Its policy is ex pressed in its editorial column, and not over the r.aiv.c of contributor. The calamity howler manages to keep up a noise these days. Most people are too busy how-! ever, to give ear to !:i: lamenta tions and waitings. Democratic politicians and bosses have been seeking long and earnestly for a twin brother to the Cleveland panic and to! they have not found him. - - The trusts and democratic party are against Roosevelt and Iiis square deal policy. Its a pretty strong combination, but the people will break it. One joint debate between two democratic candidates for gov ernor satisfied both participants. It seems to have satisfied the public also. .--- .i Farmers, if you are not satis- fied with the prices you are re ceiving, for your farm products, just look up some of your old account books and compare pres ent prices wit''1 prices during the Cleveland panic. The Republican party has twelve years of unparalleled prosperity to its credit. Can the democratic party show any thing similar standing to its credit? about panics and things. Democrats are heaping abuse upon the present administration in order to turn the people from the republican party. Can any honest democrat point to a single democratic administration at tended with even the prospert which is new seen the country? throughout Every conceivable means is be ing employed by iho democratic press and bosses to lead the votes ( f the country to believe that the present financial stringency is worse than the Cleveland panic. However the average voter will net be deceived by such braying. The fact that Republican clubs throughout the State are enroll ing prominent young democrats as members is greatly, worrying! the "old stagers" of tho "dyed in the wool" class, ot democrats. But the tide has set in against the party of corruption and sooner or later the young, pro gressive, vigorous Republican party must triumph. Mr. Calamity howler, what i was the price of labor under the j Cleveland administration? Mr. i sawmill man what was the nrice I of lumber during the Cleveland reign? Mr. wood cutter, what did you get per cord for your wood from 1892 to 1SSG? Mr. merchant, what did you pay your costomers for cross-ties whde Mr. Cleveland was president, or did you buy cross -ties at any price? Mr. honest businessman, from your personal experience with both, how would you like j. i ii j. ,i 19 extnange me present ctuiuiu- istration for the last four years j of Cleveland's incumbency? i The Bulletin contains sever;1. prohibition articles this week. It is our purpose to give space tr tVint cnK-iohf till ilna dor-tlr-wi in May. Prohibition is the great-; whf f f allow1ed h works est moral question of the day .to e ma,d a,nd woman and must be settled sooner or!hood,of 0U1 State' the latter at the ballot box. We believe the liquor traffic is the greatest evil threatening our beloved State and nation as it strikes at the home the founda tion of organized society and government. In the interest of j the home, of humanity, of man hood and womanhood, of the j church, of. education, of young j men and boys, of morality and the religion of Jesus Christ we will lend our aid to carry Pro hibition and down the liquor traffic in North Carolina.

Try them for headache, biliousness, constipation and malaria. If they disappoint you the price will be cheerfully refunded at Asheboro Drug Co. Standard Drng Store. TIME FOR DECISION. "Hesitation and Indecison have never accomplished enough in this world of progress and , aggression to give them a re- spectable healing anywhere, yet it may be better to hesitate than to en'- But, when it becomes a ty tor an intelligent being to ,ia:ja KoHvcon v, Ki nt measure, the cry of those who rags and go hungry be- demands the means with which they could supply their needs: he hears not the moan of the widow who is robbed of ner support and the orphan who losses the cheer of a sober father and a happy home; he tolerates theft, arson, incest, rape and murder, possibly not intentionally, but the effect is the same nevertheless. No man who has the srood of his town nnrl miintv nt lloart o ffnv o-itrlnrr the matter careful consideration, will be willing to remain in such a position long. He can't afford to do so. Prohibition is either right or wrong. Every man is entitled to his honest, sober opinion, and no one with common intelligence-will think the less of one who differs from him on any point. We do not see things alike and therefore" should be ! charitable and patient with one another in all things. '"We have come to the point that fnr fln tn pniWe(1 Christianity, sobriety, purity of speech, virtue, decency, good government and morality in general, can not at the same time use whiskey and endorse drunkenness, for the former and latter principles are directly op posite in their essence and effects. The one builds up and ennobles tne human character and the other drags down and degrades it. We can not see how there ! can be two opinions as to the ! truth of this assertion and, con j sequently, believing that every man should come out lor that which he believes is right and just, we fully endorse the cam paign that is now being waged in this State in the cause of tem perance and sobriety. "We feel that the moral wel fare of the State, the much need ed cleansing of politics and the betterment of the various branches of government will be largely the gainer should the election be successful, to say nothing of the alleviation of the suffering of the innocent and de fenseless, the brightening of the lives and homes of thousands of our people because of the in creased sobriety of fathers, sons j and loved ones, their increased earning capacity and increased expenditures for home comforts. "We see nothing in whiskey that can possibly bring about any of these blessings, while in its use ignorance, worthlessness, disgrace, misery and death are conspicuous among its results. The Watchman feels it is its duty to cast its efforts on the side which it believes to be for the greatest good and betterment, if possible, of our people. So, with these expressions of our convictions and with good will toward all, we give