UNWRITTEN LAW ON WHISKEY.
FISH! AND SNAKE STORIES OUTDONE.
Public Opinion Has bong Since Decreed
Against Drunkenness.
Discussing the prohibition now
obtaining in 'Georgia, The Con
stitution says : Regardless of
honestly differing opinions as to
its .practicability or necessity,
legal prohibition in Georgia is an
accomplished fact. It is to be
assumed, of course, that the law
will be enforced. Misgivings to
the contrary show ignorance-of
and are a reflection upon the offi
cial fidelity of the authorities
charged with the responsibility
thereof.
Rigid and "loyal, however, as
may be the enforcement of the
statute, and "ken and prayerful
as may be the vigiliance of the
earnest advocates of abstinence,
the sensible citizen will not blind
his perception to the fact that
drinking; of intoxicants will still
proceed, here and there, in the
state.
It is unfortunate, of course that
legislation, especially on such a
high moral question as that involv
ed in the liquor traffic, should
not prove unqualifiedly effectual.
Human appetites and passions
and weaknesses cannot be radica
ted by law, any - more than men
and women can be catapulted in
to heaven by the promulgation of
a religious -edict.
This feet should not, however,
give rise to despondency.
For prohibition is advancing by
leaps and bounds in the United
States. It is the only kind of
prohibition that absolutely pro
hibits, that stays the wrecking of
homes and that makes the outlaw
ing of whiskey a fact rather than
a statuary proclamation. And
that ' is prohibition vby public
sentiment.
Drinking to excesB is no longer
fashionable, popular or permis
sible irl this country. Big cor
porations and small business
houses do not need the services of
men with bleared eyes, unsteady
nerves and uncertainmerital ma
chinery. Men of talent and ca
pacity who ten, even five years
ego, could indulge in a night's de
bauch and report back' for duty
the next morning with nothing
wnrao than n -faw wnrHa nf rflnri-
xnand or an admonishing glance,
findthemselves today members of
a vanished era.
The change is noticeable from
Main to California and from the
great lakes to the gulf. Business
and whiskey do not mix. They
are absolutely incompatible. Pnb-J
lie sentiment1 irrespective of the
commendable efforts of the advo
cates of legal prohibition longj
ago decreed a permanent and
complete divorce.
Iu the main, the credit for pro
hibition that prohibits is to, be
given to the underlying and domi
nating commonsense of the Ameri
can people.
Beforethe brave white banner
. of legal prohibition was flung to
-the breeze, national temperance
-which is something different from
national prohibition had fought
and won its fight. Its march and
its conquests had been slower and
less spectacular than those of its
statute-born foster brother but
who may say that they have not
been more lasting and effectual?
There is consolation in the re
flection that the unwritten law of
temperance will prove at least a
mighty aid to the written law of
prohibition with the power of the
' state behind its eaforcement.
A Remarkable Yarn Told by a Booze Ar
tist Who Landed in Statesville.
The Asheville Citizen of Sun
day printed the following remark-?
able story:
A story of doped drinks and a
hold-up that rivals the accounts
of the doings in New York's
tenderloin or those of San Fran
cisco's Chinatown was brought
from Statesville last night by
Capt. John Norwood, who was re
turning to.his home in Waynes
ville from the national guard
meeting in Raleigh.
On Friday night shortly -aftef
8 o'clock R. H. ' s Trumbar, of
Chicago, 111., a traveling man,
representing Charles Emmerick &
Co., stopped in a saloon in Salis
bury on his way -to the depot.
Mr. Trumbar ordered a drink,
took it and remembered no more
until about 2 o'clock the next
morning, when he awoke lying on
a railroad track with the glare of
the headlight of an approaching
engine almost blinding him. He
tried to get up, but failing in this
rolled off the track and down an
embankment just as a train dash
ed by. His slide down the em
bankment was stopped by an ob
struction which upon investi
gation proved to be a man in very
much the same plight as his own.
A hurried taking of stock revealed
the fact that Trumbar had been
relieved of a roll of .$800, and
stuffed down in one drawers' leg
was a one dollar bill andJiis rail
road ticket wrapped up in his
handkerchief. His friend in mis
ery had the same experience to re
late, save that his roll had not
been so large, but to offset this a
diamond ring and a watch were
missing.
Badly bruised up, the two men
chmbed back into the track and
found their way toward the lights
of the city, and on arriving there
found to their surprise that they
were in Statesville. The only ex
planation of the mysterious oc
currence that the men can give is
that they were doped and robbed
in .Salisbury, slipped into an
"empty" on an out-bound freight,
and when found by the trainmen
were unloaded unceremoniously.

A LONG LIFE.
How
to Conserve Energy
Life
and Prolong
The
time comes to every one
when the lifeforces begin to fail.
It is a little harder to climp a hill
or wai& up stairs. Hixercise is
taken less vigorously or aband
oned, and we feel that the end of
active service ts drawing near.
It is more than probable that
we have . been over-driving the
machine of the body which will
give out like any machine if over
taxed, and we should immediately
take steps to change the gear,
build up the strength and restore
the life forces. To this end noth
ing equate our delicious cod liver
and iron preparation, Vinol, whioh
is far superior to all other tonic
and cod liver preparations be
cause it is made by a scientific,
extractive, concentrating process
from fresh cods' livers, combin
ing with peptonate of iron all the
medicinal, healing, body-buiHing
elements of cod-liver oil, bat no
oil.
As a body builder and strength
creator for old people, delicate
children, weak run-down persons,
after sickness, and for chronic
coughs, colds, Jsronchitis and all
throat and lung troubles, Vinol
is unexcelled.
