Webb Law places intoxing liquor
under the police power of the Stat
into which they are shipped whe1
they are brought from a liquo
State into a prohibition State. Tn,
General Assembly was exercisin,
its police power when it passed TIN
Wike bill. Nothing more. NothinI
less. We also believe that the PEG
pie of Jackson county are over
whelmingly in favor of the law al
it stands and of its rigid enforce
enforcement. If this law is valiC
it is a mighty victory for prohibi
ton in North Carolina and the othe1
States which are now hunting an
effective weapon with which to
fight the importation of intoxicants
For the adoption of such law by
the other counties would mean the
realization of the dreams of those
who have seen the will of the peo-
pie of a sovereign State trampled
underfoot and put at naught by
by the nefarious wholesale liquor
dealers of other States. It is the
personality of the individuals COM
posing it that makes any commun-
lty, commonwealth or nation, what
it is. If it is bad the people make
it so. If it is good healthy and pros
porous, it is the people who them
selves have high aspirations. Hence
the necessity for education. Hence
the need of churches and Sunday
schools. Hence the use so far.s is
possible by the power of legislation
OF removing temptation from the
younger generation that the stand
ard OF citizenship may be raised
Hence the imperative need of law
enforcement, for if we have the
proper respect for the majesty of
the law it must be instilled by i'm
partial enforcement of the law. The
which the whiskey forces
nave exhibited toward the prohi
oition laws in North Carolina has
>egotten in some of our people a
disregard for the law. So long as
ignorance, superstition or evil pre-
'alls among. a few the whole is
Elected by it. 1t is a matter of
elfe-defense, therefore, that we
lise the standard of citizenship,
lat we prove that the will of the
eople, which is the supreme laws
annot be defeated by those who i
e attempting to set it at naueht c
7 carrying on the liquor traffic :
mere the people have said that #
adj be stopped. y

stock of j. Ruhs was completed last
Saturday and henceforth the firm will
he known as Ruhs q Carter A deal
was made by Mr.. Ruhs with G.. G.
Carter about three weeks ago whereby
he disposed of half int rest in his

Waukee, Iowa where his father, j. II.
Carter has been in business many
years. The father and son were here
all of last week completing thearrange-
inents of the deal.
The new member sof the firm is q
young man of pleasing personality. He
has had abundant experience in the
hardware and implement business. For
sometime past he was assistant manager
Of the Calgary branch of the Tudhope.
Anderson Co., one of the largest dealers
IN farm implements in the northwest.
The company offered Mr. Carter some
iiatteriHg Inducements to remain with
them. but he refused prefering to enter
into business for himself. and We agree
with him that he has located in one OF
the best towns in the state of Iowa.
Mr.. Ruhs remains the owner of the
building. but we understand that he
will soon put in new steel ceiling, put
in new modern front and otherwise
put the home of Ruhs & Carter in
apple-pie< condition. The people of
audubon extend to Mr.. Carter the glad
hand of fellowship and hope that his
residence in Audubon will prove pleas
ant and profitable, and far above his
fondest expectations They win make
a team so strong that their influence
will be felt in all parts of Audubon
County.

Candidates Want to be Understood

A number of the candidates for coun-
cilmen on the Peoples ticket want it
understood that they are favorable to
the sewerage proposition. 1t Is claimed
that rumor has been circulated that
the new ticket was opposed to the much
needed improvement. but Frank Taylor
informed rs yesterday that he knew
four of the five candidates wanted
sewerage with the provision that the
matter be first submitted to vote of
the people. f. G. Miller and w. s.
Roberts told us the same thing. 1t is
perfectly right and proper that the
people should know just how the can
didates stand on the matter and the

Hear Sewerage Talk Tonight

Lafayette Higgins, state sanitary
engineer of Iowa, has been secured 'tc
make an address at the court house
tonight. He is thoroughly familiar
with the sewerage proposition and we
hope that he will be able TO give our
people some facts and figures.
There has been all kinds of talk about
the cost of installing system OF
sewerage in Audubon and instead OF
our giving our readers lot of hearsay
figures we are going to wait and see
what Mr.. Higgins has to say for he is
authority in matters of this kind. We
urge all of the voters Ut the town to
hear the address tonight. We are sure
of one thing though that the man who
owns property in east, west. north OF
south Audubon will not be taxed for
sewerage unless it passes his property
He does not have to pay for his neigh
Dor who has it in another part of town
Other towns situated similar to Audi
BON have put in sewerage at cost OF
so to 75c per foot 1t would be impossible
for it to cost 81 and So per foot. Hear
Mr.. Higgins tonight and learn something
about sewerage.
