Judge Bryson in sentencing the vari ous law violators last Friday took oc casion to congratulate the citizenship of Lincoln County upon having effi cient, vigilent officers of the law, who are fearlessly doing their duty in try ing to free this county of the blockade whiskey evil, and a number of citizens were heard to return the compliment, by saying that his honor, and solicitor Huffman, and the juries had given the officers the kind of backing that will tend to greatly lessen law breaking. CITIZENS SHOULD HELP CIALS OFFI bride saying the ceremony. On Saturday evening following July the 17th, another daughter of Mrs. Welch. Miss Mozelle. ried to Mr. George Watts, Rev. J. O. ' Irwin, of Dallas, saying the words that made the husband and wife. Today July 22, Mr. Welch's home, where her uncle, William Mauney, lives, who today was 89 years old, a reunion was given in his honor. Quite a large number of relatives and friends were present to honor this fine old gentleman. The great number of crimes in which liquor figures should cause all good citizens to assist their officers in preventing these crimes by helping to break up the illegal liquor traffic. The officials of Lincoln County and city have made a wonderful effort in the past few months in this direction, and the court has given them back ing. Judge Bryson's charge to the grand jury in court here last week bearing on violations of liquor laws was very timely, and to the point; if he had been a preacher he could not have de livered a greater sermon. Then fol lowed Solicitor Huffman, for the state in his fight foriaw enforcement; he is ever vigilant and searching in his examinations of witnesses to get at the bottom of the various liquor cases; with the evidence in and his speech in behalf of the state delivered to the jury there is slim chance for the guilty to escape conviction. The of ficals are having the support of good citizens and the courts, judging from the sentences imposed by Judge Bry son, and results may be expected to flow, and this section rid of the liquor traffic which is damning in its in fluence. The tragedy in Burke county in which ljqnor is reported as figuring is one that should arouse all good citi zens in that and adjoining counties to the evils of the illegal whiskey traffic. The Morganton News Herald in dis cussing the Burke tragedy says: "Again wo have been brought face to face with the horror of the sacri fices exacted by demon rum. Anoth er Burke county home has been ruin ed and the county faces another murder trial that has its cause trace able to blockade liquor. It seems terrible that a young woman who hat ed liquor with all the strength of her being should be the one to give her life because of it, but one of her close friends remarked the other day that if Liilie Kincaid could have thought that the sacrifice of her life would be the means of saving other homes the sor row that liquor had brought to hers, if the shedding of her blood could arouse the people of Burke county to the necessity of rising enmasse against blockade stills and blind tigers she would not have considered she was dy ing in vain. This week's tragedy is horrible to contemplate and should be the means, as it doubtless will be, of arousing the county to continuous and relentless warfare against our greatest enemy. The good people of the county must show a willingness to cooperate with the officers and every effort must me bent to getting rid of the evil." ZION NEWS. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Smith, from Portsmouth, Vs., arrived at the home of D. S. Devine Saturday evening to spend a few weeks. "Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Devine, accom panied by Mrs. Enoch Devine spent Sunday at the home of D. S.

Riser BOLD HIGHWAY ROBBERY IS COMMITTED BY TWO BLACRS Lexington, July 30. -City and coun ty officers have been unable to secure any trace of the two negroes who are reported to have committed one of the boldest highway robberies ever record ed here, when they held up an auto mobile on the Central highway, five miles north of the city Monday after noon, about 2 o'clock, and took $25 at the point of pistols from a Stanly county young man named Smith. According to the story Smith is said to have told Thomasville officers was driving his car northward on the Central highway just beyond Rock Fork creek, two young negroes dressed in overalls dashed out of the woods, flourished pistols and called upon him to hault. He tried to speed up his car, but a shot brought down one of his rear tires and he was then covered vith the guns and robbed of $25, all t.'ie money he had on his person. The negroes then dodged back into the woods, Smith told the officers. This highway is one of the most traveled in the entire state, which adds to the boldness of the crime. WEERLY MARK ETG RAM (U. S.

New Prices on Titan and International Tractors Now Lowest Ever Quoted CTFECTIVE immediately, we make another big -J reduction in the prices of . Titan and Interna tional tractors. These reductions wipe out all former advances and place Titan and International tractors at the lowest prices at which they have ever been sold. International 8-16 $900 This price is about one-fourth less than the price at which t1 e 8-16 sold prior to March of this year. The new figure is the lowest at which it was ever sold. The new price includes all the n ec essary equipment platform, fenders, governor, belt pulley features which must be paid for extra on some tractors. Titan 10-20 $900 This is the lowest price ever quoted on the Titan, considering the equip ment now included (formerly sold extra). Up to March of this year the price was $1,200 today it is $900. At this figure the Titan 3-plow tractor is the best value in the farm power field. The International 15-30 has been reduced to $1,750 lower than it hat ever been before. The man who needs a 4-plow tractor cannot find a better investment than the 1 5-30 at this price. (All prices f. o. b. Chicago.) Considering quality, power, equipment, and the service which follows every machine, Titan and International tractors at these new low price arm unquestionably the best buy in the tractor market. As these prices have been made regardless of manufacturing costs, we do not guarantee to maintain them. These prices certainly justify the immediate purchase of a tractor.

International Harvester company Chicago 92 Branch OF AMERICA (IHCOHPOMTEO) US A. and 15,000 Dealer, in thm Vnittd Stat- Lucky Strike cigarette the statement is made that the ap pointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson, negro committeeman from Georgia, as recorder of deeds in the district of Columbia means the death of the Republican part in the south. That may be true, but it helps the party mightily in those northern and west ern states where the negro vote is considerable. "Now, Mr. President," concludes Mr. Burleson, "suppose you had daughters working in the record er's office, how would you like for your daughters to be bossed by colored man? I know if I had daughter there I would order her home when the negro came into the office.'" Mr. Burleson, who says he is en gaged in mining work in Georgia for several years, asserts that politi cal equality for the negro would cause more trouble, more lynchings and result in more trouble all over the country. In his statement before the Ernst committee, Mr. Linney expressed his conviction that giving the negro the ballot in mass was bad for the Repub lican party, the negro and the state That is a view shared by southern peo ple generally but unfortunately it does not pervail in other sections of the country. The Record agrees that the Linney incident followed by the appointment of Johnson, was a hard blow at Repub licanism of the south. And the worst of rt is that there seems no way of making northern people see the hard conditions until they have lived on this section a year or two. Winton-Salem, July 22.
