MR. OLIVER ON PROHIBITION. Says That If He Couldn't Vote For the Bill He Would Be Too Busy On the 26th to Go to the Polls. Mr. Editor: For one, I have been decidedly pleased to see that so many of our county men and women, are in. terested in the subject of prohibi tion. How could it be otherwise? Tiie men who are sober and up right want everybody to be the same way. They wish the temp tation to evil put as far away as possible so that no one, old or young, shall be in danger. They sympathize with those who have cultivated a taste for strong drink, and wish to help them to reform. If they can not get the spirits, of course they will not drink it, the father-brother wants prohibition in self defence and surely every sober, thoughtful man will try to help him to rescue it. It would be a strange and un natural thing for auy womau to be opposed to the measure. If it is her good fortune to have a so ber and upright husband, and so ber good boys, she is aware of the fact that there are thousands of good women in the world who are cursed with drunken husbands and reckless sons, and for their Bakes she would lend a helping hand and do all she can to help them. Surely every good and considerate woman will use all her influence in favor of a better state of society in the home and in the country generally. If my memory serves ine correctly, I never saw a drunken womau. It would be something "new under the Bun" to me, to see a woman under the influence of liquor. If it is nice and commendable for men and boys to drink, certainly it would be for women and girls too. lam quite hopeful that the state will go by a large majority for prohibition on May 20th. but as I have said before, I want it by a unanimous vote. With all due respect to all men, if for any cause I could not vote for the bill, I certainly would be too busy on the 2(>th of May to attend the eloction. I would never appear on the 6ide of darkness, distress and ruin. Let us hope that when the law takes effect, if there is any deficiency in it, that it will soon be amended. If there should be any trouble about the execution of the law, between the State and the General government, that can and will be remedied. The tem perance sentiment is too strong in the U. S. now to be otherwise. This is something that is equally good for all sections alike, north, sonth, enst and west. There can be no tight, only with the powers of darkness, and these (with re quest I say it) are to be found in all parts of the county. Let no voter who desires a better state of society, happier homes, lower taxes and general improve ment, fail to "cast his not on the right side of the ship" on May the 2>th, IKOS. P. OLIVER.

Some Prohibition Talk, Answer to Jack Lef, Etc Pilot Mtn., April 30. Misers. Editors : I see several good letters in the Reporter on prohibition, but I had not seen very much against it until "Jack Leg'" wrote in the issue of April 23. I did not think it very wise for me to take up any space in your most valuable paper ou the subject, because there are plenty of correspondents who ought to be able to write better I on the subject than 1 can. Hut I since "Jack Leg" wrote against prohibition, 1 will ask for space, to say something in behalf of pro bibition, and against the greatest curse in our fair land today—li quor. Also in my letter I want to say something in reply to some | things Mr. "Jnck Leg" Baid in j his letter. But before Igo futher I want to say that I have not the least ill-will or hard feelings against any one who opposes prohibition. I want to, and everybody should,j treat them kindly. I just think j those, who sincerely believe we ! should not have prohibition, are honestly mistaken. I also want every reader of the Reporter to know exactly how I stand on this, the greatest ques- i tion in our State today. lam for! prohibition first, last, and all the , time. I am opposed to the j manufacture or sale of whiskey, or any other intoxicating drink, on a single foot of North Caro lina's sail. This is exnetly how I stand I will admit that the pre sent bill before the people is not exactly wnat we ought to have,: but it certainly do our State n lot j of good. Then, it is our duty to j support it and when the next legislature meets ask it toainmend ' it. If we can't get absolute pro- j bibition all at one time lets get it one step ntn time. It is im-! possible to rencb the top of a lad der at one step, but we must go one round at a time. If we can't get a whole loaf let's take half n loaf. (To be continued next week.) Hon. A. L. Brooks is speaking in the court house as the Reporter goes to press. Messrs. W. M. Chisman, W. Y. Neal, J. H. Carter and Joseph Nenl, of Pino Hall, are attending court here as witnesses this week.

Airy Monday, with out opposition. | A CALIFORNIA]*'S LUCK, i "The luckiest day of iny life was when I bought a box of Buck len's Arnica Salve," writes Charles F. Budahn, of Tracy, California.
