CLEMENT FAvORS
ANT|.DRY FIGHT
Vermont Governor Will Back
Rhode Islands Attempt to
Upset Amendment

Boston. Feb. lS.-Gov. Percival w.
Clement of Vermont, in a letter to Gov.
Milliken of Maine, In response to his ap-
peal to 3S governors to join in fight
against Rhode Islands effort to over
throw the prohibition amendment, tells
the Maine executive emphe tically that
not only he will not place Vermont in
opposition to Rhode Island in this mat
ter. but that he hopes that Rhode Island
will be successful In her effort to have
the amendment declared unconstitutional.
In an Interview with a Herald reporter
Gov. Clement scored the methods by
which the amendment was passed. His
letter to Gov. Milliken follows
FEB. II, 1920.
Hon Carl r. Milliken,
Governor of Maine.
Augusta. Me,
my dear Governor-I was absent from,
my office yesterday and have Just re-
ceived this morning your telegram OF
February 20. which accounts for my de-
lay in replying to your message.
Since 1902 Vermont has voted agains.
prohibition whenever the question has
been before the people of the State. The
Anti-Saloon League secured a majority
of the Legislature q91O for the 18th
amendment TO the federal constitution,
but | do not feel warranted In placing
Vermont in opposition to the action of
Rhode Island. On the other hand I hope
that Rhode Island will be successful in
her efforts 20 free the United States from
the operation Of the 18th amendment
which Is. l believe, opposed by a large
majority of the people of the country,
and unless declared unconstitutional by
he Supreme Court must inevitably bring
trouble to us all
Very truly yours.
"PERClVAL w. CLEMENT.
Governor.
The adoption OF the prohibition
amendment is serious mistake" said
Gov. Clement.
The law was put on the statute books
by as corrupt methods as have ever
been used in legislation in the United
States.
"Thc whole plan of the Anti Saloon
League was absolutely wrong, They
pledged everybody in secret and had
unlimited funds behind them l do not
mean to say that they bought votes of
What they did was to go
TO man and tell him that il he voted
for the 18th amendment they would
not attack him. In this manner they
obtained the support of lot of weak
men, enough for them to pass the pro-
hibition law.
The 18th amendment takes away
personal liberty. and personal liberty
is the Keystone of our governments
We should never curtail
II except for the liberty of the whole.
We should not attempt TO decide what
IA man shall eat or drink or how ho
shall live.
Amendments as important as this
should go before the people and be
voted upon by them because 1t is i'm
possible 10 enforce a law that Is not
wanted By the majority"

devotion to his Lord He was a
faithful and devoted husband and

voted member Of the Brighton Bap-

Brother Allen has gone home; he

WILLIAM HENRY JOINER

William Henry Joyner was born in
North Carolina January II. 1845. the
son Of William and Nancy Joyner,
who settled in this county in the
early fifties. He spent. his entire
life in Districts 4 and Of this coun-
IL with the exception Of two years
spent in the 7th district. Mr.. JOY
ner Joined the church in early life
and was one who after helping to
build it became a member of Hope
well church, in which he lived until
the day Of his death.
Mr.. Joyner was never a demon
strative man, but was mana real
man among men. He was honest,
hard-working and truthful and from
early life kept inviolate his word as
his bond. possessing the highest
sense of right between man and man.
Mr.. Joyner was twice married. first
to Miss Mary F., the daughter of
Rev. T. ]. Forbess. of the Perry's
Campground neighborhood. on March
/ 1866. This union was blessed with
eight children-three daughters and
five sons. His first wife and four
of the children preceded him to the
grave. as did also his second wife.
Those Of his immediate family who
survive him are Rev. J. w. Joyner, of
the Memphis Conference, now pastor
of Second church and Pisgah; H. J.
Joyner, Mrs. c. " Gillihand and H.
7. Joyner, of the Hopewell commun-
ity. He has a host Of grand and
great grandchildren. OF his fathers
family only one brother survives
him-Mr. Nicholas Joyner, of the
Campground neighborhood. He has
a large circle Of brothers-in-law,
sisters-in-law, nephews. nieces and
a few of even his boyhood friends
still live.
He has gone to his reward on high.
For the past several years his health
had been failing. He had made his
home with his daughter, Mrs. Gill;
hand for some time. Here. on his
own bed. as he would have it, and as
he closed his prayers he peacefully
passed away on Sunday morning,
September 26, 1920.
He loved mis- children and he did
all he could in his feeble declining
years to show them that he had no
partially in his hearts affection for
them. He said the tenderest things
for the daughters in-law, and said of
Mr. Gillihand. in whose home he
kept his bed. that he treated him as
a perfect gentleman. He expressed
himself as perfectly willing to 90
and meet his loved ones in heaven.
He left for his children a worthy
life and IN undivided faith and we
shall do our best to meet him in
Gods great Forever
Mr.. Joyner's funeral was con-
Quoted by his pastor, Rev. E L. Led

Of Munford. The funeral took nlece
at the Campground graveyard at
