Greatest Show of
if
Unless you pky your poll tax
on or before May the first, this
year, you will be disfranchised.
See that your tax receipt says for
the year 1909. Pay now, don’t
put it off. The Democrats would
like nothing better than to know
that you had failed to pay and
was disfranchised.

best business men, the home a

The State Dispatch one of its
efficient officers and loyal friends.
The people of Southern Guil
ford county have hardly recover
ed from the shock of that horri
ble tragedy, when Simpson Coble
was killed by his brother-in-law,
before another equally as brutal
and horrorfying is committed.
That section of the country is
getting quite a reputation for
lawlessness. >
The past week two prominent
physicians of Guilford county, on6
from the city of Greensboro and
the other from the country, were
indicted in the city court at
Greensboro for the promiscuous
issuing of prescriptions for whis
key. But they fell down. The
enWcement of the prohibition
law is a problem that is yet far
from being solved.

Prohibition does prohibit the
lawful manufacture and sale of
whiskey in North Carolina, but,
not the drinking of the fiery fluid j
from other states. More tem-1
perance and less prohibition j
would greatly improve matters. |
