EDITOR ENTERPRISE :-Once more will |
try to give my Northern friends some in
formation about the crops and other gen
eral items of the South. IL has been
very wet season. The Oldest inhabitants
say they never saw so much rain. The
corn looks well, for the wet weather. Po-
tatoes are nice. Oats are good, and large
fields of winter oats are cut. The spring
oats are getting ripe, Wheat was quite
good and is all harvested. There are some
nice fields of grass and clover being cut.
All kinds of grasses will grow here as
we'll as in the North, if given a chance.
There is Timothy grass growing here that
stands three feet high, the heads eight
inches long.
Mr.. G. Boone went away from here so
disgusted with the South that he said Mr.
Fosters land would not raise white beans.
| thing If he will come down here this
fall that we can give him good supply to
eat. We can raise as good crops here as
in the North. when the land is properly
cultivated. The land has been cropped
and nothing put back to bring itup. If
the Northern land was used In that way
think it would not raise white beans. The
fruit is good, and plenty OF It. Cherries
are all picked, Blackberries can be gath
cred by the bushels, Pears, plums and
peaches are plenty.
The district school system is In bad
condition. The farms are so large that
) there are not scholars in reasonable dis
lance to have as many schools as there
ought to be, Therefore private teachers
are employed,
The close Communion Baptist church
near here, is nicely located, with good
> church, good singing and music, and Sab
bath school, and good attendance o
nice, intelligent looking people, and goot
preaching. The NJ, E, church, at the sta
|, station. is nicely located in beautiful oal
grove--a very good church, but is not II
as flourishing condition as the othe
Church. The minister seems very earnes
and energetic In his work, They suppoi
a good parsonage, pleasantly located.
The school system and the Church ca

the hardy house against which the police
have declared war. IL is noticed that Pro
vast IL not included as one of the proprie-
tors hut he runs the Olympic hall, adjoin-
ing the dance hall. This new move ON
the part OF the proprietors of the hurdy
house Is an evident attempt at
evadinR the law. The archway he
tween the saloon and dance hall
has been boarded up and there is no
direct communication between the two
places. Hut the only difference is that af-
ter the dance the girls take their partners
where the men treat their frail compan-
ions az before. The dance hall and sa-
loon are reached from h street by the
same stairway, which descends tn u hall.
and from this hall adjoining doors lead to
the "dancing parlors" and the saloon.
County Attorney Baldwin was asked Sy
hurdy house proprietors would be able to
evade the law in this manner. .
~ think not" said Mr.. Baldwin,. 1.-The
law plainly says that no one shall be al
lowed To do Indirectly what the law for
bids them to do directly. This new move
ON the part of the hurdy house people is
an evident attempt To accomplish Indirect
~ what the law does not allow them tn do
directly. They are. therefore, still liable
aud il necessary we can convict them on
the law which forbids the employing of
females in places where liquor IN solo.
This evasion is no more tn he tolerated
than the evasion sometimes resortcd To i'm
prohibition states, where. u paper of pins
is sold and a glass of whiskey given AWAY
with the pins"
The hurdy house proprietors seem ia
have gained courge from the fact that they
were discharged by Judge Ncwkirk las'
might. But they were only discharged foi
the reason that no complaint had been
dra wn up against them. The judges time
has been entirely occupied with the Bar
riere trial and the accumulated city bust
ness. The hurtly people have been KEEP
out of court only because of the lack al
time to attend to their ease. The csss
against Massie is still pending and the tria
will he set for an early date.
The determination of the police is Il
continue arresting Mcssrs. Provost ans
Massie as long as they continue tn defy nj
to cvade the law.
