PARKER, of New York. For Vice President, HENRY G. DAVIS, of West Virginia. A CALL TO ARMS. There can lie no question about a sentiment in favor of a reduction in the liquor traffic in this country. I Under the provision of the Watts bill in North Carolina the liquor business has been in a large measure con quered and the people of that State are voting for prohibition at almost every opportunity. About twelve years ago this State voted for prohi bition by about 10,000 majority. It was held that because a very large per cent, of the people did not express themselves on the subject when the | opportunity was given the people were not ready for prohibition, but as a step in the direction of curtail ing the whiskey evil those in power thrust upon the people the iniquitous dispensary system. What has been tho result? Instead o# a temperance measure the sole purpose seems to be to further the sale of liquor, and today there is being quite as much, if not more, liquor sold in South Caroli na than ever before in its history. In addition to this the system has permeated the body politic of the State until it lias become a stencil in the nostrils of the decent manhood of the commonwealth. And it is getting a ranker hold every day in the year. The sentiment is growing that we must take the hull by the bonis, as it were, or the hull will gore the popu lace. No one need entertain the idea that those who desire a better state of affairs in regard to the liquor traf fic in Cherokee county are going to victory on flowery beds of ease. Every mother's son of the dispensary advocates will exert all the power that is within him to keep the pres et our readers: “Section 7.

In a meas ure we grant the first two arguments, hut deny that the last condition will exist and there will lie very little blind-tigerism if the officers will but do their duty. At any rate, we can make an effort to lessen the evil. With this end in view we call upon the ministers of the county to help in this laudable work; we call upon the manhood of the county to do its duty and if the officers of the county find there is a strong senti ment to back them up they will not be found wanting in doing their duty. Already nearly one hundred men have signed the call for the election. This call will in a measure test the manhood of the county. The election will test it in full. If, after four years, we find it unsatisfactory we can return to the old system; but un less we make an effort we will never know whether it will be best for us to have prohibition or the present system. Certain it is that the present law is not a temperance measure. Certain it is that it is a very great evil. Let us try to better our condi tion by at least giving another sys tem a fair trial. Come in, men, and sign the peti tion for the election. Let only those who are qualified to vote sign the pe tition, as we do not want any undue advantage of those who are opposed to the election. Let every man who is interested show his interest by com ing in and signing the petition. Later on we propose to give some figures In regard to the sales of liquor in this county that wijl astonish those •nforcement of the law, as above pro vided. And any amount expended in said county for the enforcement of the dispensary law shall lie refunded to the State treasurer upon the col lect ion of the tax above levied. Any county voting out a dispensary shall not thereafter receive any part of the surplus that may remain of the dis pensary school funds, after the defi Henries in the various e ninty -chuol funds have been made un, as provided by law.” PARKER’S HAIR BALSAM IClrfi?.*. * ami t>> u itifiei the hair, llhi'inotef a luxnrni.t growth. |Wt*vc;r Pali* to Hfstore Gray I Hair to ita Youthful Color.
