For wine can only be sold at the place of manufacture in quantities of two and one-half gal lons or more and not shipped any where in the state, j It will stop the sale of all those chemical mixtures by whatever name known that will produce intox ication. v . j " It will place under the most strin gent and binding regulations phar macists and physicians, who may handle intoxicating liquors for medi cal purposes only. It will allow the officials of any county or town to regulate or pro hibit the sale of intoxicating liquors by pharmacists in the drug stores. WHAT IT WILL NOT DO. It will not prohibit the farmer from making cider from fruits grown on his own land, and selling the same at home or in his market town. : It will hot stop the manufacturer from making his own wine and ship ping it outside of the State. It will not stop the sale of those medical preparations and essences that may have alcohol in them j to preserve them or to hold the medical agents in solution, such as camphor, vanilla, etc? . I It will not repeal existing prohibi tion laws. . j It will not prohibit the sale of wine to ministers or church officials for sacramental purposes. I If this law f ail3 to be ratified by the people at the polls on May 26th, 1908, it will not affect the present status of any existing, prohibition law in the State. 1 In other words, the dry territory will not be changed. I We are sure when you have studied this law you will azree with us that it is fair. j Under this law, Greensboro's vot ing 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 so until the locality as such votes wet, while Sal isbury has voted the otherway. This vote on "the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors" in North Carolina is quite a different thing from local option, i I Again, this law is! right. For, the influence of liquor is never local. Salisbury or Wilmington citizens, while controlling the sale of the traf fic, do not control the dangerous and damaging influence of this traffic. This influence is felt for hundreds of miles around. Every citizen in the State has a right to self-protection asrainst 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. IN WAGES. sup. a m . a A. ft. port, is viewed wun distrust oy many thoughtful men in all political parties. Mr. Aldrich appears to think that his party (in tew of the panic) must not enter the campaign without the appearance of having tried to do something to remedy the defects in our financial structure hence this hastily prepared "emer gency bill" providing in brief for "an emergency bank note currency based on State, municipal and rail way bonds, limited in 'fzrt-ta, amount to half a billion dollars and taxed at the rate of 6 per cent" The most Dunorent criticism ; of the bill that we have seen is that of the Charlotte Observer: "Ita -tendency to create emergencies would outweigh its possible use fulness in relieving them." if Wall street gamblers understand that they may take risks and bring about panic conditions with the assurance of government help when they go too far. they will be ten times more reckless than ever before. Let your boy skate on the, ice. drone and he will be reasonably prudent; put a life saving force on the banks to res cue him, and he will venture on such thin ice as to imperil his own safety and that of his benevolent rescuers as well. ! Unless something better than the Aldrich bill can be envolved, there fore, the Republican Jparty would do well to let currency legislation alone at this session. The situation reminds U3 of John Sharp William's famous cow. A few years ago one of his negro, tenants wrote to jhim in Washington reporting the serious illness of favorite milker and ask ing for advice. John Sharp went to the Department of Agriculture, de tailed the symptoms, and returned with a medical fluid, fearfully and wonderfully concocted, which he sent to his tenant. Going home next week he asked if the cow had recovered from the disease, only to get the reply: "Dat ar cow got well o' de disease but died . o' de remedy." And again we quote the Observer's criticism: "The Aldrich bill would not only proteet stock market boomers Dy supplying them with a flood of monev at need, but it would also help by forcing heavy purchases of the securities boomed by them. Furthermore, this money, although plentiful, would be expensive, and speculative interests, being able to stand for higher rates for short-time use than legitimate business, woajd get the bulk of it. The Aldrich measure, in short, is a pro-speculation measure from first to last, cod dling speculation and further cen tralizing an already over-centralized control of the country's currency." REDUCTIONS From several mile we get report of a alight reduction in wages and tome tew milk which had reduced the working time to, ten hour per day have gone beck to eleven hour, without a corresponding increase in wages. Of course the reason assign ed for so doing because of the un favorable condition of the market; and it is considered better to do this than to shut down the mills and throw the people out ofwork for the whole or a part of the time. This argument appears very reas onable, and where the salaries of overseers, superintendents and offi cers are reduced in the same, propor tion to those oi the operatives in the se veral departments there will prob ably be little if any complaint, but it is a question whether the mills which do this will not a little later in the season .find themselves very short of help. , There are not many mill operatives who are so firmly anchored at any mills that they will stay there when other mills near them are running on shorter time or paying better wages. Besides this, there are thous ands of acres of land in the South on which they could easily find oppor tunity to raise a crop and the talk of nigh priced cotton and lower wages in the mills just at this time of the year, will surely carry a many of them back to the farm. We are not advising any one to leave the mill for the uncertainty of making a crop on rented land, but if there seems to be a prospect of any general reduction in wages there will be enough that will go to the . farms so that when all the mills are ready to start up again on full time the is likely to be more scarcity of help than ever and those who stay will reap the benefit in steady work at good wages.

