been living in >M Stokes county tor

some very sad scenes due to the er
roneous use of liquor. Vie know
thai we have two distinct elements on
the liquor sub jo. t: OIK is wel and the
other is dry. V\ havi two distinct

we have both Wet and dry elements,

'sale use and abuse of this evil as it '
has been a inong us for the last few 1
: years is a shame and disgrace to our I
people. We have many things to con- I
sieer when we tind ourselves en- '
gulfed in bad surroundings due to the
abue of liquor. First we have a sel
fish motive, second those who take
from only a taste to complete intoxi
cation, tlrrd ihe high price of whis
key, wliiih is an inducement to make
and sell it, and fourth the lack of co
operation on the part of the people '
toward the olli. ers.
How, then, . an we improve the con
ditio.is of this liquor business'.' I.et
us lay aside politics and every other
obstacle that pertains to the en
couragv nent of this trouble and unite
for law and order, and this drinking
and immorality will move out to stay.
I.et u- ele. tot' .ers who stand for law
and ii'i;.r and who will execute the
:.iw to the ie'.i.'r without fe.ir to a::;
man. After all ef this wi will then,

THE DAN BURY REPORTER
has accomplished thus far in sub- :
tilling anil eliminating this liquor ma
king and selling.
I say without fear that the next,
election will determine in full what I
the people of this county stand for,]
because the women must raise their .
voices in defense of their sons and
daughters, and for the moral uplift- j
inn of humanity, or they must sink in
shame to their husbands and have no :
voice in the home.
T say the time is here for that ele- ,
ment of our people who stand for law |
and order, not only on the liquor *|Ues
tion, but all questions that arc for the
betterment of our people to stand
'together in the noble tause for hu-j
inanity. I
This is no time for deceiving. Let!
the issues come Ivfoiv us as they '
'really are. I belie\e when the time |
actually comes for us to act that we
