AN INSULT TO THE FARMERS" ' OF NORTH CAROLINA RESENTED Liquor Interests are Saying: "We Have Long Had the Negro to Save the Day for Whiskey, and Now Have the Farmer to Take the Negro's Piace"?Opportunity for the Farmers to Give a Crushing Rebuke to This Insult to Their Manhood and Intelligence. (News aiid Observer) To the Editor: 1 am prepar paring rather carefully a full and dispassionate review of the ob jections made to State prohibi tion in North Carolina, but there is one matter about which I can no longer keep silent, and which it may be as well that 1 must omit from my review, as 1 am lees inclined to treat it dis passionately. I refer to the statement which liquor leaders have made over and over again, in substance if not in words: "The strength of the liquor in terests is in the country. We admit that you prohibitionists will carry the towns, but we are going to sweep the rural dis tricts. We used to have the negro to stand by whiskey and save it in every election, but while we haven't got the negro any longer, we have got the farmer and we are banking on him to take the negro's place." # * * This is the claim, farmers of North Carolina, that the liquor men have made from the begin ning of this campaign. What do you think of it? What of this studied and oft repeated insult that the farmers, the intelligent" country people of North Caro lina, belong body and soul to the whiskey sellers, and maybe; counted upon to step into the] poor, ignorant, venal negro's shoes as the great refuge and stand-by of the liquor iuterests? For this reason, if for no other, the farmers of the State should redouble and then redouble again their efforts in behalf of prohibi tion. Let the country vote be so decided, so overwhelming, that uever again will friends'aud hirelings of the saloon dare in-! suit the sturdy farmers of the old North State by such a reflec tion upon their manhood and their honor. * * * It was the farmers of North j Carolina who won immortal re nown at Mecklenburg court house. It was the farmers of North Carolina who gave to Alamance and Moore's Creek and King's Mountain their undying fame. It was the farmers of North Carolina largely in the Civil War who won for North Carolina the glory of being "first at Bethel and last at Appomat tox." To say that the eons of such sires have now degenerated iuto the willing slaves of saloon keepers and whiskey interests, and that they may be counted on to take the negro's place as the tool and cat's paw of these men?this is slander, which as their spokesman, I can not too j bitterly deny nor appeal to them too strougly to hurl back at its originators. ? # ? A few months ago I stood on the old battle-ground at hexing ton, Mass , and saw the statue of the ploughman there that marks the spot? "Where once the embattled far mers stood And fired the shot heard round the world." To the farmers of North Caro lina I would now appeal to re peat the deed of their fellows in Massachusetts a hundred years ago and more. A world wide movement is now on agaiust in temperance and its powers of darkness. On the other side of earth the celestial empire of China is making a determined, heroic effort to shake off the gal ling chains of the opium habit, one of the worst forms of intem perance. In far-away England the growth of temperauce senti ment is only less pronounced than here, in our own land, North, _South, East and West are agitated as never before. * * # T? i wt J i n i nut morcn uaronna, remern. ber, is the first state in tbe pre sent temperance revival to vote by ballot on prohibition. In all the other States the question has been decided by legislative act, and now the whiskey interests are claiming that North Caro lina's vote will show that tbe people, that the country people, are not behind this movement of their leaders. North Caroliua therefore is the touch-stone. Its voice is eagerly awaited in all parts of America, the reverbera tion may even reach to Europe and Cathay, and if our rural population will but exert itself to the utmost, it may be said of North Carolina in 1908 as it was of Massachusetts in 1775 that? "Here onre the embattled farm-I ers stood And tired the shot heard round the world." Seen in its large significance, therefore, the May 26th election affords not only the occasion for a crushing rebuke to the most violent recent insult to the farm ers of this State, but it is also the supreme moral opportunity offered them iu this generation. That they will prove them selves worthy sons of their sires when the test comes, 1 have no 1 doubt. Clakence H. Poe. Kaleigh, N. C , April 7, 1908. The Origin Of "Uncle Sam." The term "Uncle Sam" origin ated at Troy, in New York State, during the War of 1812. The Government Inspector there was called Uncle Sam Wilson and when the war opened Elbert An derson, the contractor at New York, bought a large amount of beef, pork and pickles for the army. These goods were in I spected by Mr. Wilson, and were duly labeled E. A. U 8., meaning Elbert Anderson, for the United States. The term U. S. for United States was then somewhat new, land the workmen concluded it [referred to Uncle Sam Wilson, j After they discovered their mis j take they kept up the name for j fun. These same men soon went to war. There they repeated the ,joke. It got into print and went the rouuds. From that time on the term "Uncle Sam" grew to be the nickname of the United States, and now it is everywhere understood that Uncle Sam and our National Government are one and the same thing.?Kansas City Star.

Home Surprises Other Fellows. One of the surprises we have been saying the Home people have in store for the other fel lows, came right at the first shot. He carried Stanly county. His friends had got to work in Stanly late?by some sort of cir cumstance they were in that field only did uotexpect much, though they counted on something?and behold! Nobody expected a bite at the Buncombe county cake. It was baked for Craig. In Ire dell, Mr. Home got just about as much of a vote as his friends had told him he would get. In the first skirmish the Johnston county man did somefairly good execution. The result must have been quite discouraging to M-. Kitchm's friends. His vote hardly worth putting in his vest pocket. It was lamentably dif ferent from what his friends bad been claiming it would be. It is not going to surprise us a bit if these newspaper correspond ents who have been heretofore talking about Craig and Kitchin as if Home were not in it. will soon be talking about Home and Craig, as if Kitchin were not. in it.?Charlotte Chronicle.
