colored brother preached one fun-

THE WATTS LAW BEING
There is
about the Watts law being
spread throughout the county.
These misrepresentations
through selfish motives, by per-
sons who are either agents of the
saloons or who are crying to poison
the minds of the people in the hope
of getting themselves into office
They are telling among other things
that under the provisions of the
Watts law the county at large is
deprived of all the benefits derived
from liquor licenses, and that
the law was enacted solely for the
benefit of the towns at the expense
of the country. Why thoughtful
people will for a moment believe
malicious misrepresentations
we are at a loss to understand.
Sifted down the Watts law

county and to the town.
And the town has to bear ail the
burden of police protection.
Now what i the result as to
Greenville and the county Hereto-
fore Greenville had eleven
loons. The greatest benefit the
ever got in any year from
license paid by these saloons is
Compare this with the
benefit the county will derive by
Greenville having a dispensary in-
stead of eleven saloons. It has been
estimated by some that the
arising from the dispensary will be
a year. If that is true the
town will get of it and
the county against the
received from the saloons.
Some argue that that estimate is
too high. Admit that it is, and say
that the dispensary profits amount
to only a year, then the
county's half be
against from saloons. Or,
to illustrate further, say, for
sake, that the dispensary pro-
fits do not go above then
the county would get where
it got only from saloons
Even if the dispensary should net
a year, and nobody

believes the figures will be that
low, the county will get half of it
which is more than double what it
got out of the saloons.
Look at Kinston, the capital of
our neighboring county. A
has been in operation there
just six months, and the Free Press
says the profits for the six months
amounted to That paper
also says it is believed the profits
for the next six months will be
much larger from the fact that fall
trade is much greater than spring
trade.
So away with all this
sen tat ion that is heard. It is time
that people were thinking for them-
selves and not listening to the false-
hoods told by the place hunters.
The Watts law is of greater benefit
in every way to the country than to
the towns and is one of the best laws
that have been enacted.

The generous citizens of Salisbury

other city that has entertain-

been sent to the departments in

in addition to every company in our
own State, and the indications are
that the attendance will be very
large, and the event a notable one.
