Prohibition Voter
Present
Mr. Editor: ; +
Much haa been said recently
through the columns of your paper j
about the whiskey traffic, and the j
pegljgence of our officer*. i
"--'Ifrio' trggtc po~' dombi Is doing a
prosperous business in more places
than the How Branch ssctlon, I Venture
to say that there is not an area
of 5 miles square in Beaufort County
fhat It is,not being made or ordered
from Virginia and other places
and sold. .
As long as the punishments are as c
light as they are^and the officers only <
make arrests when they are almost t
compelled _?o. the bulaness will con- t
tlnue to prosper. It is cheaper to pay
the light court cost than it used to 1
be for the bar room men to pay for 1
their license. Jt is a rare thing that i
a violater is sent td .the Federal i
prison qor. they- don't care for a l
small Bne .and the cost of the court.
They can make it all back in a few
weeks. *
There are-several reasons why the '
business is so prosperous, and 'one 1
important one, is thnt so many peo- '
pie voted a prohibition ticket and
are not living a prohibition life, and ?
everybody knows that all who voted
the wet ticket are the moonshiners <
and blind tigers friends and will do 1
all in their power to keep tpe yjo- 1
lators from .being punished.- .So they }
are going to have it on-, socio terms |
and I am of the opinion #thot it would <
be much better to have it back 1n I
the largest towns where there is po- J
lice protection and have the open bar :
rooms where they could.buy a 5c
drink. The open bar rooms would ?
bet ter -than dispensaries because. I
in a 'dispensary they onl7^ sell drunks
and the bar rooms would sell drinks 1
end another thing, <ho bar room fel- i
low would let his customer drink at :
his counter ahd the dispensary man ;
would sell a drunk and then run the i
ixeuow out to urinK.
The intention of a the prohibition ;
Jaw is all right, If It was carried out,
but the way it is handled it don't
prohibit, and matters are much
wores than when we had open bar ?
rooms. If we had a law to punish
a man severely for being drunk and <
lit was carried out tiiere would be
less of It than there is. But. no law
is worth t?e snap of your, finger if
it is not enfisrcod, so Mr. Officers you
had better get down to business and
get busy and see what'you can do.

Puml?, ooc of the oldest and
host beloved < itisens of Washington,
and member. of St. Peter's Pariah.
Wheb the clofr d of adversity hovered
qrer her a^d ,j.he storm came down.
sne emerged from the pontost and
took her place among the silent victors
in the fight, receiving as her
reward the demotion of her children
anil admiration, of a host of friends.
A woman without reproach, modest,
retiring, set tfca strength of hor"character
ana .'Jynsrterving devotion to
duty show In her children, who in
their high sense of honor and faith-1
fulners to tho sacred principals in- j

town could be proud.
-At St. Peter's church Sunday her I
frlond and rector. Rev. Nathaniel
HUrding, preached from Phil. 4th, |
3rd. A sermon in her_ memory,
"Whose names are in the Bock of |
Life.", Mr. Harding spoke of those !
whose heroic deeds are as giants of'
faith and patience and true heroism, j
Giants whose names have been on all
tnfen'8 lips in all parte of the earth.
Of (hos? ministering'1 angels whose
lives arc partly ; Hidden from the
more- than i
" wine. gervants of Christ who brought
even tho* their own were broken. As
- one-of--God-'a--saints-be -pays-to her
who so recently answered the summons
from on high, the follcwing
tender tribute:
"I*ask ou to call to mlud with me j
- one of God's hidden saints, who with- !
in the past week has passed from the
church militant to the church triumphant,
and I do not doubt to the
blessed rest of Paradise. A name
which since .May 24th, 1S5C, has
>een enrolled among the list of com >
muDicants passes from the parish
register to find as I confidently bei
Here upon her entrance into the
spirit world that her name has been
" written in the Hook or l.irev Mr3.
Henrietta Rumley was born 80 years
ago in Beaufort County and removed
with her parents in her childhood to
1 the town c-f Washington. A dutiful
and devoted daughter, she was* the
I JW Or her childhood home. - As-a-sister
she was thoughtful, loving, unselfish
and considerate. As a wife
she was truly a devoted and loyal
helpmeet, reverencing her husband
i and treasuring tenderly his memory."
Mr. Harding drew a beautiful delineation
of the glory of womanhood
' .in Its many environments of life, but,
perhaps, above all is the glory of
' motherhood, its tenderness and sym!
pathy, its constancy and patience
: and perfect sacrifice. Of Mrs. Rum<
ley he continues: "It was as a widowed
mother, that my life long
friend and devoted slater won her
1 crown of immortality and glory.
1 Left with the charge of a fatherless
family, her oldest son UuT'fiTne years
old, she sought to rear them in the
' fear of God and In the nurture and
1 admonition of the Lord. Her children

' long af er her form seen and her
j voice Is heard no more. We each one
i muat pass by our Calvary if we
j would reach the New Jerusalem at
} the end of the earthly journey. In
: the last days of our departed sister,
he ]ett to ua an heritage of a beautiful
example of a triumphant and
victorious faith over the weariness
and painful sufferings that so often
seem to crowd around the closing of
the mortal life, without a murmur,

Ion of law. particularly of the prohibition

attitude fraught with
peril aDjd big with injustice. I know
the argument that convictions for
violation of the prohibition law are
difficult without arbitrary presumption.
but it is far better that they be^" J
bo than that fundamental rights be ^
impaired. A Roman prosecutor said
to me K;r.ppror J.isttnlan- whn w?<r j
sitting in judgment, "if this presumption
of every man's innocense shall
cvuil what w.ll become of the guilty."
to which .1 v.st In tan made the
pregnant reply, ' If this presumption
cf every man's innocense be
taken away what will become of the
innocent." 1 do not argue for lax
enforcement of the prohibition law
and 1 hope nobody will conceive that
notion, but In bejialf of my client vj
and of a:l lovers cf personal liberty
and fair play. I do contend that there- t,
should be no presumption of guilt
and no convic tion which the evidence Jj
does not Justify; in othtjr words, that
alleged violation of the prohibition
law should stand or fall upon their
merits and be tried as other cases,
especially if it ?s desired to keep this ^
law on the books.
