and Organizer for the Anti-Saloon
League of North Carolina delivered
two strong addresses here this week
in the interest of temperance re
form.
Mr. Davis has given much
thought to this subject for years,
and is an ardent and successful
temperance worker.
The attendance Monday night
was very satisfactory. On Tuesday
night there was a Masonic meet
ing in town at the*aiuehour which
prevented some from hearing Mr.
Davis. Still the congregation was
of good size and representative of
the various chnrhes and of the
l>est type of the social, business,
professional and political life of
Williamston.
Twenty-four were enlisted as
members of the local chapter of the
Anti-Saloon League. Among
thete are some of the most influen
tial men of the town. The League
will lie organized Monday night at
H o'clock in the Christian Church.
The interest in this work has deep
ened and intensified to a degree
that is very gratifying to its most
ardent friends.
The Anti Saloon League is Inter-
Denominationnl and 11011 partisau.
Men of every church or' of no
church, of any political party orot
no party may join the League. No
total abstinauce pledge is required

desires to lie rid of the temptation
of drink may join.

KEEP AWAY FROM
JAMESTOWN
I>i the current issue of Every
thing the following bomb is thrown
into the camp of the Exposition:
"The American government
backed the Jamestown Exposition
for a million dollars and the rob
bers are at work. Every hotel mk)
every place to sleep has
stand and deliver proposition. This
is not hearsay eviden :e—it is a fact
as ascertained beyond question by
representatives of Evetything. Ho
tels that in the other days charged
reasonable prices have shot their
charges to the sky. Hotels dear
at three or four dollars a day are
charging for their wretched service
ten and fifteen —and unsightly
shacks where cots are spread with
dirty l>ed clothes want two and
dollars a night for sleeping
privileges^
"It is a game of hold-up a game
that would put to shame the James
Bovs and jMbyathau Wilde and
Canada Hill and Kufe Burrows and
all the bandits and stage* roblters
ever ojierating in America.
" VVheu San Francisco was strick
en and the merchants uttempted to
rob the Jes|viiriug and fleeing peo
ple, Uncle Sam stepped in and de
clared martial law. The soldiers
took possession, and stocks of goods
were confiscated. The strong ami
of the army showed that Right and
Justice would prevail.
"The government at Washing
ton has iuvested a million of dollars
in the Jamestown enterprise and
the tdea is for people to come there
to see a show, and not to journey
hundreds of miles to be separated
from their coin by greedy men who
want to make a fortune iu a season.
"Martiallaw should be declared
and every man attempting to charge
the robber late should be put out
of business. His property should
be confiscated. There is 110 use to
allow this wholesale plunder—and
all people should keep away from
the Jamestown exposition. There
is no reason why they should go
and be held up, and it is a hold up
in most every case.
"Keep away from Jamestown un
til the exposition managers make
rates that are reasonable —or until
the government declares martial
law and suppressed the robl>ers who
with high handed effrontery are
charging three aud four prices.
There is a time when the people
should be warned and informed,
and this is one of them. The press
owes a duty to the people and that
duty is to spread th/ alarm that
robbers are at work and unmo
lested."
Death of Joshua L. Corey.
Another of the old soldiers has
lieen called to his last rest. Joshua
L. Corey memt»er of Company H,
61 N. C. Regiment passed away at
the home of Mr. Alfred G. .Griffin
last Friday at the ripe old age of
80. His remains were interred
Saturday besides those of his
lather iu the H. T. Roberson bury
ing giound.
Mr. Corey returned to Martin
County after the war a poor man,
but by thrift and economy he
manage to accumulate a compe
tency, leaving an estate of about
$15,000.- He was never married.
Mr. Corey moved to Beaufort
about seventeen years ago and
lived there for about fifteen years,
he came to Martin about two
yeara agonYul made his home with
Mr. Gray Griffin till his death.
