AS SEES II.
The Solicitor Expresses His Views
About Local Politics to ASIIeViIVe
Citizen Reporter.

Solicitor Michael Schenck, of Hell
Jacksonville was in Asheville yester-
day en- route home from Murphy,
where Judge Long is holding court.
Speaking of politics in Henderson,,
Mr.. Schenck said it was generally un-
derstood that George Valentine, re-
publican: who represented that county
i'll the last general assembly. would
have no opposition in his candidacy
this year. Henderson is so muchly
republican that the nomination is
equivalent to election.
"R. M. Oates, ]. Foy Justice and T.
B. Allen are democratic candidates for
senator, and so far it is an even race,
it is said. AS to the Office of high
sheriff of Henderson, Mr.. Schenck be-
lieves that every ablebodied man in
the county is after the job, with the
exception of the incumbent, who has
had enough of it.
I'm picking a jury in Hendersonville
the other day. said Mr.. Schenck. he
found three men one after the other
who. stated they were candidates for
sheriff. 1t may eventually be rather
a difficulty matter to select a jury al
al. in Henderson, unless some Of the
candidates get discouraged and drop
out OF the race"

HEALTH AND ALCOHOL.
Health Authorities View the LiquOi

Health Authorities View the Liquor
Problem as a Health Problem.
Old John Barleycorn continues to
get his knocks. This time it is the
health department of no less a place
than Little Old Wet New York" Ac-
cording to a bulletin just issued by
that department, the part played By
alcohol as the cause of sickness and
death justified the entrance of the de-
paEtment into a field previously occu-
pied by moralists rather than physi-
clans" Continuing: that progressive
health department voices the senti-
ment that "the discontinuance of the
use Of alcohol will mark a greater adj
vance in public health protection thar
anything since the application of our
knowledge of the bacterial origin of
disease"
While it is indeed interesting and
even gratifying to see scientific, as
well as social and welfare, organiza-
tons taking such action, it will lbe re-
called that as early as 1912 our own
State Board of Health devoted nearly
an entire issue of the Health Bulletin
to the liquor problem and public
health, an dthat in 1914 the North Car
DINA State Medical Society went on
RECORD as opposed to the unnecessary
prescribing of whiskey, because il
violated one Of the principles of the
profession, and also took the ground
that alcohol as a drug can be elimi-
mated from the pharmacopoea without
h any degree Gripping the efficiency
of the doctors armamentarium."
