There will be plenty of the
Watchman's tickets at the polls.
Call for them, vote them.
The prospects for the defeat of
bossism aad'ringrule was never
brighter. Vote the Watchman's
ticket and a glorious victory will
be won.
Probably the necessity for a
larger jail will be apparent to the
next Board oi Commissioners.
Just vote ths Watchman tioket
rnd "turn the rascals in."
Rotation in office is as good a
doctrine as that of rotation in
crops. The so-called Democracy
rsfuses to rotate, so the people
will try it awile on their own hook.
Good, sober and prudent men
in office means protection to life
and limb, means safety to prop
erty, peace, plenty and content
ment, and bad men means just the
reverse.
Be sure to see trTat you are
properly registered. Go to your
registrar an3 see that your, name
is downright in every particular.
The registration books close
Saturday of tfhis week.
In advocating the ticket at the
head of this page, the Watchman
does not assume to dictate how
any one should vote. It is mere
ly suggestive and, personally we,
believe the best now before the
people.
Our people are as good as .any
who live, they deserve the " best
government that can be had, . and
they are not true to themselves if
they will be satisfied with any
thing less.

"Peace hath her vie- think that the way to get good

courage to vote right as it does to
shoot right.
If you have a mind make it up
to vote right just this once. No
possible barm can come to you
or the county should every man
on the Watchman's ticket be
elected next month. This will
place you in "good company and
with the victors.
The appointment of Republi
can registrars in Morgan tewn
ship, by the chairman of the so
called Democracy, for the Demo
cratic primaries, was one of those
little, spiteful proceedings Jthat is
going to do much toward making
.1. O. Houston the next sheriff of
Rowan.
Sam Jones, one of the bright
est men in the South, peace to
his ashes, obtained credit for the
saying that the "hit dog howls."
We guess he was right. We have
been talking about graft and
some one is squealing. Just vote
the Watchman ticket- and let
"her" squeal. There are no
grafters on it.
and that a change of - rulers and
affairs should be had in Rowan,
now is the time to come forward
and cast a vote accordingly.
Failure! to vote your honest con
victions is dodging your plain
duty. The ballot is the freeman's
greatest and most valuable asset.
All good men should not fail to
make use of it for his country's
welfare, for the election of the
best men that can be obtained and
for thej accomplishment of the
greatest good possible. We be
lieve if such careful discrimi
nate voting was m.re largely
practiced, great good, peace and
prosperity would result.
Why were the doors of inoffeji
sive citizens broken in? (at China
Grove a few years ago by a depu
ty sheriff.) " Why was an inoffen
sive man beat over the head in
his pl,ce of, business near the
postoffice? (by a deputy sheriff
about ono year ago,) Why was
not this deputy sheriff prosecuted
and put out of office? Why was
Hermah Shue shot down? (recent
ly at the depot by a policeman.)
Why has not this policeman been
prosecuted? Why was the jail
permitted to be entered by a mob
three times? Why was the coun
ty put to the expense of having
the military guard three negroes
who had been taken out? and re
placed j in jail by a mob (last
August.) Why have not the mur
derers and criminals running at
large been brought to justice?
Why has not the fines collected
by the mayor of Salisbury not
been turned over to the County
Ireasuirer for the school fund?

Look before you leap. Think be
fore you vote. If you have the
good of the county and State at
heart don't you believe Rowan
as the Jaw directs? . Why is the
town and county ruled by rings
and bosses? Why do we call this
kind of rule "so-called Democra
cy?" this Democracy, the part y
of purity, the party of good gov
ernment, sobriety, conservatism,
should have clean, decent men in justioej and statesmanship? No
office?

The best way to rasurrect true
Democracy in Rowan is to kill
and deeply bury the present
hybrid incumbent. Vote the
Watchman's ticket and the
blessings will be for the mass

There is real pleasure in chewing
the best tobacco grown where the
best tobacco growsin the famous
Piedmont Country.
Only choice selections of this
well-matured and thoroughly cured
tobacco is used in making
SCHNAPPS. That's why SCHNAPPS
and others of the Reynold's brands,
as shown by the Internal Revenue
statistics for a fiscal year, made the
wonderful growth of six and one
quarter million pounds, or a net
gain of one-third of the entire
increased consumption of chewing
and smoking tobaccos in the United
States.
Evidently, chewcrs cannot resist
the flavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS
because SCHNAPPS cheers them
more than any other chewing to
bacco, and every man that chews
SCHNAPPS passes the good thing
along one chewer makes other
chewers until the fact is now es
tablished that there are many more

chewers and pounds of tobacco
chewed, to the population, in those
States where SCHNAPPS tobacco
was first sold than there are in the
States where SCHNAPPS has not
yet been offered to the trade.
SCHNAPPS is like a cup of fine
Java coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. SCHNAPPS pleases all
classes of chewers: the rich, be
cause they do not find a chew that
really pleases them better at any
price ; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 10c. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ey's worth of the real snappy, stim
ulating flavor so appreciated by to
bacco, lovers. All imitations con
tain much more sweetening than
SCHNAPPS. They are made that
way to hide poor tobacco improp
erly cured.
For the man who chews tobacco
for tobacco s sake, there is no chew
like SCHNAPPS.
