Here is a most significant state ment from Joseph Chamberlain, the great Britisli statesman, on the liquor ([uestion: •‘No statistics are needed to show our people that temperance reform lies at the bottom of pol itical, sccial and moral progre.ss ill England. Drink is i!ic curse of the country; it ruins the fortunes, it injures the health, it destroys the iives of one of every twenty of our population If I co-jld destroy tomorrow the desire for strong lrink in the people ot England, what changes we should see! We should see our taxes reduced by millions sterling; we should see our jails and workhouses empty; wc should see more lives saved in twelve months than are consumed in a century of bitter and savage war.—Exchange. New Gold District is Found in Alaska. Seattle, Wash., April 1C —A dis- patcli from Fairbanks, Alaska, to the Post Intelligencer, says that word has been received there that two men who made the recent rich strike on Nolan creek, Koyukulk, have already panned out $30,000 and that they only took the pans from bed rock, the gravel going to build up a big dump to be washed up in the T .. H.’n n cirm. spring. In Wiseman creek a simi lar wash has been found, and if the men now at work strike as rich pay as found on Nolan creek another big camp will spring up in Alaska.—Hx, Appointments, Rev. R. 1.

Ayden's Greatest Bay in its His tory—95 per cent oftheVoters Present Pfeaged Themselves to Vote for Prohibition. Big Robbery Business, Saturday was a led-letter day for Ayden and the prohibition cause. People began to come into town early in the morning, from every direction and long before the hour assigned for the speak ing our town was alive with a crowd far in excess of what had ever’been witnessed here before At the hour of 1 o’clock, a large number of our citizens mounted on horse back, went out to meet the Governor, these were accom panied by several ladies in vehicles. Capt. D. G. Berry, Chief Marshal was in command, and a large white prohibition flagwascarried by Mr. Guy Ross. The whole party must have numbered 250 that escorted the Gov., into the town and through some of the principal streets to the speaker’s stand. The stand was commodiously arranged and beautifully decorat ed with bunting, upon which was inscribed, “North Carolina for Prohibition.” The Gov., and his party reached the stand at 2 39p. ra. A large □umber of young people sang an opening song. An address of wel come was delivered by E. T. Phil lips of Ayden. A warm reception was tendered our chief executive, A host j jined in singing a stirring temperance anthem led by Miss Laura Cox of the Graded School. Rev. W. C. Tyree of Raleigh led in jrayer. Ex Gov. T.J. Jarvis in lis usual liappy style introduced the speaker. WLeu the Gov. arose to speak, he w’as gieeted with strong applause. For over two hoxtrs he dealt sledge hammer blowsforthecause of prohibition and held the thou sands in bis hearing spell bound with his sound logic. He discuss ed the prohibition question from every stand x3oint both commer cially and morally and showed how flimsy were the arguments for the continuance of the drink business in North Carolina. He defied any man to come forward, hold up his hand and say that liquor had been a blessing to him aul his family. He indicted the Imsiness under twenty diflerent counts and condemned it under each count. Showed how the country had improved uncler the Watts law, and that as liquor had been banished, wealth and intelligence had correspondingly increased at a rapid rate. Told oftlie cowardice ot those who advocated whiskey, that they dared not come upon the stand openly to defend their cause Showed the folly of savingdollars by preparing to damn the sons and daughters of the rising gen eration, Finally he called upon the men in bis presence who would vole for prohibition on IMay 26th to vow to God, by holding up their hands, that they would do so. Fully 95 per cent of the men present called upon God to wit ness that on May26ththey would vote to banish the curse of whis key and uphold the honor of the state and the virtue and happi ness of tberisiDggeneration. With such entbusiam for a cause it is bound to succeed. The dark busi ness must go down. Victory is in the air. Pitt County is going dry by a rousiug vote, and the Old North State will cover herself with glory on May the 26th. The governor dined at Hotel Blount with a number of citizens, and left on the 6,20 train for Richlands where he spoke on Sun day. Honor to our citizens for the noble part they are taking in this campaign. Honor to our fair daughters for their worthy in fluence and their willing work. Prof J. A. McArthur Principal of the Ayden Graded School, was Master of Ceremonies, and Ayden clothed herself in glory on the OC' casion. Waynesville, N. C., April 17 — Particulars ot the robberies by and the subsfEiuent arrest of two men just over the Jackson county line reached here today. For sev eral months cil'ztns of the Scott’s Creek ueighboihood, iiearBalsam have been terrorized by midnight robberies and house-breakings Suspicion rested upon two men of the community, Claud Dills and Bill Jones, but they were not molested until a few days ago. A : man in the neighborhood missed some chickens from his roost, and being on the look out, sa in the poultry yard of Dills He at once got out a warrant for Dills and had him arrested. With Deputy SberifY Robinson, he searched the prem'ses of Dills and Jones, who were living nearby, and made some astonishing dis coveries. In and around the houses of the two men were found shoes, hats, clothing, stock feed and almost every variety of articles taken from stores and private dwell ings. Among otherthingsa bunch of keys weighing over a pound, which will gain entrance to any house in the neighborhood, was found. The inventory of the ar ticles found covers about ten closely written pages. The prisoners now are safely lodged in Jackson county jail at Webster.—News and Observer.
