Mr. Beal was a man of promi nence and influence in his com munity and the esteem in which he was held by his neighbors was evidenced by the large concourse of people which attended the bur ial. Mr. Beal was born Oct. 31st, 1838 and was in his 70th year at the time of his death. He was a member of the Baptist church, and had been an enthusiastic Mason for many years, being a member of Lincoln Lodge No. 137 A. F. & A M.

The commencement of the Crouse High School will take place on Friday, May . 22nd. The pro gramme is as follows: 10 a. m. Sermon ....by Kev. H. M. Hoyle 2 p. m. Acdress... by Hon. Clyde K. Hoey 4 p. m. Recitations. 8 p. m. Exercises..... .i.....by the School The public is cordially invited to attend, i ' , Rally At Bethpage A Splendid Success. (Received too late for Tuesday's issue) About 10.30 o'clock a. m. the audience was called to order by Chairman of Precinct Committee and Rev. Dr. R. A.- Yoder led the invocation prayer. Dr. Yoder was then introduced to the audience as first speaker on the programme. After a brief but thorough refutation of a pamphlet circulated by the liquor forces of the State, in which it is alleged that the Evangelical Lutheran Church is opposed to Prohibition, Dr. Yoder delivered a thrilling ad dress, showing both soul and bodi ly injuries done by the evil of in temperance. His quotations from the Holy scriptures as well as his quotations from profane history, both ancient and modern, were so convincing ao to carry convictions to all present Mr. L. E. Rudisill, in a short but thrilling speech, introduced the second speaker on the pro gramme, Rev. E. K. McLarty, of Salisbury,N.C. Rev. McLarty held the audience spell-bound for near ly two hours in an address showing the scientific and practical injuries done by the demon alcohol as to the impairment of bodily forces, the dethronement of reason, and the destrfiction of the immortal soul. A collection amounting to $7.40 was taken to help defray the ex penses of the campaign. - At this stage a recess of one hour was taken for dinner. The ladies spread their table-cloths upon the grass in the church yard and placed a bountiful dinner there upon. It was well that no table had been prepared, for under groaniugs it would hardly have been able to hold up, while "Terra Firma" almost groaned beneath, Rev. S. W. Bennett, of Lincoln ton, invoked blessings upon the dinupr. Ac the ringing of the bell, the congregation again assembled for the evening programme. The Precinct Chairman intro duced Mr. R. L. Sigmon, secretary of Anti-saloon League of Lincoln, who in a short but well worded speech introduced the third speak er for the day, the Hon. J. M. Rhodes, President of the Temper ance Forces of the county. Mr. Rhodes while admitting that he had compiled largely from-recent publications, in the production of his address, set forth some of the most convincing arguments of the day. Mr. Rhodes, as is generally known, is one of the pioneers of prohibition in Piedmont, N. C, His appeals in behalf of humanity, in the overthrow of the liquor traffic of our beloved State, were very touching. We feel sure that the influence of that address will live after him. The Chairman then introduced Rev, S. W, Bennett, of Lincolnton, who was last but not least of the speakers on the programme. Mr, Bennett is a thrilling speaker and touched the emotional in man more deeplv than any of the day. He closed with a pretty metaphor, "A snow storm on the 26th of May," in which the liquor forces of the State will be completely snowed under . by the white flakes of the voters' ballot . At the request of the Chairman; Mr. C. R. Hudson, State Agent of the Department of Agriculture, made a few remarks. Mr. Hud son, during his remarks, very fit tingly said something like this: "The man who listened to what had been said during the day ' and did not go to the polls on the 26th of May and vote for prohibition, was lacking in the nobler elements of mankind." " '; -. . ' Rev. Mr. .Bennett then pro nounced the benediction, j May God multiply the number of men like the speakers of the day, and bless every individual present at the Rally is the prayer of .' R. B. S. Her hand this man could not get, ' ' His health' was not as it should be, Me had not used the est as yet," Hollister'g Rocky Mountain Tea. K. L. Lawing. The Newspaper Man. I The following by Gerald Stanley Lee in the February Atlantic is one of the truest, most pathetic, I most accurate descriptions of the average newspaper man we" have ever read. There is nothing to be j added to it: In every city of the land the newspaper man is an outcast. He knows more people to be a stranger j to than any other being in the world. He has no holidays. His Christmas is the record of other men's joys. His Thanksgiving is a restaurant. Even the Fourth of July and Sunday, servants of the commonest man, refuse him their cheer. The Fourth of July is the day he must be in every place at once, because everythiug is hap-i pening; and Sunday is the day he must make things up, because nothing is happening. His labors are our pleasures. He gets his va cation by doing another man's work and earns his living by watching other people live. The very days and the nights turn their natural backs upon him. The lamp is his sun by night, and the curtain is his night by day, j and he eats his supper iu the morning. His business is the re flection of life. He is the spirit behind the mirror. What is left to us is right to him, and right is left; sometimes right side up is upside down. The world is all awry to the newspaper man. It whirls across the hours in columns, now in one edition and now in an other, but it heeds him never in return. He is a spectator. The show passes before his face a shut-out uusharing face. He lives, as the years go on, a notebook un der the stars, and when the note book is scribbled out he dies. ... Men who might be immortal, morning after morning, week after week, year after year, fighting to be allowed to live in the current of a day, reaching in vain for some thing that lasts longer than a day to hold to, only to go under like all a few bubbles a two-inch obituary at the bottom of a column, by the man who is going under next, and the story is told. The man who can furnish quantity and quality at once, who can thrive on the impossible, who can swim in whirlpool instead of being carried with it, is a man who sums up in himself not only the definition of what the problem is, in literature, today, but the answer to the problem. Mrs. Rice In Charlotte. Mrs. Marguerite Isabelle Rice, sailing . uuder the name of 'New York City's famous Broadway evangelist, "' addressed a fair-sized audience in front of the Central Hotel last Light on the question of prohibition, taking a very decided stand-in favor of- open saloons. She spoke for about one hour and a half, supplementing her state ments with numerous illustrating incidents which she said had come under her observation. She re buked the preachers and politi cians whom she indicted as being banded together in this cause to rob the people of their : freedom and to fasten upon the people of this State a system which would ruin young men and make hypo crites of old men more rapidly than any other method of manag mg the sale of whiskey. She was heartily applauded at times for some 1 of her sarcastic ; sayings, among them being a scathing de nunciation of Governor Glenn, who, she declared, had only re formed from drinking three years ago.
