Today it strikes a crust from the lips of a starving child and tomorrow levies tribute from the govern ment itself. , ' There is no cottage humble enough to escape it, no pal ace strong enough to shut it out. It defies the law when it can not coerce suffrage. It is flexible to cajole, but merciless in victory. , It is the mortal enemy of peace and order, the despoiler of men and terror of women, the cloud that shadows the faces of children, the demon that has dug more graves and sent more souls unsaved to judgment than all the pestilences that have wasted life since God sent the plagues to Egypt, and all the wars since Joshua stood be fore Jericho. It comes to ruin, and it shall profit mainly by tho ruin of your sons and mine. It comes to mislead human souls and to crush human hearts under its rumbling wheels. It cOmes tobring gray-haired mothers down in shame and sorrow to their graves. It comes to change the wife's love into despair and Iher pride into shame. It comes to still the laughter on the lips of little children It comes to stifle all the music of the home and flU it with silence and desolation. It comes to ruin your body and mind, to wreck your home and it knows it must measure, its prosperity by the swiftness and, certainty with which it recks the world: Grady loved the South as his own soul.

Zion church were honored with the presence of Mr. T. W. Bickett, who delivered x delight- f ul lecture in the interest of Prohibi tion. Mr. Bickett . is strongly in favor of .Prohibition, and W soon as he arose to speak there was a great lush iu the congregation, vevery eye ' was turned toward him, every ear was openedVfor the hearing of what jhe had to say and in a . little while, we fijuess nearly everymbuth was open ed,' for tne people seemed to swallow every word he said. ' After lecturing about an hour: and a half, reaching the zenith of his ar gument, and holding the people spell- bound all the while , with ; his elo quence, Mr.JBickett took his seat to rrr TH? cototy, the LOUISBURG. H. C. Prohibition - (mmittee. receive many hearty congratulation!; (mainly by the ladies.; ' After the choir had given a son, and prayer had been offered the con gregation adjourned, wishing very much to hear Mr. Bickett again. IT. J. Base-Ball. he Youngsville team came over on Monday and crossed bats with the Louisburg boys. Quite a large crwd was attracted to the grounds in the Graded School campus, and the game was called promptly at 4 o'clock, with J. A. Turner as Umpire. The, batteries were Youngsville, Purgurson and Riddick. Louisburg, Yarboro and Wyatt. At the start the game promised to be very ' inter esting, but before the second inning had been completed it was very ap parent that the Louisburg boys were "out-classed, and they soon came to the conclusion that in order to play ball, it was absolutely necessary to have a httle "practice." Although one-sided the game ..was yery much en joyed. Everything pass ed of! orderly and very little - "kick ing was indulged in, even at the oc casional seeming errorsot the "digni fied" umpire. ' "r ? A number of very good plays were made, and the' pitcher and catcher, of the Youngsvuie team did some fine playing. The score was 23 (to 3 in favor ;of 1 Harris and Hardester of the ' Youngsville team made three base hits,, and Riddick of the same learn made a two base hit Purgurson struck out 17, TJnderweod 3, Yarboro 4, and Beck 3. ; ' Professor Conley, Dr. L G. Rid. dick, Messrs. B; A. Tlmberlake, Joe Wilson, David Spivey, Marvin Perry, Lee Winston, R. C.

