9 accurate, terse 9 TIMELY m VOLUMN XXXIII ISHS I IM S on mi W Says Each State Should B Granted Right To Manage Its Internal Affairs >9 AN I'N^'ESE ATTEMPT 9 "What Xorth Carolina ha; 9 so long and so strenuous^ 9 demanded for itself it shoulc 19 be willing to grant to othej 9 states?the right of each t( manace its own internal af (fairs in its own way?and i should so record its vote 11 t h e November election,' William T. Folk, candidal for repeal delegate, declares in an article prepared foi The Warren Record, giving his views on the prohibitior .Mr. Polk classes as unwise and e perfectly useless attempt to keep the other states of the Union dry His article in full follows: As a candidate favoring rep>ea in the coming election. I think thai the people are entitled to know mj views on the subject and I knov of no better means of expressing them than through your columns. First, it should be clear to al that the issue is not local but national. The question is whether the 18th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States shall be repealed. It is not whether any of ou: State laws shall be repeaJed I The Turlington Act and other laws 01 the 5?.a,e of North Carolina forbid the manufacture, sale, etc., of intoxicating liquors in this State. The repeal of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States wiu not anect these State laws at all. After the 18th Amendment has been repealed, it will still oe as illegal in this State to manufacture, buy, sell, possess, transport, etc.. intoxicating liquors as it was before. "Thus the repeal of the 18th Amendment does not mean that the saloon will return to North Carolina. Nor does it mean that other states will be allowed to flooa North Carolina with their liquors. Section 2 of the proposed Article repealing the 18th Amendment reads: " The transportation or importation into any State, Territory or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited,' "Thus it can be seen that a voter in this State may be nationally wet and locally dry; that is, he may beItae that the 18th Amendment should be repealed, which would allow each State to handle its drinking problem as it thinks best, and yet believe that North Carolina should stay dry,?that is, as dry as it has been. "I arant. iotv> _ w vmmv 1UHX xiillCXlU" ment was, as Mr. Hoover aptly said, 'an experiment noble in motive'; and I have no doubt that this road to abstinence by force of law tras paved with good intentions; but I believe that the results have been deplorable. "Those who incorporated the 18th Amendment in the Constitution of the United States doubtless thought that it would stop drinking to a ' large extent; that it would abolish the saloon; that the young people would forget the taste of liquor, H that the old soaks would dry up and reform, and that it would de waase crime. ''There are still a number of people who honestly believe that it has H succeeded in doing tnese things. H ?ut I cannot agree with them From experience, observation and ^nnation, I am forced to the conclusiisn that since the passage of the 18L Amendment drinking and (Conlinued on Page 8) I OH, Professor" To I Appear At Norlina Oh, Professor," a musical com^ be presented in the auditcr'Um ?t the Norlina high school ?

MOST OF THE HEWS ALL THE TIME " *"' NUMBER 44 WHISKEY CURSE SAYS REYNOLDS Senator Says Citizen* Not Voting For Whiskey Bet Better Control Method COURTHOUSE IS JAMMED Whiskey is the greatest rMireo wi+Vi wViipti flip world has ever been afflicted and North Carolina on November 7 is not voting for liquor but for a better control of its evils, United States Senator Robert R. Reynolds told an audience that packed the court house here to its capacity on Wednesday night. Senator Reynolds said that he had the greatest sympathy for and believed in the absolute sincerity of those holding different view on the prohibition issue from that entertained by himself and praleed the church as the greatest force for good on earth. Quoting Billy Sunday as saying that the demon rum was the greatest friend of the devil and enemy of God in existence, Senator Reynolds said that he agreed with the evangelist fully and that he did not think there was a man in the audience who would not ' cheerfully give his life to have it wiped from the face of the world. Unfortunately whiskey, he continued, had always been here and would probably always be here, the chief problem facing the people la control of the evil. senator Reynolds neia tnat tne great mistake of the enemlea of whiskey was dropping their educational campaign, showing tha destructive effects of alcohol on the system, following the adoption of the 18th Amendment. Following the repeal of the amendment, temperance must again be taught the people, he said. yBefore North Carolina went dry, said, there wege jia saloons In s state; now there are 40 thousand selling moonshine whiskey corrupting the youth of the land, causing a loss of millions of dollars to the government in loss of revenue. Pointing out the increase of crime, of racketeering, filled Jails and general disrespect for law in America, Senator Reynolds said that millions of dollars formerly going into the treasury of the government had been deflected into the pockets of the gangsters and financed crime that has brought shame to the country and given America the reputation of being the most lawless country in the world. This condition must be changed, he said, and the beginning would be made on November 7 when the people of North Carolina and other states would vote to repeal the 18th Amendment. Senator Reynolds was accompanied to Warrenton by Johnston Avery, David L. Strain and Pierce C. Rucker who, with other friends, were dinner guests of Dr. and Mrs. G. H. Macon. W. T. Polk presided over the meeting at the court house and introduced Mayor Frank H. Gibbe who presented Mr. Reynolds. Citizens, including a large number of ladles, from every section of Warren were present as were many from Vance and Halifax counties. .Senator Reynolds and party spent the night at Hotel Warren and vesterday morning was here for several hours greeting friend* before departing for Jackson and Ahoskie where Senator Reynolds was scheduled to speak. He also spoke to high school boys at John Graham school yesterday morning on the value of athlectics. Senator Reynolds was an outstanding athlete at the University of North Carolina in former years. ENTERTAIN SENATOR Dr. and Mrs. G. H. Macon entertained United States Senator Robert R. Reynolds and other friends at dinner on Wednesday night. Covers were laid for twelve.
