The day opened with i clear sky and everything was favor tble for the temperance advocates, bo started to work early and did not cease in their well doing until the vote vas canvassed after sundown. Every--went off quietly and ' not the slightest evidence of violence or ni ieeling was manifested; "-'The' saloons were closed in pursuance -of the law. The saloon men i and their, friends tew their fate and acceptedhe situ ation in a graceful and most commend able manner. " , .' ' ' Jn: . .. ; .'; With the exception of one ward, there was no irregularities or evidence of fraud. The poll-holders seemed bent on doing their duty in accordance with the law. Quietness prevailed at the polls and the- day had the jsem hlasce of Sunday rather than an elec tion day. Many, who were entitled to rote did not attend the polls.' In every ward except ; the seventh, which is the Diamond Corner and Dry Point section, the temperance "forces won a decided victory, i It" was in this ward that irregularities were allowed. About a half-dozen men who had failed to comply with the Constitutional pro vision with reference to the poll tax were allowed to vote. ? This was done in open defiance 'of the-' law and against the. advice of the city attorney and the attorney general, whose letter was read to the poll-holders It is highly probable that . these . offenders will he prosecuted. , . The vote by wards gave the prohibi tion side the following majorities: First, 73;' Second; 15; Third, 44; Fourth, 45 ; Fiftht 4; Sixth, 17. ' ! Sev enth, a majority of 25 for saloons. There were only 196 votes cast for saloons and thus is seen that ,tha majority against saloons ,was almost equal to the entire vote cast for sa- -loons. . -t dL.-s"- - The result of the election is a. de cided victory for morality, and Chris tian influence. The ladies seemed las touch interested in the fight as the men. All day, long they held prayer in the churches and tolled the church bells. They alternated from one church to another and changed lead . ers every half an hour, l In- the' early Lmorning the ladies of the Woman's Christian Temperance' Union f distrib uted pretty ribbon badges to the young ladies of the city and not1 one was inown to refuse the white emblem. The interest of these ladies "and the doleful sounds of the. church hells, had great influence in determining the re sult of the election. - ; V Much credit, is due the pleaders in this fight for morality'for It resolved itself into purely this. ; They worked Tinceasingly, and this work Tnas Jbeen going on for many weeks. Their forces were thproughly organized and tney were ready for the : great tsonflict of ballots. ". , Last Friday they had a suficessful and enthusiastic tentnieetJngnlhe Seventh ward.

Mr. Christian, 'pastor of the Berkley (Va.) Methodist Church. 1 Mr.' Christian; proved -the very man for the occasion. His speech was the ablest ever heard here on the question. It was Just what was needed at. the time. ; For an'hour and a half he pour ed hot v shot - into ? the ranks of the enemy, and when he had finished it was apparent that'the irtsdys?bat tle would be won against" the saloon. The speech -was an exceptionally able one. It was logical, "eloquent ahd pa thetic. t He'; iaiddown. a premise that "anything that, lives .upon the misery of mankind has no right to live." He argued upon" this proposition and his arguments were scathing." He spoke in - a -tent pitched in 'the vacant lot adjoining the Academy of Music build ing. - While he i thus , thundered against the-saloon as a dangerous institution to the body ' politic," the ex-Rev. Mr. Babb was ' above . in the' Academy oi Music babbling - to a disgusted audi ence of men . only. . His V effort was weak, even for the man who had been excommunicated from .the Christian ministry under charges for almost every- crime in the decaloguej - His speech was interspersed with vulgar jokes and many who had gone out to hear him prompted by curiosity alone, left " the hall " in ' dis gust. The speech cost ; the saloon men at least, fifty votes according to. the statement, ,ofj one of their number. . The contrast, of -the two meetings was great. Ia one there .were men only, who were compelled to listen to vulgar jokes and the verbosity of the inconsistent man. In the other were men and women, who opened their meeting by invoking the blessings of God upon - their, efforts." " Music" and the approving of mothers and children were. here. . The contrast of the two assemblages was convincing argument against saloons. S;v: Wednesday night -a union prayer meeting was - held in , the Baptist Church. It was.: a religious - meeting, and not the least signs of exultant feel ing .was manifested. The meeting was largely attended and the preach ers and a number of laymen led in prayer. The remarks; evinced the kindliest feeling, , especially towards the saloon men of the city, who, as a class, were referred to in terms high ly complimentary, Mr, Tuttle, who was j perhaps the principal speaker, said in part: - . Let Us Help Theirj. - "Now : that the prohibition - forces have won , a very decided victory, they should try to make the victory popu lar even with those who resisted it. Christians, like their Christ, should win the devoted affections of those they overcome in conflicts for truth's ever advancing conquests. A greater victory than driving away the saloon business- would be to win to the love of Christ the saloon ; keeper himself. How shall we do this ? .'Certainly not by crowing over, his defeat or; telling him to go somewhere else. How then? Answer: ; By doing unto them as we would have them do unto us.:.

It is with pleasure that, we note the signal success of Capt.. Albert '."Vy". Guard, of the steamer Ocracoke one of the steamers' of the Old . Dominion Steamship Company,; The story of h connection with this company . would be the - recital of fequent promottoij, well merited by efficiency as an officer.

Capt. Guard began his career on tne water as a deckhand on a small tug. This was Eixteen years ago, and sine? that time he has. achieved a success that Is as creditable to himself as it is gratifying to ,his friends. He was made captain" of the steamer Virginia Dare in June, 1901. He . remained o:i this' boat until December 3902, when he was transferred to the steamer Hat teras. In Februarys of this year ho was made master of the steamer New berne and he remained on her until last May, .when he was . promoted to the captaincy of the steamer Ocracoke CAPT. ALBERT W.
