Mr. W. L. Cochran, of OtiArv'a Sto.

We ProalblUoa Arranacnte,
Gossio fails to Interest and anftndAl
loses piauancv to the man whohaanncA
discussed prohibition. As his appetite
inslaves the inebriate, as his nassion
absorbs the lover, as his delusion : nos-
sesses the lunatic, so does this pregnant
question murder the spicy variety ot
pavement topics. At several loafers'
resorts the pointed reouest not to soft
on the floor, and the stern announce
ments of a strict adherence to the cash
system, have been interspersed with in
terdictions of prohibition arguments.
But the ajronv will be alleviated Thnrs
day.
Unprecedented Hammer Trade.
It is said the trade of Charlotte has
been better this summer than ever be
fore. A railroad agent "yesterday sta
ted that the shipments from Charlotte
over his road were 40 per cent, larger
than he had ever known during the
summer months. A prominent busi
ness merchant said that his trade was
increased one hundred per cent, over
that for the same time last year. These
cheerful statements are made through
out the city and the only ground for
fear that the fall trade will not also be
unprecedentedly large is the drought,
which it is thought is not so extended
over the territory from which our trade
is drawn as to seriously impair it.
Beaaoa freaenusd with a Cane.
Mr. E. J. Allen, the Donular jeweler
of the city, yesterday, through the city
prohibition executive committee, pre
sented the temperance orator, Luther
Benson, with a handsome eold headed
cane as a mark of the appreciation of
his work in this Citv for the cause of
prohibition. It is much to be regretted
that as the cane was presented just as
jar. .Benson was aoout to tafce the 8.80
train for Statesville, that he had no
ime to acknowledge the comnliment
with a speech inhisuniane and en
gaging manner. Cordial thanks hasti
ly expressed Was however all that the
schedule and his engagement at States
ville allowed.
Bemam l Cnlrairy.
Mr. Luther Benson addressed the
congregation of Calvary church Sun
day night, and for one and a half hours
discussed in his inimitable style, of
course adapted to the day and the place,
temperence and prohibition. When
he concluded there was a. general and
eathuslastic request ttn& he" should
pWceedVrmany ;: declaring that; they
could listenj-withjout weariness' until 12
o'clock. I JJut Mr. Benson excused him
eel. He was worn out, he said, by his
repeated speeches during the week. A
vote was then taken for prohibition,
the question being put by the old pastor,
Rev. J. p. Butt. The vote was unani
mous nfayor of the measure. -

on which he proved right. At the con
clusion of the month the W's were to

ports that the real weather and the
forecast were about as stronzlv con
trasted as was possible. When the

Wa Peraon Can Sail or dire Away In-
toxieatlnglilqnors on Day of Elec
tion. Having received letters from per
sons in various portions of the State
asxing whether or not spirituous
liquors may be sold or given away on
day of election, I beg leave to reply
through the columns or your paper.
By reference to Battle's Revisal, page
322, sections 149 and 150, we find the
following: No person or persons
shall give away in any public place, re
tail or sell, except on prescription of a
a.j si a - a-
practicing puysician, ana ior meaicai
purposes, any intoxicating liquors at
any time within twelve hours next pre
ceding or succeeding any public elec
tion, Or during the holding thereof, at
any place within five miles of an elec
tion precinct s Any person or persons
violating the provisions of the preced
ing section shall be guilty of a misde
meanor, and punishable with a fine of
not less than one hundred or more than
one thousand dollars."
These sections apply to- the election
held the fourth day of August next.
Attention is further directed to Bat
tle's EevisaH page 445, section 87, which:
reads as xoiiows : "if any person shall
treat with either meat or drink on any
day of election, or any day previous
tnereto, with an intent to innuence tne
election, he shall forfeit and pay two
hundred dollars, the one-half for the
use of the county, and the other to the
use of the persons who shall sue for the
same.
The prohibitory committees
in the.
Several counties and townships
are ur-
requested to see to it
that the
aw in this respect is rigidly
enforced.
Discretion and judgment should ehar
acterize their action in dealing with
these complicated-questions.. The flat
has already, gone forth that prohibition
is to be defeated by the free use of
money and liquor.

To the Voters of Mecklenburg tiounty :
Before another week shall passaway

traffic in intoxicants shall close forever
in MecKienDurg county or not. Recog
nizing that our true sphere is not the
political arena or public places, bat the
home, the fireside, and . the privacy of
the domestic circle, yet we cannot be
insensible to tne tact that the issue of
this election is freighted with vital in.
terest to ourselves and those most dear
to us.
We have, therefore, not deemed it
improper to make a last appeal to the
manhood or our dear old county to de
liver us irom uie eviis or. the whiskey
unmc
If we are deeply moved in this mat.
ter, it is because the poisoned shafts of
tne great enemy oiour race have en
tered our own hearts.
If unusual earnestness has marked
our efforts in this behalf, it is because
we are fully sensible that a treachAr.
ous xoe staixs in our midst, ever seek
ing an opportunity to strike a blow at
the peace and happiness of the inner
circle ox our homes.
Constrained by the imnnlsef hoiv
love, which God has planted in the ma
ternal bosom of animals as well as wo
man, we appeal to the true xnanhnnd
or the men of Mecklenburg, to shield
and protect the innocent boys and un
tried youth of our county from the
baleful influence of strong drink by
banisbinz from our midst the licAnstAd
bar. In the presence of this great ques-
uuu, las issue or wnicn involves so
much or happiness or woe in this sor
rowing world of ours, we beseech you,
uieu ui. mecKienDurg, to smx au per
sonal differences, all objections to the
law, and forgetting the bitterness and
unkind feelings engendered in the heat
of the campaisrn. let every one who
seeKs the good of his fellow man unite
m this effort to banish from our fair
land this plague of strong drink.
Brave men of Mecklehburer. it is the
cry of womao, suffering woman, that
bids you to the contest with the evil
which has brought this suffering upon
us. Be but true to yourselves and the
generous emotions of your own hearts,
ana our appeal snail not be in vain.
