A CALL TO VOTERS OF ROWAH. Some of the DamaginfEffects ol the Use of Alcoholic Beierages. Mr. Editob: "...: The very thought of tbe possibility of Rowan County and the State of Nerth Carolina being delivered from the rule of King Alcohol by vote of the people on the' 20th ofnext May should carry.a thrill of joy and . hope to the heart. of every noble citizen of this county. We have patiently endured his galling yoke all too long. The history of "this reign is & long and sorrowful tale of woe and ruin. But we have be cdme too enlightened in this the 20th century to longer submit to his dominion. President Hadley of Yale University, has said, "When the, people come to under stand the real nature and effect of alcohol, they will rise up and put it. nn TOA pie-are no longer in v the dark about liquor. In addition to the bitter lessons we have learned' in the school-of experience, scientific temperance education has been disseminated in'the public schools until old and young alike are con versant with the facts. . The high est scientific authorities tell us that whiskey is not a food, But a narcotic poison, and should be prescribed with the greatest care. Its indiscriminate use has wreck ed millions of lives and homes It both irritates and paralizes the delicate organs of the body, thus rendering them unfit for the per formance of their function, ' It invites disease and robs the body of the vital powers to resist the attaks of disease. . The ravages of , consumption, and pneumonia are largely due to the use of al cohol . It makes direct attack uu nun uiguiou paiH ui uinu, bllO intellect, the memory, the feelings and the will. The brain ' is the seat of these spiritual faculties. Shakespeare says Why will men put an enemy inta their mouths to steal away their brains?" It produces insanity, imbeciles, epi leptics, idiots, and nervous wrecks. It is by means of these higher spiritual faculties which reside in the brain that we are en abled to read God's thoughts and hold communion' . with heaven, T4e use of whiskey paralizes these faculties and destroys them, thus -1 u: - rr r i -i 3"" ouuubtiig uiau uu iiuiu vruu auu heaven and reducing him to the animal life, until "being past all feeling," he is oblivious to social duties and parential reponsibili ties and deaf to the cries of a heart broken wife and cold hun gry children.' Truly there is no killing like that that kills the heart. It destroys the most ' sa cred institution under heaven, the family, the home. You are called upon by Almighty God, by church, by state and by the true yeomanry of our country, to cast your vote and use your influence for the overthrow of this arch enemy of the souls and bodies of men. s Let every father, every son a ad every person who loves home and his family, rally to the front oh May 26, and carry Rowan County by a big majority for tem perance.
