Sabbath day a:e only apparent,!

waiting breathless, expectant!
(the calm which precedes the j
storm) for t.ie tinal content,!
October 8, when the forces of!
right and wrong, good and evil, I
sin and righteousness, which j
have been organizing and recruiting,
and are straining every
nerve, shall meet at the polls
and decide which shall prevail
For those who fain would doubt
the promises of God to answer
prayer, I would point to the
scene witnessed repeatedly du>
ring the past two weeks of an
old lady, Mrs, Pease, originally
from New York,ninety years old,
who has for thirty years labored
auu piajfcu iuiuu^ii ?? vuiau o
Christian Temperance Union for
prohibition in Asheville, attending
mass meetings daily and
walking through the streets of
Asheville leading a host of convinced
and determined men on
to what we believe will prove
victory.
Opening of the Campaign.
The campaign was really
opened by His Excellency, Gov.
R. R, Glenn, who about two
months ago made two stirring
---and startling speeches here, one
migut be termed a sermon, but
though delivered in the First
Baptist Church and from a text
of Scripture to a packed house,
his tbcme was "North Carolina's
Need of Christian Young Gentlemen,"
an eloquent appeal for
young men who were to be the
strong men and soon the old
men of to-morrow, to live lives
j. above repoach, with a purpose
gf in view,-to be a help to their
fellow men and a credit to their
State. The best assistance th*t
he could give them to attain
such a sphere is life was to
point them to God and Christ.
"Citizens,Fathers and Mothers,"'
he said, "This you can neyer do
successfully, as long as you
have in your midst fifteen to
. eighteen licensed saloons wreck-!
ing the health impairing tlie
minds and damning the souls of
your boys."
T?at Sunday night Asheville
turned ont "en masse" to the
auditorium where was discussed
at length the liquor question in
most logical and convincing
argument. The whole city was
aroused, leading business men,
preacher*, private citizens held
a mass meeting, elected an
executive committee, appointed
a chairman and gave them instructions
to proceed with the
campaign.
The city canvassed resulted
in the securing of the requisite
member of qualified voters as
petitioners calling fot an election,
and these petitions presented
to the mayor and board
' af alderman secured the appointment
of October 8 as the day
for the election.
Rev. M. F, Ham and Other
Speakers.
One never wonld have thought
that Asbeville, a resort city,
populated by a migratory and
foreign element, could be raised
to the point of enthusiasm to
which this campaign stands at
present. But now to work, a
? financial committee must be
yf appointed, plans laid and the
people organized, so the services
of kW M. F. Ham of Kentucky
were secured. Mr. Ham, an
evangelist, is "also a successful
leader in this work, having
carried many elections in the
worst sections of his notorious
"Blue Grass" State, in Tenn.,
and other places. He is a man
of fine appearance, pleasing de*
j " *
Nwry and cultivate:! voice.
Lar?fe audiences have been held
and affected bv liis successful
rendition of the .ureat temperance
sone" "Down in a Licensed
Saloon."
For two weeks he lias been
ore'ank'intr the women and children,
ari^uinj^ for temperance
and prohibition and an>\verinir
the argument* of the antis.
Then came Stewart, a leading
* x i. . o ..?1,
temperance lecturer uiewuiu
(whom the writer was unfortun
ate enough to miss hearing)
J. C. Tucker, of Asheville and
Judge J. Pritchard, of the
U. S. Superior Court, all stating
and giving statistics to prove
that this city was suffering
from the blighting effects of the
damnable liquor traffic.
Judge Pritchard, an eloquent
speaker, read personal letters
from the respective mayors of
Greensboro, Faj'ettville, Charlotte,
N. C? Greenville, S. C. and
his native county, once known
as "Bloody Madison" when
whiskey was sold, telling of
how under prohibition, population
had increased, business
accumulated, taxes lowered and
morality and sobriety raised to
a decent standard.
The Irish Orator*
But the record-breaking scene
of the series of meetings which
the writer witnessed last Friday
ami which beggars description,
occurred when the Central Labor
Union, Odd Fellows, Kuights
of Pythias, Junior Order of
Umited American Mechanics and
other Order, met at their respec
tive halls and in bodies marched
to the auditoriem, bearing Rev
Rutledge, the Irish orator, m a
white draped chair, with flags
flying and bands playing, still
not disorderly and boisterous
but stern, resolute, determina
tion expressed in their faces, thai
the power vested in each as an
American citizen should on eJec
tion day be used to rid their
fiar city of a curse.
r-KSrlc? n o .rrl
1VI Vl'AO UII UVVV7WU4. VAJ
the Irishman's speech, A Christian,
a iellow-member with the
various orders, an orator, a bora
story teller and humorist, ht
handled the immense audience
in masterful style. First with
tacts and argument, then a
story and joke to illustrate .and
bear home his points; now some
sad incident of the suffering o!
wife and children, loss of home
and propertv^the result of the
drink habit on the part of the
husband, be held closer .attention
and kept feeling running
alternately from joy and pleas
are and applause to sorrow
sadness and even indignation.
He paid tribute to Rev? Ham's
successful organization ef the
prohibitionists, by the story oi
Uncle Rufus. This old darky
coming out of his cabin one
bright Sunday morning looked
through his spectacles over the
valheyund saw Rastus, the biggest
racal nigger come ambling
along the path. The first look
did not satisfy the old mam, so
he looked again, this time over
now under his glasses, and still
he seeirad puzzled. When Rastus,
dressed up in gala attire,
finally shuffled up*. Uncle
Rastus shouted out, (<Look beh
nigger you stop crossing dem
spenders in front." "Well, what
de matter wid dem spenders
crossed in front, Uncle Rufus"
asked Rastus, always ready to
worry the old man. "Why," he
says, "nigger, I can't tell if
yous'e coming or agwine."
A parade yesterday of 4 to 5
thousand men, women and children,
a lecture on the square
last night by Davis, the "Black
Spurgeon" of the South, the
killing of a negro in one ol the
saloons about the same time, all
served to work up excitement
to the fever point.
A mass meeting tonight, pa
raae tomorrow, holiday tor the
children Tuesday, and then will
come the final clash of forces at
the polls. Saloons and business
houses will close, men will make
%