' '"if A special from Oxford tells of an old negro whose curius life is ob served by those who choose to ride to his place o abode four miles west of Oxford, on the' Durham road. The negro is aged in appearance. He built a wigwam of rough piauks, covered with broomstraw, tied iri a bunch on the pointed top, has no window, a small opening for a -door; no stove or fireplace, only a flue j in one side, under which he builds a very small fire of small sticks, j in which he cooks his food, lhere is no floor except the bare ground: no bed, just a few old rags on which the negro sleeps. People who rode to the wigwam last bunday found the old man there perfectly, content ed, with a large pone of bread Jfor his dinner. He was barefooted and thinly clad, a pair of shoes was out side the wigwam. He refuses to go to the county home and.does not beg, ; though is seemingly grateful for help. He is wedded to the rude wigwam in which he has lived near ly ten years, and will walk as far as ten miles to reach the place to sleep there. He makes mats and rude chairs which bring him a little. , He Saw Grasshopper Pie. Baltimore Sun. In an interesting talk last night at the union missionary rally of the Baltimore and East Baltimore dis tricts of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. Homer C. Stuntz told of the moral and temporal progress of the Filipinos since the United States annexed the islands. The meeting was held in Mount Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal Church. "In the first year of the American invasion," he said, ' "288 statutes were .framed for the uplifting of the people, and many others have followed. Through the efficiency of the Health Board most of the dread diseases have been stamped out. The men have been ! separated from the women m the prisons and many other forms introduced with great results." j ; . The speaker also told of the many novel sights he had I witnessed, and said that he had heard "There Will Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" played as a funeral march and had seen grasshopper pie at a banquet. 1 Woman Drove Tack Into Child's Tongue. Pleading guilty to the charge of driving a carpet teck through the tongue of Sampson Follower, seven years old, an inmate of the Tusca rows county children's v home, at Canal Dover, 6., Miss Clara Sterling, assistant matron, was fined $10 and the costs by Mayor Defenbacher on the 19th. Although this action was taken Saturday the punishment of the child, in what is said to have been an admitted attempt to wring trora him a confession of the theft of a fellow-inmate's lead pencil, became known only Tuesday. ? ' "Cards of Thanks." SpartanDurg Journal. The Abbeville Press and Banner makes a sensible observation regard ing the printing in newspapers of "Cards of Thanks" to friends and neighbors for kindness and attentions during fatal illness, which is practic- . . . . i ed to an extent in some joctuuusa. The Press and Banner says that this custom is not followed in Abbeville because such attention and kind treatment in cases of sickness is so universal and invariable among the people of Abbeville that no news- paper puDi'.cation is necessary to make acknowledgment of it. A Strange Sight in Greensboro. StatesfUle Landmark. " ' 1 he Telegram tells of an exciting street scene in Greensboro the other day. A great crowd gathered and that paper says the interest mani fested was "was of an unusual char ter" and indicated "extraordinary happenings of some kind." The "extraordinary happenings" that so excited Greensboro was the pres ence of two wagons with four bales of cotton each. This was something new for Greensboro and people from cotton localities flocked to the scene and carressed the cotton as if they had met a long-lost friend, while others to whom cotton is a stranger stared with interested curiosity To add to the interest had been rais ed in Guilford county and the of fering of it for sale from wagons in Greensboro was so unusual that . the leiegram gave tnree-rourths or a column to an account. It seems strange to us in Irdell, for instance, farther west thon Greensboro, that cotton should not be raised in that a. vicinity, Dut wnne mucn cotton is manufactured in that section little is grown. -- - . Robbers had Unique feast. Robbers enjoyed a feast of fried snake eggs in the barn of Henry Burkens at Rising Sun, Md., one night last week. The night previous thieves emptied his feed-boxes, and desiring to punish the suspected in traders, Barkens spread an invita tion broadcast that, if they would return that night he would not only provide food for their stock but in elude a supper for themselves. In sawing down an old tree early in the wees, uurkens sound nine snake eggs and packed them away in cotton, intending to present them to the Philadelphia Zoological Gar den. Before retiring last night he