For the Truth-Iodfx.
If I were asked the question
for if hat U Salisbury noted, I
should unhesitatingly say, for its
pretty women and muddy streets.
Of course there are ether institu
tions in Salisbury, but it seems
that, here, as in others parts of
the world, the spirits of good and
evil are about evenly matched. I
never I , see a woman
coming up the street without con
trasting what she is walking upon,
with what is walking upon
it. ; Then too, Salisbury is
noted for the men who think they
have the best lookipg women in?
the town.
- '
I believe I like Mr. John Hen
derson's bill for the protection of
the women. I am opposed to di
vorce, and in nine times" out of
ten. I believe the men are to
blame for domestic infelicity, and
a premium should be placed upon
conduct that leads tosuch results.
There are many flaws that may
be picked in this bill, but the
worst that can be said of the bill
is that on account of its forcing a
man to support his divorced wife,
women might encourages divorces
and earn an easy livelihood: This
would be a very valid obpetion,
but for the fact that it is a wild,
visionary theory' against a pretty
condition women don't do things
that way.

then the women are against you.
You could'nt ffo wroncr in that

never will take a drop of liquor,
But I'm surely worried as to how
I should vote.
I often tjiink when writing of
whiskey, what it is that causes its
use. It is certainly an unnatural

ministers assigns the Bible as the
cause of whiskey drinking. I
don t believe the Bible encourages
it, never saw it anyway.
I read Mr. H. S. Trott's on the
"Wright Bible bill." There were
I "
some things in it that were good
and well. I am sure however that
Mr. Trott's article cannot serve
any better purpose than to raise
a discussion that would neer end

he errs grievously in trying to

argument that he and his fellow
believers are not given recogni

be so. In this great State, there
are probably within a few Ihous-
