Evidently that preacher does
not consider that we are already
people Of honor. One trouble is
that most of us think we are.
Had we been q people of honor
we should have escaped many of
the ills that have afflicted US and
that still afflict us. And if we
would become a people of honor
we should be spared many evils
which otherwise are yet to come.

LIQUOR BUSINESS PROPHETS co
WRONG AGAIN

IL Is said one OF the issues Oe1Ore the
next session of the North Carolina Legs
lature will be the liquor question. Facing
this issue the people and the Legislature
will need and want all the information
obtainaE!e relating to the experiences OF
other States in settling" the liquor prob
lem since repeal of the 18th Amendment
For example. there is our adjoining Sis
ter State, South Carolina. The liquor prob
lem was Settled" down there by adoption
of a plan of sale of intoXicants in liquor
stores. When it was inaugurated this was
hailed by the friends of more and better
LIQUOR as the best plan ever devised to
control the liquor traffic. 1t was assert
ed it was little short of perfection; that
il would speedily put all .boetleggers out
of business, free the highways from drunk
ell drivers of motor vehicles, swamp the
State and its subdivisions in liquor tax
cash, promote perfect conditions of ''tem-
perance" throughout South Carolina and
usher in the Utopian age in Palmettodom.
We form the conclusion, based on in
IOrndllOh OO(diilSu liVHi SOuth OoiOiiiio
newspapers (none of these are dry news
papers) that none of the foregoing predic-
tions have come true and that the liquor
business has fooled the people of South
Carolina again.
Some days ago The Tmes-News quoted
the statement of Judge Hayne F. Rice as
presented in The Greenville Piedmont.
Judge Rice is one of the most distinguished
Superior court judges in South Carolina.
From the bench he announced that IS per
cert. of the murders committed in the
State are directly traceable to liquor.
The Anderson Mail announces that sew
erai liquor stores in that city are planning
to quit business the first of next year and
says that the reason is that the bootleggers
are getting so much of the business of the
legaiized liquor stores that the latter do
not find it profitable to continue in bust
ness.
Evidently, the South Carolina system has
not, knocked out bootlegging in Anderson.
The Spartanburg Herald quotes Sheriff
Sam NJ. Henry as saying that crime is on
the!increase in Spartanburg county and the
newspaper says that his assertion is in line
with the presentments of the Spartanburg
grand jury which declare that crime is be-
coming racket" in the county and that
Bookkeeping has increased since the repea
of prohibition laws. ....
The foregoing are only choice samples
of the information coming out of South
Carolina in regard to the liquor problem
Several columns of The Tmes-News coult
be filled with similar statements obtained
from Palmetto newspapers in the past few
months. ,.e
The North Carolina commission engaged
in investigating the liquor business SHOULD
not, overlook the opportunities for invest

DAMAGE $1,000
IN 4,A[ARM FIRE.
Blaze at ChaIfonte Apart
mentS Is Confined to
Top Floor.
Pictures on Page BIZ

