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 simply It means that the of the country are spared from whiskey placed close to th with no protection a mind but cm fines th there is I , . . A this every -i . town ought ii believe any i., , hit respect or 11- if and his a v shop with its evil no-. in home. The Watts law also means that while the sale of is ed to the t the people of any town shall have the to say whether their town shall have loons, a or Wherever a dispensary is ea ed the law provides one-half the net proceeds shall go to the. 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 Who will it be Wait and see. They are gathering at St, Louis. Wait for the news from St. Louis. Durham is finding cider stands troublesome. The rains give the and a breathing spell. 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 charge Dumont cut the bag himself sounds gassy. Something hotter than a hot day in June is a hot day in July. That is a sensible article Joe Blow writes in another column. Just take a glance and it is seen most of the men trying to get on the county ticket this year are in and there are already runners over the county trying to create sentiment for them. Of there are some good men in town, but there are plenty just as good in the country There a way to do things right and a way to do them wrong, and those who have been attempting to run an illegal dispensary in Green- ville the last few days have seemed want to make it as odious as . Not being legally establish- ed it might have been expected that its would be at variance with the law. We had almost forgotten the republicans had nominated a dates for governor until reminded of it by the announcement that their man Harris has challenged Glenn for a joint canvass. How it looks for a man to try- to throw in the way of cyclone. It is a spectacle for a town to be run by the whiskey ring. Now we will look to the West until St Louis is heard from. Marion has given populism a parting kick and joined in with the republicans. Is the hundred dollars salary worth the rumpus some people are making to hold on to it. This vegetable season of the year is giving the beef spasms. People are living better, too. Some people cannot see the spirit sitting the curtain laughing over the political capital they are making for him. What great constitutional ex- pounders these latter days are de- Every little can tell you all about it. There is a spirit of lawlessness in Greenville that is not for the community and the sooner it is tho better will be the result. The prohibitionists have a ticket and left miles off. They named Silas C. Swallow for dent and George W. Carroll for vice president.

The seventeenth annual and tournament of the North Carolina State Association will be held this year at Salisbury, from August to 5th, inclusive. The generous citizens of Salisbury are very enthusiastic, and have ranged a prize list for State and Inter-State contests in excess of any other city that has entertain- ed the association. Invitations have been sent to the departments in Georgia and South Carolina 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. The beneficent services of the State Association are just beginning to be realized by the property owners of the State. Oak Institute, whose ad- appears elsewhere, is one of the institutions in North Car that have come to stay and made good its claim to popular support. It enters upon its year August 30th, and has been years under the manage- of its owners and principals, Messrs Holt. It combines very thorough work with reasonable rates It had young men and boys last year, representing seven states. It is situated near Greensboro, over feet above sea-level, in view of the mountains, and in one of the most healthful and beautiful of the South. It is splendidly equip- ed.

Hear before destruction and an haughty spirit before a The Orange, Va., Observer calls him His mouth does have the appearance of a door filled with teeth Those who are lifting up their voices against the Watts law must overlook the fact that it has the endorsement of the democratic state convention.
