From a Novelty to a Necessity.

The backyard garden was q novelty
for most Of us last year. and we took
1t up as fad with faddish eagerness.
We shall need the garden more than
ever this year, and 1t behooves US to

OVER 30 PER CENT OF
PEOPLE BUYING STAMPS


People Ready and Willing to Buy
Counties Realize Their Mistake.
Winston-Salem, July 19.-Two OF
the most surprising things learned
from the War Savings drive recently
conducted in the State were that so
many people were ready and willing
to buy stamps and willing to pledge
themselves to buy far in excess OF
what they had been rated as able to
buy. It is estimated that far over
80 per cent of all the people are now
buying War Savings stamps. The
old State is lousy with money, one
canvasser said: Il found enough IN
the county | canvassed to raise For
syth's, Guilford's and Mecklenburg's
quotas, and the astonishing fact to me
was", he said, "everybody had more
money than anybody knew they had
and were then and there ready to buy
stamps instead of pledging them
selves to buy later on"
1t is these observations that have
led county chairmen and other war
Savings workers to realize that one
of the. biggest mistakes made in the
recent drive was failure to rate their
citizens high enough. In other words,
they failed to pay the people the dou-
bic compliment Of having as much
patriotism and as much money as
they did have. Consequently, where
this was the case, counties fell tar
short of their quotas. Pledge cards
show, however, that a large and sui
fcient number contributed to the
cause but that their pledges were
small. This instance related by one
of the county canvassers serves well
to show how easy it was, as we'll as
how fatal for counties to make the
mistake of rating their sltlzens too
| low.

SHERIFF is TOLD
BY GOVERNOR TO
ENFORCE LAW

Sheriff Van Pelt will be asked by
Governor Sidney j. Cats to strictly
enforce the new anti-boOze law. This
, announcement is made at Tallahassee
, where the governor made public a
letter received from the attorney gen.
eral of the state, in which that Off
Ger advises strict enforcement of the
law until it is declared unconstitu-
tional.
The ruling of Judge w. B. shep-
pard Of the U. S. distinct court,
which necessitated the receipt for the
shipment OF liquor by the express
company, given at Jacksonville re-
Gently, is held to have nothing to do
with the validity of the law. The at
trnoey general calls attention to the
fact that no court Of competent juris-
diction, either appellate or supreme,
in this state, has yet been asked to
pass on the constitutionality OF the
new law.
For this reason the governor has is
sued an order to all sheriffs Of the
state ordering strict enforcement of
the law, using as his basis for this
action, the ruling of the attorney gen.
eral This means that all provisions
of the new law are to be enforced
with the beginning Of 1919.

Blackwell Murder Trial Nears
End With Opening of Final
Arguments by State.
LAST WITNESS OF
DEFENSE MISSING
Attorneys Fail to Find Prator.
Rebuttal Arguments Close
Testimony at Panama City.

Panama City. Dec. '2I-(Special.)-
The first manifestation of interest by
residents of this city in the Blackwell
murder trial was shown today, when
at o'clock this afternoon, r c. Nc
Geachy, states attorney Of the first
judicial district, began the closing ar
gument for the prosecution.
cGeachy was followed by Attorney
w. j. Rice, of CreStvew, who had nit
completed his testimony at O'Clock
| last night for supper. The attorn-
ey's speech was resumed at 8 O'Clock
and was expected to continue we'll un-
til toward midnight.
Both sides rested their cases at If
o'clock yesterday morning, and the
court announced that each would be
given six hours to make tier argu-
ments. All efforts to locate a wit
ness named Prator failed and this fl
nal evidence for the defense was omit
ted.
Blackwell Lost Shoe.
Testimony was introduced to show
that Bob Blackwell lost one of his
shoes the night of the murder trial,
as related by William Boyd. The latter
has testified that Bob Blackwell, hav-
ing lost one of his rubber-heeled
shoes, had removed the other one and
threw it against a telegraph pole.
Howard Cox, colored. testified that he
and Sam Martin, white, walking near
the railroad track soon after the mur>
der, found a rubber heeled shoe which
was left at Stokes shoe shop for the
owner to clai Mr. Stokes corrorbora-
ted this and identified the exhibit IN
court as the shoe which had been left
there.
Several witnesses testified in rebuff
tai earlier in the day. George Blair tes-
titled that Bob Blackwell had not
slept in Blair's Pensacola house the
night before the murder, as Blackwell
claimed. Will Peck testified that he
did no tsee Bob Blackwell on the Pen
sacola train at Holt the night of the
Davis murder. Blackwell had testified
that he saw Peck.
