HELLER, Manager, North Carolian was carried for prohibition Wednesday by a majority estimated at from 40.000 to 42.000. The Prohibition ticket has carried seventy eight out of the ninety-eight counties by majorities approximating 48.500. The anti-Prohibition ticket has twenty ' counties by majorities approximating : 5.600. This calculation is partly based | on estimates and the Prohibition lead-! ers say it will reach 50.000. The elec- i tion passed off very quietly, no disturbance of any moment being reported. The total vote cast in Ute state was about 1*5.000. Senator LaFollette certainly hasn’t added to his reputation as a statesman by engaging in the herculean task of talking to death a measure that the majority of the sante is bent upon making a law Whether the ■ measure be "good, bad or Indifferent" is not the question in considering the Wisconsin senator's filibustering performance. The members of both houses of congress are intensely anxious to adjour- v -::t not until the emergency currency bill shall have been passed. For a sick man to stand in the way of all this may be heroic but it is very far from showing good judgment.—South Bend Times.

It is unnecessary to discuss in detail the majority report of the house committee appointed to investigate the petition of the American Newspaper Publishers’ association to remove the tariff on wood pulp and print paper. The committee was named by Speaker Cannon to find some sort of an excuse for not granting the petition, and did its work well enough to block any legislative interference with the paper trust’s protective schedules. The paper trust won easily, and the high price remains. It is asserted by men who know, that the paper trust clears sixty millions annually. A corporation does that could put up a stiff fight against any change in tariff schedules.—Anderson Bulletin. Mr. and Mrs George Steele and baby. Mrs. Sadie Cowley and daughter Maude, were at Ossian yesterday visiting with relatives. a 1 THE BEST PILLS EVER SOLD. “After doctoring 15 years for chronic indigestion, and spending over two hundred dollars, nothing has done me as much good as Dr. King's New Life Pills. 1 consider them the best pills ever sold, writes B.
