I "use the strength God has given J
to win this battle for temperance."
"The.time is ripe; submit the
question of prohibition to the
people of North Carolina and I
believe it will win by nearly
100,000. I will canvass the state
for prohibition." Governor Rob
ert B. Glenn. ;
The ' opening session of the twenty
third state convention of the "Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of North
Carolina,, held Sunday afternoon in
the First Presbyterian church, was
rharacterized by a notable address of
welcome by Governor R. B. Glenn. The
governor, as .he said, took this oc
casion to "tell where he stood" and he
came out squarely for prohibition In
this state. His visit to New England
had convinced him that state prohibi
tion was a success.
Mrs. Mary. C. Wood' of Guilford: pre
sided at the meeting and read an ap
-jropriate passage of scripture. "Our
ry," said Mrs. Woody, "is the cry of
Caleb, 'Lord, give me this mountain,
end. we believe that with the help of
God' the Anakims, the giants
iquity, can be driven out.
Mrs. Woody came an address by Miss
Lillie (Daniel of Nashville, Tenn.,
emphasizing the duty of men and wo
men of today, especially the young,
in the battle against unrighteousness
In a few words Mayor Jas. I. Johnson
on the part of the city and Rev Ri
F. -Btimpas of the Edenton Street M.
E. church on behalf of the Raleigh
pastors, and Mrs. I. C Blair for the
local TV. C. T. U. welcomed the con
vention. Then came Governor Glenn's
noteworthy speech of welcome in behalf
of the state, r
"Governor's Position Defined
The governor spoke with his usual
force and earnestness. Stepping quick
ly to the front of the pulpit, after an
appropriatte introduction by Mrs.
-Woody, the governor said substantially
ttfis; .
"I understood, when the invitation
was extended to me to welcome your
body to Raleigh on behalf of the state,
that five minute addresses "were ex
pected, but I was not limited to this
time. The occasion would afford me an
opportunity to state my position to you
Christian women on the great temper
ance question. That will 1 not require
but a few minutes. ;
"The Last Bridge Burned". - '
"I can, in a few words, tell you
where I stand and how I feel on this
pubject. Whatever may have been my
acts and course in the past,' and I
have tried ever to be consistent. I
say here and now that the last bridge
Is burned" behind me and I stand
squarely with the' great) temperance
forces to drive this hideous monster
from our fair state.
"A man must take a. square out un
mistakable stand for the right or for
the wrong, for righteousness or for
- rfvil, for happiness or for misery, for
justice or for oppression. As for me I
urn heart and soul against the liquor
. traffic.
Liquor Benefits No One Save the Seller
"There is nothing advanced, either in
the industrial or. the moral sphere, by,
strong drink except the liquor traffic
itself. Can you point to me any bene-
flxcsultlng from the sale of liquor ex
cept to the pocketbook of the man
who ensraeres in the traffic I can see
none. The great corporations and the
business men have set their condemna
;iion upon those who Indulge in strong
drink. Did you ever hear of - prefer
'ence being shown to the employe who
drank? On the other hand you have
neen instance after instance of fail
ure to secure employment or promo
tion because the man used liquor. Men
who indulge in anything stronger than
toiffO; are not employed by many influ-
5ntial corporations. Do you want a
physician' who drinks to administer to
you or your family? Do you-want
lawyer, who - indulges in intoxicants,
to handle your case? The same rule
pplles to the other avocations of life
1 aery anyone uiere in thjis presence
to say that the1 use of strong drink
idls to the happiness of humanity
tr the glory of God. The curse of the
' traffic casts its shadow across the land
T.oo frequently young women are- seen
k l'tr restaurants partakinz of strong
s drink with young men. Thev are
playing upon the same fearful road
that has led thousands to our asyiw.s
poorhouses, jails, to degradation and to
"ruin.
. "I say to you deliberately that after
thirty years experience as an attorney
ind as a prosecuting officer in the
ourts that I am firmly or the opinion
bat 60 per cent of crime is directly
ihe result of strong drink and 05 per
rent Is indirectly caused by Indulgence
m strong drink. Can we then, in the
,'ace of such an appalling array, hesU,
:ate to say where we stand?1;' r
Christianity and Liquor Can't Stand Together
"Not long since. I was making a

The governor's spee-.i was received
with enthusiasm. The presiding officer
declared when the governor concluded
that the W. C. T. U. delegates' felt
almost like saying "the victory has been
won; there Is nothing for us to do; let
us return to our homes." But she re
minded them that the work of educa
tion and the training of the young in i
me peaceful, path of total abstinence
still ( remained to claim the energies of
the band.
Mr9. Winston's R espouse
In responding to the addresses cf
welcome Mrs. Laura A. Winston of
Morganton said In part:
"Twenty-three years ago the W. C.
T. TJ. began its work in North Caro
lina. We have come a long way in
these years, years full of prayer and
work. What have we done? Do you
realize what a campaign of education
the W. C. T. U. has been for the wo
men of this state? Before they began
there were good women; now they are
intelligently good. Then they were
Christians; now they are practical
Christians. If you were to ask what
is the very best result of these years
I would say it Is the arrest of thought
that has come to Christian' women
concerning their duty.

