PROHIBITION A FAILURE,
MENACING ALL LAW EN-
FORCEMENT, SAYS FERRIS
(From The New York
Herald Trihunel

Big Rapids, Mich, April 49,
United States Senator w. N. Fer
ris, a stalwart advocate of prohi-
bition for many years, to-day said
that prohibition in the United States
to date 'has been failure" Open
Haunting "of the Constitution by
men and women who class them
selves as the cream of civilization"
Senator Ferris said, is creating a
sentiment that is destructive to all
forms of law enforcement"
"When United States Senators
boast of violating the Constitution
in the use of liquors, what can we
expect from the people for whom
these Senators make laws?" he
asked. 81 am not making an attack
on the United States Senate. | am
simply admitting that there are
members in the United States Sem
ate and of other law-making bodies
who constitute menace to the en-
forcement of prohibition and indi-
rectly a menace to the enforcement
of all of our laws.

AUTOIST SHOT BY DRY AGENTS
School Teacher Thought Sleuths
Were Hold-up men; Victim
to Die

Editorial from Wheeling Register,
Wheeling, w. Va, April 81, 1925
Charleston, April 20.-Harry
Brown, 20, school teacher in the
Flat Mountain School, a few miles
from here, lies in local hospital
at the point of death as result
of being fired upon by prohibition
agents as a result of his failure to
heed their command to stop while
driving an automobile from Pence
Springs to Anderson about 10 o'clock
last night According to Informal
ton obtained today by local au-
thorities, six bullets were fred at
Brown after he declined to stop,
one hitting him and became lodged
in the base of his spine. Officials
were told that he continued to
drive his car for three miles, after
having been shot, when his injury
rendered him unconscious. He had
not since regained consciousness, and
hospital authorities tonight held
little hope for his recovery.
Brown is believed by officials to
have taken the prohibition officers
for hold-up men. His father is a
prominent farmer of Dropping Lick,
near Union, and is one of the best
known families in Greenbrier Valley.
This is one of the tragic by-pro-
ducts of prohibition. When inno-
cent citizens are in peril on the
public highways from INSCRIPTIONS
dry agents, it is time to call a
halt to such hideous law. Who
knows but that prohibition advo-
Gates themselves are doomed to be
murdered by the very minions they
support?

Fake Realtors in
Fla. to Be Watched

Haines City, Fla, Sept. 19.-The
need of constant activity nthe part
of rea lestate boards of the state,
particularly in regard to the estab-
lishment and maintenance of a re-
putation for solidity, was impressed
upon members of the Hainess City
Realty Board by Paul o. Meredith,
newly elected secretary of the Flori-
da Association of Real Estate Boards.
"Your realty board, to be worth
the trouble must function actively
and must keep it's eyes open for the
shyster who will prey if possible on
every newcomer to your city" he
said. "'It is the desire of every real.
tor of Florida to have his state de-
veloped in an honest upright man
ner. and in way that will leave no
doubt in the minds of outsiders com
ing here as to the desirability of
Florida from every standpoint.
"With the shyster real estate oper-
ator roaming at large in the state,
there is every danger that outsid-
ers who come here to invest will be
victimized by these unscrupulous op
orators to such an extent that the ad-
verse advertising will do more harm
than many honest operators can IN
do in any length of time. $
Zone of the duties of the realtors
of the state-and it is the most i'm
portant of any of their duties--is the
protection of not only their clients
but every potential client who comes
to Florida. Some of the acts of un-
scrupulous operators are being wide
ly advertised throughout other states
where there is desire to end the
ow of money and population to Flor
ida. It is the duty of every realtor in
the state to do his utmost to prevent
the victiminzing Of outsiders in this
manner"

new ERA FOR SOUTH
SEEN In MILL MOVE
Means Many Millions of Dollars to
Growers in Higher Cotton Price
To Have Mills Near

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 23.-New Eng
land manufacturers, realizing the adj
vantagcs the South possesses for the
manufacture of cotton goods, are con
tinuing to seek locations for their in-
dustries in the Southern states, ac-
cording to reports received IN Allan
ia. It can be but few years, Atlanta
business men say, until the greater
portion of the South's cotton crop
will be sold in the South to Southern
mills and made into cloth by them.
Since the South has now a greater
number of looms and spindles than
the New England states, statistics
show, this section really is the textile
mill center of the country.
The advantage of having the tex
tile industry centered where the raw
material is available and where con-
ditions of every kind are more favor
able for successful manufacture than
in New England, it was stated by At
lanta manufacturers, is appealing
with force to the Northern and
Eastern manufacturers. The advan-
tage to the Southern cotton grower of
having the mills in the South, thus
creating a market here for the cot
ton of the South, is even greater. 1t
will mean, according to business men
here, many millions Of dollars to
Southern cotton growers in higher
cotton price to have the mills near.
Something of the value of a near
at hand market may be seen in the
statement given out here, that of
more than six million bales of cotton
tina tare being consumed in the man.
ufacture of cloth this year, more than
four million bales, or about two
thirds of the total, are being made
into cloth in Southern mills, the New
England mills getting but about
100000 bales and the rest going to
other sections. Each year it was stat
ed here, will show the Southern pres
tige in cotton consumption increased.
Today the South stands in cotton
goods manufacture. where the New
England states stood in 1914 while
New England occupies a position SIM
liar to that hel dby the South ten
years ago. The actual figures show
this and it spells an end to New Eng
land textile prestige and to New Eng
land domination of the cotton man.
industry.
AS whole, the Southern states are
making wonderful progress in tex
tile development and, as business men
here point out, it means greater
wealth for the South and a new and
greater industrial era.

These are some the reasons why
