With .ithe s exception - .of . Sampson, Onslow and Pamlico counties, all of the returns have, been tabulated and it is found that Hon. .Charles R. Thom as of New Bern is somewhat in the lead of Hon. George E. Hood of this city. . i Mr. Thomas has unofficial returns from; Onslow county .which give him five hundred first choice votes there and while Hon. George E." Hood lead him by a hundred and fifty or two hundred votes in Pamlico county there is every reason to believe that his vote In On slow county will offset this and thdt when the fjnat count is made, that 'he have the largest number of votes. t The committee will probably con clude tlicir work tomorrow by noon.

Heard . By ' -' Many And - Enjoyed By All. Sara Small, Georgia's gifted prohibi tionest orator of national fame, delivered at Centenary Church last night to stand ing rooora crowd his celebrated blood and hair, tooth and 'toe-nail lecture of irony, sarcasm, fun and fact' on the great national'eyil, the legalized liquor traffic, swaying the audience for nearly two hours with the power of his master ful oratory and the influence of his mag- nectic personality, carrying people time after time lit to storms of uproar! ng ap plause and abandoned-like convulsions of laughter. - ' Growth of Prohibition For 29 years, Mr. Small has been in the fight for national prohibition. He has grown grey .calling with the voice of a man who. knows not fear, and whose course has been influenced by neither praise nor blame to the people of the nation to wipe the map of the United States clean of an evil which drags an nually from one home in every five a young man to send him to a drunkard's grave and that starts one daughter out of every seventh home annually along the scarlet pathway of shame. He en tered the fight when the advocates of prohibition had the doors of the church es closed upon them and has lived to see the time when the churches of the land have enlisted whole-souled in the cause of prohibition, when ,72 per cent. bf the territory of the nation is dry and the passing of a naUqnal law that niakes it-possiDie lor any. state in tne union to free itself from the curse of liquor by passing the necessary laws. Today, Mr. Small said that more than 50 per cent of the intoxicating liquors sold In the United States is sold in the States of New York, New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin. Add- to these six, four more Indiana, Michigan, Mlnnessota and Missouri and m the 10 States named 73 per cent of all the intoxicating liquors sold in the United States is depensed. There are 14 Southern Stztes with a population of more than 32,000,000, in which there is less intoxicating liquor" sold than is sold 1A the city of Chicago alone. And is due to the fact that part of these States have State-wide prohibition and otrjers are getting ready for it. : v?:. Does Prohibition Prohibit i Mr. Small said that through the. sta tistics of the Internal Revenue' Depart ment and the records of railway and ex press companies It is now possible to ascertain the place where every gallon of whiskv. brandv or beer is manufact- " r - . ured, where It was shipped, to whom it was shipped and to whom it was de liverde. - Following this statement, Mr. Small set about answering the ques tion. VDoes prohibition prohibit?" by drawing ' upon statictiss for the past year as complied by the Internal Rev enue Department and as accepted by the national brewery association and in corporated - in their own directory - or handbook. The figures showed that the people of Georgia, where they have State-wide prohibition, ' consumed last year 2.14 gallons of intoxicating liquor per capitaIn Missouri, 21.1 gallons per capita Were 'consumed, or just 10 times as much.1. That State does not have State-wide prohibition. And in Wiscon- sin where they almost have "free li quor,";, the consumption for that yean amounted to 69 gallons per capita, or i nearly six gallons per; month. 1.5 - gal- Ions per week, for every man, woman and child in the State. The speaker assert ed that prohibition does prohibit and that its failure to prohibit entirely is due to the fact that the , dry States cannot prateot themselves against the whisky dealers in " the " States . where there are no prohibition laws. , : The National Fight. Mr. Small pointed out the rapidity with which the prohibition sentiment has 8 wept over the country, reclaiming vast areas and driving the saloons from the land, pr'ting then out of business last year at the rate of one for every 24 mioutes, night and day. .There are now 10 States that are dry and 12 nure that will be dry within the next few months. The wliiskey interests are being crowded more and more into re- T . ; . SEC TY Bill WILL REACH IIEI'J ii tdmdhho To Be Accompanied By Senator Simmons COMING BY GOLDSBORO To ' Make Address At The . Fair Grounds In The Af ternoon. Tomorrow is "Bryan Day" the big day of the big week, and there is not the least doubt but that there win be between eight andjteo thousand visitors er" speak. Secretary Bryan, accompanied by Senator F. M. Simmons, of this city, who is to introduce him to the vast crowd which will be assembled in the grand stand, will arrive tomorrow, morn ing shortly after 9 o'clock, coming by way of Goldsboro. In this party will be several news paper men representing the Washing ton newspapers and also the Associated Press representative. At Goldsboro they will be met by several of New Bern's most prominent citizens. After arriving in New Bern Secre tary Bryan will go to the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Blades where he is to ge entertained and will remain there until leaving for the Fair grounds in the afternoon. Secretary Bryan's renown as a speak er is well known all over the civilized world and those who do not seize this opportunity to hear him may be losing rne opportunity ot a ute time and it may be that they will never again haye an opportunity of hearing him. Just what subject Mr. Bryan will take, has not biennnoiinced. How ever, there is a probability that he will tell his hearers of the stand that the United States is taking in regard to the Mexican situation.

The fight bang Waged by the nation al Prohibition Association is for nation- -al prohibition.' i The liquor interests have raised, Mr. Small said, 15,000,000 to be used in attempt to secure legis lation favorable to 'the traffic of spirits The' national association is bringing all possible pressure to bear upon the gov- ernment ;at j Washington with a view .to secure such legislation as wil sweep the curse 'of . drink from the - land. It is a government business, fostered and protected by the national govern ment and the advocates of the cause of prohibition are striving to bring to pass the" time ; which Uncle Sam shall no longer be a dealer in "boozei"
