Mclver, President Poteat To Speak Against Repeal At Meeting Of Tuckaseigee Association JUDGE ALLEY SENTENCES HAYWOOD MAN TO CHAIB Homer Brown, convicted of the first degree murder of his wife, was sentenced to die in the eleetrie chair by Judge Felix E. Alloy in Haywood county superior court, Saturday. The di'te for electrocution was set for August 18. The prisoner will be removed to "death row" in (he State's prison at Raleigh within a few days. The murder occurred in the Fines Creek section of Haywood county. According to testimony offered by the state, Brown intercepted his wife as she was walking along a mountain trail with her father and her two children and fired upon her without warning. She died a few hours after ward in the Haywood coonty hospital. Brown was convicted last week, but Judge Alley deferred passinp sen tence until Satuvday. Slaying of human beings has be come rath"r a costly pastime, in Haywood, it wouldi seem, for three other men, convicted in killing cases, s?.t the Haywood court, drew sentences of long terms, at the hands of Judge Alley, after being convicted of sec ond degree murder and manslaughter. Brown is the first white man ever to draw the death sentence in a Haywood court. RECOMMEND DISCONTINUANCE OF TALLULAH FALLS ROAD ?T. S. Prilchard, an examiner, hi', recommended to Ihe Litcrstate Com nxeree Commission that the receiver for the Tallulah Falls Railroad be authorized to abandon the line, which extends from Cornelia, Ga., a distance of 57 miles, to Franklin. Clayton, Ga., and Franklin, X. C., have op posed the abandonment of the ro:*d, and placed their position before the Georgia Public .Service Commiss-on at a hearing held in Atlanta 0:1 May 10. Construetie.ii on the road was started in 1882, at which true it was contemplated that it be extended through to Knoxville. It lias been in receivership since l!)2.'l. The receiver, J. F. Gray, in filing the application, Informed the commission that it is impossible lor him to make it pay. It is thought that, while Franklin has opposed the abandonment of the road, freight charges to shippers in and out of Franklin will not be higher, in fact may be lower, if the road is jiuiked, as Sylva and Dil^s boro are now connected with Frank lin by a splendid, concrete road, re placing the mud road that was in use when wagons from Macon hauled freight across the Cowees, in the old days, before the Tallulah Fells Road was extended into Franklin. Tf the road i? abandoned, as is recommended to the commission hv the examiner, Svlva ami Dillshoro will again become Hit* ir.il head for Macon county, and instead of the prairie schooners that once made the haul across the mountains, trucks will ply daily between the Jackson county towns and Mi-con county mines, farms, and shops, delivering freight to the railhead, and hauling back the shipments to Macon mills and merchants. Tliere is much to be said in opposition to abandoning the re.il road, it is pointed .out; hut, on the other hand, the connecting link between the fine comity of .Macon and the rest of North Carolina will he strengthened, an<f much business that now goes into Georgia will come to Macon county's own North Carolina wholesalers and other deal ers.

The opening gun of the anti-repeal ists will he fired in Jackson county, on Friday ewning, August 18, when Dr. William Louis Poteat, the ven erable president-emeritus of Wake Forest College, will address the Tnekaseigee Baptist Association, which will Iw in session at Scott's Cnvek Baptist church, at Beta, on flic subject of "Temperance and Pro hibition." The temperance program of. the Association will he in charge of T. C. Brvson, Sr. Dr. Poteat is the leader of the United Dry Forces of Xorth Carolina, ami as such is directing the cam paign- against the rejx'i'l of the 18th Amendment in this State, in the campaign that is now beginning, and which will end with the election on Novell: her 7, when the people of the State will vote on the question of whi ther or not a constitutional con vention will be held in December for the purpose of ratifying the amend ment repealing the 18th Amendment, which proposition has been submit ted to the States bv an act of Con. gress. Dr. Pot oat, who will speak at the Tuckaseigoe Association, has been busy for several weeks, lining up the dry forces rf the State for the fight to resist repeal of the 18th Amend* iiieiit. He has long been one of the leifilers of Xorth Carolina, and has ii nation-wide reputation as a speaker and a student. Opposing him as the leader of the rcpea lists is 1 Ion. Walter Murphy, vif Salisltury, j*. leader in the Slate for two generations, who lias ho?'ii opposed t ?? every prohibition move that has been made ill North Caro lina. The wets and the dry s have put forth at the head of I heir re spective forces the best that they had, :?nd a real fisrlit should ensue ; bill, up to I In- present there has be<\n a great apathy among' The people ov< r ti e issue, and little enthusiasm has been manifested; quite different from tin* iremorable prohibition cam |wi{ii bffk in 1008, when the people marched to the i>olls with white ban ners flying, with women and children praying, and with the voters and the women, who had not yet been invest ed with the right of suffrage, sing ing "Onward 'Christian Soldiers," and "Throw out the Life Line," and voted the Sta{e into the dry column, the motirite.in counties voting almost unanimously for Prohibition. At that time the people hereabouts had an example of government eontrol. Jackson was dry. Swain was dry, Macon was dry, and the Waynesville dispells:1 .rv was flourishing as the green bay tree, bringing in revenue to build '.rood roads and operate pnb lie schools in Haywood, and the thirsty went from the counties west of IHaymood to buy their liquors as thy 'were dispensed under govern ment. control. Many of the towns and cities of the State still had bar leoms. Rowan. the county of Hon. Pete Murphy, ws*.s a distillery center, aiAl, if memory does not mis lead, every county in North Carolina gave a drv majority, exeept Rowan and New ITanovcr. Prohibition had come,' little by little. Ix)cal laws had been enacted, laying off certain distances from churches, iiom school houses, and the like, as dry territory. The move ment spread and county after county was placcd in the prohibition column by local legislation. Then came the projmsiil by the legislature, submit ting State prohibition to the people in the referendum of 1908. The Re publican State convention declared against State prohibition and in favor of local option. Many of the Demo cratic le; ders were in -sympathy with that idea; but the organization, head ed by Senator Simmons, put its power behind tile dry cause, and, in con junction with the churches and the IV. C. T. I'., and similar organiza tions, carried the State for prohibi tion, and (he organization adminis tered ;i lick ill IT to such wet demo crats as Pete Murphy. Later came the fight in congress to prevent the shipment of liquor from the wet States to the d rv. Tennessee, Virginia, and Florida, for instance, h:*.d been flooding North Carolina vith liquor, and tlu> only thinp to prevent was the Webb-K< n von law, which limited shipments to a quart a week.