notice that we join the fight for prohibition and will give from time to time further reasons why all good people should join hands and see to it that any step that tends to j sooncty and the betterment ot our common welfare is taken advantage of whenever the op portunity presents itself.'" Salisbury Watchman. . . PROHIBITION RESOLUTIONS Passed by the M. P. Congregation. ' The following resolutions were adopted in a meeting of the ; members of the M. P. church of i Ashboro on last Sunday. Whereas, the liquor traffic, morais ana lmunes tne home injuries hindering or undoing the work 1 of the church for the betterment ! of humanity. And, whereas, there is now a non-partisan, inter-denomina-itional movement seeking by a vote of the people of North Coro- lina in May next to establish State prohibition, therefoi'e be it. Resolved, that we, the Ashe- boro Methodist Protestant chnrch, in a members meeting March 1st, 1908, by a vote of the members declare in favor of the present movement for State pro hibition and that as a church we will do what we can consistently, toward carrying the election on May 26th, 1908 for prohibition. Adopted T. M. Johnson, Pastor, W. J. Teague, Secretary. SUBSCRIBE BULLETIN. FOR THE The Proposed Prohibition Law what it will and what it will not do By State OrKanizer is Anti-Saloon League. 1. WHAT IT WILL DO It will abolish every licensed whiskey and brandy distillery in the State. It will abolish every saloon and dispensary in the State. It will stop the wine traffic within the State. For wine can be sold only at the place of man ufacture in quantities of two and one-half gallons or more and not shipped anywhere in the State. It will stop the sale of all those chemical mixtures by whatever name known that will produce in- j toxication. It will place under the most stringent and binding regula tions pharmacists and physicians, who may handle intoxicating liquors for medical purposes only. It wiU allow the officials of any county or town to regulate or prohibit the sale of intoxicat ing liquors by pharmacists in the drug stores. 2. WHAT IT WILL NOT DO It will not prohibit the farmer from making cider from fruits grown on his land and selling the same at home or In his market town. It will not stop the manufact urer trom making his wine and shipping it outside of the Staae. It will stop the sale of those medical preqarations and essenc es that may haye alcohol in them to preserve them or to hold the medical agents in solution, such as camphor, vanilla, etc. It will not repeal existing pro hibition laws. It will not prohibit the sale of wine to ministers or church offi cials for sacramental purposes. It this law fails to be ratified by the people at the polls on May 2th, 1908, it will not affect the prestent status of any existing prohibition law in the State. In othea words, the dry territory will not be changed. 3. We are sure when you have studied this law you will agree with us that it is fair, Under this law, Greensboro's voting wet would not make it wet, and Salisbury's voting dry would not make it dry. Under local option Greensboro has voted dry, and as a locality she must remain -i.i:i i 1, so until the locality as such votes wet. while Salisbury has voted the other way. This vote on the manufacture and sale of in- toxicating liquors" in North Carolina is quite a different thing from local option. Again, this law is right. For the influence of liquor is never local. Salisbury or Wilmington citizens, while controlling the sale of the traffic, do not con trol the dangerous and damaging influence of this traffic. This in- i fluence is felt for hundreds of miles around. Every citizen in the State has a right to self -protection against the influence of this traffic, now centered at a few points, and the only way of protection is the abolition of the traffic throughout the State. ANTI -SALOON LEAGUE CENTRAL COMMITTEE ORGANIZE. xne central executive corn- mittee for the prohibition cam paign in this county met Wed nesday night, Feb. 26, and ef fected a permanent organization by electing E. J. Coltrane, Chair man, Sethi W. Laughlin, Secre tary and J. D. Ross, Treasurer, At this meeting steps were taken to effect a strong county organi zation, and in this way reach out into the various- townships where similar organizations will be formed. A committee, con sisting of Seth W. Laughlin, J. O. Redding, C. A. Wood, T. M. Johnson and E. Moffitt, was ap pointed to look after this de partment of the work. It will I be the purpose of the committee to organize each township thoroughly by selecting a good committee and arrangei r.g plans for meetings. C. L. Holton, J. D. Ross, J. C. Reddincr. C. A. Wood, and T. M. Johnson constituted a committee to secure speakers for the campaign. Plans will be inaugurated to obtain two or more able speakers from the State organization to address the county association and also to place a number of speakers in each township. The subject of state prohibition will be discuss ed in various parts of the county so that every voter may have an opportunity to know what the prohibition means. As a committee on finances E. H. Morris, J. D. Ross, E. Momtt and Wiley Ward were appointed. PROHIBITION RESOLUTION j Adopted by The Member of The Ah- j boro Methodist Episcopal Church. At the morning service at the Asheboro Methodist Episcopal church, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: In view of the great damage that comes to the cause of Christ from the use of intoxicating liquors and the traffic in the same: And also in view of the effort that is now being made to abolish this traffic in North Caro lina in the interest of religion and morality: We the members of the Metho dist Episcopal Church, South, in Ashboro, in conference assembl ed, hereby declare that in har mony with the record of our church, we are opposed to the manufacture and sale of all in toxicants and the. use of them as a beverage; and pledge our selves to help in, every proper way to get State prohibition; and urge all our members,- as well as all others, having a": vote, to vote for the measure ndW;bef ore iis as a step in this direction. - NqUse to Die.
