Cross Road in Years Temper ance People Let Up in the Fight This Is Critical Hour in' Fight for Prohibition, Says" Dr.' Hammond fa Two Addresses Here. : "Adry world by 1930 if the tem perance people keep. up. the fight, or a -saloon at every cross ruu--u America , in six years if they stop now' -was the prediction of Rev. Br, G. M. Hammond, who spoke in the interest of world-wide prohibition at Chestnut Street Methodist church yes terday at-11 a. m. andaj; the court house at 3 p- m. r Using as his subject, "The World's Greatest Criminal The Remedy," the speaker made a strong appeal for no let-up. in the fight which the temper ance people generally have an idea has been won. He declared that the most critical hour in the history of the fight for prohibition has struck, due to the misunderstanding ana in difference of the temperance forces. He told of the great task ahead in building laws around the 18th amend ment in order to make it effective and the" importance of electing offi cers who are in sympathy with the temperance movement, . relating in stances showing that even in North Carolina some of the officers are lined up with the moonshiners, some being bribed and getting more money frtim the whiskey interests than they get salary. Not only must the temperance forces fight the liquor traffic in America, but the entire world. Eu rope sent $250,000,000 into America in an effort to defeat the ratification of the 18th amendment. . The whiskey interests of Europe know that if America goes dry the influence will spread and the entire world will fol low suit. The temneranca force are asleep on the job.;. The liquor traffic is said to he, the greatest enemy of the church, then why not the church make it a paramount issue to destroy its greatest enemy? , According to Dr. Hammond, 91 per cent, of the American breweries are owned by Germans, and 73 per cent, of all the breweries in the world are German owned. Speaking of regulat ing the sale of liquor, Dr. Hammond declared that it could no more be reg ulated than a bedbug could be regu lated and segregated. In closing his addresses, both of which were along the same line, the speaker urged his hearers to aid in the fight now being made to down German liquor as they aided in the fight to down German autocracy. At the close of each address pledge cards were distributed for the con venience of any who wished to make 5-year pledges to support the work oi tne Anti-Saloon league- Quite a number of pledges were taken, while some made cash offerinir. - Congressman IWJlChaw 3f ueorgia, wno was expected to fill the engagements filled by Dr. Hammond was detained -in Congress and could not be here. Dr. Hammond was to have spoken at the Gospel Tabernacle at 11 a. m. After learning that Mr. Upshaw could not be here, the eon. gregation of that church agreed to a union service at Chestnut Street church and many of the congregation attended the service there. An audi ence that filled the church auditorium heard the speaker at 11 a. m. A fair sized audience greeted him at the coun nouse. Dr. Hammond is a most eloquent speaker and those who are in sym pathy with the temperance movement were pleased with his addrA. went from here tok Fairmont, where uov-iione 4n tne Baptist church last evening at 7:30, and tonight at 7:30 Bpe.

Asked to Meet to Work and Plan for School Improvement A' Nickel Apiece From Every Pupil for the Ayeoek Monument ' Bvery school in the State is requir ed by law to observe "Aycock School Improvement Day" next Friday; Dec 19th. , ' -, , On that day the patrons and friends of every school are expected to meet atUhe schoolhouse and discuss or, better still, provide such of the following , fourteen improvements as are most needed: Lengthening the school; getting "an additional teaher; getting belter, school buildings; paintm the build ings; improving school ground?, gett ing a school library; getting a travel ing library; getting sanitary drinking fountains and individual drinking cups; getting pictures for the school; arranging for a school farm m lf20; arranging for a school fair; arranging for a course of lectures, music, etc-,' for the entire community; teaching illiterates in the community to read and write; getting boys and girls in to c-lub work. Another purpo3a of "Aycock School Improviiiicnt Day" :s t raise n-.onev to .complete the monument to Charles Brantley Aycock, North Carolina's jDeloved "Educat'o 'fcl GoV crniT," soon to be erected in lini ng. Fever-i. t'ur.Fand illare hav already been raised, and work on the monument will soon begin. An aver age of "a nickel apiece from every pupil" is the hope of State Super intendent Brooks, and pupils are asked to carry contributions to school next Thursday or Friday morning. If any parent feels unable to send a nickel apiece, let him send a penny apiece; and others who feej disposed may send dimes or Quarters. But the hope is to ' have every child in North Carolina feel that he has had a part, even if only a penny gift, in the erection of a beautiful memoriaj to a great man. In afterlife, when a boy or girl of today goes to Ral eigh and sees the beautiful Aycock memorial, he fill be glad to think, "I gave a dime toward it," and even if he never goes to Raleigh he will be a better citizen for having ex pressed his gratitude to the memory of one who so loved and served the school-children of North Carolina- It is hoped that no school in the county will fail to observe - Aycock School Improvement Day" next Fri day.
