Why Such Hypocrisy.
y,r. 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.

The ministers endoi^e if, talk for
it, and encourage it in every con
ceivable way, it is to many next
to their Bible, yea to some even
greater. 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.
Leaving the hou*;e the officers
U'acked Edwards directly- to
Squirrels Spur, and the messen
ger stated that they were posi-
ti ve oJ the presence of oti.ier men

SquimFs Spur is at thcs foot
of the, mountains in and about
Hillsville. It is 12 miles from
Mt. Airy andS miles east of Sidna
Allen’s home. It is inaccessible
except by foot and the little, open
space forming a spur in the rocks
is said to make a natural aLd al
most impregnable fortress. Bug
ged rocks stand high on either
side, making excellent places f r
shapshooters to stand l^hind. It
is not believed that it will be pos
sible to force the outlaws with
out a quick rush and possible fur
ther loss of life.

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

ORANGE COUNTY
VOTES
Chapel Hill, March 19.—The
good roads bond election in Or
ange county today was carried by
a majority of 75i to 100. A very
heavy vote was cast, and the con
test was hard fought on both
sides. The injection of politics
was largely the cause of the close
vote. It is really a great victory,
as a week ago the bond advo
cates were by no means sure of
success. The proposition is to
issue $250,000 in bonds to build
modern rpads. By this move to

Weds In a Hurry And Now Repents
New York, March 14—The-
story of a lightning courtship, a
three weeks’ honeymoon, after
which she found herself minus
a young husband and $75,000 was
in special sessions today by “Mrs.
Katherine Ware," when plfused
on trial for alleged defrauding
the Hotel Knickerbocker, out ^ of
board bill«^
' r
“In her home town, ” said Car-
\, ‘ >he was one of the society
aders. Her husband, Dr. Hee-
clw. d|ed about thi^ year^
leaving her a fdtune of about
$200,00.
“Since then she niade fsequent
trip to this city oi Washjintl^to-
purchase weairmig - ap£^l„
Aboiit isix weel^ ag^
bing at the Cbsmopolitan Hotel
tn WoshiiigtoaR, she niddenlsr be>^
came smitten with a poung, inan
named Bryden and marriM him.
The couple weut tc New Orleans
for their honeymoon, Mrs. Hess-
]er at that time, having about
$555,000 worth of securities^nd
$0P,QOO in cash with her. This^
she tells me, she turned over to
her husband. Three weeks after
the marriage, he disapeair^.
She has not seen him since, ;i¥>r
does she know where her valu
ables are.
“When she realised that she
had been victimized, she xxa^ U>
New York. She never com
pletely recovered from the shcfek.^
That she never had any intention
of defrauding the Knickerb^er
is siiown by the fact that she head
considerable amount on depifmt;
in the Astor Trust Company
in the North River Sa^di^ link.
■-She'never weuld haw ira^
herself in this trouble if the Hotel
Knickerbocker had accepted her
certified check on the Astor Trust
Coi&pany. She is an extr^ely
unfortunate woman."
Mr. Carpel futher stated that his
client about two years agO;. h'ad
been swindled by a New York
brokerage house out of $20,000.
He is now drawing up papers to
recover the money. . *
