PROHIBITION HAS COME TO STAY While attending the annual meeting of- the George Peabody Educational fund in ,New York, Governor Ansel, of South Carolina, took occasion to speak a good wor.d for the cause of prohibi tion. vFjom an Associated Press dis patch we take this comment of the governor: "It looks to me as if the south would be solidly prohibition with in the next five years," declared the Governor. "Prohibition is making tremendous .strides all through the South. In my state, the places where a thirsty man can get a drink are few and far between." And then he pro ceeded to tell how prohibition had gained a foothold in the state and spread prior to August last. "Fifteen additional counties went 'dry at the elections in that month," he continued, "and. after November 15, "next, it will be, possible to get a drink in only six counties of the state, and then only through the medium of the county dispensary." Governor Ansel discussed other phases of the liquor question and con cluded by saying that "there is no a doubt that the prohibition movement has come to stay, and that it is mak ing steady progress." Such a potent factor has it becone throughout the 1 n ii t Vi V f . - o 4-Vtt -nil linlititnl 1 m i. ouuLii lit? laicu, iuai an yuiiiiiai pai ties' are forced to recognize the is sue. v ' Governor Ansel only expresses the conclusions reached by all men who have kept a close eye on the trend of popular opinion during several years past. He is right; prohibition has come to stay. Several5 days ago The News republished opinions from governors of four prohibition states, commending in highest terms 'the tem perance laws, and declaring that in every case prohibition has been a suc cess. There have been violations of the law in many cases. All laws are1 violated. Officers, too, in many sec tions, are apathetic, and are the great est menace to the law's proper en forcement. However, with a healthy public opinion favoring the 'laws that are written, it is possible to enforce prohibition laws as rigidly as other laws are enforced. Not only has pro hibition come to stay in the South, but in other parts of the country it is a fixed part of the written law. THE FARMER'S WORST ENEMY. Many verbose treatises have . been written on necessity for "Crop diver sification." Perhaps all are more or less convincing. Actual figures, how ,.; ever, carry greater weight, and the Danbury Reporter marshals an array of cold facts which should cause farm ers in every section to take a second and a serious thought. Without furth er comment we direct close attention to this editorial from the Reporter. It shows the farmer his "Worst Enemy": "The Farmer's Worst Enemy Not the American Tabocco Company. "Flour, $7.00 to $8.00 per barrel; ba con, 15 to 18 cents per pound; corn, $1.25 per bushel; chop, $2.50 to $3.00 per bag; other supplies in proportion. These are the prices which the farm ers have been up against this year, and it is a reflection on their business judgment, foresight and common sense that they have paid these ruin ous prices when they could have pro duced every one of these articles on their farms. No wonder the fellow wno nas Deen raising nothing but to bacco is caught in an ice flop nnri freezes to death. Statistics show that corn can be grown on Stokes county uplands at 23 cents per bushel. Then why pay $1.25 for it? Wheat can be raised at 50 cents per bushel. Then why buy it at $1.50? If corn costs 23 cents, your meat ought to be made at 5 cents. Then consider the folly of purchasing bacon at 18 cents. "If we would figure like the Ameri can Tobacco Company figures, we would adopt & sane method of doing business and stop working at a loss. Just think how much wiser the Ttust is than we. Here are 40,000 of its clients (Piedmont North Carolina and Virginia, farmers) antagonistic al most frenzied in their intentions to smash the big octopus. Yet it goes on quietly sucking them to death, and declaring 40 per cent, dividends. "The Reporter used to believe that the farmer's worst enemy was the Trust, but we have changed our no tion. The farmer's worst enemy is himself." - RHODE ISLAND DEMOCRATS ACT. Democrats of Rhode Island, in no uncertain terms have denounced the tariff bill, and its progenitor, Senator Aldrich. The platform adopted at the state convention of democrats held last week should appeal forcibly to every man who favors popular rule. The platform denounces boss domina tion. In Rhode Island boss rule, un der the dictatorship of such men as Aldrich, has degenerated to the last stage, and it is against the existing condition that' state democracy pro tests. The democratic platform considers the Aldrich tariff bill the direct out come of boss government, under the directorship of such demagogues as Aldrich. Resolutions passed unani