I Harding Cites Need
Of Law Enforcement
Judge William F. Harding, of
Charlotte. believes that Winston.
Salem needs an enforcement of the
Prohibition law.
| The Judge stated his facts before
the grand jury in his charge in
opening the May criminal term of
Forsyth Superior court last Monday.
He declared that the successful ad_
ministration of all laws depends
upon efficient and impartial enforce-
I
ment by officers. Law can never
be successfully enforced as lons as
the "pint drunkards and quart
i
peddlers are consistently arrested |
while the fellow with private stock
In his cellar Is never bothered and
the wholesale distributors escape
the vigilance of the law."
1 Although asserting a necessity for
more wholesome respect for law he
declared himself in favo: of tho
retention of the prohibition, laws
upon the Statute bcoks.
