ANDREW J. CONNER, PUBLISHER "CAROUNA, CAROLINA. HEAVEN'S BLESSINGS ATTEND HER" SUBSCRIPTION PER ANNUM $1.00 GLUME XXXVI RICH SQUARE, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, N, C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1927 NUMBER 3S KILLED IN AUTUMOBILE ACCIDENT WasbingtoD, N. C., Man Meets Death on Route 30 Near Aulander- Deld for Trial Aulander, N. C., August 28.— The body of Harry Pholman, who died at Taylor’s Hospital, Wash ington, N. C.. at 1:15 Sunday morning, was carried to Balti more for burial. Four hours be fore his death, Mr, Pholman was fatally injured when the Ford touring car he was driving five miles south of Aulander collided with a Star’Coupe, driven by T. H. Emery, also of Washington, N. C. Mr. Pholman was coming to Aulander to take his wife back to Washington after she had been visiting Mrs W. H. Burden, of Aulander. It is thought that Emery had been to Ahoskie and was returning to Washington Emery states that he met three cars in a row and the third one was the one with which he col lided. The cars struck each other a glancing blow. The Ford, which was being driven by Pholman, then ran a little ways, turned over, and was ditched. The Star automobile, after the impact, ran a little ways, then curved to the left on account of the left-hand front wheel being knocked off and dived into the left embank ment, Emery states that he was running arourtd forty miles an hour. Emery received practi cally no injury. Pholman was accompanied by Dr. R. F. Benthall, of Aulander, to the hospital at Washington. He died on account of the base of his skull being fractured. He was 36 years old and well re spected in Washington where he has been Hying for the past twelve years. Until recently he was bookkeeper for the Pamlico Fertilizer Company, of Washing ton, but he was at the time of his death connected with Harri son Hardware Company of that town. He was an active mem ber of the Methodist Church. He leaves a wife and ten year old daughter in Washington, N. C., besides his relatives in Baltimore. Md. Emery was placed under a thousand dollar bond by Mayor Lacy M. Early, of Aulander, and failing to furnish bond was car ried to Windsor, N. C., to jail by Policeman G. W. Mitchell, of Aulander. poteTasi lTcals Mrs. L. R Gilbert, Weldon, and Miss Mamie Baugham Gray, La Grange, spent last week with Mr. J. R Baugham.

A T. Howell, of Greens boro, arrived Saturday night and is assisting in a revival at the Baptist church this week. Mrs, Euzelia Doffermyre and sons spent Friday with Mrs. Ed gar Britt of Mapleton. The Prohibition Laws Editor Roanoke-Chowan Times: When I wrote my article on Prohibition for your paper some weeks ago I hoped to get some ex pression of opinions from persons who,like myself,saw and deplored the conditions at this time preva lent in this country. But I have only succeeded in getting some dissertations on the evils of drink ing, which of course all decent people were of the same mind be fore. I also referred to conditions just prior to the passing of the 18tn amendment, not to forty or fifty years ago. How Mr. Panton or anyone else can see how a ‘‘boot legger” or distiller can get any encourage ment out of my article is a puzzle to me. At any rate mv desire was to discourage them by having some law which would make their profession unprofitable and so put an end to it. I freelv confess that public drunkenness is not so much in evidence as before we had the prohibition law, but I maintain that private drinking is at least as bad if not worse. Now 1 am going to make an assertion which I don’t think can be suc cessfully controverted, and that is that I don’t know a single in dividual who has ceased to drink on account of the Prohibition law and I know several who take an occasional drink now who did not drink at all before we had the law. As for myself personally I have been doing as most men have done, taken a drink when I want ed it in my own home; rarely elsewhere, but if I never saw or tasted another drop of liquor it would matter nothing to me, I do not believe the honest prohi bitionists really know the condi tions under which we live, or they would join the moderate men who like myself want to change them and if possible better them: they couldn’t be much worse. History teaches us that no sumptuary law has ever been enforced, and whijp a great many countries have tried out more or less drastic prohibi tory laws only two provinces in the'dominion of Canada now have a “bone dry” prohibition law, while all the others have tried the