Special trains were run over the

Bamberg had no special trains and
our people had to spend a night in

the Fair, or drive to Denmark early
in the morning and take the Sea-

The prohibition legislation in Okla

the sale of liquor. and. without intend

article of commerce, with the right of

whisky advertisements and otherwise
promote the sale of whisky. Judge
Strang was formerly 2on the Kansas SUI

right straight back to childhood and
search round in memory's closets for
some curiosity of childhood's game to
play. Not infrequently the man of the

climbed officially, when he has time TO

wept himself to sleep in her grading

seemed so real as to all but break his

IN NORTH CAROLINA.

The overwhelming victory for prohi-

everyone who has not kept close watch
South. While North Carolina has never
said as much about it as Kentucky.
there has been quite as much whisky
making going on there, and even more
moonshining. After one of the hardest
fights in the history of Prohibition the
drys have carried IS out of the %
Counties of the State by majority ap-
proximating $500. The National Liquor
Dealers Association did its utmost not
only to save North Carolina, but with
reference to the effect of the vote upon
Virginia. The AUTHORIZATION ticket
carried only 20 Counties, and these by
such slender majorities that the total
will not exceed $500 The Prohibition
movement was led by Gov. Glenn and
United States Senator Simmons, who
set out to secure majority of at least
$4,000, so as to "settle the question
definitely" Twenty-four years ago the
question was up before the people Of
the State, and they decided by heavy
majority to go wet Now even the ban
ner moonshine Counties, such as Bun
combe, have gone dry by majorities

Capt. J. A. T. Hull, who has so ably
represented the Seventh District of Iowa
for many years, is a candidate for re-
nomination. 1t is to be hoped that the
Republicans of his district will so fully
appreciate the distinguished services
that he has rendered as to make no
doubt of his being returned to Con-
gress. Capt Hull was not only a SOL
der of unusually fine record in the 23d

distinctly leading men in Congress. and
his Craftsmanship of the Military Com

he could render important services to

properly be in the scrap heap. but are
kept as reserve for cases of rush. This
