June 7. — lli reply to a I query from The Nexv York Evening , World. A. W. McLean, democratic na- L tional committeeman for North Carolina, has declared the argument of Governor , Smith. Nexv York, in signing the prohjbi p (ion repeal bill relating to state's rights j "is of no force." , The New York World’s query is as follows: ! ' “What is your opinion of state’s rights in respect to prohibition as de fined by Governor Smith in repealer memorandum? Please xvire briefly col , lect."- ! Air. AlcLeau’s reply is as follows: "Answering your inquiry as contained ; in telegram, in my opinion the question . of abridging the rights of the states by 1 amendment to the federal constitution . has been settled since the Civil war. Therefore, Governor Smith's argument contained in his memorandum* in re . spect to the eighteenth amendment is of . no force, since that amendment has been* * regularly ratified by the states and is r noxv as much a part of the organic law , as any of the previous amendments. , The sentiment in this state is over , xvhclmingly against any modification of tlie Volstead act. Our legislature, which adjourned in March, enacted U laxv in all respects similar to the Yol . stead act and will use the police forces . of the state to aid and supplement fed eral enforcement of the prohibition laws.” In a telegram to a Washington nexvs agency Monday, Air. AlcLean asserted that he believed the sentiment of the people of the United States \vas against any modification of the prohibition law , and favored sriet enforcement of the law.. Anti-prohibition forces, he said, will at tempt to nominate a candidate favorable to the modification of the Volstead act. . More Expected of Country Tbap of City Paper. If it won't for printing local names the smalltoxvif newspapers would have I a hard time convincing its subscribers that it is superior to the city paper that circulates in its field, says tlie Kansas City Star. It is expected that the country paper will notice a thousand and one little things the big city publication passes tip. One busy day in the Alacou Daily. Chronicle-Herald office the entire writing . force was kept on the jump by two po litical conventions, an iinporant ease in circuit court, a farmers’ institute and other matters, but entirely forgot that a certain enterprising dealer had made an improvement. lie called up to let the editors know. “You fellows running a newspaper, yet?" "We’re trying to,” replied the man in ; the nexvs room. “Well, you failed to get that item yes terday.” “What item?” “I repainted my delivery truck, and j . there wasn’t a word in your old paper ! about it.” j A woman called and demanded to i . know the name of the party who. had j turned in the story about a function of jj J some sort in the country. Os course, j jit xvas withheld, pending the reason j ' for the question. 'j j “Well, I'll find out!” she snapped i ; back. “What was wrong with the story?” j “Everything.” “We’re sorry—can’t you tell us what | the trouble was?” “The person who wrote it mentioned j every man who took part but my hus- j band.” she shrilled, “and left his name J for spite.” * THE CONCORD TIMES TEN PERSONS Ht'RT IN ELECTRIC TRAIN ACCIDENT Two Trains Ran Together at Riverside, Ya..
