Two young men have spoken
here on prohibition. Saturday af
ternoon Hon. R. O. Everett of
Durham addressed a large and ap
preciative audience in the town
hall. Mr. Everett discussed the
question as a governmental policy, j
showing that it is the duty of the
State to take such action as the in
terests of the majority of the peo
ple demand. With irrefutable
facts he showed that the industrial,
intellectual and moral develop J
4Hvnt uf—the people.. WQlild be ad
van :eil l.y state .prohibition lie
coiitra>tpl the state in ISSI and
the present, and showed that the
large growth of prohibition senti
ment and strength is lue to elitni
nation of ignorant and vicious
vote v-fr"n) the t>allot aud the dis
semiuat.ua- of nitell gence
u4l the i>eople ; Tire speech was
strong, logical and fair. No doubt
the cause was very much strength
ened by this calm, intelligent -and
impassioned address.
Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock
another good crowd assembled in
thef nvn hall to bear Hon. C. ir
land K. Midyette. lie greeted his
hearers with such just and manly
arguments that not the strongest
anti-prohibitionist could take any
offetlse at what he said. lie con
trasted with vivid effect the wet
and dry cities of North Caro
lina, showing that prohibition in
variably helped every city that had
tried it. He said that this move
ment was not the pet of any party
or order, but was a natural result
of the onward march of intelli
gence, morality arid "good- govern
ment. He appealed to reason, not
prejudice; to virtue, not vice; to
the heart not the stomach. All lie
asked was that every man honestly
weigh the evidence for and against
prohibition and then vote to the
dictates of his conscience. x
After the speaking the Hamil
ton Athletic Club played "Ten
Rights in a Bar Room "
Tived Serves, with that M uo am*
bitiou" feeling that is commonly
felt in spring or early summer, can
be easily and quickl v altered by
taking what is known to druggists
everywhere as Dr. -Slioop's Res
torative. One will absolutely note
a changed feeling within 4S hours
p.fter beginning to take the Restora
tive. The bowels get sluggish in
the winter-time, the circulation of'
ten slows up, the K'dneys are in
active, and even the Heart in many
cases grows decidedly weaker. Dr.
Shoop's Restorative is recognized
everywhere as a genuiue tonic to
these vital organs. It builds up
attdstreugthensthe worn-out weak
ened nerves; it sharpens the failing
appetite, and universally aids di
gestion. It always quickly brings
renewed strength, life vigor, and
ambition. Try it and be convinced.

The Most Common Cause ot Suffering:
Rheumatism causes more pain

for the reason that it is the most
common of all ills, and it is cer

rest and sleep possib'e. In many
cases the relief from pain, which is
at first temporary, has become per

cannot be expected; the relief from
pain which this liniment affords is
alone worth many times its cost.
