**»■ Absolutely Pure The only baking powder made with Royal Grape Cream of Tartar No him, No Lkm Phosphate The Harm That Whiskey Does. Who knows the harm that whiskey does? The suffering who can tell? We ask the man who strong drink loves, Who by the curse has fell. He cannot tell one half the pain Or suffering it has brought To him in mind, in heart, in brain, Or on his body wrought. He cannot tell the pain and woe Of wife and children dear, Or all the suffering that they knew Or what’s their dreadful fear, How oft’ his mother’s heart has broke. His father bowd in shame, When he has put himself to soak In whiskey’s fiery flame, A list of harm brought on by drink, "Would fill a volume large, And many crimes., as black as ink, We must to whiskey charge. It takes, from Christian homes, the boyB And turns them into thieves: And all their hope of life destroys, And ’round them ruin weaves. It takes the bright-eyed boys we love, And makes them drunken sots; It puts them where they’re not above The murderers’ midnight plot. When in the prison they are cast, We ask the cause to know? And when the truth we find at laBt, “Twas drink, the deadly foe.’’ It makes them in the ditches fall And in the mud to lay, It makes them taste the bitter gall That in strong drink doth stay. It makes its way into the home And some times, shame to say, It makes the fairer ones to roam Where sin and shame doth stay. It lands its victims in the grave, In early manhood’s hour, It makes them in their misery rave; Strong drink has dreadful power. Sometimes it rules where laws are made For this bright land of ours, And oft, a candidate has aid Brought in by whiskey’s powers, Somtimes its use will make a man Forget his blood bought right And cast his vote at drink’s command, Let it be wrong or right. It causes men to quarrel and fight. And black each other’s eye, With cruel blows, their friends they smue, To slay them they will try. Then let us join the ranks with these Who stand against this foe, And with them every move oppose, Our courage let us show. With words of love, we’ll bsg and plead W’itn those who make and sell This awful stuff, they know will lead So many down to hell. We’ll plead with them, to cast their vote To save our girls and boys, And clench the demon by the throat Before it more destroys. We’ll ask their help, to drive it out Of this bright land of ours, And when ’tis done, we’ll raise a shout Stong drink has lost its pow’rs. —Bunion, Faith, N, O., 3-2-’08 -- Judge Becomes Interested in Prisoner and Will Assist in Getting Pardon. Asheville, March 28.—Publica tion of a notice is made here of application for a pardon for A. C. Strickland who is under sentence to the chaingang for a term of eighteen months but by reason of a kindly feeling aroused in Judge Peebles for the convicted man. Strickland is at libsrty and grant ed time in which to prepare and make application for a pardon. The interest that Judge Peebles has taken in Strickland came about in a queer manner. Strick land was convicted here of bigamy and sentenced to eighteen months on the roads. He appealed to the Supreme Court and pending the hearing of the appeal went on about bis work, returning to South Carolina, his native State, j When informed that the Supreme ' Court had decided against him Strickland came to Asheville ana voluntarily presented himself to Judge Peebles for re-sentence. So unusual was the act that Judge Peebles made inquiry and declared that a man aB honest as Strickland ought not to have to serve time on the roads. Execu tion of the sentence was continued for 60 days with the tacit under standing that Strickland apply for a pardon, the court inti mating that it would be glad to Resist, J How to Raise Boys. “Thar aiut much of a problem in raisin’ boys if you’ll have a lit tle common-sense about it,” said Mr. Billy Sanders. “Don’t let ’em run wild like pigs in the woods, an’ don’t keep the lines too tight, an’ when things go wrong don’t be afear’d of usin’ a raw-hide. But don’t forgit that the mammies an’ daddies of the laud are twice responsible when one of the’r boys goes wrong. Ef the legislatur’ wants to do a good work, and make better citizens out’n the risin’ generation, let it put a heavy penalty on the dear parents ol the boys that go wrong. ’ ’ —Joel Chandler Harris, in Uncle Remus’ Magazine.

The pastors of the churches in Alamance county, thirty-two in number, have issued a pastoral address to the voters of Alamance county that has right ring. From it these extracts are taken. “This is the opportunity for which we have been long, praing, and one which, if neglected now, may never come again, jf we let our cause be lest now, we serve notice on our Legislature that odr people are opposed to Statelprohi bitio; to win by a small majority will mean the indefinite continu ance of the fight; to win over whelmingly will settle the question once for all. “Let us not be deceived by the soothing assurance that victory gill be easily won. On the con taryr we need strenuous efforts of every temperance man and wo man, a thorough organization in every township, and every vote that can.be cast. The liquor man ufacturers and dealers of the whole country are pouring money into otr State and flooding it with per nicious litterature filled with specious falsehoods. And some of our own newspapers and politi cians are using all their influence to prejudice' the people against prohibiton.” TIME TO ACT. Don’t Walt for the Fatal Stages of Kidney Illness.

A correspondent writing from * Lenoir to the Greensboro Indus- 1 trial News tells of the peculiar | performances of a white pigeon. Everyday when the passenger 1 train on the Carolina and North western railroad comes into Le noir, says'the correspondent, is fol lowed ty this pigeon, which perch es itself on a housetop or in a tree near the station until time for the train to depart. As soon as the signal is given for the train to leave this pretty white bird is all attention and when the train begins to move the pigeon follows after it. Sometimes it flies along side the engineer’s cab, within arms-length of the cab window. Other times it haB been seen ahead of the train, over the train and away benind, bringing up the rear owing to the speed the train was running. Several people have testified to having seen this pigeon follow ing the train for the past four or five days. The railroad men re port that the pigeon follows the train to Granite Falls, Cliffs and even as far as Hickory. It al ways follows the first train from Hickory, or wherever it stops to rest, back to Lenoir, -• • Don’t fail to pay your poll' tax before the 1st day of May if yon wish to vote in any of the elections to be held this year. This is what Hod. Jake Moore, State Warden of Georgia, says of Kodol For Dyspepsia: “E. C. DeWitt & Co., Chicago, 111.—Dear Sirs—I have suffered more than twenty years from indigestion. About eighteen months ago I had grown sc much worse that I could not eat a crust of oorn bread and could not retain anything on my stomach, I lost 25 1 Gb ; in fact I made up my mind that I could not live but a short time, when a friend of mine recommended Kodol. I consented to try to please him and I was better in one day. I now weigh more than I ever did in my life and am in better health than for many years. Kodol did it.
