C. schoolroom takes the child and trains him to a useful life. The barroom takes the boy and trains him to a ife of wrong-doing. The school room mis the borne with bright, happy boys and girls. The barroom fills it with ignorant, aimless, lawless inmates. The school-house fills the pulpit with educated, eloquent min isters of the Gospel and the pews with Godly men and women. The still-house fills the jails and the peni tentiaries with criminals and mur derers. The schoolroom sends men to the Legislature, to the bench and the executive office. The barroom sends them to the scaffold and to hell. The schoolroom gives to the community an intelligent, thrifty, enterprising, refined manhood and womanhood. The barroom gives to it a thriftless, lawless, ignorant, worthless citizenship. The school room carries light and knowledge into the home and the community, The barroom carries darkness and sorrow and death into the home and the community. The schoolroom 4 leads to higher and better things The barroom leads to lower and baser things. The schoolroom stands -for the good, the barroom for the bad. The people that multiply and re plenish the schoolrooms and destroy the barrooms are building for their posterity a future that will grow brighter and greater as they con tinue to multiply and replenish the schoolroom and utterly destroy the last trail of the barroom. The peo ple of North Carolina v have made wonderful strides in the last few years in multiplying the schoolrooms and in destroying the barrooms, but the final conflict is just before them. On the 26th of May,! 1908. the final battle is to be fought. Shall the schoolroom or the barroom triumph? On that day every citizen must stand with the schoolroom tor the barroom. He must stand for the work of the schoolroom or the work of the tar room. There is no middle'' ground The election is to be a State elec tion and the issue involved appeals to every citizen in every . section. The cry from the ! friends of the schoolroom, from those who would give to the State a strong, great, noble citizenship is for protection from the eurse of drunkeness. . This cry should be heard and answered by every lover of his fellow men. no matter where his home may be. While North Carolina- is divided into counties and towns and town ships, yet these all make the State The good of every section should be the aim of every citizen. Is the pea pie in any county, city or town have rid themselves of the curse of the whiskey, traffic . and have found peace and profit in it they should be at the ballot box on the day of elec tion and vote to confer a similiar blessing upon their fellow citizens in every other section.' The time was when the different sections of the State were separated from each other by long distance and time. Togo from one extreme to the other was a long, tiresome jour-. ney, and but few attempted it Now it is easy ana enjoyable, and the men of the east and the men o the west often meet and shake hands. The time was when it took a long time to get the news from Cur ntuck to Cherokee, from Wilming ton to Asheville. Now the citizens of these remote communities can converse with each other as if they lived side by side of each other. The railroad, the telegraph and the tele phone nave annihilated space and time, and made us one people in al our aspirations, plans and purposes to become a great people and a great State. The people of one county cannot be indifferent to the welfare of the people in another county, Hence, I can confidently; appeal to the friends of the schoolroom and the enemies of the barroom in every section of the State to be at the bal lot box on the 26th day of May, and vote "against the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors" m North Carolina. I use the term barroom to represent every means for the sale and traffic in liquor and I earn estly appeal to the people to put an end to this traffic, no mater under what name or guise it may be ear ned on. . " " ! A favorite argument with those who want to stand with the bar room, but who try to give some ex cuse for doing so, is that prohibition does not prohibit. Oh, they say, if prohibition really prohibited they would vote fcr it. This argument is not sincere. Those who use it do so because they are ashamed to stand for the barroom with all its horrors and evils without some cloak to hide behind. If ; they are sincere why do they not say the same thing about other prohibition laws? We have had a law against stealing which has been on our statute books for ages. and yet some men steal. Oar stat utes are full of prohibition laws, which are violated by some one al most every day. Do we hear those men say these do not prohibit, and therefore let them be repealed? May, verily, it is only when it is proposed to prohibit by law some thing of the wreck and ruin pro duced by the sale of whiskey that we hear the cry that prohibition does not prohibit. I now propose, very briefly, to show that prohibition does prohibit not absolutely, but largely and beneficially. In the first place, I re mark that no human ; law is perfect in its construction or execution. We have to take all law with its human imitations, but the law which pro tribits the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor can be made as efficient as any other law if the peo ple so will