But a large responsibility rests directly upon our cltl-
ze~, there would be little traffic in illegal liquor if only
criminals patronized it. The duty of citizens to support the
law is co-equal with the duty Of the government to enforce
the laws which exist. Our whole system of selfgovernment
will crumble either if officials elect what laws they will en-
force or citizens elect what laws they will support. The
worst evil Of disregard for some law is that it destroys respect
for all law.

u. s. MAIL FRAUD
CASE ENDS IN
MlSTRlAL HERE

Failing tn reach an agreement
in the case CT Robert D. White
hurst, of Greenville, charged with
using the mails to tefraud,
Federal Court Jury was discharg
ed here Wednesday night and
mistrial ordered by Judge i. NJ.
Meekine. The case went to the
Jury Late Wednesday afternoon
and they were discharged about
ten o'clock Wednesday night.
Whitehurst is charged with be-
ing one of gang headed b.
kssyrianS who is said to have used
the mails in infringing upon the
credit of prominent business men in
all parts Of North Carolina, by OBJ
tanning goods under similar names.
Cne CT the Assyrians accused of be-
ing a ringieaGcr in the gang was
convicted last year and IS now ScrV-
inq a term in the Federal peniten-
tiary at Atlanta.
Whitehurst is said 20 have ap-
pcared in hhoSkie last year and
rented store. He chose the name
of the AhoSkie Supply and Fur
nishing Company for his firm. In
Ahcskie there is store by the name
of the AhOSkie Supply Company,
owned by j. w. Goodwin who has
been doing buSineSs for number
of years and who has built a good
credit rating among the wholesalers
Of the country. The scheme Of the
defrauding gang was to move into q
/ town and adopt the name OF a
prominent business house, adding
lnother word 10 the name so as to
rCt have the identical firm name.
The scheme was to order goods un-
4 der the chosen name and it was al
mcst a certainty that the house the
goods we're ordered from would
| ,h!nk it was the old firm who had a
! coed credit rating and would send
the goods without question.
But WhitchurGt never opened his
store for business. He is said TO have
rented the store In April and an
nounced that he would open for
business on May lst. He lived in
Greenvillc and drove the distance
of some 80 miles back and forth be-
tween Greenville and Ahoskie each
day. Chief Of Police c. E. Everett CT
Ahoskie had been noticing that
Whitehurst only stayed in Ahoshe a
short while al the time, just long
enough to receive the shipments of

Began watching WhitehurSt.
! WhitchUrst, it is alleged, would
take the goods to the store and
! then go around to the back door
and load his car and take them
away. 1t was later learned, accord
ing to testimony in the case, that
Whltehurst vas taking the goods to
/ 1 fruit store in Greenville and there
storing them in the back part which
was partitioned of from the rest