Truck and engine companies from
the whole Northwest section responded
to four-alarm fire In the top floor of
the Chalfonte Apartments at 2116 P
street this morning and checked the
flames, which had threatened to
spread to other buildings. Damage
was estimated at less than $4,000.
The first alarm was turned in about
1915 am. by P. B. McGhee, president
of the City Firefighters' Associa-
ton. who saw smoke billowing from
the roof Of the four-story building.
The fact the Chalfonte is located
alongside other residential buildings
prompted firemen to sound successive
alarms to prevent the flames from
spreading.
The blaze started from some unde.
termined cause in top-hoor apart
ment rented by Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Loveless. The apartment was unoc-
cupied at the time. When firemen ar
rived and opened the door they found
the fourth-story apartment a mass Of
flames.
Residents Flee to Street.
Residents were able to make their
way unassisted to the street because
of the fact the flames started on the
top floor Many were unaware the
building was on fire until apparatus
began arriving in the street outside.
A canary and a Maltese cat were
the only victims. Firemen found two
unconscious birds in cage in fourth
floor apartment. They revived one
Mrs. Loveless arrived at the apart
ment after the fire was under con-
troll. Her first words were where's
my cat?" The pet died apparently
from the smoke.
When Miss Barbara Ollie. who lives
on lower floor, learned the building
was on fire. she thought of 5-year-old
Bobby Deeter. who was on the fourth
floor. in charge of an elderly colored
maid, Cora Brooks. Miss Ollie ran
upstairs and led the badly frightened
pair down through the smoke.
Battalion Chief Edward O'Connor
reported the damage was confined al
most entirely to the fourth floor.
Traffic Tied Up.
Traffic was tied up for almost an
hour. and large throng of spectators
gathered in p street, where buses had
been brought to standstill by the
arrival of fire apparatus and the
stringing of hose lines.
Firemen erected two ladders to the
top of the building in order to carry
water lines to the roof.
Residents of the apartment said they
smelled smoke, but supposed the
janitor was burning trash. Many did
not know about the fire until the fire.
men began to string hose up the stairs.
Earlier in the morning another fire
broke out at GIT D street, forcing three
women and their five children to hurry
to the chilly street clad only in under
clothing and bathrobes. The fire,
which did little damage, but caused
considerable smoke, started in the
basement beneath Pete's Lunch Room.
Peter Mantis, proprietor, had just
opened the place for business when
the fire engines arrived. He rushed
upstairs through the smoke to arouse
his wife and their three children, aged
Z, and 2. Two other women and
their daughters also were routed by
the blaze.

HAVANA, December 23.-Congres-
sional champions of Miguel Mariana
Gomez obtained passports today in an
emergency prelude to Cuba's army
sped impeachment of the month
President. Representative Radio
Cremata said all pro-Gomez Congress-
men had offered to resign when the
President was ushered out of Office.
Gomez, however, urged the Con-
gressmen to keep their seats and Rep
resentative Cremata said it was likely
the Presidents supporters in the House
of ntatives-numbering As on
the impeachment vote-would not
have to use the passports.
The secretary of the presidency,
however. announced he was ready and
anxious to turn over his papers to his
successor. and the secretary of public
works left his desk with his personal
effects, planning not to return.
The presidential secretary. Dr. Do
ningo Macias, said secretaries of state
and communications. now at the
Buenos Aires American Con-
gress, had cabled their designations.
Gomez Stands by Guns.
President Gomez was standing by
his guns in his demand that he be
permitted to make personal appear
arce before the Senate court late to-
day, but neither he nor his closest
Senate friends knew whether he would
succeed in his move.
The President busted himself about
his Office all morning, refusing to see
any one but few intimates. Judi
cial leaders were of varying opinions
as to whether he would be permitted
to appear as his own attorney.
Some said they believed the Presi-
dents plea would be granted, others
felt that Senate rules definitely barred
him from being present at his trial:
still others thought there might be
compromise which would permit him
to attend as spectator.
At any rate, palace attaches in

portant public declaration at the con-
clusion of the trial.
His congressional foes said they
would be ready for trial proceedings
at about o'clock this evening, but
predicted there would be no verdict
before early tomorrow morning.
Plea Held "Forlorn Hope"
The Presidents appeal, outside the
law of Cuba in the unprecedented case
OF impeachment, was regarded as q
''forlorn hope" in his fight against
turidical action to GUST him from the
presidency.
The law provides that the President
must submit his defense in writing,
leaving oral arguments to attorneys.
Gomez declared that, as an attorney
in good standing at the Cuban bar,
he should be permitted to appoint
himself his own counsel.
His plea was taken under consid-
Grafton by committee of the Senate.
which will sit as court of justice
IN the case.
Charged With Coercion.
The House of Representatives, in
dmpeaching the President, charged
him with attempting to use political
coercion to stifle opposition to his
veto of the my-sponsored $780,
600 sugar tax bill.
Although most official quarters ex-
pected the Presidents custer would
be concurred in by the Senate, which
