North Carolina, as second class mail matter under act of Mar. 3. 1879. It takes a long chain of events to find the missing link. Many a girl has heart yearn over gome fellow with heartburn. The human triangle is like a child on fire: somebody played with a match. The only thing wrong with youth is that too many adults wish they I wet back in it. What gets u? is why they have to go to so much red tape to prove *ome people insane. When it comes to the question of war. the position too many nations, take is with their guns cocked. France's prooiem is to increase her population. The land that knocks the cradle doesn't fool the world. In the old days a prison term was considered a disgrace; but now the punishment has simmered down to the mere confinement. King Tut was the Ponzi of Egypt. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and died at 15 with gold slippers on his feet. It is to be hoped that the expiratic n of the patents on some of the patent medicines comes before the expiration of the patients.

Yours respectfully JOHN W. ASHE. ENFORCING PROHIBITION Dear Editor: The writcd hates to admit this fact, hut the truth will eventually reveal itself; therefore I take advantage by revealing it myself. I chanced not long ago to be an Invited guest to a house party which was being given by a man who lives in the lower end of our county. To my great surprise I found on my. arrival that all the male members of this party were giving allgloryi to Bacchus, staggering and reeling,) and endeavoring to dance. The J liquor smelled so loud that the scent I j came near intoxicating u-.e. What ! I mean that must have been good J liquor, if we should term any of it ; as good, but being an absolute pro- i j hibitionist. I never drink any of the | Devil's Firewater, therefore deem j ;t all as bad stuff. On glancing a| round the loom I saw sitting in one corner the deputy sheriff of the vicinity, himself under the influence of whiskey. I thought then and think now. What is prohibition if we do not enforce it? There that scoundrel was sitting there, drunk, ard taking in the so-called merri-! ment while all around him was the smell of liquor. It was his duty to ! he up and stirring, arresting the violators. This is only a small instance of how poorly the people a*e trying to enforce the prohibition laws. I know me church mem! bers who are in supposedly good standing in their church who think it is wrong to report anyone who I violates the law by selling or bootlegging liquor. Any man or woman j who is a good clear-seeing citizen , knows that it is his or her duty ; to see that every violator is prt-sei cuted and punished. Church mem ber, you have no love for your * , God. your church nor your con.- * munity, if vcu say that it i? ..one of 1 your business- if the bootlegger or i moonshiner makes and sells liquor ^ , in your community, and besides thnt ' you have no self-respect. You do net drirk it or associate with those that fool with it. this all may be true, but it is your duty to see that < the law is enforced, and keep the J wiskey away from the lips of the I you; g people who are so easily in-' fluenced. It is the duty of every 12 true American citizen to see that ; 1 this law is enforced. What is our i I country coming to anyway, when ' 1 ; the church member sits back and 1 lets the moonshiner make whiskey j 1 within halloing distance of his house, 1 and lets the bootlegger sell it in the ( church yard. This is ridiculous but C true, in some communities. Citizens I f we are not doing our duty to God C nor to our country. We are dodg-t.ing our duty Like Jor.nh we christians [ ^ are running from our job. seeking' ' to hide from what is our real work. J 1 to tun the Demon, whiskey from our! land. Si me of these days there is go-' ing to be a grout judgment day, and) ' the Judge that passes the verdict jl will be a judge that judges correct-1 ly; the moonshiners and bootlegger! c will no doubt be found guilty of e wrecking homes and ruining the J c lives of young men, but we who are! S guilty of letting the whiskey mak-1 ing go on around us, we are sure j to suffer an equal punishment. You) do r.ot drink or associate with those ] that do, that may he thue, but you I are sure to associate with them in j 1 the world to come if you do not wake I up to your duty.
