HINDMAN ON TEMPERANCE
(OONTINUKO FROM I’AOK 1)
Lee fromfil to Apomattox. Three
fourths of the people who are
born now are born craving stimu
lants. If they cannot get it in al
coholic stimulants they will take,
it in tobacco and cigarettes. I!
hate to have to blame the women ;
for anything, but I do say that)
they are much to blame for the j
existing condition of things. Hold
on, let me tell you what 1 think of
this thing. 1 think that every wo
man who passes through the per
iod of gestation should, while pass
ing that time, drink at least two
gallons of pure whiskey, or pay a
tine of twenty-five dollars. And
her husband ought to be sent to I
the penitentiary if he would notj
get it for her. And then when i
her boy is eighteen years old, if
the idieations are such that he
would pass for a I nited States
soldier, then she ought to draw a
pension of ten dollars per month
for the balance of her natural
life. And if her baby was a girl,
and at the age of eighteen, could
pass the grade of a perfect woman,!
then she should have the same as
for her soldier boy. By an ar
rangement of this kind, big, stout,
hearty women would quit marry-j
ing little rusty prohis, and go to
raising soldiers, instead of poor;
little angels whose wings would
be in the way of a knapsack.
Considering the subject on
which 1 am writing, probably a
few words concerning myself
might be excusable. 1 am strictly
temperate. I am not a prohibi
tionist. There is quite a differ
ence in the meaning of the two ‘
words. If 1 claimed to be one;
and preached the other, 1 would
be a hypocrite. There were none,
of my ancestors as far back as I
know, who were prohis, or who
were drunkards. My grandfath

name was Barber, served as jus
tice of the peace forty years with
out intermission. lie used whis
key, but never drank to excess.
He raised six boys to manhood,
none of whom were prohis, nor
none of whom ever drank to ex
cess. None of my cousins are
drunkards, but I think that one or
two of them are prohis. My fath
er was never drunk that 1 know
of. He sold whiskey, wholesale
and retail. I was his clerk. I
have three brothers, the youngest
over sixty-five years old, and all
put together, I don't suppose that
they ever drank a gallon of whis
key in their lives. As for myself,
1 will let my friends and neigh
bors who know me be my judge.
Well, Mr. Editor, heres to you
for the building up of humanity.
More like it occasionally.

GOV. GLENN ON PROHIBITION
(CONTINUEI> FROM PAUK <>)
her of our party, and every ono
j of the fourteen declined, saying
that that they used no intoxicants.
VERMONT RETURNED TO PRO
HIBITION.
Some one will ask, “How about
Vermont? That state has had
prohibition for fifty yeais, and
two years ago the people voted it
out and substituted local option.’*
Yes, that is true, but have you
heard the result? I talked to the
governor of Vermont, an excellent
Christian gentleman, about the
conditions there, and here is what
' he told me: Two years ago, because
of the abuses of the law in places,
the people of Vermont threw off
prohibition. As a result seven
! cities in that state voted to grant
licence to sell liquor. So disas
trous in every way, so the gover
nor of Yermot told me, Whs been
the effect on those cities that fivo
of the seven have now voted out
the saloons and returned to prohi
bition and it is only a question of
a short time before the other two
cities do the same thing and Ver
mont v ill again b- a prohibition
state. “I thank God that after
two years’ experience Vermont
will go back to prohibition,” said
the governor of that state.
STATE RIPE FOR AN ELECTION.
1 thank God that North Caroli
na cannot be l>e called a whiskey
state. Already Charlotte, Greens
boro, Durham, Goldsboro, New
Bern, Elizabeth City and scores
I of other places where liquor was
I sold have voted for prohibition.
| The people are aroused.
Submit the question of pro
hibition to the voters of North
! Carolina and I believe it, will
sweep the state by from 75,000 to
100,<>00 majority. 1 pledge you
my earnest aid in that great tight.
I will canvass North Carolina, ,
| speak in every county, and use the,
strength God has given me to win
i this battle for temperance.”

CAUSE
We are in a position to serve you with good icliable
merchandise for less money than any concern in 5 ) miles
of Newark. We have the buying for three big stores,which
gives us a considerable leverage with the wholesale houses,
and being in a small town with small expenses, cuts down
the profit margin, which is essential in keeping up the big
expenses of stores in the larger towns.
EFFECT
_""T""_
We buy and sell more Dry Goods, Clothing, Shoes, Dry
Goods, Millinery, Notions, etc., than any concern tributary
- to Newark, hence the right price must do the \vork. You
can come into our store Saturday, Monday, or any other
day, and find prices o. k., not on “trash,” but good, reliable
merchandise, the only kind we sell. We have prepared for
the advance in prices, and can assure you satisfaction.
