needed to apply all over the State,
and the next Legislature will be
asked for such a law. Touching
upon the enforcement of the
liquor law, he said that the law
regards the liquor seller just as
it regads the thief and the forger,
and when the citizens regard
them in the same way it will
make it much easier to enforce
the law. Officers need the NOR
al support of the citizens. The
average officer is ahead of the
average citizen, said Mr.. Davis,
in enforcing the prohibition law.
But it is getting easier to catch
liquor sellers, it is easier to get
evidence now than formerly.
And the jug trade, he declared,
must be stopped.
A fact that is not generally
known and that surprised his
audience was brought out when
Mr.. Davis said that there are to-
day in the United States 1929
dry counties, counties in which
liquor is not sold, against 1156
wet counties; and dry counties
are being made all the time.
About two-thirds Of the Nation
is now prohibition territory, So
or 60 per cent. of the people Of
the United States now live under
prohibition.
Mr.. Davis declared that the
liquor traffic is doomed in the
Nation; it is just a matter of a
little more manhood, little more
work. In a short while no polit-
ical party will regard the influ-
enc of the liquor forces, which
is declining and is not now much
regarded. He believes that in
side of three years the Inter.
State Commerce Commission will
afford protection. Referring to
t the claim sometimes made that
there is less business under pro.
hibition, he declared that he has
: gathered statistics and has net
found a single instance where
bank deposits have not grown
S has not found a single place
y where they are not larger thar
e they were last year.
:. Mr.. Davis mentioned T h {
I American Issue, a monthly mag
e azine which he edits in the inter
!. est Of prohibition and which is S
n the year. Messrs. w. G.. Jack
o son and John Gilmore were asket
o to wait upon the audience witt
IS cards which Mr.. Davis has 70
le pledges for contributions to tn
r cause, to be paid during the year
u u and about $40 were subscribed
81 The meeting was closed wit
y prayer by Rev. F. Weiss, paste

A PROHIBITION TALK.
Work to be Done in the Interest
of Prohibition Report Of the
Union Meeting Sunday Af-

AS mentioned in Mondays
Robesonian, Rev. R. L. Davis,
of Wilson, superintendent of the
State Anti. Saloon League, deliv-
cred a lecture in the interest of
the cause he represents in the
court house Sunday afternoon.
1t was in the nature of a union
service and was advertised to
begin at 3 o'clock, but owing to
the fact that the afternoon was
rainy and very disagreeable the
people were slow about gather
ing and the meeting was not
called to order until about $50
O'Clock. The crowd was net very
large, but those who were pres
ent enjoyed Mr.. Davis talk very
much and learned some things
about the prohibition fight they
did not know. The meeting was
called to order by Rev. E. M.
Hoyle, pastor of the Methodist
ch urch. "America" was sung by
the audience standing, Rev. R.
E. Sentelle, superintendent Of
the Lumberton graded school,
led in prayer, and Mr.. Hoyle in
troduced the speaker.
Mr.. Davis started with some
pleasantly about Lumberton be-
ing so dry that the people could
not come out on such a wet after
noon, and then launched into his
subject. He said that the fight
was still on between the prohibi-
tion forces and those who want
license or local option, notwith-
standing the fact that we have a
law on our statute books against
the sale and manufacture Of
liquor in the State. The fact
that we have the law gives us
every opportunity, but there is
still work to be done, and ever
more legislation to be obtained
5 AS an instance of the fact tina
those opposed to no license hav'
: not gone to sleep, he called at
t tention to a meeting held in Hen
derson Saturday, when Mr.. w
: A. Self, Of Hickory, addressed
meeting held in the interest O
local option. He urged the ne
cessity Of keeping on the watcl
to see that men who favor locs
IS option do not represent us in tn
y Legislature, for if a certain elias
I of men are elected the prohib
ton law would not stand. H
"A said he was not alarmed, howe
: er. for while a few countie
might send men to the Legisl;
ture who would be in favor
repeating the present law,
does not believe that enoue
= counties would send men of tn
p kind to have the power to do

fsw York, an. 22.-ln one OF the i
ssphsn ssyiums of Brooklyn there is
xt present little boy, about 5 years
old, whose fate is rather peculiar AMI
p1thstic in spite of certain ludierous
fsatases. The boy is healthy young
stsY and bright for his age and there Is
really nothing particularly remarkable
about him. He is scarcely entitled to
beauty prize, but little boys of that
age are rarely famous for their beauty.
Jasper, that is the little boy name, Is
perhaps little under the average, due
to fle crop of freckles which he ac
aaired while living on farm near Port
lan6, Ne, last summer.
Jasper has neither father nor mother
Ind has spent nearly all his life IN or

the other, inspected the boy and lnvar-
iabiv withdrew their offer, after they
had seen the big and highly colored
frechles upon the boys face. The ma
t.on and the nurses at the Brooklyn
institution where Jasper is temporarily
hept, have tried every known remedy
fer freckies, but without success Ihey
- well as the boy himself became thor

YOUNGSTERS BOMBARD
ACADEMY D0RM|T0RY

For throwing rocks at the dormitory
at the st. Joseph academy last night
seven small boys are in trouble and
will be required to account for them
selves before County Judge Gilliland,
as Judge of the juvenile court. The
mischief occurred about 10 o'clock
last night and was evidently caused
by the desire of the boys to initiate a
band of Indians on the warpath. Ac-
cording to the account Of the affair
given the officers, they threw rocks
at the roof and walls Of the academy
building and at the same time indulg-
ed in yelling.
Aroused by the trouble, the sisters
at the academy summoned the night
officers and four Of the boys were
caught. They were Ralph Knight,
Anton vey, jr., Harry Call and Otis
Kirkpatrick. Three others who were
implicated but were not caught at the
time were Otis Hampton and two
GULL boys. All seven of the boys
were summoned to appear before Re-
corder Fitz Gerald this morning at
o'clock. At that time the judge turn
ed the case over to John HALEY, jr.
with instructions to have the affair
handled by the juvenile court.

Marshfield, Ore.-Charged with a
murder committed in another part of
the country IA years ago, William AL
len, who for long time has been a
resident of Coos county, is held at the
city jail 1t is believed that Allen
murdered Tom Gibbs at Exeter, come
here to get Allen.
The prisoner says he is the man
who killed Gibbs and the description
sent from here by City Marshal John
Carter to the sheriff at Cassville, Mo,
seems to tally.
The connecting of Allen with the
crime came about in peculiar way
I He has been working about the lum-
ber camps in this county. Two weeks
ago he was arrested for drunkenness
| and while in the city prison he talked
with another prisoner, boasting that
he was a bad man and stating that he
had committed the Exeter murder
The prisoned told Marshal Carter
who released Allen, but kept watcf
i en- him, and in the meantime gather
| ed what facts he could, and when the
i sheriff at Cassville wired, in response
/ to an inquiry, that Allen was wanted
| for the Gibbs murder. Allen was ar
rested and put into jail.
