THE COURIER PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Wm. C. Hammer, Editor Thursday, April 15, 1926 Entered as second class mall matter fc the postoffice at Asheboro, N. C. An annual turnover of $3,600,000, 000 a year in business comprises a major industry. Yet this is the value of liquor made and sold in the United States out of industrial alcohol alone, according to Emory R. Buckner, Unit ed States District Attorney in New York City, testifying before a United States Senate committee last week sitting to investigate prohibition. These figures make one gasp. It is difficult to comprehend that sixty million gallons of industrial alcohol is diverted each year into bootleg channels in this country, but these j are the figures given by Buckner. Out of this sixty million gallons of alcohol, Buckner says there are 720 million quarts of liquor made and that the average price for which it is sold is $5 per quart. The district at torney stated also that of all the liquor analyzed by government chem ists under supervision of his office 98 per cent of it contained poison. THREATEN FORCE BILL The Republican State convention at Durham Thursday of last week demanded a change in the election laws of North Carolina. “If we can not be given this relief”, the conven tion said, “it shall Become our duty to petition to Congress of the United States to enact a national election law.” It will be remembered that Senator Lodge of Massachusetts in troduced in Congress once a bill yjfiich he called a “Federal election law.” The country as a whole, the News and Observer reminds us, called it by its true name, “Force Bill.” It failed because Southern and Western Congressman, many of the latter be ing Republicans, united to defeat this measure which was fraught with so much evil. In threatening a force bill in this day of enlightenment, the Republican party is merely paving the way for an increased Democratic majority in North Carolina. The Republican par ty in North Carolina and everywhere else in the South has no hope of ele vating itself to office until it can vote every illiterate negro. The par ty fought the present constitutional amendment that made suffrage de pendent upon intelligence. That the Republican party in North Carolina would destroy this amendment if they could, is the warning issued by the » Raleigh News and Observer. If any young man in North Carolina doubts thisj continues this newspaper, let him read* the history of Russellism and Reconstruction. NOT ALARMING There has been a lot of comment recently upon the fact that North Carolina’s bonded indebtedness is the second largest per capita in the un ion. The bonded debt of tfte State is given at $48.36 per capita. The fig ures when considered by themselves alone, according to the Charlotte Ob server, do not place North Carolina in a very favorable light. But a vast proportion of the State’s bonded in debtedness is for good roads. The payment of these bonds and the in terest on them as well as the cost of maintaining the miles of good high ways in he State is taken care of by means of the gasoline tax and the license taxes. The other'part of the bonded indebtedness, a very small item for a State the size of North Carolina, is for permanent improve ments and for schools. Continuing with a statement of facts on the bonded indebtedness of the State, the Charlotte Observer says: Just how well our large issues of road bonds are being provided for is revealed in a statement made a few days ago by Mr. J. Elwood Cox, one of the ablest members of the North • Carolina Highway Commission, and one of the best business men in the State. He estimated that the State will secure between $13,000,000 and $15,000,00p during 1926 from its four cent gasoline tax and the automobile license taxes. The sum assured will not only pay the interest in all out standing road bonds, retire $500,000 to the sinking fund, in accordance with the bond retirement program, and take care of the maintenance of highways to the extent of $4,000,000, but will leave approximately $4,000, 000 from these sources for new high way construction. It is estimated that North Carolina could retire every good roads bond outstanding within the next 20 years without 'materially affecting the con NOTICE OF DEMOCRATIC PRECINCT MEETINGS The Democratic voters of Randolph county are hereby requested to assemble at their respective vot ing precincts on SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1926, at 3 o’clock, P.

OLD TIME CONFEDERATE The following is a Confederate war song, author not given, handed in to The Courier by L. 0. Sugg, a Con federate soldier, of Erect, N. C.

(Chorus) We fought with Hood and Gordon. With Longstrtet, Polk ar|l Clea burne, ■ With Ewell Hill and Hardee, They were good enough With hits With MODEST REPUBLICANS (Charlotte Observer) The North Carolina Republicans are nothing if not modest. They are laying claim to three congres sional districts, while it would have been as easy to lay claim to all of them. That is the way they always start out their campaigns in this state, however. Always they find some people who believe what they say they are going to do, and al ways these people are fooled and either pull out or go into cold stor age, so far as state politics is con cerned. And that, is one reason why the Republican party in North Car olina persistently refuses to grow. NEWS IN BRIEF It costs $6,167 to raise a girl and $6,077 to raise a boy to the age of 18, a life insurance company’s statis tics disclose. Gasoljne taxes collected in the coun try last year amounted to nearly 150 million dollars, of which North Caro linians paid $6,082478 and ranked in this respect seventh among the states of the union. Four states, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, collect no gasoline taxes. Four hundred boys and girls of Da vidson county are enrolled in boys’ and girls’ club work in Davidson coun ty, according to report made by coun ty agent, C. A. Sheffield. This rep resents by far the largest number of boys and girls ever enrolled in Da vidson county in such work. Mrs. A. C. Atkinson, 47, native of Alamance county, but resident of High Point for 12 years, died Thurs day night.
