"leplared himself so emphatically I
that no one followiDg him had the
nerve to so much as even mention
or refer to Salisbury either direct
ly or indirectly."
When Ethen Allen, atheist that
he $eas, rushed into the officers
quarters of Fort Ticohderoga and
with sword, in hand- commanded
the British General, Bradley, to
surrender "in the name of the
great Jehovahjand the'Continentai
Congress," you can imagine the
cowd and prayerful attitude which
crept over the once proud, gold
braided, .strutting Britisher.- This
was playing the burlesque for all
it might bring, and in" a good
" cause, btrt when we read such
biased drivel as quoted above,
one feels that the day of small
. things and weakling is, like the
flies of Egypt, taking the- land.

seems, in some instanoes, deliber

indulged in. As i for Mr.; Clark

knows that the haoitualv use ?of
whiskey is debauching, eyery post

and the court records of our "ad
" joinining cities and counties . bear
indisputable testimony to the fact
that whiskey has been, is and will
continue to be made an article of
traffic to pollute and debauch
the hear by communities so long
as it is made andjold here. This
has become such a fixture and
notorious fact that certain trains
going out from Salisbury, for the
last several years, owing to the
great quantity of whiskey hauled,
bave become known as the "booze
specials.": Our dram loving au
thorities -being indebted for their
positions to the : whiskey ring,
have stood with open arms to all
comers, receiving the driven-outs
from Charlotte, - Greensboro,
Statesville, Georgia and Alabama,
until we have been overpowered
and beyond redemption without
outside help,' Had as well say
the inhabitants of Smithtown are
engaged in evangelizing the heath

bubbling slops are necessary parts

morality arid virtue are to longer

The House of Representatives
has passed ' a bill authorizing a
State election on prohibition to
be. held on "the last Thursday in
April and providing that the sa
loons and distilleries shall close
upon January lstfi'19p7, should
the ; election be successful. In
our opinion , it would be much
better to have them close prior
to the November election.
Probably some people would
like to have the passenger fares
on the railroads made 5 cents
per mile and have it made com
pulsory for every citizen to take
at least four trips a year. Or, if
the: success of everything in the
State depends upon the passenger
rates, why not make them 10
cents per mile, notwithstanding
the roads are willing to do the
same work at 2 l-2c.

The bill aa amended, rn df ing
several of its pjovisi'i.s i i slight
particulars, was adopted after a
session lasting until midnight;
The most important of the amend

the clock, with 82 for the bill and

stormy one, was good natured in
