Uqnor Interests As{
Voters Go Dry Again
Person County voted to re
main in the dry column last
Saturday. This was the second
time that the liquor interests
invaded our neighboring county
with the hope of installing ABC
storea in another North Caro
lina eoonty.
However, the Person people
are too wise to allow foreign in
tsiwts to come into their bord
ers and destroy their homes and
the children for a few dollars
tax money. The second defeat
was Jarger than, the first, and
dottbtWsi the liquor interests of
Kentueky, Maryland and other
liquor manufacturing companies
wUl cease to disturb the peace
of Fsraon for awhile.
lliis is another Mtempt to
lead raapectalnlity to the terri
fic liqtior traffic. But the Per-
BM folks were too wise to go
tret vnder the disguise of hypo-
etwcf.
Dnriaff the same week in Dur-
hsM County it was discovered
that the families of bootleggers
aiill selling liquor while
other .emb.,. of .h,'--.jiitier’s Dropj
Gasoline urums For
{ilies were in prison for the same
crime. So the ABC stores here
|have not solved the illeg^ li
quor problem. All of this, and
more was promised to the peo
pie of Durham and Person if
they would only allow the ABC
stores to handle the liquor in a
decent way. So far as Durham
is concern^ there are still more
drunkards and hundreds of
thousands of dollars sent out of
the county and state to foreign
interests. That does not sound
like good business. In fact, the
liquor business is not good busi
ness in any man’s town. Man is
still worth more than money to
Person County, and to every
other county in North Carolina.
This valuation will doubtless
be made on man in Durham
County, John Barleycorn Harris
and his cohorts notwithstanding
there will of necessity be a nM
essary change *of certain city
and county officials to negoti
ate a clean sweep of the ABC
stores in Durham County. “Now
is the time for all good men and
women to come to the ^ aid of
the party." New officers in Dur
ham and Dnmrn County will
naturally give us « new order.
Therefore, give us new officers
to protect our youth.

Bombs Over London
Adolph Hitler’s assertion that
he would take London by Aug
ust 15 was taken seriously by
the world in view of his rapid
successive capture of a numfier
of other European countries.
But today he is becoming a
person of ridiculous considera
tion as he plays boyish tricks
on London. La$t night was his
greatest effort on the great
city. For seven hours his planes
dropped gasoline drums and oth
er flaring flames of supposed
destruction upon the ancient
city but the casualties were very
small. T h fire departments
were kept busy extinguishing
fires where his airmen had drop
ped gasoline drums from great
heights by airplane. Pew people
were killed, and the thousands
of Londoners slept on through
the night. Signs on the news
stands read; “Good Yawning,”
instead of “Good Morning.” This
signifies that Hitler is being ta
ken as a joke as he plays his fu
tile boyish pranks on the Eng
lish people.
As tiihe goes on the most
feared man on earth is fast be
coming the most foolish man on
earth. His hopes of winning a
war are diminishing with the
rapidity of the coming fall. The
frost, lack of food, and foolish
pranks will show to the world,
including the German people,
the folly of Hitler. Within his
conquered territory there are 18
million people on the verge of
starvation. He refused to feed
them. They will soon start an
internal! strife and stagnation
of civilization which will des
troy the hope of Hitler at home.
Berlin is feeling the blasts of
England's mighty air forces as
they distribute the fire and
thunder of war on the beautiful
city which has been free of war
for many years. The German
people are now beginning to
measure the strength of Hitler's
much over rated strong arm. If
he cannot keep the English air
planes away from Germany, he
is not powerful enough to force
the hand of England abroad.
The glittering medals and
much over estimated honor sym
bols on the breast of Hermann
Goering will soon become the
red rag for the bull’s 6yes in
Berlin circles. All of this pomp
and supposed power will become
as futile as some of the fakes
of the German Kaiser 22 years
ago. Even the stubborn German
mind cannot be fooled all the
time.
Among the captives from the
German Army many 15 year old
boys are being found. These
strong soldiers of Hitler's Army
in many cases are moulding in
the dust of Poland, France, Bel>-
gium and England. They were
I slaughtered in the early period
|0f the conquest with the hope
of an early victory.' This too is
futile. England's best still stand
on every strand of her mighty
Empire to defend her rights to
the bitter end.
The price paid for Hitler's
vaunted glory is the greatest
ever paid for any man’s folly.
Starvation stalks the conquered
countries which Hitler invaded
many months ago. He has in no
successful way been able to uti
lize the powers obtained. These
will no doubt, at the opportune
moment move to England's side
of the ledger. Instead of becom
ing a world ruler Hitler has be
come the fool of the ages. He
will inadvertently bring all of
his accomplishments to Eng
land’s feet and make her still
more mighty as an empire of
power and strength while the
^ world will dub him the prince
of fools.
