Editor: Will you kindly allow an hum ble layman space in your paper, to discuss what I consider the most dafnriable hypocrisy in mod ern times, and a blight and re flection upon the intelligence of the 20th century. I notice in the March 18th issue of The Durr Sun, where the ministers of the various churches of the city of Durham have met, discussed, considered, and resoiuted as fol lows: the pastors association en dorses THE SUN. Resolution Adopted by the Min ister’s Association of Dur ham, N. C., March 18, 1912, Resolved that this Association wishes to express our very hear ty approval of the position taken by the Durham Daily Sun in re fusing to allow liquor advertise ments to appear in that paper. \Ve also vvish to commend most heartily the stand taken in the edittorials of the paper on all mor al and religious questiorls, and particularly on the prohibition question and tne enio: cement of all tnelaws on our statute books.

They have'‘to have it early Sunday morning as an in spiration in helping prepare the morning sermon, and in the even ing to suggest the proper text for enlightenment and guidance of their misguided flock. This paper to, which is none other than The Raleigh News & Ob server, carries an advertisement of the deadly and damnable Cig arette. Is it any wonder, then that we have atheiasts, backslid ers, and non-church goers, when the only men we are to look to, and pattern after as models of the living faith, openly and want- omly practice such bald faced hypocrisy. Were the Durham niinisters aware of this advertise-^ ment when they met and resoiut ed, or were they content to let such a small evil of minor im portance go unnoticed, because forsooth some of their best pay ing members were employed in these factories where these dead ly rolls of death are manufacture ed. While I believe in temper ance, and practice it in my daily life, yet I would rather that my offspring drink of every known alcoholic concoction, than to be an addicted and habitual user of the poisonous, life sapping, health undermining, intellect destroy ing, deadly Cigarette. What say you ministers and disciples of the ever living God. Let us all kneel in prayer for the poor mis guided apostles of the American Tobacco Co. An Humble Layman. J^k Albright, editor of the Mt. Ai^ News, at midnight Monday to The Greensboro News stated that Sidna Allen and 12 of his men had Veen surrounded at Squirrel’s Spur^ 12 miles from Mt. Airy, and that with day break the condon formed during tile night would begin to close in. The news was carried to Mt. Aiiy by a messenger from the poss^- men and he asked that every available man in the town go lm» mediately to the 'aid of the 40 men who are determine that the toext chapter in the Hillsville tra gedy shall be written at Squir rel’s Spur with the dawn 6f a new day. At midnight a party to reinforce the band of direc tives and' county officers was be^ ing formed. The messenger to Mt. Airy brought news of the finding of Wesley Edwards in his mountain cabin at sundown. With the ap- pearan : e of the officers Ed warns jumped through a back door and escaped, going down the moun tains and toward Squirrel Spur. He left his pistol and rifle laying upon a board bench in front of his cabin. ' A sister told tho pos- semen that Sidna Allen was at the house during the morning; that he had two bad wounds and that when ho left he told Wes’ to cofue„to Sqairrel's Spur.' after darK. “Sidna Fr'.id all the hoi;- would be there,'’ she said.

Hillsville, Va., Maich 19--The chase of the Allen outlaws who «»hot up the Carroll coi|nty court house last Thursday and now isave five deaths to their score for that sortie has settled down to a siege. All that the posses know is that the gang probably is up in the Chestnut ridge. Travelers coming down from Fancy Gap said the Allefts had deserted their stand at Squirrel Spur and plung ed into the still thicker country over toward the Patrick county line. That is more of a wilder ness than their previous stand. At some places the boundary lines have never been located. It now looks like an attempt to starve out the assassins. The posses have been sspead over the roads, and the cross roads and by ways have been well covered. By this method they hoi>e to cut off food supplies and probably medi cal attention. Detective Dan Baldwin was starting off tonight f^om Roanoke for Mt. Airy on the Carolina line hoping to work down through the Ararat river county to mieet the Hillsville posse working up bv&r Valunteer gap. This area is a howling wilderness of swamp and brush. Jack Allen, one of the brothers who did not take part in the court house assassination, came into town today to consult a lawyer about the attachments which the ituthorities are making on Sidna and Floyd’s properties. Allen galloped up to the courthouse and created a furore. The towns folk thought he was heading an other raid. He ventured that his brothers probably bad shot in self-defense ^ Millinery Opening Misses Morrow Bason & Green will have their millinery opening beginning at eight o’clock Thurs day nip:ht March 28 and includ ing Friday and Saturday March 29th and 30th.