State Prohibition Is Practical
"But some one says money derived
from the liquor business is necessary
to run the schools. I say it is not.
The schools do not depend on this
blood money. Wipe out the liquor bus
iness and if necessary the state can
well afford to increase the tax on
property to sustain the schools and
save the boys, and girls of this land.
"You have all heard the old cry that
prohibition 'will "not. prohibit; blind ti
gers and all forms of unlawful sale
will flourish. Prohibition can be en
forced as effectively as other laws are.
Let the officers of the law, backed up

IN SUPREME COURT
Appeals From Sixth District to Be
Taken up Today Wake Cases
This morning in the supreme court
the argument of apeals from the sixtn
district, of which Wake is a part, will
be taken up. The case of most note,
of course, is that of Gattis vs. Kilgo.
This is to come up by special order
Wednesday morning.
There will be only two state cases to
be argued by the attorney general to
day, both being merely appeals in
volving bills of costs as ordered by
trial judges. Some interest attaches to
one that , of State vs. J. S. Blackley,
from Wake county. It will be remem
bered that Blackley was convicted of
embezzlement in handling stock for
J. M. McAdow & Co. of Kansas City,
and sentenced to six years on the coun
ty roads. Blackley is now serving his
sentence on the roads,
he case against John Hays for gamb
ling. Hays has returned to Raleigh
and will submit his case.
Judge Justice intimated strongly yes
terday that, with the lights before him,
he would give the anti-hack ordinance
a black eye. The case was mention
ed in court yesterday and Solicitor
Jones stated that the dcefridant was
Indicted for loitering on the street with
his vehicle after 9 o'clock. "On the
public highway?" asked the judge.
"Yes," replied the solicitor. Col. Har
ris, attorney for the hackman, began
some statement when the judge inter
rupted saying: "On first impressions
I should like to have some authorities
from the solicitor." Solicitor Jones said
that the city attorney wouldT make
the argument and the case was set
for this morning.

Suit for Siding Mtr Merry Oaks

that another siding would be imprac

I have seen prohibition that did pro

New England states, the home of pro
hibition, and I tell you that from my
observation and inquiry prohibition is
a success. I traveled thousands of
miles, visited the fairs in those states.
and in all that journey I never saw
but three intoxicated ' men. On the
other hand, abstinence from drink is
the rulej among those people. I saw
them tested. I saw fourteen young
men, strong, healthy and prosperous,
offered on one occasion champagne by
a southern man, be it- said to his
shame, but I was glad that he was
not a member of our party, and every
one of the fourteen declined, saying
that they used ho intoxicants.

Sarah Baskerville was indicted before
Magistrate jBarbee and the case was
moved to Magistrate Reid. Her at
torneys, Messrs Harris & Harris, ar
gued that the magistrate did not have

i he did and an appeal was taken.
I Judge Justice decided that section
r3S20 of the code makes every viola
tion of a town ordinance punishable
by not exceeding a $50 fine or 30 days
and the state constitution gives the
magistrate jurisdiction when the pun-
ishment does . not exceed $50 or 30 days,
I hence saying that no one should try

violation of the " constitution. Messrs.
Harris took an appeal to the supreme
court for their client. Solicitor Jones

against two over
whoj had tried
forcibly to prevent the-double nuptials
from taking place. The whole romantic
love affair was unfolded to the court
yesterday. The sisters were, before
their recent weddings, Miss Eloise Ray
and Miss Ardel Ray. They had decid
ed to accept Zelber Rudd and Zelncr
I Rudd, twins, as their husbands. In
j fact the young ladies confessed that
1 so. desperately had Cupid smitten them
that they placed a note in a blackgum
tree, where the Rudds would get it,
informing their sweethearts that unle?s
they ran away and married them the
sisters would end their unhappy ex
istence. C. L. Allen and Ennis Brog

heard of the plotted elopement and set
out to prevent it. They held the
lovers' up, Zelner Rudd w:as thrashed
with a buggy whip and Zlber had a
pistol stuck uncomfortably near his
head. Judge Justice placed Allen and

How a Drayman Won His Case
Recently Judson Thomas, who drives

by Police Justice Badger for driving
his dray faster than a walk on the

peal to the ouperior court and had
Mr. H. E. Norris as his counsel. A
number of witnesses were examined
and tne jtrial was spicy. Mr. Norris
contended that the horse went of his
own will while the' driver was exer

ceeded before the beast had made much

they acquitted Thomas.
