American People Will Not Reverse Hiemselves On Prohibition Question l__- _ Under So Says rotary of RAPS ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROHIBITION LAWS Those In Charge of Enforcement of Law Are Expected To Be Vigilant and Sincere. An attack on the administration of the prohibition enforcement depart-* ment for its apparent axity in the en forcement of the laws, coupled with a statement that the American peo ple would never reverse themselves on the liquor question, was made in an interview Saturday night of last week in Nashville, Tenn., by Josephus Dainels, of Raleigh, editor of the Raleigh News aid Observer, and sec retary of the navy during the Wilson administration. Mr. Daniels declared that prohibi tion had been a disappointment to everybody, but most particularly to those who thought ft would not suc ceed. He said that admittedly it is not 100 per cent perfect and the wet element is trying to make the nation forget how bad the situation was be fore the law was passed. He spoke of how politics was controlled and dom inated by the liquor interests before the passing of the eighteenth amend ment, and declared that prohibition came about because people were so offended by the terrible evil of the saloons and brewers in control of politics, that they determined to wipe it out. Mr. Daniels said that prohibition ists expected the people in charge of enforcing the laws to be vigilant and sincere. “Instead of that, the whole policy was put under Secretary Mellon, a big business man who has made much money out of investments in liquor, and under whose adminis tration the enforcement has been a farce,” Mr. Daniels said. “It was not until Gov. Gifford Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, at the White House, pointed out that liquor flowed freely because to was removed from warehouses; be cause the government was not vigi lant; because liquor was shipped in here from foreign shore# and rum rnnning was done across the bor ders without any noticeable at tempt to stop it, that the condition was improved. There was vigilance enough when it came to the smug gling of Chinese or goods, but there was no zeal in stopping the smuggling of contraband drinks. ‘iAgents were formerly selected in many states because of political work they had done and for political work they were to do, and in many cases these agents were as wet as the At lantic ocean. “I think General Andrews is sin cere, but he made a great mistake when he took the office and said if | he could not enforce the law he would resign. He should have said he would enforce it. His statement » was taken by moonshiners and rum runners to mean that if they would redouble their efforts and output, they would discourage him from enforcing ' the law. I FARM WORK ANIMALS DESERVE MORE ATTENTION Raleigh, N. C., April 12.—The cost of keeping farm work animals for one year on the farm amounts to $139.28 according to teste made by the North Carolina Experiment Sta tion. Half the value of the State’s cotton crop is needed to maintain the work animals on farms. It is impor tant, therefore, that fanners find how to decrease the cost of mainten ance or increase the efficiency of the work animals. Prof. R. S. Curtis of the animal husbandry department at State Col lege states that the supply of work stock is.not meeting the needs and the condition is becoming more acute each year. To increase the efficiency of those animals now on the farm, every farm should have a pasture or paddock where the animals may run at nights, on Sunday and during idle seasons. Exercise and recreation are thus afforded. More home pown roughages are needed which will de crease the cost of maintenance. From one-half to two-thirds of the cost of shipped hay is in freight charges. “Bettter rations for our work ani mals are also needed,” says Prof. Cur tis. “A good suggested grain ration can be made of 9 parts of corn and one part of cottonseed meal, or five parts of com and five parts of oats, or seven parts of com, two parts of oats and one part of cottonseed meal. These rations fed at the rate of 1 1-2 pounds of the grain to each 100 pounds of live weight will be suitable during the heavy work periods. “Our animals also need regular at tention. The best plan is to feed three times daily and give water and salt regularly. It is detrimental to the animals to allow them to stand in box stalls over heated manure beds day after daV. The animals should also be well groomed which will aid in health and vigor. The harness needs to be well fitted, and the feet looked after more regularly.” “I am glad to see now that prohi bition agents will be selected by merit and not as agents of politicians. It is the last office in the world that ought to be controlled by politics. There were many prohibitionists and particularly the more zealous, who thought it would be easy to enforce the law, but they did not know how deep-rooted the iquor evil was. The wiser ones knew it would take a long time. It took twenty years to see the good results from prohibition in Iowa. “With earnest and sincAo en forcement the results will be the same as in those states that have had prohibition for many years. If enforcement is lax it may take a long time, but the American peo ple will never reverse themselves on the liquor question. ■ The generations of America now in kindergartens will grow up free from this evil.” In speaking of the book which he intends to write on Woodrow Wil son, Mr. Daniels said: “My book, without quibbling, will say that there was a man named Woodrow Wilson, who was President of the United States for eight years, and he was very much like Andrew Jack son.” STATEMENT RHODE ISLAND INSURANCE COMPANY of Providence, R.

