There is a spirit of compassion, a very strong intellect, and yet there may be a very jealous or quarrelsome manner that may lead the native into difficul ties.

Lady EUca’oetll Bowes-Lyua, OTHERS’ VIEWS RECALLS DAYS BEFORE PROHIBITION To the Editor: I wish to call to the attention to our people the facts in regard to some statements made by Mr. Connell of Warrenton in his articles on the con- . ditions which he claims were brought 1 about by the 18th Amendment, or < commonly called prohibition, etc. I am not acquainted with Mr. Con nell, but from his articles he must be a young man, and one that was not familiar with the conditions that ex- 1 isted before the enactment of the 18th ( amendment and for the benefit of those that do not know those condi- j tions, I will recall just a few of them. I lived in Tennessee, four miles from ] the city of Cleveland, which is about 1 the size of Henderson, and that time before the automobile, when the peo ple traveled with the horse drawn ve- ' hides, etc., it was not safe for moth- ; er or my sisters, and smaller brothers to be on the highways, or on the ’ streets of the town after noon on Sat- ; urdays, and other public days, the drinking crowd were racing their horses, shooting at things along the | way home from town, and the Bap- ' tist church at my old home still bears ' the shot marks of the pistols through the front doors, and walls today that were made by those people. And I know that those conditions were no exception there, but existed everywhere, for this week a good lady living on my street in Henderson told * me that she lived here during the sa- ( loon days, and that she never dared to go up the streets after noon on 1 Saturdays, or Saturday night on ac count of the drunks, and the swearing, etc. , And of course the people that are liquor will tell you that we do not , want the open saloon, but unfortunate- \ ly they can not be trusted for after the great defeat that they received at ] the hands of the voters of this State < when it was brought to the vote of , the people, instead of abiding by that referendum of the beople. they imme- J diately began all over again to try to . break down the laws, and the will of the people and through the legisla- ( ture bring about, their wishes. And when they clamored for beer, , and it was given them, they immedi- j ately wanted it made stronger, etc., £ which like the story of the camel in ? the story of the desire, when he want- j ed hi 3 nose in the tent out of the cold when that was granted wanted his front foot etc., until his whole body r was in the tent and his master crowd- f ed out So when we give them one inch of ground they take more until f in the end they will not be satisfied g until they can buy, sell, make and drink it to their hearts desire, etc. And I agree with him that the con- { ditions are deplorable, but not with t him that the remedy is to repeal the laws but enforce them, and each fair minded person that has paid any at tention to the present conditions know that they have steadily grown worse as the liquor forces have been grant- ( ed their wishes and desires to sell and J traffic with drink, etc. I saw more drunks, and heard more * profane language in front o I our store, and around the warehouses on ‘ my way home in the week following the sale of beer in Henderson than I had seen in a year or more before the |' sale of beer, and that condition still prevails, as well as grows worse as the alcohol per cent of beer is increased, etc. And if the liquor people tell you that the law can not be enforced how ( when all liqtifei is illegal, how do they expefct to stop boot-legging when li- j quor is sold, for every one that is caught drunk, or with whisky will tell you that they purchased it at liquor stores, etc. •But in order not to make this article too long I will give you a few true figures that are vouched for, by court records and admitted by the liquor men to be true, and since other states that have the state stores are better prepared to tell us the results I will give you a few from their court rec ords. . Arrest for drunken drivers in Ro chester. N Y., increased 1300 per cent deaths from drinking drivers increas ed 90 per cent in the State of Oregon. Arrests for drunkness increased in Denver Colorado from 142 the month before repeal to 444 the following month, etc. Arrests for drunkness increased in Biuefield, W. Va., 260 per cent, Dan ville, Va., 139 per cent since repeal the Kelly Institute patients have increas ed 55 per cent. Do we want these conditions in our county? Then the remedy is enforcement And not re peal, the way to stop water from get ting through the levees or dams along the Mississippi river is to plug the leaks, and not to remove the sand bags, and those advocating the sale of whisky are doing it for their own persona! interests, so they can sell it and make a living easier, and they are willing to do that at the cost of the wrecking of the lives of the youth of our land, as well as running the risk of killing the rest of us on the high ways by drunken drivers, and while you and I may leave whisky alone it will not leave us alone. So let each law abiding citizen, whether man or woman go to the poles when the time comes, and show i the gentleman from Warrenton, that we are capable of running our own ' county without advice from the out s side and while we are not content with • the present conditions we do not wish - to exchange them for worse, or as the ■ saying goes jump out of the pan In the fire.

He was destined to found the Methdist Episco pal church when he was 35, the year he left the Anglican church, in which his father and grandfather had been ministers, and which he himself had served as a missionary in America. He traveled 2500,00 miles and preach ed 40,000 srmons —at least 15 a week, yet he had time to write English, La tin, French, Greek and Hebrek gram mars, a dictionary, histories of Rome and England and numerous other works. John Wesley was the 15th of 19 chil dren of Rev. Samuel Wesley, who had so many children that like the old lady in the shoe, he didn’t know what to do. When John was two. the fath er was jailed for debt. The old man felt like Job, and published a sympa thetic book about him the summer he died. 200 years ago this year.

