Mr. Editor : Again we have been fired on broadsided by Tattle's reformer and Mr. Dog Killer about the dis tilleries. And what are we going to do ? Will the correspondents never get tired of this subject, and find something else to write about ? It is to be hoped so at any rate. Now, we do not wish to take the defensive side of this question for we cannot conscien tiously do so for beyond a doubt it is one of the greatset evils in our land, as it has ruined more happy homes, blighted more lives and sent them on the downward road to destruction and despair than any other one evil in our land, and were it possible for us to forever banish it from the face of the earth by our ballot we could not cast it quick enough. But as it is here and will ever be it behooves us as citizens to make the best of the situation. Now. Mr. Reformer says he likes for people to tell him of his faults, and in this particular he differs from us, for we never thought it was nice to have our faults told to us, and besides we had rather see our own faults without having to be told of them. But as he is quite different from us we will comply with his request. In the first place we think he has made a mistake in selecting a name, and if he will consult Webster we think he will readily agree with us, for we doubt very seriously whether he is a preacher or even an exhorter. But Mr. Dog Killer we think has selected the right name and we think lie would make a greater success if he would fol low the trade thnt his name im plies. Surely no man can ever accomplish much good by using !such abusive language as ho did. I But there are other evils abroad in this land of ours aside from the liquor habit, and for the benefit of Dog Killer and Reformer we will mention one which wo dare say they are encouraging all they can and this is the tobacco habit. [ls it not true that millions of boys fill premature graves every year and what have either of you ever (lone to stop this curse. But on the other hand do you not put forth every effort to raise every available pound. Look what a deplorable condition our country is in now on account of baying fertilizer to raise this worthless weed. The Bible plainly tells us to "let our moderations be known unto all men." We should not be continually abusing some one about doing things that are wrong and at the same time 1)9 indul ging in something that is equally as bad. We should not be forever abusing souts church member about something and at the same time blind to our own faults. Finally '"let him that is without sin cast the first stone." And now Mr. Dog Killer if you would con vert the people of Walnut Cove of the error of their ways, you must first get right your self and then remember that they are not devoid of all reason, also remember that no man has ever converted a man by abusing him. And now Mr. would-be "Reformer," having com plied with your request in point ing out one of the great evils of our country, and one in which you are taking a part, will you set about making things right V With malice for none and kindest regards for all.
