LAWYER AYDLETT
LOST HIS TEMPER
Lost His Head When His Negro
Servant Was Bound Over
to Court

Attorney E. F. Aydlett of this cit.
lost his temper in the Recorders Court
here Tuesday morning when he failed
to secure the acquittal of his handy man,
Joe Willoughby, accused of robbing Nit
chell's Department Store.
Attorneys for the State in the case
against Willoughby asked. that Willough-
by be held for the Superior Court under
a bond of $500.
"Why don't you take him out and hang
him?' exclaimed Mr.. Aydlett, growing
red in the face.
And turning to the defendant he said:
''Never mind. Joe; I'll stand your bond,
no matter what it is, and they'll not
put you in jail now or later"
Mr.. Aydlett does not usually defy the
law with such a show of temper and his
conduct created a distinct sensation in
the court.

Willoughby has been in Mr.. Aydlett' S
employ for a number of years.
Willoughby was bound over under a

u. S. GOVT. CONDEMNS
HAND SHAKING HABIT
Could Have Gotten The Idea From
Saunders Himself When Flu Ragged
Last Winter

A laugh went up from all over the
state last winter when W. o. Saunders,
then in the North Carolina General As
sembly, gave out an interview in which
he declared that there should be law
TO abolish the unsanitary, filthy, disease
carving habit of hand shaking. AS US
ual Saunders was just a little ahead
of the times. The country at large is
now beginning to recognize the hand
shaking evil. The United States Sani-
tary Corps at Washington has recently
come out with the statement that all
great epidemics have Deen brought aOou>
by and fed upon hand shaking. The Phil
adelphia Press, one Of the nc st WIDE
awake newspapers in Phsiad elphia, Is
running a daily sympo sf1m of articles
by prominent public men condemn!ng the
practice of hand shaking. And so the
laugh is not on Saunders.
In Justice to North Carolina it should
be stated that not every one laughed
when the Saunders attack on hand-snak-
ing went to the state press last winter.
The State Board of Health took note
of the articles and officials of that or
ganization personally thanked Mr.. Saun-
ders for his timely attack upon flag
rant evil.
But woe untosthe politicians when the
public recognizes the hand shaking EVIL.

J. w. Mackey. of Moyock, Currituck
County. is a gray headed example of
just how independent a North Carolina
farmer may be of .the labor problem,
and Mr.. Mackey is SO years old.
When his only son was taken in the
draft in 1917 and when war industries
had drained his section of common labor,
Mr. Mackey was left with farm of 40
cleared acres, and only himself to work
it. But with four horse gang plow and
other labor saving machinery he set to
work to make crop by himself. He
got 80 acres of corn, 60 acres of SOY
beans, eight acres of wheat and z 1-2
acres of rye He made good on every
acre. Only once did he find himself in
a cramp: that was when he came to har-
vest his wheat He had to have help
then and he got a woman. He and the
one woman saved the wheat. He re-
peated the experience again this year
and single handed has carried on his
farming ccessfully,. having paid out
only $125 for labor to date. Recently
his son has been discharged from the
army and. Mr.. Mackey will have help
in harvesting his crops this fall. He is
none the worse off for his experienced
and, in spite of his SO years, is pink and
frisky. The accompanying photo is
from a snapshot by w. o. Saunders.

The beets grown on the Ewes farm are
from Michigan. seed. I. The same seed
planted in various types of soil in diff
ferent parts of the county have produced
2gfatiff wing zsiela The result of these
experiments is the unqualified statement
of Mr.. Falls that the sugar beet can be
successfully grown in eastern North Car
olina and should become a staple crop.
The sugar beet is easy to grow, re-
quiring little cultivation. 1t is easily and
cheaply harvested. Syrup from the beet
is obtained by slicing the beets and boil
ing them for one or two hours. The sy
rup is extracted from the cooked mass
by pressing and straining. 1t has the
color and appearance of sorghum or
cane syrup and has a decidedly pleasant
taste.
Mr. Falls will supply information to
any interested farmer in this county and
will aid in procuring seed.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION
is HARD UP AGAINST 1T
Its Defeat Threatened by Apparently
Harmless Denatured Wines and
CordiaIs

Tie temperance forces in America are
beginning to discover that national pro-
hibition has no permanent terrors for
drink National prohibition is finding it
self defeated on every hand. And it isn't
threatened by the ordinary illicit distil-
Ter and bootlegger so much as by new
2nd subtle way of undermining the law.
Within the past few weeks there have
appeared on the market scores of non
alcoholic wines. These wines are made
by the ordinary winners process, fer
nentaticn and all The alcohol is re-
moved before the wines are offered for
sale. And the method of removing the
alcohol is very simple. You see. alcohol
doesn't freeze. By freezing these beve-
rag@s, the alcohol is readily taken out.
The frozen product when thawed con-
tains every element of the original be'v-
erage except the alcohol.
Now to restore these nonalcohoiic
wines to their original alcoholic state
and make them just as Intoxicating as
of yore, it is only necessary to restore
to them a small quantity of alcohol. AL
cohol in small quantities is easily mar
keted and its venders are not easily ap-
pretended.
It only remains now for science to put
the active principle of alcohol into a
pill or a capsule and the fight for nat
ional prohibition will have to be waged
all over again. And science, aided and
abetted by the ingenuity of the devil
himself. may be expected to find some
way of providing a readily available and
lawful 'skick' in a small package that
can be added to any of these denatured
wines and cordials, restoring them to
their original potency.
In meantime, moonshine stills flourish
in the woods all round us and thousands
of otherwise harmless citizens are brew
ing various alcoholic connections in the
privacy of their own homes. Wherever
there is a demand for booze, corn meal,
molasses, raisins. prunes and red devil
I've are at the disposal of amateur moon
sinners.

j. u. LAMBERT

J. Q. Lambert, for many years super
intendent of the Norfolk & Carolina
Telephone & Telegraph Co., of this city,
died at his old home in Clarksville, Ga.
last Saturday.
Mr.. Lambert had been physically un-
sound, for several years and had lived
much in the west and southwest in hopes
of regaining his health. More than a year
ago he left Elizabeth City for the last
time. The telephone company here val
ued his services and so esteemed the
man that his position was held open for
him, in the hope that he would recover.
Mr.. Lambert is survived by two bro
theirs in this city, e. J. Lambert and
W. r. Lambert. He is also survived
by wife and three sisters.
