MARTIN PURITAN"
OF THIS SESSION
Davidson Scion Honest in His Fight
for Moral Issues in This
Legislature
Daily Dispatch E1reau,
In tho Sir NAGier Hotel
BY HENRY AVERHT,.

Raleigh, March Ex-senator L. A.
Martin, of Davidson, has individually
won the right to be called the "Puri-
tam of the General Assembly, using
the term in it's best sense
The Lexington law-maker gained
this right by his leadership of the
drys in their losing battle against the
county option liquor bill and by his
successful and at one time almost
singlehanded campaign against fur
Their liberalization" Of North Caro-
lina's divorce laws.
NoGody doubts the senator's sin
certify, something which can be said of
only a few of tbs ioudmouthed "re-
formers and crusaders" with which
the State is infested and who always
rush into the lirnelight whenever Ii
quor is being considered.
Senator Martin, for instance, woul-
dn't send out denunciatory statements
against his opponents. Nor would he
attach the names of other persons to
these denunciations without their
knowledge or consent. Both these
things have been done in North Car
DINA this year by dry fanatics.
Nobody doubts the senator's ability.
His leadership of the drys was mas
terly, make no mistake about that
His was a losing cause from the start,
but his side would have lost by an
even greater margin but for his bril-
liant strategy and his powerful ora

der the Highway Department, it is
true that funds to establish a proba-
tionary set-up would be taken from
road money, but it is the contention
of most well-informed observers that
the initial cost of setting up would
be soon more than repaid by the re-
duced cost of raaintaining States pris-
Oners
The Federal probation system has
proved a financial success as we'll as
a successful method of reforming and
rehabilitating first offenders against
the criminal laws of the United States.
1t is pointed out that there is now
nothing for North Cardinals judges
to do except sentence first offenders
to prison or to release them under
the doubtfully legal suspended sent
ence subterfuge. With probation
legal method of dealing with those
offenders, there would be fewer pri-
son commitments by hundreds and
in year or two the population of
states prison and prison camps
throughout North Carolina would be
radically reduced, it is felt.

Camels every time for flavor"
Modern life often pushes us to the limit.
At such times especially, smoking Camels
is an aid to digestion. Camels help to ease
tension and speed up the flow of digestive
fuids-alkaline digestive fluids that play
so vital a part in the way you enjoy food
and in the way food agrees with you. Camels
are milder-an important point with steady
smokers. With their finer tobaccos, Camels
are gentle to your throat.

Libby Ball Team
Loses One, Wins One

Libby fans were treated to two ex-
cellent exhibitions of the national game
on the local diamond Saturday night
and Sunday afternoon. The Colored
Monarchs of Spokane were here for
the two games, splitting with the locals
the two game program. The Monarchs
won the first battle with 4-3 score
while the Libby team turned the tables
to win the Sunday game by to 2
scratch.
Phillips and Reinertson were the bat
terry for Libby in the Saturday night
game and ]. Boots and Batsell for the
visitors. Phillips pitched good game
and, it is said, would have won had he
been given proper support at critical
times But the game was close and all
admitted that it was good one.
A Clever Pitcher
Sunday afternoon Lefty" Wright was
on the mound for Libby with Racicot
at the receiving end Racicot was fol-
lowed by Reinerston when hand in
juries forced him out Wright failed to
warm up during the first inning and
the Monarchs tailed two runs. The
locals were held scoreless in that inn
ing But with the first ball In the
second frame, Wright began to bear
down and had the visitors very much
at his mercy during the remainder Of
the game. They did not score after
the first inning and got only two hits
off Wright during the game. Wright
is powerful young pitcher, with fast
ball, excellent control and wide curve.
Libby nicked the colored pitchers for
six hits and three runs.
Borden, Libbys young second base
man, covered himself with glory by
hitting the ball every time he came to
bat One he sent over the right field
fence for a homerun, while other hits
by him aided materially in the Libby
scoring. In the Saturday night game,
Hampton was three tiAes, at bat and
got three hits. Both se men are
young players.
