I attribute the present Prohibition wave that is sweeping through the South to the pernicious activity of the saloons in ; politics. An every State in the South , the saloon has demonstrated that it will rule the people "f let alone, and the general desire to abolish the saloon resulted. We have prohibition in all but four towns in Tennessee, and I think it but a question of time when the en tire State will abolish the saloon." Tetter Salt Rheum and Eczema.

' NEWS NOTES. Mr. Claude Finch was taken vi olently ill a few nights ago with an attack of acute indigestion and for some time his condition was consid ered quite serious. Dr. W. P.

There is no Episco pal church in this place, however, there are quite a number of mem bers of that faith in our town mere is some talk or erecting a church at this place aom time in tbe future,. When the lights were suddenly shut off on the night of the recent fire, thereby throwing the town in utter darkness, some of our people sustained injuries by colliding into each other and.stumbling over box es etc. Among those who were "done up" were Messrs. G. W. Joy ner, Dr. Wm. Edwards, Willie Pierce, A. B. Russell and others. None of the injuries sustained, however, were serious. ,."... ; . First Monday in Nashville seemed to be an interesting day. Several of our townspeople and leading citizens around this place were visitors in that town on that day, among whom we note Messrs. C. C. Pieece, A. F. May, T. CMay, J. T.vFulford, B. D. Creekmore, C. T. Sanders, Dan iel Cone, Rev. B. E. Stan field, Joe. Strickland, A. R, Griffin, G. W. Joyner, B.' E.

Russell, the efficient op erator here, has received notice that he will be sent to Battleboro at once to take charge of the railroad and telegraph office at that place. .We learn that the position at Battleboro will pay Mr. Russell more than , he receives' at this place.

Wood Alcohol In WhisHey. A recent death in this city "calls to mind two other deaths from a similar cause -the drinking of whfr key which has been adulterated with the deadly poison, wood alcohol. A citizen of a town, some little dis tance" south of here, died last night from the effects of wood . alcohol drinking, and a year ago a white man fronTManch ester died in his cart in Fayetteville from the same cause. The Dhvsician who attended this latest victim, and deceased's broth er told an Observer reporter to-day ithat it was a well known fact that much of the so-called corn whiskey, which is adulterated with wood alco hol which can be purchased at a price cheaper than the cheapest corn whiskey. This Is indeed a fearful revelation. Is there not someway to preveht this awful crime? Fay etteville Observer. ' v 'MaiiZan Pile Remedy , Price 50c guaranteed Putt up ready for use.

That the dispute between China and Japan over the recent steamship seizure by China has assumed a critical stage is indi cated by the announcement today that the viceroy of Canton has re signed. China is determined not to accede to the Japanese demands and Japan will probably attempt to make her do so. The government is urged by the newspapers not to accept any compromise whatever. The en croachments by Japan on Chinese rights have on the other hand, stirred the Chinese government to deep an ger and resentment, and. there is plenty of war talk. - ' New York, March 6. While a fire raged on the fourth floor of the five- story public school building, 109th street, between Amsterdam avenue and Broadway today, 2,000 pupils marched from the building singing "America" under the leadership of their teachers. The children were engaged in their morning singing exercises, when the fire gong rang, and they continued to sing as they marched out of the building. There was no sign of a panic and a few minutes after the first alarm was sounded all the children were as sembled in the school yard waiting for the word of dismissal. Ludicrous Reasoning. It makes a mule laugh . to hear some people give a reason for not favoring the State prohibition bill to be voted on May 26th. One is that a farmer is deprived of the rightful use of the products of his orchard, viz: to make and sell cider and bran dy. As a matter of fact, the law, if it becomes operative gives the very largest privileges to cider makers, that i3 tie manufacturer can sell it in any quantity and anywhere. Read the bill and see for your poor little prejudiced and ' bias self.' About brandy, who of you has got a still and if - you are likely . to suffer so much harm, wh yhave you cut down and destroyed mostpf your orchards years ago and sworn t the whole public that because of taxes, etc. it was no longer profitable or worth the time and money to manufacture it. There are here and there a very few brandy stills. We venture to say that not ten men' in Nash county will be adversely "affected by , their removal. Does it appeal to a fair minded man that in order to remove from our county -an influence that either directly or indirectly is Inju riously affecting every human being in it we ought to preserve a few old brandy stills that the owners them selves have been declaring to us all along is of no profit to them and we know is of none to . others? Come out and answer. - . ' ' i Some people make the mistake of praying Only for what they want in stetu of asking for what they need.