v
speeches, women have pledged
themselves to stay by the polls
all day till the last opportunity n
closes of carrying1 this all im- L
portaat election. j
We wait anxious, impatient, I
but hopefully. f

Gu'f Ctream Fruit.
Tlie superiority of certain English
fruits has its origin i.i a cause little
sur-neeted. It is the blcse.l galf ^
dream which does it. Foreign g ow?rs
are every bit as acute as the Ikigish.
it inay he. but they lure not the
-iglit atmosphere. The gulf stream
mparts a beneficent humidity to our
itrr.osphere which results in our fruit
laving the thinnest and finest skins of
my lu the world. The English strawberry
Is without equal for flavor. The ^
Encli-h grai*. though it may not hare ?
ihe fine flavor of the Spanish, has the S
host skin. The French tomato is as J
thick skinned as the English field ?
frown. The English apple eclipses Its ?
rivals because of Its thin skin. Every S
fruit according to its climate. Grown ?
In a different atmosphere, the English {
apple would shrivel In a day; here. ?

stream. It ripens within the thinnest ?

A London Fog. *
Nothing has such a bewildering ef- {
Poet as fog. Only animate which find {
their way by scent can get about In It 2
with any certainty. Birds are entirely J
confused by It. Tame pigeons remain
u!l day motionless and half asleep. 2
huddled up., either In or Just outside
their pigeon houses. Chickens remain ?
motionless for boors during heavy fogR. j
No bird slag* or utters a call, perhaps 2
because It fears to betray Its where- 2
a bouts to an unseen foe. During one I
very thick fog a blind man was found
wandering about a certain district of
London. This man was in the habit of
coming up every day from a suburb,
carrying notes and paVcels, and had
scarcely ever lost his way before.
Asked why he had gone astray (for be
was quite blind, and It was supposed

ground "sounded quite differently."?

The late Andrew J. Dam, a well (
known hotel man of New York, was, ,
at the time of the civil war. proprietor
of a hotel In New Bedford. A number
of colored citizens Interested lm the
formation of a military company called
upon him and Informed him that they
would be glad to form the company 1
and allow him to suggest the name. I
provided be would pay for the equip- j
menta, \
"Congressman X IX Elliott has fitted
out a company of -white men, and
throughout the war they will be known
as the Elliott Light Guards," said the
spokesman of the colored men.
"Well," said Dam, "If I am to equip
and organize this colored company, I
shall insist that they be known as the |
Dam Black Guards." '
The company was never organized.?

If a bullet to be fired by a marksman
Is coated with a fine paste of gunpowder
and gum, says the Dundee
Advertiser, and then with a thin covering
of some friction powder, the latter,
as the ballet passes out of the gnu
barrel, will Ignite, and In turn sot fire
to the gunpowder paste. The bullet
will then leave a long stream oi! smoke
behind It, Indicating the exact course
It has taken and enabling the marksman,