A COWARDLY ACT COUUITTED Irf THE DA V :A f: , - . . m . ', Induce to Come out From His House byV a qunv Shot, and Then Shot Without a Word of Warnlnff. C v v A -most; daitaxdly , and fiend! st act was committed in "town oa Mon day night, when G. 8. Eirp,a special policeman, ks bducf by t gun shot to comr out from his hocs. He heard the explosion'of the gun a few minutes Jafterhe kad retired, about ten o'clock, and also heard the hot strike the house, ne arose and walked out 14 his" porch in his night clothes, and a dost look around the premises disclosed two men standing orvsquatUn a short distance from hii dwellinK. He went back in the house, slipped on his pints and Uk. ing kis pistol walked out in the yard. The two objects wsre still in the yard; and upon sskirfg -'them their business he was fired upon with a shot gun, quite a number of shot taking effect in bis right arm, side and leg. He then turned to go bick into the house and received another shot on the left side.. Thefifndi then fled. Dr. J. J. Mann wucsfl d in and dressed the wounds, and 'found that none of the wounds wtreVeeectirilr !tah - - ; : The next thought was , who could have done the shooting? jV Suapioioa rested -pon two fcegroea, Marcos apb,Go. Rutfin, one of "whom "had beeri arrested by arp i. on. Saturdsy before for disorderly trxjadupt, fc ne had been heard to make threats, and evidence wis soon secured to jastlfy the issuance ot a warrant of arrest.' A preliminary bearing was had be fore Mayor Yarborough on Wednes day morning, and Sam Champion, a white man, testified that he met these two negroes,' (Marcus having a gun under his arm) a short while before the shooting took place, and the? I were goin? in the direction of Earps bouse. Ine defendants endeavored to prove an alibi by several ' of tieir -own race, but the Mayor was Hot satisfied, and held them in bonds of $500 each for their sppearanoe at next term of th Superior Court. . There bright much indignation among our people thst inch a das tardly ana cowardly act should be committeed in our town, and there is a determination on the part of our law-abiding citizens to probe ths matter to the bottom. While the eridenoe, so far, tgaint theRaffios, is all circumstantial, there is a strong sentiment th.v they are the guilty 'partes. Dr. Hatch on Prohibition. Why I favor prohibition. Fint of all because it !a my duty as a crrrU tianto do all in my power to kit a men from destruction, to save moth ers and children from suffering and want,fmd to relieve all manner of suffering that is common brrever liquor is'manufactured, sold, nr den ok. I consider myself a good prohibition ist in the sense, that we Vay a good party man' is whetT he vows for the nominee of his party, whether be, likes him or not- " , V- There are some features inlhe pro hibition bfll to be ratified or rejected by the people on the 2Gth of May, that one objection. I fear some drug; gist will abuse the;; privilege a' tar will allow, them. I fear they may vio lata the law while they are supposed to sell only for medicine as the law prescribes.1 I fear the. law willv be debauched.' I fear that some doctors will do harm by writing prescriptions indiscrimiately and in - violation of the law. -1 fear that some of our efH cers may- allow violators to po un punished for different . v - m fstr there will spring up staoa drag. gisU who may handle wbUkey a kind of .union that will - be liule i less powerful,; -. than tne- ordinary tmloa of the old syli4 bar keepers. I fear mamidrtaliuee will impose such tax oa druggist, who' handle whlsksy foriasdicae as provkled by the Uw, as to iariu vio lation of the same,as his been ssa la towns where the sale of whisk ty has been la the druggists hands, we have found thai some hate shown ,lhra wires to be orditury bir iepsrs. What good will csme cf chaabg from one class of men to another the pnriltge to sell whiskey and why tbe expense of holding an eltccloa only to bring about this ehaai. However, I shall voU for prohlbi tion in North Carolina, becaute it it my privilege and doty, then If the law shall be ratified and allowed lo be loosely kept the .nasponsibllity rests not on me. Before doting f would ask Mr. Plummer. Dar'u If he mneabera the Lord's prayer, that pan tsptcully that says: "Lead us not Into teap- UUon, but deliver us from evil. If ta voting sgminst prohibition wt are not leading into or putting Uaptitioa oexore men, as in voting for proba tion we are delivering men irod evh. So with all the objections to the law and all the reasons siiajt it. 1 be JisTe prohibition is right. So Jet us hope there will be ewh unity of thogbt and such oaeaees la voting on the 2Cta of Msy, That this one- geatcurse ehali be drivea from our borders. ' P. R. Hatcu. Death of Hrs. C. H. Bclaurin.
