End Of 27 Year Fight.

DR.. Landrith pointed out that the
passage of the Eighteenth amend
ment rendering America constitu
tionally dry. marked the close OF q
campaign of q years. He showed
however, taat while the first OBJ
jectiye had been reached after q
years of fighting. the next objective
could be attained only after con.
stant battling, said second objective
being keeping America dry.
He touched upon the subject OF
anarchy and stated in effect that
he who sells liquor or encourages its
sale is in truth an anarchist. He
gave as a reason for this statement
than an anarchist is one who be-
lieves in constitutionaly created
laws and seeks to break them down.
He pointed to the fact that Amerl-
can dryness is now part Of the
constitution of the United States
and therefore must be respected as
other sections of the constitution is
respected.

TOUCHES on State Rights.

In touching upon the subject of
state rights, Dr. Landrith referred
to the war between the state from
1861 to 1865 and showed that at
that time. the south believed in
slavery and the right of states to
make it lawful to own slaves. He
showed that the north believed in
the abolition of slavery for the en-
tire nation, stating that the north
went to the south and at the point
of the gun and sword forced the
south to submit to the abolition
program.
Along the same line, he declared
that some of the northern states
are now advocating state rights as
to the liquor question and that 1t js
the south who now will go north and
turn the tables" by making the
north respect that which the north
once taught the south, namely that
state rights on the liquor question
cannot take the place of national
unity; that America must remain
constitutionally dry.

Have No Clues

County officers are helpless In any
attempt to conduct more exten.
sive investigation concerning the
mans death. They believe that he
was murdered and that his body
was cast into the river. There's
no clue on which they might start
an investigation-no finger prints,
tracks or evidence OF any kind
The body was thoroughly examined
but nothing TO give any tace of the
mans identity could be found. All
laundry-marks on the clothes had
become extinct as result of being
in the water, probably for several
weeks. Nothing was found in the
pockets, indicating that the man had
been robbed.

Appeals For Funds.

The speaker declared that from
a military standpoint, the other
nations of the earth will adopt pro-
hibition, that many Of them will be
forced to do so in order to pay their
war debt to the United States.
DR.. Landrith stressed the fact that
holding the first objective together
with the gaining of the next is
going to be expensive and means
that a constant fight will have to be
waged. He showed that funds must
be provided with which to fight i

ing America dry, now that the dry
ness has been spread to every quar-
ter of the nation, through the pas

Work at Pinehurst.

Pinehurst, N. c., April S.-Perry
Adair Of Atlanta and Gardiner White
of Nassau won their way to the semi

championship at Pinehurst yesterday,
in company with Frank Dyer, of Upper
Montclair and B. p. Merriman of Wa
terbury, Conn.,, who won the qualifying
medal, later on in the day, at the end
of an exciting play-off with Adair.
Many a good putt has Merriman
dropped in the course of the past few
days but not to compare in importance
with the nine-footer he ran down on the
home green this afternoon for a one
stroke victory in the play-off for the
medal. The finish was a sensational
one. At the thirteenth hole of the play
off. Adair was four strokes behind but
he made up two of them before the pair
drove from the eighteenth tee. There
did not seem chance in the world for
Adair at that stage but after he had
landed his second shot just short of the
green, Merriman played his own iron
shot so hard that hi shall sailed past
the red flag and kept right on going
until it reached the edge at the back Of
the clubhouse.
