Home of our Republican friends who are opposed to prohibition, seem to be trying to make 'the im pression that it, prohibition, is a Democratic measure. How or why they can think so is , more than some of us understand; be cause some strong Democrats are doing what they can against pro hibition, while some of the strong est Republicans in the State are doing all they can in favor of it. The prohibition cause has no man in' the State doing more for it than Judge Pritchard. How can yon say it is a Democratic measure! C.

Weekly Times. News and Observer. At the Rinn M. E. church East- ; The fraternal organizations have Sunday 1908, Mr. Marlie ; excluded all bar-keepers from mem bership. Why! It is not because the men who sell liquor are not sometimes clever and agreeable, men who are ready to contribute to the care of the orphans and those in distress. On the contrary you of ten find a man who sells w hiskey generous and lileral and a good fel low withal. What is the reason, then, for this exclusion! It is lie cause the business is a bad busi ! ness, tending to make men lose the manhood in them and become brutes. It is not that all the men in the business are unworthy, but because the business is recognized as a dangerous and evil business. Here is a sample of what the l'ra ternal orders are going to do in the IState prohition election, taken from the Concord Times: "I5oth the lodges of tire Junior Order of the United American Me chanics here, Forest Hill Council, No 4!(, and Caunonville Council No. 25, have adopted resolutions strongly endorsing the present pro hibition movement. The action was enthusiastic in both cases. 1 hese orders are composed ot our best citizens, men who love the home, the church, the school and their State, aud they have put themselves on record as opposed to the awful traffic whose tendency is to l)estroy all these." When May 26th comes it will be found that the Junior Orders will be first among the foremost in vot ing for State prohibition, and so will the members of nearly all the fraternal organizations that are working for the betterment of their er Lewis, of Denver, and Miss Maude Powell, ol Kin n, were united in marriage, the Rev. Geoge Say well officiating. Tie wedding ceremony took place at the close of the morning services. I he wedding party en tered the church to the strains of ohengrens wedding march, -played y the Misses Jewett, of Longmont. The service was short and im pressive. 1 he church was decor ated in Easter colors and the front of the pulpit platform was a bank of potted plants, apple blossoms aud carnotions. Mrs. Lewis is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Powell and has grown to womanhood in our midst. She is a lovely girl, a good sister aud daughter. Mr. Lewis las won the esteem of all who know him. A wedding dinner was served at the Powell home and after the good-byes were said, the bride and groom left on the afternoon train for their future home at Salem, Ore. May success and happiness be their portion. Mr. and Mrs. IVwell are Cald well people. Mr. Powell Imng a sm os Joseph T. Powell and Mrs. Powell a daughter of L. Honck, deceased.

Strength to the arms of the Con gressmen who are making efforts to divert some of the money to the South. The moi-e money we get for surveys of waterway improve ments, for deepening of rivers, for rebuilding forts, for the conversion of forts into parks, ( as is proposed in the case ol Fort Fishery for es tablishing forestry reserves aud for putting on ships to carry Southern cotton mill products to foreign mar kets, the better. While the gov ernment has opened wide the doors of the Treasury to the North and West, it has doled out appropria tions to the South wrth a stingy hand . We are glad to see some ev idences lately, of a disposition to change this lone existing order of things. The Southern Congress men should go in to get all they can (or the South, whether in the way of appropriation or subsidy.
