delivered a sermon which, it
appears, had given by him

Hate at Sight.
There are some who argue that
love is at sight. How-
ever that he. I am certain that it is
often thus with hate. I have seen
men in my time the first sight of
whom was an insult to
stinging, like a slap on the cheek.
It is n strange thing, and I have
never heard it explained
Sometimes in my own case
have attributed it to even so slight
a thing as a certain turn of the
nose, a curve of the lip, a droop of
the eye, and again I have felt that it
was due to nothing visible about the
man. but rather to some subtle cm-
from the very soul of him

State Auditor Dixon, speaking
yesterday of the recent meeting
at Columbus, O., of State Audi-
tors and other officers of various
States, having to do with mat-
of taxation, said, that he
found the methods of assess-
of property in the other
States effected the same
in taxation that we have in
North Carolina and in some
States they are greater. An
equitable method is that of
in which State all property
is assessed at its actual value
and taxed at one-fourth this.
Dr Dixon's idea is that the only
fair thing is to list all property
at its true value and adjust the
tax rate accordingly. Under this
system the taxable values in
North Carolina would appear on
the books at about twelve
millions instead of four
millions and the State tax
would be about ten cents on the
hundred instead of
cents. This would be
perfectly equitable and we can-
not conceive of any other method
that would.
This system in effect. Dr.
would not allow counties to levy
special taxes, since some of them j
adopt this means, under low as-;

very easily if the yolk is not broken.
A little nutmeg grated upon the

over it or some salt and a dash of
cayenne pepper vary the flavor and

A raw egg is one of the most nu-

easily if the yolk is not broken.
A little nutmeg grated upon the

over it or some salt and a dash
pepper vary the flavor and
tend to make it more palatable
when not taken as a medicine.

each. The women made

Hanrahan, N. C. Feb. 1908- l ,
The time was when the differ-
sections of the State were
POOR PRINT
and yet some men steal. Our
statutes are full of prohibition
laws, which are violated by some
one almost every day. Do we
hear those men say these do not
prohibit and therefore let them
be repealed Nay, verily. It
is only when it is proposed to
prohibit by law something of
the wreck and ruin produced by
the sale of whiskey that we hear
the cry that prohibition does not
prohibit.
I now propose, very briefly, to
show that prohibition does pro-
prohibit-not absolutely, but
largely and beneficially. In the
first place I remark that no
man law is perfect in its con-
or execution. We have
to take all law with its human
limitations, but the law which
prohibits the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquor CAN
BE MADE as efficient as any
other law if the people so will it.
In the next place I remark that
we are all more or less creatures
of habit. If we have the habit
of going to bed at nine o'clock,
when nine o'clock comes a
feeling creeps upon us.
If we get in the habit of getting
up at six o'clock when six o'clock
comes we become wakeful. If
twelve o'clock be our dinner
hour, when noon comes hunger
comes with it. Men even con-
tract the dirty, filthy habit of
chewing tobacco and when the
habit gets a good hold upon
them they are never satisfied
except when they have a of
the stuff in their mouth. So
with drinking- It is largely a
