The puce for fall months is really we expect. Peaches brought into Georgia alone nearly three million dollars, and the smith's melons and tables have netted two or three times as much. The sooth's cotton will give us half a million dollars there will lie very corn to buy next winter. the west, corn prospects are line, but wheat will be per cent short. Bo the west will barely hold its own. In the east, the presidential campaign and a slow iron and steel market are depressing general business. Last winter the South's cotton money went a long way to avert a general panic. Now it looks as if the south will again furnish the money and the prosperity for the nation.

At present every lover of sobriety and truth in Pitt county has special reasons to heed these facts.

I have studied very closely the temperance legislation in the different states in the Union and I find that every effort along that line causes a division in sentiment, not only among masses bat among our wisest statesmen. This division of sentiment does not arise entirely from our sympathy for or against temperance but from the beet method of bringing it about. There are thousands of good men in North Carolina who are opposed to the Watts bill not because they are intemperate or believe intern per but because they believe it defeated the very purpose for it was enacted. And there are thous- ands who believe it will be the means of saving our boys from drunkard's and will bring peace and happiness to home miserable drunken husband end father. This being the eta a I am tired of Tn every man out of the Democratic party who does not believe in the Watts law and I em tired of Dollar Dally doing the earns thing by those who differ with him, and his almost dally abuse of two of our honorable Our political enemies are watching the breach in our lines with a broad smile on their upon which goad me can differ and be honest their We can and must carry Pitt county by such a large majority this year that the most will never show his face on the field of battle again.
