' Local Editor: I just now came in out of an April shower and teeing a pencil and. pad on the table I coudn't forego the temptation of burdening you with some of my thoughts. ' ' , For the last two hours Pvc been hear ing a bras band about two miles down the creek. .". ' - . ' . v There is a land sale going on down there,' tjut why there should be any con nection between a band of music and buying and selling land seems a bit strange at first thought. That band is not down there playing for the fun of hy nor to entertain the folks.' The band is there because every member of it is being paid by the par ties who arc selling the land, and the parties who are selling the land are paying for the music because they think it is paying them to do so. They are trained business men and know how to take advantage of psychological influ ences and that is how the band comes to be at the land sale. They do not think a band of music make men any more able to buy and pay for land or men's judgment any better; but they know that under the influence of music men can .be persuaded and influenced to do and risk things they would not other wise do and risk, and that is why they are furnishing free music for the bidders at the land sale. Preachers, especially evangelists, know all about how to take advantage of the psycholgic effects of music and that is why "everybody is urged to stand up tttie toe folks are being in, vited to come forward and give the Pr?5ner. tne,ir nanas; That 13 why preachers of the Cyclone "".k anu tgr ouiiuay oass maintain a band of trained, well paid musicians, w nrosic ai weir mecungs. .1 11 venture the assertion that Billy. Sunday may go to any city in the United States and do nothing but preach, argue and reason with the folks in a plain, com- monsense, rational way, cutting out all music, vocal and instrumental, and all his "monkey shines," acting like a sane. rational man, and he may' preach, argue and reason with the folks until his ton gue is blistered, and his "trail hitters" will rot run into the hundreds nor his "free-will offerings" into the thousands of dollars. Men and women extend and take lib erties under the influence of music they would not dare to do at any other times. Think of a married woman waltzina around hugged up in the arms of some other woman's husband whin there was no music going on ! Cats will meow, dogs will howl and bark and horses will prance and clamp the bit under the influence of music. Even the deadly cobra and other veno mous serpents are said to become docile and harmless under the charming in fluence of such music as is produced with the crude instruments of the orien tal snake charmers. But the shower is over, the clouds have rolled by and I must get back to my work in the out-doors. J. M. JARVIS. Religious Freedom Wins At Asheville. At Asheville, X. C, the verdict of guilty of whiskey violations, entered in police court Friday against Frank Silverman, following his arrest in the act of delivering wine to members of a Jewish synagogue for sacramental purposes during the Feast of the Passover, was ordered stricken out by Judge R. M. Wells today. ' The court record will show that the ease has been continued indefi nitely, Judge Wells holding that Sil verman was technically guilty, but a verdict to that effect would mean interference with the right of the jfJewlnh people to worship, according to the .dictates of their own con science. .

(Solicitor R. L. Huffman, of the Sixteenth Judicial District, gives tho following, law regarding the purchase -of pistols in perosn or by ordering them through the mail. A good ; many may think they can dodge the ! State permit by ordering from some mail order house, but such is not the case.) Local Editor. My attention has been called to the fact that a great many people are ordering pistols through the U. S. mails and by express, and are re ceiving them in violation of tho laws of the State. Attention is di rected to Chapter 197, Public Laws of 1919: "Section 1. That it shall bo un lawful for any person, firm or cor poration in this State to sell, give. away or dispose of, or to purchase or RECEIVE. at any place within the' State from any other place within or without the'Stafe, without a li cense or permit therefor shall have first been obtained bv such purchas er or receiver from the clerk of the Superior Court of the county in which such purchase, sale, or transfer is intended to be made, any pistol, so-called pump-gun, bowie knife, dagger or metallic knucks. " Section 2. That the clerks of the Superior Courts of any and all coun ties of this State are hereby author ized and directed to i.sue to any per son, firnl, or corporation in any such county a license or permit to pur chase or RECEIVE any weapon men tioned in section one of this act from any person, firm or corporation offer ing to sell or dispose of the same, which said license or. permit shall be in tho following form (form sta ted.) Section 3. That before the clerk of the Superior Court shall issue any such license or permit he shall fully satisfy himself by affidavits, oral ev idence, or otherwise, as to the good moral character of the applicant therefor, and that such person, firm or corporation requires the possession of such weapon mentioned in section one of this act for protection of the home.'' r : - Under this statute I don't think any postmaster, or agent of any com mon carrier, is authorized to deliver to any address or consignee, any of tho afore-mentioned weapons, unless and until the purchaser or receiver of such weapon exhibts to him a bona fide license or permit from thc clerk of the Superior Court of his county. Women Candidates Must Use Own Name. Mrs. Peter Olesen, indorsed ns the Democratic candidate for United States Senate from Minnesota, may be obliged to amend her filing to make her name conform to legal re quirements. Her original filing n Mrs. Peter Olesen was accepted by the Secretary of State but recently the office of Attorney General Hil ton ruled that a married woman who is candidate for office should file in her own name, not that of her hus band. The legal opinion affecting the fil ing of married women was written relative to another candidacy by As sis-ant Attorney General Uollin L. Smith. It said, in part: "An affidavit of a candidate for delegate to the Republican county convention has been filed by u person stating her name u Mrs. J. A. Frank. If the letters Mrs. arc omitted us being descriptive, thV name will convey the impression that Mr. Frank is a candidate. Mrs. Frank should have filed in her own name and not in the iiame of her (midland, with tho Mrs. prefixed thereto." Mrs. Olesen 's proper legal name is Anna Dickie Olesen. A Prison Baby. Women from all parts of thnState are seeking to adopt Mildred Nnoma Odell, infant daughter of Pearl Odell, the woman now serving a twenty year term in Auburn prison for aid ing her husband in the slaying of Edward Kneip in Rochester. Warden Jennings said that he was besieged with letters from women who want the child when it is taken from tho mother in September. It is probable that the infant will; be given to the mother of James Odell, who paid the penalty for his crime in tho eelctric chair. Man Condemned to Die On Trial Again. The outstanding trial at Greenville, N. C, which is now in session is the new trial of Bonnie Andrews, sen tenced to die last December for an attack upon a 12-year-old girl of the Stokes section of the county. Only new evidence will be off ered in the case next week, with the idea of securing a mitigation of punishment The case was pushed through with such rapidity last fall that Andrews' attorney, M. K. Blount, contended he was unable to secure all the evidence necessary to set up a strong defense. Evidence secured since that time will be introduced to show that the death sentence should be revoked for a lighter one, . . ABOU ORDERING OLS
