that the democratic party wanted to
force legislation upon the of
any county, but because it had
in them and knew the source
of the cry that the bill ought to be
to the ballot box.
Watts law is an evolution
and not a revolution. It is not
experiment. It proceeds along con
lines. It was framed to
meet a long-felt want. Gov. Aycock
in his message to the last legislature
recommended the manufacture
and sale of liquor be confined to in-
cities and towns and
gave reasons therefor.
It was for the
protection of the country people
that this legislation was undertaken.
The whiskey traffic having been
driven from two thirds of our rural
territory into towns,
where it could be watched and curb
ed, the democratic legislature went
to the relief of the remaining third
and said that the rural schools and
churches should have a free hand in
training the rising generation. And
this policy met the approval of the
democratic state convention without
a dissenting vote.

principle of Watts law. The like

to the assertion that the man who

to be excluded from participation in
the party primaries.
A True Picture.
In his speech a few nights ago in
Brooklyn Senator of Texas,
tell us that the President is
honest. Let us grant it, but let us re-
member that he is as erratic as he is
honest. They tell us that the
dent is brave, and so he is, but is
as rash as he is brave. I i we were
seeking a would prefer the
President over almost any other man
now in public we are seek
ink a statesman, I would prefer
most any man who is in public life
over the President. He would be
one of the best men to lead a
ate charge in time of war; but be is
one of the worst men to administer a
great government in time
There is one other trait just as
prominent as those alluded to,
and that is his stolid indifference,
his persistent irreverence to that
which is sacred to the heart of all
true Americans. This he ha
in the only way in which it is
possible to destroy the social
which are necessary for the
happiness and prosperity of both
races. His conduct in this
has no precedent among men in
his class, it only needs
few like him to destroy the
present social status between the
races.
He has overshot his own
with but few exceptions.
Social equality is an American dis-
and is not confined to any
party. It is neither confined to any
section, but North, South, East, and
West wherever the stars and stripes
is seen, declares this country is a
unit forever in the social separation
of the two races.

By reading your paper, and by
one of my reading King's
Dollar Daily, I have been bearing

and I have puzzling to
know how many sorts of people we
have the county.
I bare been that a good

other who are thirsty, and we
wish that we relieve them,
but we do not have but one plan

do much toward quenching; their
thirst or satisfying their ravings.
People sometimes move to our
little town to try our plan, and,
notwithstanding their thirst, they
are determined, and they stay and
stay, until after a while their thirst
to pass away and then
mi to our little temperance
town.
Out little town has no
about other dispensaries

we have a promising neighbor

sides piteous pleadings fro.

us to feel much disturbed, for we
know that they and ail their
friends will in- restored if they
can the treatment, or, at
least, that is the the plan

where.
Well, I intend writing
about all this, as we know so little
about these whiskey troubles. We
may not know how to suit all these
and if it don't suit
them it might hurt our chance to
get nominated.

of the Greenville Tobacco Board
of Trade, seen a
cation in The Daily
advocating J. J.

of subscribing our hearty endorse-
to every word of that com-
We notice that
most every class of our citizens are

farmers, merchants, bankers,
professional men generally, and as
men we want to be per-
to add our in i-t
tic approval to the nomination
Mr. Laughinghouse has for ten
years a familiar figure on our
as a tobacco
farmer, looking after and selling
hie tobacco, and all relations we
have found him to be a high
minded, practical gentlemen. If
the convention will him
this place, we herewith make
an advanced prophecy that he will
make the one of the best
representative- that ever served
lie county this capacity.
Mr. is a very
vigorous man whatever be
undertakes, and on this account is
misunderstood by those
who do not know him intimately,
but by bis own people, his neigh-
and those who have come in-
to intimate contact with him, be
is appreciated for his genuine
worth. We hope the democrats
the county over will join together
and nominate this gentleman for
one of the places on
ticket.
As the communication above
referred to aptly will be
the representative of no one
or class of but he will
present the county and her
interest. Nominate him for tin-
place and you will be of
him. Nominate him, and before
the next general assembly adjourn-
In will be by bis

we would have to have special
