Wets Want To Repeal State Liquor Laws, Says Leader of Dry Forces Editor The Times: The real issue in North Carolina now is not the 18th Amendment, but our own State Prohibition laws. The wets are certain that the 18th - Amendment is going to be repealed i.'gardless as to how North Carolina ' votes, and most of the dries seem to feel the same way about it. The wets do not need, therefore, the vote of North Carolina to repeal the 18th Amendment. They are very much concerned, however, that North Carolina shall vote ‘•wet’’ in order that they may have the backing tc repeal the prohibition laws of tins state. The Biblical Recorder of Septem ber 20, quotes an editorial from the Winston-Salem Journal from which we quote the following paragraph. "Let no one be deceived. The re sult of this election on Nevember 7 is going to determine whether or not whiskey distilleries and liquor stores or saloons shall come back to the, state of North Carolina.” ] Now I am confident tnat u men and women that say they are drv will go to the polls on'November, 7 and vote dry, the dries will hold this state.- But some that claim to bo ardent prohibitionists say they arc not going to vote; that it will be a waste of time. If enough of that class stav at home on November 7 it will be they that turn the state over to the brewery interests. It was not the 28 percent in Texas tliat voted that won the battle - for repeal. But it was the 72 percent that stayed at home and surrendered the State without a fight. And so in all the states that have voted for re peal; it was not the one third that voted that won the battle. There was no battle. The two thirds that stay ed at home simply gave the states over to the enemy. And my honest, convictu n is that these stay-at-j homes will be accountable before God, with the wets, for the evil con sequences cf this backward step. It, is as though a heartless and cruel; enemy were invading our State for;, the sole purpose of befouling our: pure air with poisen gas, and do-i streying our people and plundering, our homes, and we throw down ouf| arms and take to cover without fif-j it;g a shot, and leave the enemy in p-s,session ->f the field. And indeed the most cruel ami, sham ! ss enemy that ever shod the! blood of innocence, and hurled strong men and women into the pit of des-.1 pair is invading cur states. And many of our citizens, men and wo men. have surrendered the field to this home-wrecking enemy without making any resistance. | Evangeline Booth, who got her in I formation from years of experience ' in trying to save the wrecks of hu j manity, caused by the drink habit says: Drink has drained more blood, hung more crepe, sold more homes, plunged more people into bankruptcy, aimed more villians, slain more chil dren, snapped more wedding rings, defiled more innocence, blinded more eyes, twisted more limbs, dethroned mere manhood, dishonored woman‘ hood, broken more hearts, blasted lives, driven more to suicide, and dug more graves than any other poisoned ecurge that ever swept its death dealing waves across the world.”— Biblical Recorder, Sept. 27, 1933. Finally, unless you are prepared to bear the blame with the wets, for bringing back the meanest and most : enseless business in the world, go to the polls on November 7 and vote ”No Convention.” Yes, go to the polls. lion t wait for someone to go after you. Get up arly, gather up your neighbors, and go in a body and vote the ballot that will not only save the state the ex pense of holding the convention, but also the disgrace and humiliation of going into this most soul-destroying, home-wrecking business in the world. Show that you are not afraid to do the right thing, and are made of sterner stuff than to lie down in the stream and make a bridge for the brewers to roll their whiskey barrels ever vou. J. K.

Sept. 21— 6tc Ad»iinistrcit'' x j Garage Men Adopt Code Fair Practice Governing All Lines Automobile Work Automobile repair, garage, filling station and battery service operators adopted a code of fair practice at a meeting hold in The Times office Friday night, the code to become ef fective Wednesday, October 4th.

The Chilton Rapid Flate Rate and Repair Data was adopted ns a basis of all automobile repair charges, thus putting each garage in this county on one rate for all repair jobs regardless of size. The agreement, copy 01 which is carried in an advertisement in this issue of the paper, also sets forth fixed charges for battery recharg ing and battery service; wrecker service and towing; tire repairing; washing, greasing and polishing. Under the National Recovery Act it will be considered unfair compe tition for any garage or automobile service station of any type to take work for anything less or under conditions than those set out in the code of fair practices as adopted by the representatives in meeting Fri day night, whether such operator subscribes to the code or not. Penalty j for failure to comply with the agreed code of fair practices will be, ac cording to regulations sent out by the National Recovery Board, taking away of the blue eagle and publica tion cf the name of such business.

A Visit Willi Be Appreciated Standard Oil Station Broadway at Jordan GATHERING LOCUST SEED IS PROFITABLE State College Head . State* Black Locust Short Throughout Land — The demand for black locust seed ■ last season was greater than the sup ply available and indications are 1 that the demand will continue through this season. nus demand ior oiacx iwuai ' seed should offer mountain farmers a new source of income,” says R. W. Graeber, extension forester at State Co lege. ‘‘The seed are not difficult to harvest and there is a good crop indicated in the western part of the I State this fall. The black locust is i one of the best trees for use on re | claiming washed land and control, ling future erosion. The tree was 1 taken to Germany and Italy for this 1 purpose and is now being used ex 1 tensively in those two countries. Italy is using black locust in the 500 million dollar 'and reclamation and soil stabilization project which is very similar to President Roosevelt’s Tennessee Valley project.” Graeber finds that this country has not supplied the demand for black locust seed so far needed in the reforestation and erosion control work being conducted. Last year when the State of Indiana wanted 15,000 pounds of seed, she had to go to Germany to get the supply. Yet the black locust is an American tree. Tennessee bought 3,000 pounds of seed from Germany also. Mr. Graeber says black locust seed are selling for good prices. The North Carolina State Forester paid 00 cents a pound for some last sea son and one of the private nurseries i paid a higher price. This indicates xnat some laim** might harvest the seed to good ad vantage this fall Plump seed from ; thrifty, vigorous trees should be gathered as soon as mature and al- : lowed to dry or cure in a dry. well ventilated p'ace. The pods may be hulled like peas or beans A robin’s note isn’t so very musi- i cal ,but it compels insiar.t attention i BOY SCOUTS ENJOY PICNIC AND PARTY Mis* Henry Hostess to Brevard Troop at Annual Af fair To Boys « '■■■ ■ — -» t Miss Violet Henry and mother gave a very enjoyable supper to Bre vard troop of Boy Scouts on the beautiful lawn of her home Friday night.

Miss Henry and her mother have been warm friends of the troop for years. Mrs. Henry donated to the scouts a let on which to build a hut several years, ago.