mously refer to the bill and its author as follows: "The most outrageously unfair tariff ever enacted by an American congress, and to the consumers of the country we acknowledge with shame that the author of this law is a representative of this state." The platform also pronounces for the income tax amendment to the con stitution, and favors the election of United States senators by the people, considering this the best means of ridding the country of bosses like Aid rich. ' On the whole, the platform rings true to democracy. v The News is very much gratified to hear the many expressions of approv al of its course in protesting against the action of the aldermen with re gard to the ! squirrels. It would ap pear, judging from the many opinions, that the aldermen have few sympa thisers in their uncalled for action. We quote from a letter just receiv ed from a News reader at Alexis, N. C, to show the general attitude cf the public on the question: i "Alexis. N. C, Oct. 10, 1909. "Editor The News: "I read your editorial on "Spare the Squirrels,' and glory in your stand for the squirrels. Yes, spare the squirrels in the city. We were in Charlotte. this summer and saw quite a number of these little creatures, and we were delighted to see their many tricks, just an entertainment within itself; and the children, they were just carried away with them. I think your board of aldermen could find many other things to regu late, and let the little squirrels alone. S DS HERE Barney Oldfield, the world's greatest automobile driver, will arrive in Char lotte to-morrow morning from New York City. Oldfield wired J. A. Sloan, the rac-; ing promoter here to-day that he had shipped his record breaking Benz rac-! er on a special car and that it would arrive in Charlotte late Monday night. The great Barney has had his mon ster overhauled at the "Benz Import Company in New York and when it gets here it will be all ready for a trial on the county roads. Ben Kirscher the famous German driver who will go against Oldfield in his big Darracq car, arrived in Char lotte tvhis morning and expects his car tfris evening. He is stopping at the Selwyn and will probably take his time destroying machine cut to the fair grounds track to-morrow morning. The interest in the coming auto program is beginning to sizzle and by Ihursday the city and the surround ing towns will be stirred to a fever pitch. Word was received to-day from Con cord, Gastonia and several other places stating that delegations would come to Charlotte to witness the races from these places. All prospects of seeing DePalma here as an opponent of the death-defying Oldfield have disappeared. At Danbury, Conn., Saturday, DePalma drove his F. I.. A. T. "Pyclone" through the fence and smashed it into kindling wood. He injured himself so badly that he probably will never again steer a wheel of a racing car. In addition to being a probable starter at the big Charlotte meet De Palma was also entered in the Vai derbilt cup race and the Atlanta meet. Mr. Redfern, of ,Wadesboro, Seriously 1 III. Mr E. T.

Meds Won hp Score 5 to Defeated Univers ity of South Carolina Meds Goal Never in Great, Danger -Jvhitaker Plac ed Great Game. The football squad of the North. Carolina Medical College has returned from Columbia where they played the University of South Carolina Satur day, defeating them by the score of 5 to 0. The Meds played a fierce game. Whitaker played one of the best games of his life and Benbow scored the win ning touchdown with the assistance of the other Meds, who shoved him across the line when there were four yards to gain. . . .The Meds won the toss an chose the south goal. Carolina punted to the Meds on the 20-yard line and Sherrill went through for 30 yards. Several plays were executed, the Meds. gain ing gradually until 4 yards were left to make. Then the supreme struggle came and the Meds rushed Benbow across the goal line. Spicer failed to kick goal. In the second half the Meds were on the offensive most of the time, but were unable to score. The Palmetto boys fought hard and Captain Ham mond led his team well 'and showed good spirit. The squads were pretty evenly matched, the Meds being a few pounds heavier. Sherrill and ,Whitaker were great ground gainers arid Thayer at center showed up well. The Caro lina boys seemed to be much better , on the defense than on the ottense, anu the Meds' goal was never in great dan ger. The halves were 20 and 15 min utes each. The visitors seem well pleased with the treatment accorded them. They stopped at the Columbia hotel, ine next game will be with Catawba Col lege, Saturday, October 16th. Char lotte people will have an opportunity of seeine one more game in this ; city this season to be played between! the ! Meds and Wake Forest College on the 23rd.
