SALISBURY MAN
LAYS BOOZE LOW
Mr. Welch Contends That
Prohibition Has Made
New Condition There.
That the growth of Salisbury has
been due to prohibition more than any
thing else is the belief of C. L. Welch,
of that city, who has live din Salis
bury since 1S82. Mr. Welch la the own
er of two theaters in Salisbury and
has been attending the moving pic
ture exposition as a representative
from his city.
According to Mr. Welch, when he
first moved tc Salisbury in 1882 tne
city was one of the dirtiest looking
places In the State. Everybody who
had aspirations to get rich was con
nected with whiskey in one way or an
other. There were r.o less than six
big distilleries there. All other busi
ness enterprises were secondary to the
liquor industry and the town had be
come a kind of stagnated municipal
ity. I have dealt in real estate more
than anything else in Salisbury." ex
plained Mr. Welch, "and for that rea
son I have always studied conditions
that contributed to the growth of the
city. As soon as prohibition came Into
effect, I noticed the change. Instead
of concentrating on the liquor busi
ness, th people began to turn their
heads in other directions. Better build
ings began to be constructed. Enter-
prises that tend to help any city were
undertaken and the whole section be
gan to take on a different atmosphere.
Since prohibition the city has made
! great strides from the almost intoler
able condition it was in during the
booze era. It is no doubt that pro
hibition made Salisbury."
In speaking of changes in that city,
Mr. Welch especially dealt with the tre
mendous rise in real estate values. He
declared that all stores In Salisbury
that rented for $50 a month just four
-years ago are now renting for $250 a
month. Only a year ov so ago he
bought a lease on a building for a
monthly price of $185. This was con
sidered almost fabulous for that build
ing at the time, and the owners prac
tically fell on his neck when he offer
ed that price. Mr. Welch is now re
ceiving $500 a month rent on the
building, making a clear profit of $315
each month.
Mr. Welch was born 12 miles from
Charlotte, but left home when he was
18 years old and secured a job on the
railroad. For 23 years he was an engi
neer on passenger trains through this
section. He had always been fasci
nated by real estate, however, and
Boon began to deal in it during his
career on the railroad. After making
marked success he resigned his posi
tion and went into the real estate busi
ness in Salisbury. For many years he
has kept in touch with every develop
ment of the city and largely aided In
its growth by his enterprises.

TYPHUS VIOLENTLY
SWEEPING RUSSIA

ly in the Odessa, Baku, Turkestan and

On Road to Boneyard
"I have just finished a treatment
of your wonderful remedy and can
say it has done wonders for me al
ready. For the past Ave 3fears I hava
been unable to eat any but the light
est food and that but sparingly as any
food caused me to. bloat with gas.
I was reduced to a keleton of ninety
pounds, "and was oi the road to the
boneyard. A friend In Birmingham
sent me a bottle of Mayr's Wonderful
Remedy, which I took, and I am, sure
it will entirely cure ne of my trouble,
judging from what It brought from
me and the way. 1 feel." It is a
'simple, harmless preparation that re
moves the catarrhal mucus from the
Intestinal tract and allays the inflam
mation which causes practcially all
stomach, liver and Intestinal ailments,
including appendicitis. One dose will

MOVIE SHOW HAS j
BEENADMIRABLE1
Promoters Declare That it
Has Exceeded Exposition
Held in Atlanta.
The Southern Motion Picture Exposi- f
tion which is coming to a close here
at 12 o'clqck Friday night is the best
exposition ever held anywhere in tne
South or anywhere in the country,
in the opinion of Herbert C. Wales, of
Washington, D. C, general secretary
of the convention, and the moving pic
ture men of Charlotte and North Car
olina and the civic bodies of Charlotte
with the co-operation of the newspapers,
are largely responsible.
Mr. Wales expressed these sentiments
following the last official session of
movie men at the Selwyn Hotel at 1
o'clock Friday. The meeting was one
in which the promoters of the exposi
tion got together to compare notes, to
take inventory of the exposition and to
consider what had been accomplished
as a result of it. Others agreed" with
Mr. Wales that the exposition has been
a happy event both from the point of
view of the people engaged in the movie
industry and from the viewpoint of the
public. The optimistic statement made
at the banquet Thursday night by all
the speakers as to the success of the
exposition was not exaggeration, but
was a real truth, according to Mr.
Wales.
"It was largely the purpose of the
exposition", said he, "to educate the
public In regard to pictures, as to how
they are made, what the producers and
exchange men and theatre owners have
to contend with and something of what
the industry means to the public. As
Charlotte is the greatest distributing
center in the South, except Atlanta, it
was thought this would be a good place
to have the exposition. The wisdom of
selecting. Charlotte has been' fully vin
dicated. The exposition here was a
much greater success than the- one
held in Atlanta a year ago. There is no
reason why Charlotte shouldn't become
an even greater movie center than it is j
ttt present.
"We have had splendid co-operation
here in carrying out the exposition and
everybody connected with it is greatly
for that co-operation. We are indebted
to the Chamber of Commerce especially
and the general public of Charlotte for
that fine banquet given us at the
Chamber of Commerce ' building last
nieht and I'm sure everybody there
wili take away with them pleasant
memories of that occasion and of other
incidents of th first tnntinn nirti7T-o o-v.
position ever held in Charlotte." I

interesting program is promised there,
a grand march and a dance to brinft
une evening to a climax about midnight.

something of our common history and
form cf government.
"If we can turn this country into
one big schoolhouse and drive the prin
ciples upon which our Government is

more screams from Mrs. Elvee, but
the bullet missed the mark and the
terror-stricken girl opened the door and
dashed down the hall, with her hus
band in pursuit. She slipped and fell
to the floor as she reached the end
of the hall, and McElvee, Yates told
the police, stooped over her, placed the
pistol over her heart and fired. Then
