THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALD, ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA I Lawrence Mothers Protest ABC Stores State That They Were Never Con sulted About Placing Store In Their Midst Nor About Enforce ment Of Law In an open letter to the mothers of Edgecombe county and the vot ers of the county, five Lawrence mothers petitioned the voters to keep closed the ABC store put on probation by Cutlar Moore, until he could determine from where the revenue was coming. The signing of the petition, which has been sent to the ABC board for action, was signed by the only six white family mothers living in Law rence, an unincorporated village between Tarboro and Scotland Neck. The petition reads:, "To the Mothers of Edgecombe County. "Dear Fellow Citizens: "In view of the fSTct that the clos ing of the ABC store situated in the unincorporated hamM of law rence, N. C., has been made a coun ty and not a community concern, we, the mothers living in the sai-1 town do make this appeal: "The delegation to the ABC com mittee, led by Senator W. G. Clark and Solicitor Don Gilliam, asking that the store remain open, does not represent the wishes of the" immeli ate community. 'Their respective homes ar, situated several miles from Law rence. Their visits short and few. Is it right and just that for politi cal motives lhese parties should llmv it appear tliat tliey speak for our community on a question of as grea L an import, effecting th e moral and social uplift of our people? "Let it be known, ihat we were not consulted, in any way, by these parties when placing an ABC store in our midst and they have not con sidered our wishes since. "Are we mothers forced to bow to a bunch of political office-seek ers who make no attempt to carry out what they know to be the wish es of all common sense citizens? "We voted for the control of li quor, and not for the making of money out of the sale of liijOur. "How, then, in the name of;com mon sense cam liquor be controlled in an unincorporated town or ham let T "Lawrence has always been a hang ing out place for the stragglers of society. Ikies the placing of an ABC store help to improve the situation? "Are we to suffer our children to be brought up in an environment subject to all kinds of vile abuses without the protection other towns in which an ABC store is placed en joy. "Why not put an ABC store in our neighboring and more prosperous towns like Leggett and Speedf Be cause there are enough Christians and public spirited men of the right stamp to prevent it. "It is time that our polities ns of Edgecombe county realize that they ! are wardens of our time 1)f our county's good. "To place liquor on sale without proper control is a direct betrayal; of that trust. "Mothers of Edgecombe county j come to our rescue! Express your.

Prodigal There will be when I go back to childhood haunts again, The fresh sweet smell of fields in bloom through sheets of sum mer rain. The farm boy whistling as he goes j his happy homeward way, And pink and purple twilights too, there will be at end of day. There will be when I go back to old time childhood way- The sweet fragrau:e of the flowers I loved in old time days, The roses nodding on their stems, the lilies straight and tall, The valley lilies peeping out beside the garden wall.