law, and have now modified it. Laws nor constitutsona! amend ments do not change men’s opin ions nor their physical tastes,and attempts to do so only result in hypocracy and disorder. Why not look at this question in a sane and sensible manner; admit that while the abuse of liquor is a great evil the use of it is not a sin, and the use of it can probably be regulated while ab solute prohibition cannot be en forced, or at least has not been so far. That the prohibition law is broken everywhere the files of the daily papers and the court records prove beyond a doubt, but it does not seem to discour age the breakers of the law to any appreciable degree. North ampton County Court has just sentonced one for the third time for this crime. I now unhesitatingly state that I am :Ebr the absolute repeal of the 18th amendment and the Volstead laws, and let each State manage its own affairs in its own way. In my opinion it is the only way in which the admitted liquor evil will ever be successfully managed. Railing at people who do not agree with you never has accomplished anything and never will. Why not admit that the other man has a right to his opinion, even tho you think his opinion wrong. Point out to your children the evils of liquor, but don’t tell them it is a sin to use NORTHAMPTON 4-H GIRL’S ENCAMPMENf AT LAMP LEACH JUDGE PARKER DIES SUDDENLY On Friday afternoon, August the 19th, cars loaded with bags or boxes of supplies came into Jackson carrying one or two 4 H Club girls. After a long wait to prepare a third truck thirty seven girls with their Home Agent, Miss Rainwater and her helpers. Misses Annie Belle Gay and Mary Taylor of Jackson and Miss Hat tie' Mae Parker and mother, Mrs, J. J. Parker, of Lasker, headed their way toward Camp Leach to spend several days camping. Car trouble delayed the party and when the trucks drove into camp the entire group sounded a note of homesickness. But after a night’s rest, early swimming and the brightness and warmth of the sun everybody began to cheer up and by night you haven’t seen a livlier group than this one. Miss Taylor’s efficient leading in the 4 H songs vou should have been listening in if you wanted to hear some real good singing. Miss Gay’s and Miss Parker’s reading lent cheer and enthus iasm. The girls were divided into four groups and each even ing a contest of stunts was put on by each, having as judges the three truck drivers. Garland Mid- yette, Albert Lassiter and Char lie Erhardt. Demonstrations in canning' fruits and vegetables were given by Miss Anna Trentham, Home Demonstration Agent of Martin County. Most of the girls de cided they would go home and try putting into practice the principles they learned about canning. When it comes to first aid treatment and talks on health Miss Trentham has them all beaten. The girls had oppor tunity to put into practice some of this knowledge right in camp Each evening and on Sunday morning the devotional hour was in charge of Mrs. Parker. Very helpful, practical talks were given the girls and some good thought must have lodged in the memory of each girl that will prove a help down the years. Before returning Tuesday morn ing the party went over to Bath and saw one of the oldest churches in the State. An unu sual amount of interest was shown while the guide told that the brick on the floor came from England, the candle sticks were given by King George II and other interesting facts about the church. All the party reached Jackson safely Tuesday afternoon and re ported a pleasant, profitable trip. Lois Rainwateb, Home Demonstration Agent. Reserve Certificates A number of members of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Association in Northampton coun ty, have recently asked me something about the INVEST- m;ent reserve fund cer tificates which the Associa tion is offering to issue. I am planning to be in Jackson the first Monday, the 5th of Septem ber, and if there are any mem bers who desire further informa tion on the subject I shall be glad to discuss this matter with them. David H. Brown. District Supervisor. Asheville, Aug, 30. — Judge Raymond G. Parker of Winston- Salem died here this morning at 3 o’clock of heart failure.

He came here and held court Monday and was to continue for the term but died during the night. It is pre sumed the body will be taken to his native county, Northampton, for burial, it moderately, for they won't be lieve you long, 1 have written these lines hop ing that thev may in some way benefit my country, but I admit my hopes are faint.
