fear for the Eighteenth Amendment,
for Smith's views on the matter would
count for little and are of* no more
value than ours, that 1.1 States could
kill any measure for changing the
amendment by just doing nothing. Mr,
Daniels' stand on the prohibition
question was made clear when he

"History repeals itself. In 1928, a
majority of the Democrats of North
Carolina—and a big majority—found
themselves in the same situation that
confronted Vance and the majority of
thi North Carolina Democrats' in IK')2
They were in disagreement with Gov
ernor Smith on |#ohihitiou. They
stood with him on fundamental
Democratic principles and against
privilege ill every shape or guise.
With him they favor -the principle of
the Underwood-Simmons tariff mcas-
uie Uut their deep and abiding t «*i
fictions . would not permit them to
vote for his nomination. This oppo
sition was. on principle. They rejoiced
thai tfie Democratic platform indicted
the Republicans for 'flagrantly' fail
imt.lo enforce national prohibition and
pledged their candidates to enforce the
eighteenth amendment by name They
bel|>ed to kill any declaration to modi
fy, amend or repeal national prohibi
tion. The majority of that conven
tion nominated Smith on
the platform adopted by practically'a
unanimous "Vote. Then came Gover
nor Smith's unfortunate statement of
his personal recommendation of a
mcndmeiit. Some Democrat*, thought,
of bolting. Some will, refuse to sup
port Smith because of it. As a dis
ciple and follower of \ ance I call not
go with them. Instead, refusing to
endorse Smith's suggestion of amend
ment, we dry Democrats stand against
it just as strongly as Vance stood a
gains! Cleveland's gold standard sug
gestion. We frill continue to fight to
the end against it as Vance did for
his convictions. Like him wc will
make our fight within the" party and
win it there. In fact, all attempts to
make 'wet* and "dry' the issue has
failed. In New York and other con
gested districts, both parties arc wet.
It: the South both parties are dry.
The same is true ip the West and in
three New Knglaud States. I stand
with Senator Glass, who said;
"1 Shall support Smith in spite of
his impossible proposal rather than be
cause of it. Indeed, knowing perfect
ly weH that, as President, be will have
no power to modify the eighteenth or
any other amendment to tlie Federal
Constitution, and that not ill an hun

both branches of Congress propose

Union ratify any such proposition, 1
put Governor Smith's record as a man
I and an executive over against that of
his Republican conifietitior and I put
the record and declaration of princi
ples of the Democratic l'arty against
that of the Republican l'arty, and on
this score preserve my party regular
ity as a Democrat and join in tl(e fight
against entrenched privilege and a
gaiust the worst record of thievery and
corruption anjl organized maladminis
tration of government that ever dis
graced any political regime in the his

Hoover followed Wilson principles
in I'MB. but he turned against him and
his peace program and now, while he
leads the Republican's, let us, as Dem-
KI rat's, vote the national ticket with
out hearl in it and put down privilege
and corruption, which have abused us
lot seven years, Mr. Daniels pleaded.

Many Rattlesnakes
' Killed in County
Rattlesnakes certain sections of
llii.- county are becoming so numerous
that it is no uncommon thing to see
oiucrawling along the public roads.
Ktccutly Mr K- tjtr Roberson ran
over one 'on the Ilardison Mill road
near here. The snake was not badly
hurt bv the car's weight, and Mr. Rob
er'on used a /stick and killed it. Tues
day morning Mrs Arnold Robcrson
was traveling the same road and ran
over one of the reptiles having 11 rat
tles. . She Vas afraid, to fight\ the
sniike. but others arriving at the scene
killed it.
Several reasons have been ad-
vanced for the unusually large num
bir of snakes (tl that section, one of
them being that the snakes have the
woods all to themselves since the fence
laws were passed.
