MISS IDA GREEN . SPEAKS HERE ON PROHIBITION MAKES A GREAT Spfev_n Prohibition Worker Tells of her Experiences in England, Af ter Having Been Invited To ?Tell fhwn About PrbhiKfion in America?Eighth Grade Wins Flag. k __ Miss Ida Green, of the Anti-Sa loon Xelgue, made an address at the school auditorium here on last Thurs day night. Her audience was one that filled the auditorium, coming to hear her tell of her experiencea in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland; and the expectant crowd was richly rewarded by the able manner in which Miss Green depicted hert experiences in the British Isles, as an S&fieary of the prohibition forces of America. She in the very outset five times told her audience that she was invited as a guest to Britain, impressing that fact upon her hearers, in order to offset the common idea that she had gone there in an attempt- to put something American over on the hostile British people. It was through the urgent invitations of the women and the pro hibition forces that she was persuaded j to go to England and spend several \ months there, just after the comple i tion of her services in France with' the American Army. Miss Green's subject was "Amer ica, the Hope of the World.".She lost no time in fiTplainiag "*y America was the hope of the world, picturing first the starving hordes of central Europe and of China. Both of these countries, said Miss Green, have no* hope except to look to American peo-^ pie for food and clothing; and Amer ica is answering that call through her Relief committees. She, too, asserted that ail of Europe and specially in En gland t)te people are looking to Amer ica to jioint out the way to prohibition and her urgent invitations to speak on prohibition in England evidenced England's hope in America, Miss Green, in speaking of the star ving children of central Europe and of Asia, made the point that Ameri cans?we people here?did not under stand her when she spoke of starva tion for the lack of food. Rather, she said, we people came nearer ap proaching an early death by indiges tion, the natural result of over eating. 8he said, were she to speak of indi gestion, then we would readily un derstand her; but starvation was for eign to the people of America As she continued her speech, she | narrated some of her experiences and | observations in England, where she was received with enthusiasm by the prohibition forces, which are made up of the clergymen, women, and the chr istian forces. She also told of her ex- j patiences in one particular mining town, where the large theater build ing was denied her by the proprietor i who was bought off by the liquor in- i terest, who control the larger amount of wealth. The evening before the sch- , sduled time for her speech an Amer- , lean, a hireling of the liquor interests, j made a speech in the theater building. , At the conclusion of his address, she , arose to ask him questions, as is the | custom in England. Before she had ^ asked her questions, however, the en- , glish manager of the speaking pro- ( if ram, questioned her identity, and being told that she was an American ( and also realising that she was an ?missaxy of the prohibition forces, he , ordered the ushers ih the building to , escort Miss Green from the building J and was at the poipt of forcing her to < leave' the building. The American spe- ( akcr, however, ahe said, exhibited , ?sue of the American chivalry, and j volunteered to answer her questions , while preventing the English manager ( from ejecting her from the building. Her entire speech wss"intensely in Greeting, and waa a true postrayal < if the liquor conditions in England I PEANUT EXCHANGE IS ENDORSED BY STATE OFFICIAL ENDORSES PEANUT WORK Commissioner Wade, of The In rance Department Endorses Work of Peanut Exchange, After Thorough Investiga tion of Work and Methods ? " n~^r...HE'"*/,v:rj A nol pros was entered in the re corder's Court in Plymouth, N. C., March 18, in the case of J. Frank Fooshe, Secertary and Manager of the Virginia-Carolina Co-operative Peanut Exchange, Inc., of Suffolk^ Va sp the exchange will not have to pay any license for doing business in the State of North Carolina during the period ef securing signers to the gro wers Contract. Immediately after his arrest in Ply mouth, N. C., March 12, on a warrant charging him with selling stock with out a license Mr. Fooshe had'a con ference with Insurance Commission er Wade, who agreed to postpone any action until be could make a full investigation of the facts in the case. So on March 16, Mr. Fooshe, accom panied by Dr. E. J. Grffin of Edeaton President of the Exchange, appeared before the Insurance Commissioner and presented their annual audit and fully explained the methods and pur poses of their organisation. Commasiener Wade went so far as to state had he been fully cognisant of the nature of the activities of the Exchange he would have called the officials into a conference before tak ing action. The officers of the Ex change on the other hand, feel that the Commissioner was clearly In his rights in the matter and express the belief that good Instead ef evil ef fects have come from the affair. In reaching his conclusion Commis sioner Wade stated that he had in view the losses to the farmers of the State and especially to the fanners of tiie Eastern District through lack of organisation and co-operation met hods. It was nothing leap than thd de desire to encourage this cooperation and protect those subscribing to it th at led him to investigate thepolicy and methods of the exchange. He express ad gratification that the showing that was made "enabled him to not only waive supervision but to endorse a movement that bids fair to bring con siderable relief to the peanut grow ing farmers of Virginia and North Carolina." A u Twrii| Down Fenc? Several yard fences have come down within the past Week and oth- , ere have announced their intentions of taking advantage of the stock law within the next week or two. The disappearance of the palings has ad ded much to the appearance of the residences, and when others are tak en down, the streets will take 09 an - added appearance of modernity. The streets of the town have been lately almost wholly free from the ranging animals that once had com plete possession The ordinance aga inst the running at large of fowls goes into effect on April 1, after which there is no reason for the stand ing of the unsightly fences, which in some cases are already half rotted down. as well as in the other European coun tries, where "public houses," corres ponding; to our old open bar rooms, , number one out of every aoven busi ness houses.
