The si citizenship of our state should read j ? and ponder the following: ti "The 17 counties that have liquor | F stores have sold thus far about five; r million dollars of liquor. They have i' sent about four millions from the j C state to foreign liquor barons and | f kept less than one million to cover j ? expenses and paper profits. The pov- j crty, the drunks, the debauched, the I u maimed, the orphaned, the insane, t ??I .4-1 1 ?.v viuuv cuiu vuicr 11ua1a.il wtcck- 1 * age caused by this nefarious busi- , b ness arc left for the counties and the u state at large to handle. For a; h small margin of paper profits, these j c counties are acting as agents of for-1 eign distilleries in this business of iJ draining millions from our people! t and in debauching our citizens.'* 1 Let us ask ourselves the question, j Can we afford to fill the coffers of j e the liquor dealers at the expense of 1 C our boys and girls? Dare we barter |v with the drink devil and receive in> exchange a debauched and cheatedj citizenship ? Will you publish anothc-r excerpt from The Drys of North Carolina so ' E that the reading constituency of your paper may read and know the tl facts ?: : n "The wets in the general assembly \s have refused to allow the county a commissioners of a county, in their : \\ discretion, to say whether wine and i s> i beer can he sold in their counties, i b They have refused to give any cbun- I o ty the privilege of voting out beer i t( and wines, and even with alcoholic j a: content up to 21'; The result is < w that these saloons have saturated o our counties with liquor; and drunk- . o enness is everywhere; and, in the si last 15 months, N.71X motorists have ' ui had their licenses revoked for drunk- g en driving.

Please tell us, is this democracy? s this the voice of the people of this jreat state when in .1933 we roiled ?p a majority against the repeal of rohibition of 1S4.439. Dare we ig.ore the voice of the people which in ts true significance, is the voice of 2od? No, a thousand times no! fathers, mothers, citizens of our Teat state, we beg you in Cod's :a.T.e, vote and work to sustain and phoid prohibition, for the sake of he dear boys and girls of our state. Ve see too much of the bleary-eyed, loated-nose victims now; but wait ntil the hydroheaded monster lifts is hell-saturated head in every ountv, town and village in our heaved state, then there will be weepig and wailing and gnashing of eeth, if per chance there are any eeth left to gnash with. God speed the day when we awakn to a true consciousness of our Christian duty and care for the /eak brother. J. ALOXZO YOU NT. Boone. N. C. I FAVOR NEW LAWS Iditor Democrat: I note in last week's Democrat iiat there has been a bill introduced tv.,-. 1: 1 , LIJ v nui>.a v-Mttrwnftt it*g laiiimix' hich would provide a pension for man who was injured in a railroad -reck in the year 1000. Bui what I tarted out 10 say was this: If noody has any objections and it is not ut of order or too late, I would like > offer an amendment to the bill so ' s to have it include me, too. 1 as engineer on a railroad arid >n ne Sunday morning about six j clock in November, 1906, I heard une kind of commotion and looked I it ahead and there was another on- , ine trying to climb right up on the | noke box of my engine. This look-1 I to me like mighty bad manners, l ;ul after we had rolled down the SEVER A.I. for board and room while at- ' have calls for g'irls to work ! nd our evening classes GirJs I hough to take care of boa We- shall bw pleased to hear personality, and high school ic of the above places.

N C. i TO TOBACCO GROWERS I Mr. Editor: i Just want to say a few words in regard to new tobacco raisers, as there are lota of people tell me they : .-> nainn snmi* totuiceo this year 1 that have never raised any before. ! I would suggest that you should not! try more than half an acre the first j time as there is quite a lot to know ] about raising tobacco mid I had I rather pay you more for one-half | acre of good tobacco than one acre ? of sorry. Good tobacco is just like anything good, it will bring you a fancy price when the market is good. Have your plants as early as possible, sow White Burley Pick out the rich patch and make it richer with manure, lime and don't forget to use the right fertilizer. See me this fall and I will give you a good price for your tobacco. \. A. HEN'SON. , \ Has. N.
