Premier Georges Clemenceau,
was attacked on Feb. 10, by an
anarchist, Emile Coffin, known
as "Milou." Seven shots were
fred, three struck the French
Premier. One bullet lodged in
the muscles of the shoulder, pen
etrating deeply, but not injuring
the spine, or penetrating to the
lungs. Two bullets bruised the
right arm and hand, while two
other bullets passed through the
premier's clothing. Late reports
are to the effect that his condi-
ton was satisfactory, and that
he remained very cheerful.
Coffin, believed to be q some.

declared that he tried to kill the
premier because M. Clemenceau
was the enemy Of humanity and
was preparing for another war ,

belshsyisn Is Anarchy.
Anarchism and Bolshevism are

AnarchiSma and BOlSheviSm are
synonymous terms.
The American people do not
want to consort withanarchy, and
this applies to all classes of the
American people.
But anarchy is dangerous when
it comes masquerading under a
new and mysterious name that is
not generally understood.
The so'called bolshevism that's
today running rampant in Russia
is simply the widest kind of an.
archy, and the spirit that creates
it is spreading throughout the
world. 1t is found in what was
Austria, in Germany, in the Bal
kans, in Italy, in Frace, England
and even in America.
The press of America, and es
pecially the press Of the smaller
cities and towns, can do much to
prevent the spread of this terror
by simply calling it by it's righ
name. If the editors of Americ,

years ago one Harve Baldwin,
with no means and just about as
much sense, was indicted, with
his paramour, a poor -half.witted
girl by the name of Bristol, on
the charge of fornication and adul-
terry. The case came to trial and
the Court, mind you, the court,
agreed that if they would take
the marriage vows their case
would be mol pressed. To this
the imbecils agreed and the sol.
emn VOWS were taken in the court
room. Result-In a few years the
husband died, leaving the unfor-
tunate wife and two little chill
dren, who soon became inmates
of the county home, where they
have since remained. This is in
deed shocking, but listen! Only

Must Have Roads.


If the North Carolina legisla.
ture, unable to agree on the
cales.Stevens bill or the Stacy
measure, should fail to enact any
road tax law at all, it would be a
calamity. And while there is
little likelihood that the legisla-
tors will make such a disastrous
failure, it is perhaps we'll enough
to tell them that the whole State
is looking to them for law that
will assure a system of hard
surfaced roads with government
funds to pay half the cost.
The need for good roads is re-
allied today as never before in
North Carolina. This fact was
strikingly Illustrated in Ashe'
vile a few weeks ago when over
100 representatives of the west.
ern counties met to endorse the
Scales-Stevens bill and to pledge
their support to thecause ofroad
building that would connect all
the county seats and important
towns in the state. Never before
in this city has there been such
enthusiasm for the promotion of
better roads.
The roads questions is espec.
tally important to the mountain
towns and counties of this re.
gion. There are still sections
where for months during the year
it is practically Impossible to
travel over the dirt roads because
Of the mud. The mountain com.
munities are every year asking
tourists in thousands to spend
their vacations here. But the
tourist is becoming educated in
the matter of roads; and while it
will always be desirable to have
access to the forests in as nearly
primeval condition as possible,
summer visitors are weary OF
making their way to them over
miserable roads. 1t is said that
one of the drawbacks to summer
tent colonies in the Pisgah Nat
ional forest is the lack of good
roads leading through a numbe,
Of counties to the government
lands. Moreover, many tourists
bring theirautomobiles with then

Three months ago at the anti.
saloon convention held at Colum-
bus, Ohio, where delegates from
temperance organizations Of ten
or twelve other nations were
present, the Anti Saloon League
put itself on record for world.
wide prohibition.
The first move to advance such
was the decision to send a COM
mit9ee of three, headed by Bishop
Cannon, to the Peace Conference
at Versailles.
There were those who were
skeptical concerning this move,
saying that the committee would
accomplish nothing. But the fol.
lowing clipping from the Rich.
mond Virginian shows quite the
contrary:
In addition to the other mo.
mentous issues agreed upon by
the Peace Conference in the out.
lined constitution for the League
of Nations is a clear recognition
of the international character OF
the liquor traffic and the classifi.
cation of this business with the
trade in slaves and the illicittraff.
ic in arms.
Never before has such a direct
declaration of the world view OF
the traffi c in intoxicants been
given as in Article XIX of the
leagues constitution, which says
among other things:
"Other peoples, especia | y
those of Central Africa, are al
such a stage that the mandatory
must be responsible for the ad'
ministration ofthe territory, sub.
ject to conditions which will guar
antee freedom of conscience OF
religion, subject only tothe main
tenance of public order and NOR
ais, the prohibition of abuses
such as the slave trade, the arms
TRAFFIC and liquor traffic, and the
prevention of the establishment
of Notifications, ETC."
The Brussels conferences rec
ognized the evils of the liquor
traffic in Africa and specifically
recommend it's abolition so far a.
the native population is concern
ed. The League of Nations, which
has behind it the combinedpowel
of the greatest governments OF
earth, goes farther and defnitel.
provides for the entire prohibi
tion Of the liquor traffic, placing
it specifically in the same class
as the slave trade.
The purpose of the league i.
made still clearer in the succeed
ing paragraph, which provides
that certain territories are to b.
administered under the laws o
the mandatory states as integrs
portions thereof, subject to tn
safeguards above mentioned il
