Prof. Kverett went to Williams ton Monday to hear Hon. Locke Craig. Mr. Craig cleared U]v4p 1 he entire satisfaction of hisfn/nds£ the charges of his opponents. He showed that his record has been that of an "honest man", and a loyal Democrat. IHe emphasized very strongly the importance of reading the Inspired Word. We a Christian nation in a Christian land display such gross ignorance of tlfe Hook of Hooks. If people would read more, thev would go to church more, and would live closer to God. \\ ith preaching at our doors every Sun day, and Sabbath schools in our churches every week we will be held responsible for what we might have known. Miss Elizabeth Moore spoke to a ■good audience ift the Town Hall Tuesday evening 011 the great ques tion of prohibition, and especially temperance. She is state organizer of theW. C. T. V., but is now cooperating with the Ants-Saloon League to help swell the majority for state prohibition. Her talk was strong, showing the necessity of all, even the women and children, joining hands against the great foe . of mankind. The good ladies of RobersonviUe and many of the young men are -wearing white' ribbon, that every one may see on which side of the temperance question they sta nd. They were delighted to see one of the saloon men wearing the .bad ge of purity. No set of men know fc 7, . , , -- the evil of intemperance more thau saloon men. Some one has said that the business of selling whiskey would convert any good man to the belief in temperance. Mrs. Read died early Wednes day morning. Her husband, mother and Rev. Mr. Read of Williamston accompanied the corpse to Warren - ton for burial. All g »od people ex tend to Mr. Re id their sincerest sympathy in this hour of bereave ment. I Mr. and Mrs. I. D. Roberson, Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Roberson, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Roberson, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Roberson, Me-srs. Jas. Buliock and I). B. Parker went to Shepherd's Mill fishing Tuesday. They caught a good number of fish and had and enjoyable time. Next Sunday the Sabbath school will join in a tempetance rrogram. There is enough argument in the Bible to condemn forever the liquor traffic, with all those who ; believe in the Word of God. We believe that it is a good time to search Gol's word on ( the subject. That is what we propose to do next Sun day. If we search the Scriptures forjthe truth instead of for argu ment, we will not find a single pas sage that justifies the drinking of intoxicating liquors as a beverage. Some people try to justify drunken ness ou the ground that it is spok en of in the Bible.' If these peo ple will reul where Noah, Lot, Na bal, Btn-Hadad,J and Belshazzar got drunk, they will find that in each case the result was evil. Noah's son and his descendants became servants as a result of Noah's drunk. Lot's daughters committed a very Vile sin as a re sult of their father's drunk. Nabal and Elali both lost their Jives as a result of their drunk. BeiT-Hadad's drunk caused the defeat of his na tion. Belshazzer lost his kingdom and his life while in a drunken rev el. Do these drunkenness? The answer is too plain for any sane person to answer in the affirmative. Now, we see like results, or as bad results, every year of our lives, growing out of the drink habit. it is our duty to preach, teach, and legislate against an evil so vile, so destruct ive and happiness. This is the last time-1 shall write before the election. Of course pro hibition will carry. I am not try ing to influence anybody to vote for prohibition to save the cause. I have two re4sons for expressing myself strongly on this question. One is that every man must stand .before the Great Judge and answer tW the way he casts this ballot. If bring suffering, sin, and damnation upon his .fellow nun, then God will hold him to account for his will, whether he succeeds or not. This reason is for the other fellow. My next reason is for urn self. I love mv native county ami am ashamed for it to bs said that I live in a county so illiterate and so immoral as to wish to have open saloons within its borders. My home pride, my pride in my home folks makes me desire to trjake a creditable showing in the eyes of the world. The county that gives a majority against prohibition will be looked upon by the other coun ties of the state, and by all intelli gent people out of the state as be ing verv farbeyind in the advance ment in intelligence and morals, as well as in the material progress so marked in the prohibition counties. For these reasons, and the others that have been given from time to time, I believe it Is the duty of ev ery loyal citizen of Martin County to do all that he can to help roll up a large majority for State Prohibi tion next Tuesday. May the God of battles give us the victory! No appeal can be made to the man who has no self-pride, family pride, county or state pride: who fears or reveres. neither God nor man. „ T \ r;v - He who would sacrifice all, even ' to his children, to the god of his a . ■ ■ •• •«, appetite, is more devoted to that god than most Christians are to Christ. If you hollo somebody wilfohink you are hit. Keep silent and vote your convictions. Why is it that some loyal liquor man has not come out in the open and fought for his cause? Is there auy need of fighting in the dark for a righteous cause? More Nivi from the New Englaid states If any one has any dcuibt as to the virtue of Foley's Ijraney Cure, thev nf-ed only to Wier to Mr. ; Alvin H Stitnpson, of WjHimantic j Conn., who, after almost losing j hope of recovery, on account of the failure of so manv remedies,finally I tried Foley's Kidney Cure, which he says was "just the thing" foi him, as four bottles cured him com- | pletely. He is now entirely well and free from all the suttenng in-\ cident to acute kidney tiouble. C. I C. Chase, S. R. Biggs. ,. PARMELE ITEMS Mrs. D S. Powell went to Bethel Friday. Mr. N. O.

There is a Pink Pain Tablet made by Dr. Shoop, that will positively stop any pain, anywhere, in 20 min utes. Druggists everywhere sell them as Dr. Shoop's Headache Tablets, but they stop other pains as easily as headache.

The Mest Cojnmon Case it Suffering: Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease for the reason that it is the most common of all ills, and it is cer tainly gratifying to sufferers to know that Chamberlain's Pain 1 Balm will afford relief, and make rest and sleep possib'e. In many cases the relief from pain, which is at first temporary, has become per- i tnanent, while in old people subject to chronic rheumatism, often brought on by dampness or changes 1 in the weather, a permanent cure cannot be expected; the relief from pain which this liniment affords is alone worth many times its cost. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by All Druggists and Dealers in Patent Medicine.

In some lines there is complaint of dullness, but you don't hear much of it in Nor folk, and the piano business of Chas. M. StiefT is better than last year. This is 110 boast, but a fact that the sales of StiefT Pianos from the Norfolk branch up to this time . in 190S have been larger than dur ing the same period in 1907. They thought the big trade of the Ex position year could not be equaled this year, but it is better. People like to buy high grade pianos direct from the maker, saving at least SIOO. and getting the guarantee from first hands. This accounts for the ' good business Address Chas. M. Stitff, L C.
