The regular constitutional meeting of the county Alliance was c held in the courthouse here ves t terdav. * , r The condition of the cotton j, crop as shown by the bureau re- | port posted this week is 75 as s compared with 82 for last year 0 same time.

At the present prices of this product he will realize about \ $72.00. Can this much money t be made from an acre of ground i planted in cotton ? 1 ( i Prohibition. 1 What is our li ht? Every- * thing RhowR its light ot blue, f yellow, etc. There must be red. j So everything sends some kind ot ) an odor. What is ours? Is it 1 sweet, or is it unpleasant in the j sight of other nations ? Our light { shows our attraction. If we send forth a light of love to good and honest government, we will at- < tract those who love such ; but if it is to the contrary?-drinking, fighting and all manner of dissipation?then we will attract that ( class; the lawless and disobedient . will say "the United States is the place for me; they drink and 1 fight and kill one another." The majority of our people must favor that way of living, or they wou'd elect such men to office as would i enact laws to prohibit such condnnt. The civil, honest and law abiding people will say, "I don't 1 want to go to the United States, , for there is too much drunken | ness, lighting, shooting, cutting, ' whipping and fussing at all times 1 of the night to disturb and to ! frighten the women and little ^ children. This is the light of ] the anti prohibitionist. A red light means danger. Wa know some of the anti-prohibi- , lionists are like the natural swine. < They do love stilled slop above any slop, and they love t? lie j around the stilled slop till they t get their stomach filled and then , they want to go to the lowest * down, moat dissipated mud hole to wallow and fight till they want } more stilled slop, and then back 10 ineir mua noie tney again go ? to lie and wallow until something 1 disturbs them. Through the country they go with all the uncivil language that could ever be thought of, shooting and disturb ing civil men, frightening women 8 and children. Our civil, la* ? abiding people can't go to their t beda at night without more or ] less dread of being disturbed by a drunken party or mob, or the i cries of some poor woman and | children, caused by some drunken party. I think it is time for the I honest people to awake to their ( condition and duty and take such i measures as will bring about i peace and civilization Mr. J. i R. M. refers to Solomon and Paul i and still on the 6th verse of the i 31st chapter of Proverbs. Maybe < he thinks he is one of them that ' is ready to perish, if so, let him I drink and forget his poverty and i remember his misery no more. I 1 think 1 have proved sufficiently, all points, both by scripture and | Webster's dictionary. And now let us give our support to pro- i hjhitiop as it is our only depen * lence. If we go down in defeat t would be far belter for us to lo 80 with the principles of pro lor libition on our bauner than to ide into a successful port, of the vhisky tratlic. ch Yours, D. P. Hardin.
