GREAT PROHI
BITION MEETING
N N
The Court House Crowded tb Hear
Governor Glenn—Good Musk
and Singing
The Court House was crowded
last night to hear the prohibition
speech of Cov. R.li. Glenn. Peo
ple were here from all sections of
the county. The Governor made
a powerful appeal to the voters to
stand by the women and children
and on t'»e a6th day of • May vote
for prohibition. \ \
The meeting last night was
opVned with "Carolina" led by the
children of the Graded School, this
was followed bv prayer by the
Rev C. L Read of the Methodist
Church, after which a temperance
song was sung.
Mr. W. C. Manning, Chairman
of the Anti- SUoon League Exec
utive Committee, in a short bu»
appropriate s[.eec'i introduced the
Governor.
For an hour and a half the Gov
ernor held the closest attention of
the large audience, aud pleaded
with them "to stand by the girls
and boys of the 'grand old North
State.' Lack of time prevents us
from dwelling on the speech, but
one thin£is sure, it took the crowd
ed house and many votes w *re
made by it. The people of this
section l>elieye in Robert Broadnax
Glenn, and will always remember
| him lovingly and charitab'y.
When the train arrived l yester
day evening the Governor was met
at the depot by the Williamston
Brass Band, two white floats car
rying Williamston's fairest jewels,
and hundreds of the citizens of the
town and county. A procession
was formed and the Governor
and his host, Col. W. G. Lamb, in
I \
a carriage all trimmed in white
were escorted -to the residence
of Mr. Lamb.
After leaving the residence of
Col. Lamb the floats were driven
through the town, the young ladies
and» little girls singing temper
ance songs When the float car
rying the larger girls was opposite
Mr. John D. Simpson's, one of the
standards gave way and all the
young ladies except two wert
thiown to the street. Miss, Louise
Kowden falling first and the of
the girls on top of her. She sus
tained severe bruises but no bones
were broken. Miss Mary Dare
Brown was also hurt pretty'badly,
but not seriously. The other girls
w'ete more fortunate, their clothing
being damaged more than their
bodies.
The young ladies are doing very
well this morning and it is hoped
that they i*jll scxhu be able to be
out again.
The plajing of the band at the
[depot, in the parade and in the
courthouse last "night has beet)
highly complimented.

A great many people imagine they
hive heart trouble when the fact is
that the whole trouble lies iu the
stomach. The pains in the side
around the region of the heart are
not necessarily heart trouble. We
suggest that you start with, the
stomach and whenever you feel a
depression after eating or when
ever your food seems to nauseate
take Kodol. It will not be very
long until all these "heart pains"
will disappear. Take Kodol not.
and until you know you are right
again. There isn't any doubt
about what it will do and you yrill
.find the truth of this statement
verified after you have used Kodol

Prohibition Day
at Holly Springs
Announcement was made that
on the afternoon of the 4th Sunday
in April there would be held in Hol
ly Springs Church a meeting in the
interest of prohibition. The 4th
Sunday is not the regular day for
services at Holly Springs but the
house was filled to the full limit of
its capacity and some stood about
the walls.
The atmosphere was charged
with enthusiasm, of expectation,
of genuine interest.
At a tew minutes past three
o'clock the choir sang America,
'he congregation joining in, in
good earnest.
Mr. Charlie Daniels made the
opening address showing the blight
ing, baneful, retarding effects of
tl»e saloon, and setting forth in a
splendid way the improved condi
tion that prohibition would pro
duce. Write it everywhere, by-
Edgar Daniel; What License Is,
by Mack Jones; Whiskey in its
Place, by Kanuie Gurkin; The
Drunkard's Wife, l»y Fannie Rob
erson; Duet, by Misses Andrews;
The Baby, or the Bottle,by Fannie
Maud Manning; Get off the Hell-
Bound Train, by Will Manning;
When the Bars are Gone, by Mr.
Ben Hopkins; It is Nothing to Me,
by Fannie B. Manning; Paying
With Boys, by Lucian Har
dison. The above indi
cates the interest in this cause felt
by the good people of Holly Springs
and the effective delivery of these
speeche l - showed that the young
people have caught the spirit of
prohibition enthusiasm and resolu
tion
To Mrs. J. B Hardison and MrV
Ed Daniel is largely du»» the credit
for the work done in this cause;
though when asked who had assis
ted, Mrs. Hardison replied that
they all showed great interest in it.
At the conclusion of this pro
gram Messrs: W. C. Manning,
Walter Anderson and W. A Elli
son made effective speeches.
The pastor then invited any who
were opposed to the temperance
measure to state his position' and
give his reasons. There was no
response.
All who favored voting out the
saloons on May 2fr were asked to
stand, and the entire congregation
with the exception of £jiraen per
haps stood up. Any who favored
retaining the saloons were given
[opportunity to express it by stand
ing. All remained seated.
The meeting was large aild en
thusiastic. If the rest of the county
does as well K»v the prohibition
cause as the community about Hol
ly Spring will do M&rtin County
will be a banner county on the dry
list by an overwhelming majority.

Was not Murder, but Carefully and
Deliberately Punned Suicide.
The mystery surrounding the
shooting of Elias B. McLawhorne
has at last been solved. Mr. J. J.
Stroud, one of the contractors
working on the City Hall brought
the information to Sheriff Crawford
and Chief of Police Page this week
from Mr. Joe McLawhorne, brother
of the deceased. The message sent
to the officers was in substance as
follows: that 'he ogicers here need
not worry any more about the af
fair, as lie, (Mr. Joe McLawhorne)
was satisfied that it was a case of
suicide, having seen the letter writ
ten by the deceased the night of the
shooting. That the letter was
written to Mrs. McLawhorne and
told her about the plan and why be
was going to shoot himself.
This information clears up a
dark mystery and removes every
suspicion as to the perpetrator of
the crime.
The officers here have written to
Mr. Joe McLawhorne for the letter,
but have not vet heard from him.
The letter when received will be
published, as in justice to the cit
izens of 1 lie community it should
be. %
Several of our citizens have
always held to the'suicide theory,
but the evidence before the Coro
nies J ury Was to the contra#.
The family knew at the time of
Mr. McL**home's death that it
was suicide, and should have said
so then, instead of leading the
people to believe it was minder and
putting the officers to the unneces
sary expense they had in trving to
find the supposed murderer.

When you think of Indigestion
think of Kodol. for it is without
doubt, the only preparation that
completely digests all classes of
food And that is what you need
when you have indigestion or stom
ach trouble—something that will
act promptly but thoroughly: some
thing that will get right at *he
trouble arid do the very work itself
for the stomach by ) digesting the
fo nl that you eat and that is Kodol.

Worse Than an Infidel
was the verdict pronounced more than
eitfl teen centuries ago by a great leader
named Paul on the "man who provided
not for his own household " He ' was
worse than an infidel." Yet life insur
ance, the most efficient means of protec
tion known to -civilisation, "was not "
known to man until a little over 200
years ago.
The beneficient effects which have
flowed from life insurance directly as
well as indirectly, have become part of
the richest heritage of humanity and
done more to inculcate the virtues of
providence than all other causes com
bined. It is a form of religion wliich
unselfish in that it cares for others, so
that from a human side, it is religion it
self. 011 the other hand "the infinite
volumn of huuian misery, anguish and,
despair worse than all the accumilati i
horrors of-war, pestilence and famine
combined," which have been directly the
result of prosperous men who neglect to
insure their lives for the benefit of their
families is appalling to the proportions.
Does your family stand in imminent
danger like that? Your wife? Yoii*
daughter ? Yes they lo, if you have
not provided for tlietn in case of your
death.
