Does Prohibition .Prohibit.
The Durham Herald takea a shot at
the situation therein regard to whiskey
drinking as follows : "There is perhaps
more 3anday drinking in this town now
than before we had prohibition for the
reason that the man who violates the
law everyday in the week cannot be ex
pected to have any regard for the Sab
bath." If the lavabiding seiititneut iu ,
town is uot strong euougti to cpo with
those who pe.sist in breaking lts it
looks like serious proposition. Raleigh
Pose.
This is the treueral result of all prohib
itory laws in all stoiiims, everywhere so
f a-r as we have been able to see, hear or
kuaw of tneir workings from che birth
of prohibition up to the present date.
Prohibition does not prohibit or has not
so far, up to the present date at any
place where it has evr been u law and
we do n.)t b lieve it ever will. This is
our opinion publicly expressed, not only
now but on a goo 2 many other occasions
and we hav never yet seen, &, place un
der prohibitory laws, where drinking
was stopped, or 1-ssened wh le the drunk
bibitisan evil, so is prohibition and

Card Players Fined.
Goldeboro, N. C, April I5thv Special
Before the grand jury adjourned this
weHj warrants were is-$uei against a
number f promineut people f.r playing
cards. The case attracted quite a dehl
of attention and baa caused considerable
comment. Tne parties were all reputa
ble business men who had be-n i dulging
iu social game, The cases came up be
fore Judge Moore yesterday, and the de
fendants all submitted. A fine of $50
and costs was imposed. Raleigh Post.
This Pems to mean that the people
are beginning to tfrako up to the impor
tance of enforcing :he law, this i9 a it
should be, the law let it be eitter a good
or a bad law should be enforced so long
as it remains the law of the land, aud
the sooner grand jurors and jus:ics of
the peace get to doing their duty, observ
iug th ir oaths and euforci.ig the Criini
rial law of the laud, the quicker it will
be seen thai the morals of the country
are improved and improving. This law
agaiust gambling ir? an old on, and has
been openly violated in some places ever
since its passage. Even young boys,
who have ever think themselves men
have engaged in thia sport for past time
until the midnight cock gave warning to
them to disper.-e. We . suspeet right in
this town it has been done, break it up
by enforcing the law. Let non escape.
No man r boy who is not too good to
break or violate laws should be consider
ed too good to be punished. Punish all,
treat all alike.
