societies are charged with the task Of
seeing that the act is enforced, prose-
cution being vested with district at

"The law in It's present FORM" said
Or Downing, "has proved failure
because physicians are disinclined to

They have neither tho time nor the
desire. In addition, it is not infre
quent that politics enter into the
cases."
The bill gives the Board of Regents
power to suspend physician from
practicing medicine for prescribed
length of time. At present the board
has no alternative but to revoke the
license entirely if 1t finds punishment
necessary. The outcome is, it is
charged, that minor offenses are fire.

place, too many permits, and in the
second place, our standard for medici-
nai preparations was not high enough
TO render them unfit for use For
beverage purposes, This problem can
easily be met and is being met now
IN the way of taking many medicinal
preparations off the market entirely
ana compelling others to be more high
~ meolcated to render them unfit for
use Tor beverage purposes
Another problem arises in connec-
t'on with the manufacture of alcohol.
mS mS'" extensively in our industries
ms WIZ continue to be 80, and the
act Itself provides that the use Of
alcohol shall be encouraged, but tho
very article that is being manufac-
.ufed Tor industrial purposes and
which must be encouraged can be made
potable liquor by adding little
water and brown sugar, This is being
overcome to some extent by refusing
permits and by providing for the de-
maturing of the alcohol as far as pos
Slole before it leaves the distillery.
There Is no question in my mind
that a good many families have been
manufacturing home brew. This ia a
fad, an adventure. Many who are en-
gagged in it have already ceased. and
1t will as | view it, die from it's own
results. We have not devoted so much
attention to this question, being some
what afraid to do so, lest we create o
reaction against the law. To invade a
mans nome IS serious matter, espe-
cia!ly in those communities in. which
the sentiment for prohibition is not at
this time favorable.
Another thing which has worked
against us to some extent during the
last year is the uncertainty as to
whether the law would remain as it is
or whether there might not be some
provision made whereby certain liquors
could be manufactured and sold. Brew
cries, for instance, have been running
during the last year at an absolute
loss. hoping that the time might come
when they could manufacture beer of q
somewhat high alcoholic content. Re-
tail liquor dealers have continued in
business, presumably as soft drink
establishments, yet shipping out strong
drinks on the side
in view of all these conditions and
believe we have made
remarkable progress during the year
or more that the national prohibition
act has been in existence"
MIR. Kramer reaches this conclusion:
while it is seen that there are
some uncertainties in the law, it has
seemed to me that it has had hardly a
thorough enough trial to warrant Con-
gress in making any radical changes at
this time. Further, number of the
questions suggested are now in the
courts and have not been passed upon
by the Supreme Court"

AS A DESPERATE.

Near Weston Frank Clarke, Dave
Clarke and the latter's WIFE, ne

VIII Mayes and James Bell, negroes,
and robbed of SAL.
The hold-up was engineered in true
wild west fashion, Thornton and his
two pals wearing masks, which, how
ever, did not prevent their being rec
ognized.
May and Bell were arrested soon
after the robbery by Sheriff Christian
and placed in Jail at Preston.
Thornton eluded the sheriff but was
captured two or three days later at the
home of a relative in Randolph coun-
ty. The fugitive, who had boosted he
would never be arrested by a white
man, took refuge in the house where
he was captured when nearly exhaust

SPOT COTTON TAKES
AN UPWARD TURN
IN TEXTILE
SITUATIONN AND ACREAGE
REDUCTION ARE FACTORS.

Spot cotton has been moving up
ward the past few days, and during
the week has scored an advance OF
&c a pound, or $1,000 bale. Good
middling was quoted at 1871 cents in
Dawson this morning.
The majority OF traders believe the
worst is over i'll cotton, and pred1c-
tons are being made that cotton will
be bringing 20 cents before March.
The feeling is general that prices have
reached the bottom.
The ginners' report issued by the
government Monday morning showed
a total of 1857 bales as compared
with 10,018,000 bales a year ago.
Decided improvement in the textile
situation in this country, bullish trade
news from Manchester and upward
movement OF future contracts have
furnished the chief buying incentives.
Mills are reported buying more
freely than at any time i'll the last i've
months, and the belief prevails that
the tendency in general business now
is definitely upward.
Optimistic statements from leading
business men and fnanciers of the
country, the passage Of the war finance
corporation measure over the presi-
dents veto, together with the certain
ty that the 1921 acreage will be dras-
tically cut, and a revival OF demand
for goods and small offerings OF the
actual cotton in the belt also are fac
tors giving stimulus to the construc-
tive side of the market.
Big Acreage Cut.
A so per cent reduction of the acre
age is the positive assurance" given
by a careful canvass of the 800 cotton
producing countless" according to J. S.
Wannamaker, president Of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association.
1--WE are convinced" he says, that
not more than one-third of the cult
waited lands in 1921 will be planted in
cotton. Thousands of farmers, large
and small in various sections OF the
cotton belt, have aiken a solemn oath
that they will not plant nor permit to
be planted an acre of cotton on their
lands this year.
The people of the south are so
thoroughly aroused over the question
Of acreage reduction that this canvass
brings to light the fact that any citizen
OF the south who fails to Loyalty stand
by this campaign will be branded,
not only for the present, but eternal
ly, as a traitor to the south"