C., April 12.—The value of power fanning by improved ma chinery was demonstrated at a meet ing held recently on the farm of Woodrow McKay three miles out from Lexington on the Winston Road. About 225 farmers of Davidson coun ty attended the meeting which was sponsored by County Agent C. A. Sheffield and attended by A. T. Hol man, agricultural engineer for the extension service at State College. According to Mr. Holman, the meeting was held for the purpose of demonstrating the value of stump blasting, terrace building and the use of improved machinery on the farm. In preparation for the terracing dem onstration 4,200 feet of terraces were staked out in five terraces and each terrace told a distinct story. One was staked but not plowed; the second had the stakes standing with the first fur row plowed; the third showed the first plowing completed; the fourth was about half finished showing the second plowing started and the fifth and last showed the completed Man gum terrace 20 feet wide with the crown 20 inches higher than the wa ter furrow. Using these terraces as a demons tration, the work on each one was carried to full completion showing how a good Mangum terrace is made with power farm machinery and soil erosion thereby controlled. The farm ers attending heard some excellent talks on the use of farm machinery from W. T. Hall, manager of the farm. Following this morning ses sion, a barbecue dinner was served by Mr. McKay after which the use of pyratol in removing stumps was demonstrated. Mr. Holman blew out five stumps of an average diameter of 18 inches with six pounds of pyro tol and at an average cost of seyen cents per stump. County Agent Sheffield stated at the meeting that soil erosion and stump removal are two main prob lems before the farmers of Davidson county. The county used 50,000 pounds of pyratol this season dn stump removal and more attention now is being given to control of soil erosion by terracing. ... sa'ir "-1:.' NOTHING TO OFFER (News and Observer) What happened in Durham Thurs day is.a splendid illustration of the futility of the Republican party so far as any constructive contribution to the welfare of North Carolina is concerned. It might also be taken as representative of the whole attitude of the party in the South. Biennially we hear from Northern Republicans the challenge that the party will drive a wedge into the sol id democracy Of the South. Always the wedge is blunted by the kind of leadership that the party develops in ‘the Southern States, by the kind of policies that the politicians of the party insist on playing. Incidentally, it is the kind of lead ership the leaders' want and the rank and file of the party who have been following hog tied and hog blind don’t seem to know the difference. Of course, there are conflicts within the party. One group assails another group. The first calls the 'second a “hog combine.” But the epithet comes with poor grace and less con viction when the whole outfit is fight ing for a place at the trough. For this leadership, it is not neces sary to put up a respectable opposi tion in the State. It is not necessary to maintain more than a semblance of an organisation. As Johnson J. Hayes told the convention in no un certain words the party requirement is simply one of leadership, and he will be the leader. All of which means a renewal of the old confession that the leadership is concerned only about the scraps that fall from the tables of the Northern Republicans. The Republican party in North Car olina is still wedded to its camp fol lower complex. It has no convictions, no party policies that it can contrib ute to the promotion of a growing State. It has no principles that it thinks worth fighting for. It is con tent to follow in the train of the na tional party’s victory and without aid ing in the battle, to share the spoils. Fresh pastures will cause increased milk flow and a decrease in butterfat content. Keep this in mind when sep arating the milk and settling with the creamery.

DIRECTORS CHAMBER OP COMMERCE MEET Approve Commercial School, Let Contract For Road Signs * and Discuss Matters. At a meeting of the directors of the Asheboro Chamber of Commerce held Tuesday night of last week, A representative of the Georgia-Caro lina School of Commerce, of Bruns wick, Gau, waa heard in a plea for cooperation in the establishment of a branch of the school in Asheboro. The college at present operates 36 branch es in five Southern states. The di rectors were very favorable* to the projpct Another matter which was discuss ed at length was that in regard to a change in schedule on the Southern tine between Asheboro and High Point. The directors are anxious that the schedule be changed in order that the train crew may stay in Asheboro over night instead of in High Point. It is also desired that the change be made in order/that switching at nobn may be dispensed with. Contract was awarded for large road sings to be erected on the four main highways leading into Asheboro. A delegation headed by P. V.
