Great Movement Under Way

A gentleman who works for
the Southern railway here, and
who is in position to observe
movements of freights, says
that things are changing at the
SaIiSbury-Spence transfer sheds
Commenting on the fact that
movement of goods through this
great transportation gateway
is on the increase, this gentleman
declares that the goods moving
are largely new shippings
many boxes and crates, all mark
ed made in the L. S. A" and
consigned to South American
ports.
This means that business is
increasing and that the Ameri-
can manufacturers are finding
new markets for their goods.
The new movement brings the
made in the United States goods
to the forefront and emphasizes
the fact that the campaign to ex-
tend the American markets is
bearing fruit.
cur goods are moving to the
south. The endeavors to extend
our trade to the southern neigh
bors are Undertaking. in most
practical way, being reflected
in the movements of American

Taking The Back Track

No Legislature at Raleigh in
recent years has been freed from
pressure for the creation of new
counties, the present Assembly
being no exception. New York
State is divided into 81 counties,
against North Cardinals 100, yet
the tendency in the Empire State
is not for an increase, but for a
reduction in the number of coun-
ties. The movement is advocat-
ed on the ground of economy and
better government. 1t is argued
that through a consolidation of
existing counties and a reduction
in the number, greater efficiency
could be secured at a lesser eX-
pense. There is a difference,
however, in conditions in New
York and in North Carolina. 1t
seems that in the former State
some of the counties in the
rural sections" have been stand
ing still in the matter of popula-
ton while others have been los
ing. In North Carolina these
would be called 'pauper" coun-
ties. In New York they are
classed as "anaemic. F." The
movement for a reduction of
counties in New York, or any
other State, for that matter, is
not likely to pass the theoretical
stage. The court houses, the
county Offices provided and the

Prohibition

We are heartily in favor Of
the prohibition law now before
the General Assembly, but we
think the General Assembly
should act in the matter by sub
hitting the measure to a vote Of
the people.
The prohibition law under
which we are governed was 50
enacted, and the changes that
law proposed We're neither so
fundamental nor far-reachlng as
those in the bill now before the
legislature.
The bill under consideration
strikes at the very root OF the
drinking habits Of the citizens
Of the State. 1t is Legislation
aimed not at selling whiskey, as
is the case with our present pro
hibition law, but at drinking
whiskey. Under the operation
of the proposed law, the drinking
of whiskey by all law abiding
citizens will be rendered such a
difficult and expensive habit in
which to indulge as to render it
a practical impossibility
No shipments Of whishey can
be made into the State except in
isolated instances and as the
prohibition area around North
Carolina ever Widens, the bring
ing of spirituous liquors into the
state by individuals themselves
will be only in isolated cases.
A statute making such tunda-
mental changes should be ratified
by a vote of the people. We
have no doubt but that it would
be carried by a good majority,
although not as Overwhelming a
one az that BY which the present
prohibition law was carried.
The majority of the people Of
North Carolina are essentially a
moral people and although slow
to change in political matters
they can be counted upon to take
a stand at all times on the right
side Of a moral question.
John Barleycorn is doomed IN
this State the only question
that remains is the manner Of
his execution.

Statistics show that it costs
the farmers $4,000, 10000 more
each year to haul their crops to
the market than it would if they
had improved roads. 1t strikes
US that that sum is impressive
enough to made a good roads ad-
yocate out of anyone. Somebody
has to pay that eight million dol
lars, either farmer or consumer,
and it is a fairly good sized road
tax with the added disadvan age
that the money doesn't put q )wn
a mile of good roads.

stock.
