LOCAL OPTION LEGAL
Judges Unanimously Declare Recent
Election as Being Constitutional

Judges Unanimously Declare keceHg
Election as Being Constitutional
The conssitutionality of the local option
law was upheld in an opinion handed
down in General Sessions Court Thurs
day in Wilmington. Chief Justice Lore
aud Associate Judges Pennwill and Grubb
sitting. Judge Pennewil read the opin-
ion d tie court. It was 1920 o'clock
when Chief Justice Lore announced that
Judge Pennewiil would deliver the opin-
ion Of the court on the question. Il was
masterful opinion, covered every ques-
ton raised by the attorneys interested,
and was clear in its interpretations and
conclusions. 1t was the opinion OF the
court that the local option law was not OBJ
noxious to the constitution of the United
States; that it was in conformity with the
state constitution; that the legislature had
power to submit the question to the voters
Of the state at special election, and that
the constitutional convention did not in
tend that the question should be submit
ted at general election only. Then the
court upheld the constitutionality of the
law and overruled the demurrers filed.
The constltutionality Of the law was attack
by Willard Salisbury two weeks ago on
demurrers fled to indictments and infor-
nations charging John Wesley Fountain,
James Mason and Vincent Ballard, with
having violated the laws under which the
special election was held.

GROUND HOG DAY

Tomorrow Sunday will be Candlemas
or Ground Hog Day, and, according to an
old adage, if the sun shines the winter
will continue for six weeks, and il it is
cloudy actual winter weather will pc
considered at an end. According to the
Housekeeper for February, the ground
hog legend originated in this way:
February I'd, or Candlemas Day, was
a fayorite holiday, marked by public
gaiety and ceremonies in Europe during
the Middle Ages. 1t is still marked there
by the closing of banks and offices, but
not otherwise, outside of the reading oil
church services. In the church calendar
it is known as the Feast Of Publication
of the Virgin, and was first Instituted by
Pope Sergins, about the year 6S4, A. y.
The popular name of the day is derived
from the early custom of lighting up the
churches with candies and carrying these
in procession on this festival.
AS to the weather superstition that
gives to Candlemas the name of ground
hog day." that is world wide fable. In
Germany it is the badger that breaks
bis winter nap on this day to essay the
thankless task of weather prophecy; in
France and Switzerland it is the marrmot
in England the hedge hog. Observation
shows that none of these small animals
do thus observe the date fixed, also that
the weather on this date does not ac-
curately foretell that of the following two
months, as is supposed. But it is gen.
eraI truth that in temperates warm and
sunny weather in the first half Of Feb
ruary is apt to be followed by change
and cool spring, and on this fact our
ground hog and badger stories are founded.

I'm nearear my home than ever;
When the last one comes, Til say hurrah
And I'll sing it forever and forever"
tAlfred Cox, you're getting old,
But hardly seem to know it;
IT'S fact-your friends must be told
Or they would hardly know it,
''Seventy six years is big slice Of life
You've had your full share of the bread
You've eaten il in gladness-not strife
And this is why you're not dead"
Your head is not as old as your heels,
And your heart is younger than either,
Now this is the secret of your good feels
Not your gold nor your bonds, no,
/ neither
Keep young, cousin al, keep young,
Keep young, if You die in the harness.
Grow old with grace, keep young, old
boy,
Keep young and you'll die in the. har-
