We clip the following from the
Western Carolina Democrat. of Her.
dersonville, North Carolina:
The search and seizure law passed
by the state general assembly last
winter became effective on the first
of this month. There is now little
reason for the existence of blind t.
gers in any town or city that has ca
| pable officers to do their duty
This it the truth in nutshell.
Before the passage OF this law the
officers were at a disadvantage They
were not allowed to make search un-
Ger direct status and even when
search was made there was no pro-
! vision to make the liQuDr and appa-
ratus for selling liquor evidence of
guilt, and plenty Of cases are on re-
cord where faithful nolice officers
We're advised by sham drug stores
and sham grocery stores not TO be
hang ing around there bat TO stay on
the streets where they night find
some disorder. But now the law
gives every officer authority under
warrant to make search at any sus-
picious place. More than this, the
law provides that railroads, express
companies, or other public carriers,
shall keep q booze book" in which
full record shall be kept Of all re-
ceipts and deliveries Of liquor, show
ing the signature Of the parties to
whom delivered. and such booze
books are open for the Inspection Of
any officer or citizen Of the state of
Nort! Carolina, so that is impossible
for liquor from Virginia or other
states to come to North Carolina
without Us being known.
The faithful officers over the state
are now va ching very closely the
receipts Of liquor At their own points
and atso at nearby points. and are
thus able to quickly suspect the man
who is getting it for sale. 4 casual
reading Of the papers shows unmi5-
tallably that by watching these re-
cords the officers aTe picking the
blind tigers up every day.
This law, Cooperating with the
Webb law, takes away the last ex-
cuse Of the officer for not enforcing
the law, and f the law = not erfor-
ced one Of two things IS self-evident;
either the officer is incompetent or
he is in league with the lawless busi-
ne3s, ard in either case he ought to
be put out of Office as quickly as
possible. With this law temperance
workers will accept 10 excuse from
the officer who is charged with the
enforcement Of the Law. See to it
that the officers o. your community
are busy-Sel.

the Halifax chapter on Saturday,
April 26th. All the chapters sent

The meeting was held in the hand
some new court house, the court
room Of which had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion by the
members of the local chapter, the
railing around the bar being especi-
ally effective, draped with red and
white bunting intertwined with
great quantities of red and white
roses, making an exceedingly at
tractive interior.
The meeting was called to order

ing read by the secretary, Miss Gary

given by local Daughters. most Of
which had some bearing on Shiloh.
The paper by Mrs. E. L. Whitehead,
which appeared in that days issue
Of the Enfield Progress, and read by
Mrs. E. L. Travis, was listened to

one feature of the day was enjoyed
more than the talk by Mrs. Wilkins,
Of Weldon, VINO gave some personal
"reminiscences of the war between
the States.
After the business was finished the
Halifax Daughters served an elegant
luncheon consisting of q salad course
with coffee, followed by cake and

lonial Church can still be seen. The
tomb of Joseph Montfort, the first
and ony Provisional GraLd Master

which was also visited, and proved
of much interest to the visitors.

Surroundings, added to the cordial
welcome and gracious hospitality Of

Shiloh Day." the memory of which
will ever bring pleasure to those
so fortunate as TO attend.

THE GRAND JURY REPORT
THAT CAUSED THE RUcTIoNs

From insinuations which were made
Tuesday night at the meeting of the
Six o clock Club held in the Methodist
church in this city, it is evident that
the judgment of the grand jury, which
recently adjourned, did not meet in
every respect with the opinion Of two
or three of the brethren present, who
spoke in uncomplimentary terms Of that
body.
The dissatisfaction evidently arose
from report rendered by the grand
jury which reads as follows:
The Report.
During the present session of the
grand jury there have been numerous
persons who voluntarily appeared be.
fore us with complaints of minor ma.
ture which affect only incorporated cit.
les in the county. We deem complaints
Of this character should more properly
be handled under the police power Of
incorporated cities at the expense Of
such cities, and not at the expense of
the county at large. If, however, such
municipalities will not redress grev.
ances of this character the matter
might be left open for the next grand
jury,
Notwithstanding the remarks Of q
few Tuesday night at the Six O'clock
club, there seems practically a unanimi.
ty of opinion among people generally
that the grand jury is to be congratulate.
ed in the economic manner in which
that body conducted its recent sitting
which, as the records disclose, has re.
suited in one of the least expensive ses.
sions Of the circuit court held for some
time as far as the taxpayers are con.
cerned
When W. Il. Keycs, deputy district
attorney for Marion county, was asked
by reporter Of The Journal, what he
thought Of the assertion made by a
member Of the club to the effect that
possibly the grand jury was influenced
by the district attorneys office, he cx
pressed surprise indeed that such an
assertion should be made. Mr.. Keyes
stated.

policy Of The district attorney. or him.

it.

are going into the game to fight for

ing member of the squad stated last
evening that in his opinion they stood
about as good chance as the pro.

Anyway, this will be Salem's first