it. In the next place. remark that we are ail more or less creatures of habit. If we have the habit of goingto bed at nine o'clock. when nine o'clock comes a sleepy feeling creeps upon us. If we get in the habit of getting up at six o clock when six o'clock comes we become wakeful. If twelve o'clock be our dinner hour, when noon comes hun ger comes with it. Men even con tract the dirty, filthy habit of chew mg tobacco, and when the h&bit gets good Jiold upon them they are never satisfied except when they have a wad of the stuff in their mouth. ' So with drinking, It is largely a habit, j The man who has the habit wants his drink at the usual hour. The man who is free from - the , habit does not want it. Now anything that tends to get men out of the habit is helpful. As jrou make it. more and more difficult to get liquor you more and more get men out of the habit of using it. If men can't get it they can't use it. and if they get out of the habit of using it they , soon cease to want it. And I submit that prohibition makes' it difficult, if not impossible, for that very class of men to get whiskey, who can ill afford to waste their hard earnings and scanty means in something that can do them no good After all, the effectiveness of prohi bition, like all other prohibitory laws, depends upon the local author ities. If we, have sheriffs and con stables and police and magistrates who are in sympathy with blind tig ers, the blind tigers will flourish. If these officers are at enmity with the. blind tigers and in full sympathy with a rigid enforcement of the law, the blind tiger will ; soon seek other fields for his devilish operations. Hence the necessity for a great big majority for prohibition. Let us make it so large that the officers of the law will know that the people are in earnest and that they meant to see the law enforced. Let us make it so big that the wretch who would engage in the illicit manufac ture or sale of liquor will know that there is no hiding place for him in North Carolina, and that, if he would engage in this wicked business, he must go beyond her borders. DEMONSTRATION f ARM WORK. The Advice of Dr. 1 A Kaapp Set as Havtffz Wright Charlotte Observer. Dr. S. A. Knapp, btates Department forth oi of the United Agriculture. the passing or Tnr scoid. is one ok toe mgnest autnonties on agriculture. He is a farmer him self, has studied and taught it through this country and has spent a cumber of years studying it in for eign countries. . Anything from him. therefore, is worthy of careful no tice. ... i .. I : He contends that there is no need for the widespread deterioration of farm lands and the general poverty of the masses on the farm. Our very civilization depends upon the uplifting of the general farmer. No civilization can be made higher than the earning capacity of the people to support Our work, therefore, is to reach the average farmer and to in duce him to change his practices to such as will increase his earning capacity. j In the (days of Moses the "Law and the Prophets" bad to be boiled down to ten simple commandments. or rules, so that the great masses of the people could easily understand them. A full course m theology, therefore, was contained in ten simple precepts. Just so, the great bulk of agricultural information got out by the United States Depart ment and various State institutions of agriculture, must be boiled down to a few general pr maples which are easily understood and put into practice by the average s farmer. M 1 1 t inese may De summed up snout as follows: I '? Better preparation of the soil. Rotation of crops. J ; s Best varieties of seed to Dlant. Better use of home-made and com mercial fertilizers. j I More intelligent cultivation. He must use better teams and better implements so that he can do more work in a day. He must keep some account of his farm j work so that he can profit by his mistakes. ine next proDiem is now to pres ent these principles so that he will take hold of and apply them.

The hour has come, let us hope and pray, when public senti ment will no longer tolerate the methods and manners of the pro fessional evangelist Twenty years ago, the man who could get up a religious revival that would stir a whole community had his fortune in his hands; and many of them made good use of the opportunity. Peo ple went to the service expecting to be abuned, and they were generally not disappointed. Preachers came in for a full share of criticism and sat back and smiled at the intellect ual brickbats, wrapped in wrettned grammar, that beetled about their devoted heads; and when the storm was over, and the great preacher, wfth his pockets puffed with green backs, was gone, there settled upon the community that pall of gloom which well nigh paralyzed the relig ious life of the people. They tell us that in Wales they have turned oat of the churches as many people as were received in that wonderful "revival" we heard so much about We need a revival, but we need it in the God-appointed and not man- appointed way. We have much more confidence in the genuineness of a revival where there are 30 pro fessions than where are 300. Was it not Spurgeon who, answering ' the drunk man who remarked. TYou only really successful way seems to converted me," wittily said,; "Yes it be by demonstration. In other looks like imy work."
