The Prohibition Question.

"O1e question to which | am Cevoting as
much of my time and attention as ! give
to the railway rate matter is that of pro-
hibitiOu OF the liquor traffic in the state.
| ne d not say that | am and always have
been an ardent prohibltionist, but | am not
approaching the subject in North Carolina
in any partisan spirit nor with bigotry.
Neither is the religious side emphasized in
the present crusade. and the moral aspect
of the question is hardly touched. We look
al the liquor traffic from purely utilitarian
standpoint. a matter of economics and
common sense. and great many of our
people are coming to look at 1t in the same
way They have come to the conclusion
that they have spent enough money for
whisky, and that it is time for them to
quit and TO use their money for painting
their houses, clothing their children and
making improvements on their farms.
IF we are to have prohibition | do not
want it forced upon the people by the leg
islature. as Georgia did. but l want the
cons mt of the people, obtained by a pieb!s
cite, a popular vote.
AS local option works now. all that is
good about il is the theory 1t would be
all right if the wet towns would let the
dry towns alone. But they won't. Liquor
dealers in the wet towns are continually
shipping intoxcants to the dry towns, and
they are thus Juggling the whole state.
Cessation of the liquor traffic will be an
economical boon to the state, and | ear
nestly hope that we shall get it, and l be-
ieye We shall.

Feeling of State Pride.

I'm my speeches to the people 1 have
dwelt largely upon this question of the
liquor traffic but l have also spoken at
length to the young people of the state,
both men and women. ! am endeavoring
to wake in them feeling of responsibility
for the states future, conviction that it
is upon them that the burdens of citizen
ship must rest, and that it behooves them
to buckle down and make themselves fac
tors in the states progress. l advise them
20 get to work as possible. to seek
employment of some sort and then to praC-
tice the virtue of thrift, working for the
sake of the state as we'll as for themselves
If a man IS proud of his state he amounts
10 something, and If l implant this
feeling of state pride in the minds and
hearts Of our young people, / feel that l
shall have gone a long way toward assuring
the future of North Carolina.
The state is advancing fast and there
is no reason why it should not take longer
and more rapid strides"

when h recorder fined him for the
second offense he appealed through his
counsel to the upper court.
When the case came up on the appeal
the original complaint was missing, and
az the time 1t was said to be lost, and
under the circumstances the court set

Recorder Cadmus claims he gave the

sudden and sensational ending of the
September term of the Camden County
Criminal Court yesterday, whenP Prose-
cutor Henry S. Scovel, ex-Assembly-
man, and Judge C. V. D.. Joline
differed sharply as to two verdicts rem
dered, and the prosecutor refused to
try any more cases. The verdicts which
the prosecutor took exception to were
the acquittal of Annie Fisher on a
charge of stealing a raincoat and 81
and of Paul w. Grant and Hannah
Cheeseman, who were accused of IL
licit relations.
After a conference between the
prosecutor and Judge Joline the latter
turned to a jury that had just been
drawn to try another petty criminal
case and said:
"I feel it my duty to say to the
jurors that the court does no agree
with the prosecutor as to the verdicts
brought in today. ] think the jurors
are honorable men n that they rem