But the battle of Bunker Hill was never fought! The engagement given that name actually took place at Breed’s Hill, some distance away, and nearer Charlestown, Mass., which was burned that day by the British. The British won a victory, but the British commander. Maj. Gen. Thomas Gage, 54. was removed, from his post because it wasn't a rout.

In dian principality, superseded the gen erals and held her capital with one regiment of infantry against super ior forces for days, then put herself at the head of the soldiers in a des perate counter-assault which cost her life. June 17, 1880 —John Augustus Sutter died in Washington penniless and de mented. aged 577. The discovery of gold in California in ’49 on his ranch had ruined him! He was one of the richest men in the country when the strike was made; within 10 years aft er he was broke. Death came on the fifth anniversary of the second biggest gold strike in the U.

What Do You Know About North Carolina? By FRED H. MAY 1— Why did Governor Tryon dis charge Colonel Johnson, of Bute county? ' 2 When was every town in North Carolina with a population of as many as 60 families entitled to send a re. presentative to the general essembly? 3 Why was the lack of good sea ports ap aid to the early settlement of North Carolina? 4 >How much did wage earners in North Carolina industry increase be tween the years of 1900 and 1925? 5 ‘What happened to the plan of Governor Dobbs to establish Tower Hill as the capital of the province? 6 Why was the first law* book printed in North Carolina known as | “The Yellow Jacket.”? ANSWERS 1— On March 19, 1771. Governor Tryon called on the various counties for volunteers for his campaign a gainst the Regulators. He issued a requisition to Colonel Johnson, of Bute county (now Warren and Frank lin) for fifty men which the Colonel failed to muster. On May 25 an order saying that “His Excellency was pleased tod ischarge him from the command of the Bute regiment and to appoint Thomas Eaton Esquire to be Colonel in his room.” 2 A law was adopted in 1717. giv ing such recognition. In se\ r eral cases, as with the Town of Brunswick in 1714, special acts were passed allow ing representation from towns of less population than sixty families 3 Agricultural writers before the Revolutionary War claimed that the lack of seaports had forced the set tlers further back from the coast and made them, first of all, make their livings from the farms. Away' from navigation there was no industry, farming was relied upon strictly, and living at home practiced. 4 In 1900 North Carolina had 72,- 000 wage earners with an annual in come of $14,000,000. In 1925 there were 173,000 wage earners with an income of $127,000,000. 5 ‘Upon Governor Dobbs recom mendation on August 6. 1765, of es. tablishing Tower Hill, a few miles west of Kinston, as the permanent seat of government, the London Board of Trade asked for an expres sion from the people of the province. Upon this request the general assem bly passed an act provided for the erection of suitable buildings and for removing from New Bern to the new location. In anticipation of the act Governor Dobbs had made the per sonal purchase of 850 acres of land, including Tower Hill. Later when it began to soak in that the governor was planning to clean up financially the assembly petitioned the King to disallow the act, which he did. 6 In 1752 James Davis, public prin ter at New Bern, printed the first re visal of the laws of the Province ever published. It was bound in yellow covers. For this reason it became known as “The Yellow Jacket.” Dr. Archibald Henderson of the University of North Carolina, mathe matician, noted writer on literature, born at Salisbury, N.

Sterilization Law Simplified By New Changes In the Sir Walter Hotel. Hally Dispatch B»rea«, BY J. C. EASKERVILL. Raleigh, June 17.—The State steril. ization law passed in 1933 was amend ed by the 1935 General Assembly so that individuals may have steriliza tion operations performed merely on the consent of their parents, guar dians or next of kin, without having to go through all the red tape and procedure formerly required, R. Eu gene Brown, secretary of the State Eugenics Board, pointed out today. Until this law was amended, it was necessary to file a petition for per mission to have a sterilization board 15 days in advance of a hearing be fore the board. But now petitions, signed by parents or guardians may be presented direct to the board with out filing any notice. If the person for whom the sterilization operation is desired is more than 21 years of age and has never been formerly com mitted to any of the state hospitals for the insane or to the Caswell train ing school, he or she must also sign the petition But if the persons for whom the operations are proposed are inmates of any of the State hospitals or of the Caswell Training School, this is taken as evidence that they are men. tally incompetant so that they do not need to sign the petitions, Brown pointed out. So far exactly 200 persons have had sterilization or asexulaizat.ion opera tions performed on them in North Carolina, 151 of which have been per formed since the enactment of the 1933 law. In addition to these, the Eu genics Board has ordered 50 addition al. operations which have not yet been performed but ''will be in the near fu ture, which will bring to total num ber to 250. At the present time 20 applications for sterilization operation* are in Mr. Brown’s files to be presented to the eugenics board when it meets here Wednesday, June 19 and there may be seven or eight more applications re ceievde before that date. Os the 20 applications now on hand, only two request operations for inmates of State institutions, all the others com ing from persons out in the coun. ties, Brown said.
