On Wednesday, May 18th, several
members of our local W. G. I. U. at
tended the County Convention at
Magnolia and enjoyed the day very
much. Dr. Gibby, an evangelist who
is conducting meetings at Camden,
came over in the morning and gave
us a short talk, sang us il song en-
titled I'm the Bottom Of the Glass"
and played the invisible trombone
for us. We enjoyed him very much,
for he has a wonderful voice. In the
afternoon we had another treat, DR..
Tanning of Pennsylvania gave an
address. He is quite a veteran in the
temperance cause as he has been in
the work for 81 years and has made
more speeches than any other one
man and he worked with Frances E.
Willard several years before her
death.
A Morning News report of the
Sussex County w. C. 7. U. Conven-
ton held in Lincoln on May 18th,
quotes Prohibition Director George
A. Hill of Delaware, as saying:
"Mr. Hill in his address stated that !
with the learned lawyers of today
and the ability from financial |
standpoint of the moOnshiners in !
Delaware, that the prohibition laws
were failure inaslnuch as enforce
ment was concerned"
Mr.. Hill said nothing in his
speech that could be construed to
say what the reporter has made him
say. Mr.. Hill did not refer to the
learned lawyers" nor did he say
anything about the financial stand
point of the mOonshiners." The
whole statement is false from begin
ming to end. I think this contradic-
tion is due Mr.. Hill as this article of
the Morning News has been printed
in some down state papers. Mr..
Hills men have gotten seventeen
stills in Kent county in the past two
weeks.
