HIS HOME Is HIS CASTLE.

The editor of the Times has been
subjected to considerable criticism
for not having commented on the
affair at the Briggs hotel Sunday af-
ternoon and several have asked us
what protection has a proprietor in
a semi-public place. We did not
comment on the case in the write up
but gave the information from both
.sides as we found it. 1t was not our
intention to comment on it but to
leave the case with the courts to
settle.
Some how or other quite a num-
ber of people have got it into their
heads that The Times should spend
its opinion on everything that hap
pens in the community. This is quite
a compliment to the Times, but it is
hardly fair to the newspaper, since
1t does not want to assume such an
attitude, neither do we desire to be
loaded with the responsibility.
As far as the proprietor of hotel
is concerned he has the same rights
AAdt any OIA0T OWuCT VI property :
His home and his place of business
lis his castle, and all who come there
do so with the permission and con-
sent of the proprietor. He runs his
hotel to make money, and therefore
must give his guests service and sat
dsfaction. The hotel property is his
property. and he has the right to say
how it shall be used. The law gives
him complete control over his hotel,
and he has the right to refuse to let
!. any one come in that he does not de-
sire, and to eject from the hotel any
one he wishes, and the majesty and
force of the law are behind him. This
is in answer to numerous questions
as to what rights Mr. Cherry has as
hotel proprietor.

aualifcatien, for whom the Repdb-
licans at washington have been
straining their eyes. Here is a man
who would not stop at the advocacy
of tariff to restore prosperity at
time when prosperity waits on the
resumption Of trade with Europe,
q man who would never be content
merely to dodge the issue Of the
European debt. He could point out
with confidence that there was no
such place, as Europe mentioned IN
the Bible and that therefore no SUCH
place existed, hence no war could
have occurred there and the excuse
ofspost-war hard times for any fail
ure to take up legal paper would oe-
come ludicrouA at once.
And with Europe and the war out
of the way he could go on to the
question of exchange and prove that
there was no such question. There
is nothing half-hearted about Mr..
Voliva. Since there is no abroad at
all, what is prevent. us from fixing
the tariff anywhere we like and max
ing any amount of money out of it?
Leadership is what the Republicans
need. and imagination. They need,
to put it frankly. Mrf Voliva to put
the courage of their convictions in
to them and show them how.

SUPERIOR COURT TODAY.

With the exception of Carl Sawrey,
whose case was mol pressed, the St-
perior court was busy at the morn
ing session with the case against b.
F. Varnel1 who was charged with
conducting still and the case OF J.
T.. Taylor, Walter Pittman white men
and two negroes named James Hagan
and Lawrence Mckinney colored who
are also charged with making and
selling liquor.
In the first. case against Varneu
deputy, Sheriff. Pearson stated that
he received a phone message from a
lady who informed him that Var
nell was. running still. Sheriff How
ard stated on the stand that he and
Mr.. Pearson went out one morning
to the farm ON which Varnel1 lived
and that Varnell went with them to
search the premises, and that they
found the cap of still in the to-
bacco barn, some meal mash at Var
Inell's hog pen, and further in the
woods they found the still. Varnell
denied all knowledge Of the still. He
said that the mash was made to feed
his hogs. Mrs. Whitley who inform
ed on Varnell was placed on the
stand and said that she was neigh
Dor of Varnell. Mr.. H. G. Connor, Jr.,
counsel for Varnell placed defendant
on the stand and attempted to show
that Mr.. Whitley and he had some
trouble over a car, and that the
IWhitley's were mad with him and
that is why they revealed the still.
Mr.. Connor presented this defense
to the jury. The jury however found
Varnel1 guilty.
In the case of Taylor, Pittman,
Hagan and Mckinney for making
liquor on a farm located about six
miles from Wilson in Gardners town
ship, evidence indicated that the two
negroes were making liquor, and the
white men lived in town and were
the selling agents. According to Hag-
an, they would bring the sugar and
other materials that went into the
liquor about twice a week to the dis
tillery. Hagan said the white men
owned the still. Sheriff Howard testi-
fed that he repaired to the farm and
found four gallons of liquor and sew
eral gallons of beer which he seized.
The jury brought in verdict of
guilty.
This afternoon the court tried a
, white man named Ed. Woodard for
|slapping little girl named Aggie
Bell Williams daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. P. A. Williams who live in the
country. The jury was out as we go
to press.
The court was busy this afternoon
with the case of Tommie Lamm who
runs store on the road near Lu-
CANA in Cross Roads township. Wit
inesses stated that Tommy has been
selling liquor for twenty years, and
that his place has a bad reputation
for liquor. That people are seen
drunk around the place and stop
there frequently. That as high as
Iseventy five cents and $1.75 are paid
for small articles, and there is no
change back, evcept liquor.
Ed Dawes was found guilty of as
sault with a deadly weapon and
found guilty. He was charged $4,000
for having the weapon and judg-
ment was suspended for the assault.

BIBLE SOCIETY QUITS

than a hundred years of manufactur-

the millions of Bibles which it is

society issues Bibles in seven differ

The Trustees of the society may

yesterday by the society, during the
last few years the cost Of manufactur-
