Mayor of Murphy Gives Alderman a Hot
Number.
Ashevllle Dispatch to Bitltlmor Sum.
Members of the town council at
Murphy, N. C, have sent a petition
to Mayor A. S. Hill, asking . that he
resign for the "general good of the
town," charging him with being too
lenient in enforcing -the town s
ordinances "to impose the proper
respect for the town and for the au
thority of the mayor's court and its
officers."
Mayor Hill in his reply said:
"I would like to know who in these
United States vested you with au
thority to demand my resignation?
If I have not done the square thing

See its purity', now it glitters, as
fore. There have been more houses
built and people come nearer paying
for their goods as they get them

more people are to be trusted today
than ever in the history of the town.
This is from a business standpoint as

building community, and I mention
this because this was the great point
that the enemies of prohibition made
in the campaign. No man 2 would
dare mention that in this community
today because he would be consider

such thing as that. Another thing
was we wouldhave whole stteet

all move away from here, but such
has not been the case. The town
has steadily increased from that time
until the present, and ever since the
panic struck us people have contin

forced or not. One of the leading
papers which opposed prohibition on
the grounds that it did not believe
it could be enforced now comes out
in an editorial that it has been rigor
ously enforced. j
Again, they had an excuse that
every bouse in town would be a bar
room and that all the drinking you
could imagine and five times as much
drinking would be done under pro
hibitory laws as under open bar
rooms, but that has been exploded
also. I suppose there are men in
Greensboro who drink liquor today,
and will be up until the time that
Gabriel blows his trumpet. There
is no accounting for men's foolish
ness and for their wickedness. There
will be men who will drink liquor if
they have to barter the life and soul
of their own children; in fact, their
own souls, as long as this condition
prevails. It is not to be wondered
at that you can not break up this,
but I unhesitatingly affirm that pro
hibition is better enforced to-day
than the laws against larceny, either
petty or grand : better enforced than
many of the social evils ; better en
forced than the law against gamb
ling, and as well enforced as it is
it a mass of liquid gems! The Eter- against horse stealing. The fact of

it so we have no fears of its getting
its hold upon this community again.
As a lover of my State, of my peo
ple, and as a humanitarian I have no
hesitancy, yea, I urge every com
munity on the earth to agitate and
work for prohibitory laws until this
traffic is banished to the position of
any other crime of which men may
be guilty. . , '
Yours very truly,
Chas. H. Ireland.
DontWant to Be BotbcrrfJ With Re
ligion. After the Bishop had read the ap
pointments for the ensuing year at
the clos of a Conference, one of the
preachers aaked the brother he was
to succeed, to give him such facts as
would enable him to do the best
work in ; his new charge. The an
swer was: "I can tell it all in a word,
you will get on all right at if you
don't bother thow people too much
with religion." That is it. Too many
churches do not want to be bothered
religion. When they are vacant, the
preacher they want is one they think
will not bother them in this way.
And there are preachers who will
not bother their churches with re
ligion if they think such a course is
not popular with it. Salvation in its
taught in the
ace in their
preaching. Of course. For if Sal
vation is emphasized, sin must be,
for salvation is from sin. Sin ex
pounded in its fullness is not agree
able to their hearers. The wages of
it lis death. Its ways are hard in
this world and dreadful in the next.
Therefore, there are substitutes and
the saying of smooth things. By
the law i is the knowledge of sin.
therefore, the law is omitted from
pulpit ministrators. The result of
sucn ministry must prove to be a
dreadful: decline in spiritual power.
A jack of consecration and godly liv
ing will at an early day be apparent.
Paying Taxes With Boys.
i ?ome people never can see any
thing but the dollar argument in
everything presented. Their first
thought always is. Will it pay in dol
lars and cents? We belive that , the
prohibition of the liquor traffic would
greatly ; reduce taxes by reducing
court and pauper- expenses. But
evfn if it could be proved that pro
hibition; does increase your taxes,
ar you not willing to pav something
to protect .your boys? It increases
your taxes to maintain a police de
partment and a hre department to
protect your homes, but you do not
object to this increase of taxes.
Why, then, should you object to a
small increase of taxes. If necessary,
to protect the boys who live in these
homes? j If you vote for license in
order to get the saloon's revenue to
reduce your taxes, then you should
be willing for your boy to patronize
the saloon, for the saloons cannot
run without boys any more than a
saw mill can run without loss. If
to get the saloon's revenue, you vote
for license, will you contribute a boy
to keep them running? Would you
rather jpay vour taxes with vour
money or with your boy? Which?

"One Touch of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kin."
When a.rooeter finds a big rat worm
he calls all the hens In the farm yard to
come and share it. A similar trait of
ha man nature is to be observed when
man discovers something exceptionally
good he wants all his friends and
neighbors to share the benefits of his
discovery. Thia ia the touch of nature
that makes the whole world kin. Tnis
explains why people who have been
cured by Chamberlain's Oongh Remedy
write letters to the man of a-tareri for
publication, tb at other similarly ailing
may also ate it and obtain relief. Be
hind every one of these letters is a warm

! It seems now to be an open secret
that the liquor power is making a
desperate effort to carry the State
against prohibition by buying up the
small newspapers. We -are glad to
believe that even this will prove a
dismal failure; but when a small
country paper begins to howl about
the liberties of the people being tak
en away from them it is pretty good
evidence that the medicine is having
its desired effect.
We are glad to know, that- as a
rule, the newspapers of the State
are taking a manly position in favor
of closing the saloons and this means
much! for the success of our cause.
The good people of the country
ought not to neglect to stand by
these papers that are bravely fight
ing for the right. Moreover, we do
not; see that they are under any ob
ligation to stand by those who either
oppose the cause or fail to help it
forward. Let those who espouse the
cause of liquor get their patronage
from the liquor men.
