The publication ha*- the endorse ment and coorporation of the agri cultural promotion and extension for ces in this section and the first num- j ber contains contributions from such j authorities as John W.

He Says FRANKLIN, N. C., Auk 22.? En forcement of the compulsory school [ attendance law is of greater impor tance than enforcement f the prohi- 1 bition laws, Judge \V. J* Harding, of j Charlotte, declared her . i.t h:- charge to the grand jury at the opening of | the regular August term ??f Macon Superior Court. "If the officers couldn't enforce I both laws, I*u teii them to enforce j the school law, because the bjisis of j all law enforcement is education," the 1 jurist asserted. When children are properly educated, there will be less difficulty in nforcing the prohibition and other laws, he said. Educated To It People drink because they have j been educated to it. Judge Haruiug j said, and reserved to the fact that j formerly Federal State, and local gov ernments were financially interested in the consumption of alcoholics. Prohibition cam to North Carolina through education, and education is the thing that will make enforcement of the prohibition laws a reality, the J jurist believes. He pointed out that the teaching in North Carolina's pub lic school of physicology, with a chap ter dealing with the ill effect upon the body of the use of alcoholics, played a large part in making this State dry. Boys and girls, properly educated in the Sunday schools and the schools will learn to let liquor alone. "As a matter of fact the great mass of law breakers never get inside the courthouse. It would be necessary for everybody to be a deputy sheriff j to enforce the laws by suppression." ; In education lies the answer. Raps Officials ?Judge I larding also took a raj. at court officials who "mumble" the oaths administered witnesses and jur ors, declaring that such oaths in too many cases have become "formal, per functory nothings." Without directly referring to the recent wholes*!* jail delivery here. Judge Hard:,.ig pointed out that grand puries for the past 11 years have de clared the present Macon county jail inadequate, and that it is time some thing is done, " if you arc going to enforce the law." Judge Harding showed little sym pathy with requests to be relieved of grand jury duty, declaring that to be chosen on the grand jury is a "privi lege," and this county's commission ers came in for criticism at the jur ist's hands when he found that they had failed to purge the jury box on June 1, "as the low provides."
