TWO ' '"JWALTER MURPHY DEFENDS REPEAL DRIVE IN STATE Upholds National Admlnistration in Effort to Riot Out eighteenth Amendment. Raps "Hopeless Minority Who .Are Impeding Program of Recovery.'* Praises Roosevelt for Recovery Program. Raleigh.?"It is significant of the peculiar and unreasoning tenacity with which professional prohibitionists are holding to the discredited claims of their1 cause that the only considerable voice which ba? i raised in disparagement of the Federal administration during the critic.il month which have passed since the inauguration of Franklin D Roosevelt have been the voices of proiuoiXlon.V Waiter 'Fete) Murphyt head of the repeat forces in the State, said in a statement issued from headquarters here last week. "Mr. Roosevelt has had his critics, as any men in public li*c at any time must have,"' Mr. Murphy continues "but no less startling than the ex trcme and effective measures which have been nationally sponsored un'acr his leadership lor the restoration of the Union to a plane of safe civstation has been the uniformity with which members of all parties, creeds i and sects have responded to his call to citizenship, and have joined in a* a time oi crisis to put former inferences in the background i'?r the sake ot national rehabilitation by co-operation. ' Kverv school of political thought, every social clique, every religtoiis rie- j nomination seems to have embraced; a spirit of patriotism which has maaci possible the success of the emergency; measures of the administration to | date, and which seems to promise J that their success shall continue up n | the firm foundation cf genera! public support. "And yet from every party, from every church, and from every s .. i group there seem to have bene drawn together a minority comprised ox certain individuals some of them hex ing national reputations who hhvcj banded together to b ir.de t and impede the advancement of national st.iouity 5Tn; m-.-iit: v'l \>i inranwKn Thousands* upon thoupuids oC 1 >yal American citizens whose ponticoi belief? - ?>< concept; have :: vi< la ted by the course which rtaliouhl rehabilitation has taken under pe pressure of necessity have uraqeniuy acquiesced to emergency rnevs.vs arid the establishment of new pohels ization that, only stern measures arc sufficed to meet acule needsV "Leaders, national rigii'res of opposition parties, have generally cone vied the wisdom with which Mr. Roosevelt has attacked the problems Which have confronted him and the determined sequence of action with which he has answered the nation's demand that the Federal government do all in its power to rid the country of Uie multiple evihs which have beseiged it. "Personal and political foes alike have applauded the Roosevelt administration generously and consistently since it began the complex and unprecedented pi-ocesses by which it seeks to banish intolerable coudltihns from the economic and social life of the country. In numerous cases there have been prominent figures closely identified with beliefs and theories which have been violated by the 'New Deal,* who, when they could not openly applaud, have preserved silence in the conviction that whatever the method of national salvation, it de pends entirely for its advancement upon a unified public opinion and a loyal and energetic support by the people of the leaders elected to solve the vital problems of the times. 'But this generosity, this graceful co-operation for the general good, has not been inspired within the consciousness of the radical 'dry's' who have placed the support of their partisan cause above all other matters of national import, and have persisted ni standing to one side of the sweep of national rehabilitation, criticising and traducing the very program by which their country is beir.g returned to a condition of good health, and maligning the President for keeping faith with his campaign pledge to make repeal of national prohibition one of the policies by which he would redeem the nation from the racketeer, the crook and the almshouse." 'aJ - i TENNESSEE BUYS DEER FROM BILTMORE REFUGE Between 350 and 400 deer will be captured on the Biltmore estate and shipped to Tennessee for stocking the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and game refuges in Tennessee, under a special permit issued by the Department of Conservation and Development.

Automobile Licenses j For the first time the number Gf j automobile licenses sold at any given j time last year dropped below an ex cess of 10,000 over sales at a like ;date this year, during the past week, ] Commissioner of Revenue A.

Bringing this excess to iess than 10,000 is taken as a strong indication of the return of more normal times and of letter business. Teachers' Salaries North Carolina teachers vol1, receive about ?543 a year, o'o a month ] tor 12 months. or 508 a month lor i the eight months of actual teaching . for the next two years, based on the estimate of the State School ComraisI si on that about 512,500,000 of the 1516,000,000 will be available for I teacher salaries, and that there will I be about 23,000 teachers. These eflti' mates were reached following the ! meeting of the commission last week, i A committee was named and will be : meeting this week from a committee | of the State Board of Education to I | work out a salary schedule for teach-! era tor the coming year. Meanwhile, the school commission directed that plans be made for au-1 diting the school funds for 1932-33. State Auditor Baxter Durham, armed with an opinion from Attorney General Brummitt that he would be liable on ki3 bond for the 516,000.000 school fund, appeared to ask funds to conduct the audit. The aeiiuui machinery law directs that the commission, in conjunction with the local government commission, 3hall "cause 1 an audit to be made" of the funds. It is likely that a continuing audit will result, instead of an audit at the tii nit: year, regardless of whether the State Auditor or the commission has it done. School folks are taking the view that the low salaries in these times of inflation will reap great benefits from their plight for the next two years, and that, though they will be hard hit WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?BVJRR ? c?xMnr*n who is in charge of llic sinking dur ciapnst unurcii, wntch is now :n wganization work among the young fsvHlf, widely known minister, is as i, in the preaching. rom Raleigh te At Large by the low scale, while other things are expelled to so.tr: they wiil g^lli much in sympathy fc\ their plight, resulting in a much more favorabl? attitude from the next and succeeding legislatures.
