Learning and tobacco.

Hon. r. z Linney, who delivered the
address at the recent closing of the school
at Cornelius, spoke on stThe Value and
Dangers of Education" and the following
illustration which he used is now going the
rounds:
''In the .neighborhood of his mountain
home he once met a beautiful mountain
girl, lovely of face and form, but who had
her mouth full of toblccn, which she
chewed vo~raciously. Finding her ignor-
ant, he asked why she was lot in school
She replied, 81 have NO money to buy
books" He gave her 50 and eniMned her
to hasten aud go quickly ard buy books.
then go to school and learn. Later he met
her again. She had spent ten cents for
books and $I.90 for chewing tobacco.
When questioned concerning her conduct,
she made answer that she had come to the
conclusion that ten cents worth of 'larn-
ing" was worth less than 81. 80 worth of
chewing tobacco. She had this idea of the
value of education, and Linney predicted
that as the years pass she will have about
as much Sc Sc as a horsefy with its head

NEW AND NOVEL DEFENSE.
Henderson County BIockader Puts
up an Entirely New Plea
to Judge Boyd.

An entirely new defense was sprung
In United States district court yesterday
afternoon by an attorney for q man from
Henderson county charged with block
aiding. The alleged blockader, d young,
slim, good looking fellow, probably not
more than l9 years of age, went ON the
stand in his own behalf. He testified
that he knew nothing about making
liquor; hat he had never seer liquor
made; that while wandering around in
the woods he stumbled ON a deserted
distillery and started the thing going
when a event officer happened on the
scene. After the young fellow had left
the stard the attorney stated that was
think his client should be punished;
that bis client did not know anything
about making liquor; hat his client
started the distillery GU of a spirit of
curiosity and with no intent to violate
the law and that these facts should ap-
peal to the court. Judge Boyd declared
that a man poking around in the woods;
finding az illicit distillery and starting
the thing going did not appeal to him.
Revenue Officer Mccoy was called on
by Judge Boyd to answer q few ques-
tiOns and the officers answers sealed the
young blockader's fate. Mr.. Mccoy
said that the distillery was a small affair
but that the beer was good and that had
the operations continued good liquor
would have been made. That was APP
parently allJudge Boyd wanted to know.
''The prisoner is ordered into the GUS
tody of an officer" was the msnne in
which his honor disposed of the case.
Judge Boyd is going 70 teach the
blockaders of Western North Carolina a
lesson at this term of court. That he
intends TO punish severely was evident
from his remarks from the bench yes
terday afternoon. He declared hat he
was going to break up moOnshining il
possible. Heretofore, "said his honor,
II have been too easy-I have been too
induIgent. Men convicted of blockade
ing have been let off with q small fine
or q few days imprisonment. When free
they went righG back to making the IL
licit whlskey and laughed at the court.
That is all past. 1 intend to stop 1t now"
When a blockader faces Judge Boyd,
however, and the evidence against him
is slight he is better of without a lawyer.
Judge Boyd does not hesitate to speak
his mind, He promptly tells the district
attorney that there is no case against
the defendant; orders the Jury to return
a verdict of not guilty aud the prisoner
is Immediately released. A case of this
nature occurred yesterday.-Gazette-

FOR locAL4sELF GOVERNMENT,
Rutherford Republican Believes in
Abolishing the One.Man Power.

James A. Logan. formerly of Asheville
and now engaged in numbering in Ruther-
ford county, is in the city this week. Mt.
Logan is a well known young republican
and several years g made the race for the
legislature in Rutherford, reduring tie
democratic majority consid' r, bly,. Mr..
Logan is formulating = resolution that will
be introduced at the republican state con-
vention this year relative to the distribution
of patro, age. He said this morning that
he was opposed to one-man role a.d that
this view was concurred in by prominent
republicans in Rutherford, Polk a4d Hem
derson counties. Mr.. Logan's resolution
will call for local self-government re,ative
to the distribution of Offices including
fourth class postof1ces and other Federal
jobs, by providing that candid ties for ap-
pointment to office shall be voted for by
the republicans in the community in which
they reside and that the candidate recelv-
ing the highest number of votes shall be
recommended by the state chairman for
appointment. Mr.. Logan believes that
this method will result in much good to
the party in North Carolina and do away
with much bitterness engendered by ap
pointment made under the old system
