CAMPBELL J- A. CAMPBELL ZEB. B. BUCHANAN FT THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT HICKORY, N. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 16,1908. Gov. Glenn in Hickory. It is greatly to be regretted that some way could not have been devised by which all who wished to do so could have heard our Governor last Friday night. It was assuredly a thing to regret one's life long to miss that speech. Huffman's Music Hall was packed to suffocation, not a breath of air reached those near the stage and the Govern or's first words, as he rose to his feet were "My friends aintit hot?" He carried his audience with him from the beginning to the close of one of the finest temperance talks it has ever been the privilege of Catawba people to hear. Worn out though he was f rom his long open air speech to two thousand people at Star town, Gov. Glenn poured out the burning eloquence with which he denounced the curse of strong drink as though fresh from rest. Many things had been said of him, he told his au dience, among others that he had been a drinking man. Now though he had never been drunk in his life, he had in former times, taken a little wine for his stomach's sake and his often in firmities, though he was bound to say that, if every who now boasts of having "taken a drink with Bob Glenn" were telling tl\e truth, he must have been drinking with them in his cradle. Also he answerd the sneers of the gentlemen who are so anxious for him to stop in Ral eigh, and attend to his business by saying that if ever a Govern or of North Carolina were attend ing to what is, in the strictest sense, the duty of the first magistrate of a commonweal ti - lt is he when leading the fight against that which has been the greatest curse to the State from the time of her settlement. Turning his attention to the opponents of Prohibition, the Governor with an expression as though he had j ust swallowed a doso of castor oil, answered the objection that whiskey helps business. If it does, why in the world do railroads, factories, business men everywhere, re fuse to employ drinking men? iiVhy, even the whiskey dealers, the saloon keepers, refuse to have men employed who drink. If whiskey helps business, why is it that the money a sober man makes from the sale a bale of cotton goes to the grocery man, the dry goods merchant, the hardware man, .the furniture | store, while that which the drink [ ing man receives goes only into the drink-ruined stomachs of himself and his fellow sots. The picture drawn of the arrival of the two, each at his own home was pathetic and true to life. The Governor was particularly "good in his reply to the objection so often raised that "Prohibition doesn't prohibit." If this were to hold, what becomes of the Moral Law? It was delivered to Moses at Mt. Sinai, traced by the finger of God himself upon the tables of stone; but, from • J* that day to this, have men obey ed it? Have they not lied, stolen committed adultery, murdered their brethren? Aye, they, have but is that a reason why we should abrogate the law, should destroy our statute books, should burn our courthouses? Far from it, and yet this is the logi cal outcome of this fallacy. Much of the success of Prohibi tion rests with the people them selves, for they can force the of ficers of the law to do their duty, if they are not doing it. The Governor here related a most amusing incident Jn regard to his d inundation of a sheriff who was not looking after blind tigers as he should, the warning of his friends as to tha drubbing said sheriff would probably give him, his preparations for the attack, the sheriff's visit and avowal of his remissness, with their full harmony and the telegram later received from the officer — ' 'Caught two." followed next day by a second, "Caught two more" the same being blind tigers. That Prohibition does prohibit in Maine, notwithstanding asser tions to the contrary, the speaker conclusively proved by the ex pediences of two of the party with him on his visit to that State. He said they were the two very driest men he ever saw by the time they reached Massa chusetts. ~ ~ They - found every body so afraid of the officers who enforced the law that neith er for money nor begging, beg ged they never so wisely, could they anywhere in Maine get a drink of liquor, and not only so, but thev were reported for try ing to do so. A subject for thought was the per capita difference in the Pro hibition State and those still hold ing out for whiskey, in regard to wealth and particularly as to those owning their own home 0 , While in Kansas, the per cent of those owning homes is 47 in this State it is only 24. The figures in regard to crime and imprison ment speak for themselves, this it wa3 which, Governor Glenn says, induced him, on taking of fice to swear that if God would help him he would not only never take another drink of whiskey, either as a beverage or as medi cine, but would keep it just as far as he could from others. The old comparison of the whiskey mill, the only mill that does not make something better of the materials which pass through it was brought into the speech, with the awful pictures of the re sults of that grinding to those who are the victims of its fiery wheels. "Also the picture of the terrible serpent, obedient vassal of its master while controlled, his murderer the moment his control of it was gone. In lads peroration the Governor was very fine. Entreating the women of the State to use the great power which is theirs, he told of the prayers put up in home and church that have ruled the ballots of those men for whom wives, mothers, sisters, daughters prated. With women lies a strength in weakness against which the mightiest as saults of tne demon have fallen and shall fall again. Let each man swear that before he casts that ballot on the 26th of next May, he will solemnly appeal to his God toxlirect his choice and bless him in it. The result is then certain. No man could so mock his Creator as to beg for his blessing upon a vote cast for strong drink. s Governor Glenn warned the voteis most stjigly against thinking that the battle could be won without every effort of theirs being put forth to win. Our adversaries are under no mis take. They know just what they have to do and they are do iig it. Furthermore, if they win this battle, they will not stop there. They will look to it that the local option laws now prevailing will be set aside or made of no avail wherever it is possible. Let us watch for our enemies know neither sleep nor rest To those who had the privilege of hearing Gov. Glenn, it will ever be a cherished memory. If there was one person in the house who is not the better and the stronger for listening to that flood of eloquence, that person is stragely constituted. The three National sung by a selected choir was greatly enjoyed by all the people. Letter to J. F. Abernethy. Hickory, N.-C. Dear Sir: A bank messenger lost a small coin. He set his bag down and looked for it. Found it but somebody else had run off with his bag. A man who is going to pain thad det ter look out for his gallons. Devoe is the least-gallons paint. It's gallons that cost; it isn'a the price of a gallon. With one paint, 10 gallons is plenty; another, 11 or 12 or 13 and so on to 22 gollons; and every gallon hss to be paid for and painted —82 to $4 a day for painting paint stuffed out with some sort of whitewash. The less the price of a gallon, the more the gal lous. Bank messengers better look out for their bags and not stop to hunt for small coin; and property-owners better look ou for the gallons that make the ex pense, and not for the price which has nothing to do with it. Yours truly, 50 F. W. DEVOE & CO. P. S. —F. B. Ingold sells our paint. The only milliner in a small lowa town displayed a $l,OOO Easter hat in her shop window for ten days. No doubt she hoped in this way to reconcile the men folks in the town to the prcie their ivives pay for the hats she sells.

