Weue* of the ronditiona her* ftir
months past It haa bean an open se
cret that something waa going with
tht- morphine that waa kept here by
these who had a right to have it in
their possession. It ia well known hy
those in the practice of medicine, aa
it ia practiced today, morphine ruts
a large figure. Some people are so af
fllrtad that about all that • doctor
ran do for them ia to deaden their suf
fering by the uae of an opiate, and
morphine ia the most in uae. It ia for
this reason that it ia always in de
mand to some dag las.
When one htmiyaa addicted to the
habit of uaing this drug it ia almost
impossible to rear get rid of the habit.
Since the government undertook to
suppress the uae of thia dangerous
drag by strict federal lw*a it haa
been hard to secure. Eeary doctor or
dngfiM must account to the federal
officers for eeery grain of the drug
he uaea snd how he used It and who
was his patient. In thia way th* gov
eminent is undertaking ta suppress
the habit.

who could have learned hia tenet
place. All thia waa kept from the pub
lic, but the federal officer* were in-'
formed and came here repeatedly to
try to locate the guilty partiea, tot
they could never find even a clue to
where the diuga were going.

he appear* to hare been greatly
need of hia afraaTiind doae of Aa
drug. After being locked op ha bag
ged for a doctor and became almoet a
mania*-, and nothing hut a big doae of
morphine would quiet him. It araa
while ia thia condition that he told
the whole atory of hia connection with
the many rebbariaa. Since than ha ha*
shown a diapoaition to uauim tha
whole wretched buaineaa and appear*
to be ho neat hi hia confeaaion.
The atory ma aomething like thia:

In hia early man hot
years ago, he had a difficulty with a
man named Atkina out in the Little
Mountain section and aa the result
be killed Atkina. For thia crime he
and wu pardoned some few jntn if*.
A year ago he waa IMnjr and working
in the city of Winston-Salem. Re waa
known to be addicted to the use of mor
phine. One day, he tella, he waa ap
proached by a man who once Hrad at
Mount Airy and ia known aa a Moat
Airy man, he haa not lived here
in many yaara and ia known to bat few
people here. Thia man approached
Mara hall and told him how it would

hare and aacutt a Mr amount of mor
phine. He told Marshall that he would
pay him the turn of MOO and dhride
the drags secured with Urn if he
would come along and help do the Job.
Marshall tella how he accepted the
offer and the other man watched on
the outalde while he entered the store
and secured the booty. The flrat Jab
they polled off waa West's drag
store last August. Since that time
they hare committed a number of
thefts that hare not bean made public
bat ware reported to the federaT aa
thorMee. The ugliest feature of the
coafaaalen la that the originator of
the tills was backed by what Mar

f believe our patroaa an anxious
for their children ta have a place to
gat tba neeeaaary exerciss at una,
but it ta hard for them ta realise the
n«ed of It aa keenly aa a leather, un
less they could ba present at recess a
few times and see their hoys aad girts
standing around seemingly onintenst
*d in any game because they laalize
that tba play ground is not sufficient
ly large enough to engage in tils game
they deein ta play. All ehwina
should play and he active at larsss,
bacsuse nothing will take tta place in
refraahing them for tha work that is
to follow, tt la a known test, that
children who are active at cacaaa a**
better students than thoes who are
not.
Now there la another important
reason why all children should have
adequate (day grounds for tha taasas
grinds and that ia this: If they are
not playing they an doing something
and that something la vary often de
trimental to the discipline of the
school and heat interest of the pupils.
Their energies an often misdirected,
while they an allowed to stand around
in groups and plat. In some instances
they engage in profane language, that

Crt in. Sometimes they will all learn,
ing grouped up, something of inter -
rat out of school, and as a result
