Dry weather has caused the price of fresh vegetables in Forsyth coun ty to advance to the point where people who have lands th^t might be irrigated are investigating the possibility of watering small plots.

Alcoholic insanity decreased 66 percent. General crime from drink decreas ed 54 percent. Drunkenness decreased 70 percent. Auto wrecks (deaths), per 100, 000 cars decreased 50 percent. Drinking decreased 77 percent. *As admitted by liquor force’s own figures. Here’s what happened in Canada under legalized liquor: (Canadian Bureau of Statistics) Deaths from alcoholism inci eased 100 percent. Drunken crime increased 89 per cent. Drunkenness increased - 55 per cent. Drunken drivers increased 830 percent. Immoral^fcimes (Ontario) increas ed 76 percent. Auto wrecks (deaths) per 100,- 000 cars increased 42 percent. In the United Stateq under le galized liquqor, there were 98 Keely Institutes. They have been reduced to 11 under the 18th Amendment, a decrease of 90 percent. There were 275 institutions in all for the treatment of alcoholic diseases, now there are only 63. De crease in drunkenness caused 207 to close. In Chicago, during legalized li quor, the Washington Home for Men for drunkards, ha^^ 700 to 1,000 patients at a time, and had treat ed 300,000 drunkards. Since the 18th AnTendment it has been turned into a hotel. No patients. Wet Canada has, in proportion, three times as many automobile wrecks as dry United States, Eng land has four times as many, and Germany six times as many. With this great record, a speaker to the Young Democrats at Wrights- ville Beach termed the 18th Amend ment a “hypocrisy-breeding law.” The voters of North Carolina want information, not abuse. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” We commend the Young Demo crats for this part of their reso lution: “Further, that we urge and will strive for legislation that will actually control liquor and prevent the return of the saloon,” and for repectng resolution condemning the “Turlington Act.” The revenue derived from the sale and manufacture of intoxi cating liquor is. a tax- upon human misery. If the United States Gov ernment could get this tax, it means the return of the saloon, contrary to the Young Democrats’ resolution -and the National Democratic platform. The national act submitting the question is for naked repeal. The last time this state voted May 27, 1908, it voted dry by 44,- 196, and before the women had the ballot. Young men and women, go slow! The platform of the Dry Force.s says: “We are against the evil, not against those who differ with us. To them, in other vocations and duties,- we wish them Godspeed. .. W'e earnestly appeal to the young men and women of the state to enter this contest; they may not be aware of the tragedy of this evil until too late.” Now the Dry Forces of North Carolina call upon all Democrats and Republicans and others on Sun day, September 3, 1933, to meet at some appointed place at the county seat at 3 o’clock in each of the 100 counties in North Carolina. There North Carolina men and women, speakers of prominence, ■will tell of the danger of the saloon to the body politic, proclaim temperance and the evil of the drunk habit, and appeal for law ob»ervance and enforoement, Mr. Leslie H. Parrish, a to bacco auctioneer on the Smithfield market, died in the Johnston Coun ty Hospital last Tuesday, following injuries received when struck by an automobile - Saturday night near the Atlantic Coast Line station. One of his legs was broken and a part of the bone taken out, in addition to the calf of his leg being badly man gled. Mr. Parrish having purchased a ■watermelon from Percy Stevens and taken it from the Stevens car and put it on his own, both cars being turned face to each other. As Mr. Parrish passed around the rear of his car to get into the driver’s seat, he was struck by an automobile driven by Aaron Las-iter, negro, and was tro'wn upon the sidewalk. The negro was placed in jail without bond.

Republicans To File Full Ticket In 1934 To Enter Candidates For Ail Of, flees, State Chairman Duncan Says—Supporting President. According to E. W. Gaither, dis trict farm agent, Eastover in Cumb erland County, has material and op portunity for one of the largest and best Grange communities in tfie State. “The Republican party of North Carolina will have a full ticket for state, congressional and local of fices in 1934,” said Republican State Chairman James S. Duncan when questioned here yesterday in re- g'ard to reports that his party may not enter candidates in all of the congressional di>tricts 4iext year. “I have heard no discussion by any leaders of the party to the ef fect that they would advocate any thing short of a complete ticket in the coming elections,” Mr. Duncan continued. “The Republicans are supporting Roosevelt in all his efforts' as Presi dent to put into effect measures that will speed economic recovery. However, our support of the Presi dent is support of Mr. Roosevelt as President and not as the leader of the Democratic party. “We are ju--t as firmly convinced of the soundness of the-principles of the Republicans party .today as ever, and the action of President Roose velt with reference to the tariff and other matters has demonstrated that he has come to realize the efficacy of the doctrines of the Republican party. “The Republicans are supporting the President in temporary abandon ment of the gold .'tandard. However, we still believe firmly in sound money and we feel that Mr. Roose velt will come back to the gold standard as soon as in hi.s judg ment he feels that (he situation will warmint it. “Tne Republicans not 'only will put into the field a full ticket, but will conduct an aggressive and ener getic campaign for their election.