DEATH WAS ON HIS HEELS Jesse P. Morris of Skippers, 7a., had a close call in the spring of 1906. He says: "An attacts of pneumonia left me so weak and with such a fearful cough that my friends declared con sumption had me, and death 'was only my heels. Then I was persuaded to try Dr. King's New Discoveryr. It helbed me immadetly, and after taking two and a half bottles I was a well man again, I found out that New Discovery is the best remedy for coughs anb lung diseases in all the worlo."

Such, one day will be the the question asked of many of us. Not many years ere we will look in vain for one of those valiant hearts and true, who bore through shot and shell, through years of star vation, nakedness, heartbreak, "The bonny blue flag, that bore a single star." A little while, and those who loved them shall say: "The knights are dust And their good swords are dnst Their souls are with the Lord, we trust." Twill be a bitter thought, then friends if we must reflect: We might have honored them, we might have helped them bear their burdens of undying regret for the lost youth, the joyous days they gave to that un forgotten cause in which they al ways gloried "the cause, though lost, yet just," We might have done this—yet we did not, God forgive us." It is such a little while they shall be with us, can we not do what we may? And, when one rises up from among them, and asks for the votes of the old North State to put him in her chief magistrate's chair, shall« heaskinvain? Look upon him friends. Is he not the type of the Southern soldier? Does his lined face, with its white mus tache, its look of quiet waiting, not bear the stamp which was branded upon the face of every man who ever fought for the Land we love? Tis a look as of one who has seen things un speakable—things before which the souls of cowards, of men of common clay would have shrunk appalled. Who does not know it? And what have we ever done for him or aSy of our heroes. Upon their hi east the hands of their Daughters have pinned a little cross—symbol of valor un paralled in human history. To the poorest we give a very, very few dollars in pensions, to the physically disabled, a resting place in our soldier's Home, sucb as it is, until death relieves their suffering. We can do but little, for we are poor. But at least, you men of Carolina have your ballots, and they will show where vour hearts are the day you cast them for Ashley Home, the old Confederate, the man has won a competence by his own hard labor of hand and brain, who never gambled in futures, nor made a bet in his r Confidence when eating, that your food is of highest wholesomeness —that it has nothing in it that can injure or distress you makes the repast doubly comfortable and satisfactory. This supreme confidence you have when the food is raised with ROYAL lWvler Absolmfely Pare The only baking powder made with Royal Grape Cream of Tartar There can be no comforting confi dence when eating alum baking pow der food. Chemists say that more or less of the alum powder in unchanged alum or alum salts remains in the food* With him in the executive chair, North Carolina will have the hand of an honest man and a . Southern gentleman upon the reins of government. Brothers of the Camps, sons of veterans, I speak to you. A true Daughter of the Confeder acy. NOTICE!

U. Long has consented to become a can didate for the office of county treasurer of Catawba county/ subject to the action of the Demo- J cratic county convention. Mr. Long is an old soldier, a life long Democrat and a man of highest | character and in every way a , j most available man for this oiflee. Respectfully J. H. YOUNT. ■■ ' ' An lowa man has been fined $1 for violating a certain anti-trust law, and the fine was promptly paid. Perhaps we might collect a certain Standard Oil fine by try ing Mr. Rockefeller 29,240,000 times and fining him $1 at every separate trial. "If the Republican party of the United States is as game as it is in the Southern States, there will be two Republican national convention," says the Knoxville Sentinel. We rather think one jim crow convention would be more likely.
