DON'T GET EXCITED OVER WET VOTE

Special attention is called to the fact that most
of the counties in Eastern North Carolina which
recently voted for legal liquor also voted wet on
November 7, 1888, when the state voted l12,2I4
majority for prohibition. Twelve counties voted
wet in 1893 as follows Beaufort, Craven, Curri-
tuck, Edgecomhe, by big majority; Halifax, Lemon,
about even: Martin New Hanover, Onslow, Ras-
quotank Pitt and Wilson.
Last Saturday the following counties voted to
legalze whiskey viz: Halifax, Nash, Pitt, Martin
Lenoir Carteret Onslow and Warren. Wilson and
one or two other eastern counties have already
voted wet Green county voted wet Tuesday, while
Rockingham, which voted dry in 1888, voted dry
by small majority Tuesday.
The point is, the counties which were wet in
The wet press, especially the Charlotte daily pa
pers would have US believe that the sentiment for
legal liquor is growing rapidly Do not be "stam-
peded" or misled.
These eastern counties are the ones which made
a strong demand on the last legislature for legal
whiskey, and got bill through, calling an election
during the 'hectc" closing hours of the legislature
We want to see the right thing done. We know
whskey is an evil We cannot see that the solution
to the whiskey problem is to give us more whiskey
and to make 1t easier Tor our people to purchase
whskey.
Would you suggest the solution to a man run
ming wild, shooting pistol in a crowd, would be
to give him more pistols? God help US to keep the
curse of liquor out of North Carolina.
One great mistake of the Roosevelt administra-
ton has been sponsoring legal whiskey. This coun-
try will pay dearly for it. The prohibition laws can
and should be enforced. People do not need liquor
What we need is less liquor and more enforcement

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
MR.. ROOSEVELT AS A TARGET

A long while persons who disagreed with Presi-

iatteFiy the criticisms have been plain spoken and

days of 1888 great job was done in little time.
1t is unfortunate that so shining performance

"The Army studies and surveys

a recent survey to lie at elevations
ranging from Is feet to 1870 feet
above this maximum potential pool
level, with the actual hospital site
about 125 feet above such a po-

the Authority that this particular

gard to any reservoir which might

ITALY'S AFRICAN AFFAIR MAY BE NO
PICNIC
CBy BRUCE CATION

The very old and somewhat out-Of-date
empire of Abyssinia is about to fight with
sreamlined, ,modernized Italy, and If the
sports fraternity were making book on the
affair the odds would be at least, 10 to !,
with practically no takers.
Yet the long shot does have way OF
galloping home, occasionally, and if the
views of an anonymous military expert
writing in the London Spectator. recently
are correct, Italy stands a very broad
chance of coming an inglOriOuS croPPer IN
the fighting in Africa.
This writer makes the point that AbyS-
sinia is apt to be an easy place to get into,
but hard one to get out of. The Italian
army, he says, ought to be able to drive Its
way into Adds Ababa, Abyssinian capltai,
without trouble; once there, however, its
troubles would begin.
All the AbyssinianS need to do, he con-
tinues, is to retreat. To catch and defeat
them the Italians would have to cross
rugged mountainous country larger than
MoroccO-and it took most of France 5
-
the Moroccans knuckle under.
Meanwhile, the Italian communications
would be in danger, and the upshot OF Il
all might we'll be the starvation and. slow
disintegration of the entire Italian expedl-
tionsry force.
All this is interesting chiefly as re-
minder that wars are seldom fought &C
cording to the textbooks. On paper, mod
ernized and well-disciplined army like that
of Mussolini's should have no trouble at all
with a horde of semi-savage levies such as
Halle Selassie can muster. In actual fact,
such encounters often turn out differently.
Augustus Caesar of Rome discovered
this 1900 years ago, when Varus got the
flower of the Roman army entangled in
the Teutoberger forest in Germany, where
the barbaric tribesmen annihilated it. Cor
tez nearly met the same fate in his first
drive at the Aztec empire.
The British regulars were no match for
the Pennsylvania Indians when Braddock
was trapped near Fort Duquesne. The
crack cavalry regiment of the U. S. Army
was overwhelmed when the plains Indians
got it in blind alley at the Little Big Horn.
You could Gull column or so of similar
instances from the military histories, but
the examples that have been given so far
are enough to make the point-which IS
that making war on a horde of poorly
equipped barbarians is a much riSkier bust
ness than it appears on the surface.
Mussolinis troopers will need all the
good generalship and the good luck they
can command, if the African campaign is
to be the triumphal procession it is expect
ed to be.

Miss Wethered and Mrs. Ware
will meet in a four-ball match,
with male partners to be selected
later. All four players will hole
out each putt, and the women will
wage a singles match in conjunc-

Miss Wethered, four-time Brit

engage in an exhibition tour spon-
sored by a prominent Eew York
and Philadelphia merchant.
Met Three Times
These golf stars have met three
times in the past-twice in the
British championship and in the
Anglo-American team matches OF
1882. Miss Wethered was victori'
Gus in all three engagements.
At Troon, Scotland, in 1925
Miss Wethered won, 4 and 3, in
the third round of the British title
tournament, in which she later
took first honors. When Mrs. Ware
went to Scotland in 1929 for an
other shot at the British cham
pionship, Miss Wethered showed
up and again won, this time in
the 36-hole final, where, after be-
ing 5 down at the ninth, she raj
lied to come out on top, 3 and l.
After another period OF inactlv-
ity, Miss Wethered two years
later, playing Number One on
the British team, defeated Mrs.
Ware 5 and 4.

Further meeting of these two
stars-by this time good friends
as we'll as keen rivals-appeared
unlikely for Miss Wethered sur
rendered her amateur status to
take a position in a London de.

When Mrs. Ware heard of the
proposed trip of the British star,
she readily agreed to the match
on May 80.