partly filled the feed box, and, frying the snake eggs, made them into sandwiches which he wrapped in, a napkin and placed on top of the feed in the morning the xeedhox was empty and crusts of bread on the floor showed the lunch had been eaten. stumped the county of Rowan for prohibition when he and his friend knew that his advocacy of the : prin ciple would not increase his political fortunes. W e are informed and be lieve that he is the tame consistent prohibitionist today that he was S5 years and more ago. He did not wait for prohibition to iecome .a popular political issue, but went forth to battle under the white flag of the temperance forces because he believed in the righteousness of the principle involved. . By virtue of his position as a mem be r of the Senate judiciary-1 com mittee. Senator Overman has a far greater opportunity to advocate the cause of real temperance than the mere casting of A vote or the making of a few speeches in North Carolina would give him. Any temperance measure that may come before Con gress must be ratified and approved by Senator Overman s committee before it can be pa&ied upon and become a law. Senator Overman favors the enactment of an anti-jug law that will prohibit the transpor tation of whiskey from a wet to a f "dry" State and all men -know that this is the only way to make prohibition effective. It is true that Senator Overman has not been conspicuous in urging prohibition upon other communities while his town remained "wet" but we observe that, when a prohibition campaign was inaugurated in Salis bury a short t) me ago, he was one of the first men invited by the pro hibition managers to make a speech and we observe also that the in vitation was accepted. Events that have transpired since indicate that the Legislature will save the Salis bury people the trouble of voting their town "dry," but this does not alter the fact that no public man in North Carolina has a more well de fined temperance record wiin U, and otwrquioualy call it rnr dear friend.

Grover Welch, brother of Steve Welch, who, with another mani was killed during a row m-a barber shop in Kershaw last Christmas shot to death Berry Mobley to-night on the train from Camden to Hock i Hill, just as it was reaching Pleasant Hill. a ; station nearly midway between Camden and lAncaster. It was the first time that Mobley had been able to be out, he having been badly wounded by Steve Welch at the time the huer was killed by Mobley. Both men were on their way to Lancaster for a preliminary hearing of the Kershaw tragedy. Without warning Welch Bhot Mob ley in the back and as he fell be tween the seats four more bullets were fired into his body, death re sulting instantly. It was a cold blooded and cowardly murder and was evidently .in revenge of -the killing of Steve Welch by Mobley. ConductorBoxtell, who was in charge of the train, turned the dead body of the murdered man over to the coroner at Pleasant Hill, . While Welch voluntary came on to Lan caster and gave himself up to the authorities. i r Bad blood has existed between Welch and Mobley since the shooting Christmas and this is the first! time that Welch had seen Mobley, and he took advantage of his first oppor tunity, when Mobley had his i back turned, to avenge the death of his brother. -- '" ' Kindly bear in mind that the Post- orhce Department will not allow us to mail our papers to any subscriber who is m arrears nine months or more, and of course when Uncle Sam issues his orders there is nothing for us to do but obey. i hard working clerks.

On the plea that Edward Turner,' condemned wife murderer, had been reared in a Godless community, 75 citizens of Breathitt county, Ken tucky, have sent letters and petitions to Governor f atterson.of Tennessee, asked for a commutation of the death sentence. Turner, who lived in Breathitt county, is sentenced to be hanged February 27. The plea of the petitioners is that he never had any opportunity to know right from wrong; that his pasents died when he was very young; that the wickedness of bis wife unbalanced his mind, and that he killed her not because he hated her but because he loved her. ; Doesn't it look-reasonable that if the substitutes for cotton are wqrth 68 cents a pound, cotton ought td be higher than 15 cents? The state ment that 15 cents looks big to the cotton growers because they have been taking five cents, expresses it about right. Let's think a little more about what a bale of cotton is worth. A $40 bale of cotton manu factured into. plow lines just com mon rope-isjworth$120. It'sworth $140 made into common sheeting, $400 a bale if made into bleached do mestic $800 a bale made into lawn and on up to $1,800 a bale made into mercerized silk, lsn t it about time to complete a system of warehouses and; selling agencies to market our cotton crop intelligently and get what it is worth ?
