that aa many drug stores aa are now
in thia city could not exist if they did
a strictly legitimate business, and tbe
fact tbat'tbey pay aa aggregate of
$1,155.00 a year for the privilege of
soiling liquor waa evidence in itself to
prove thai some of them were selling
it contrary to law, aa he didn't be-live-
tbe pbyaieiana of this city wrote
liquor - prescriptions amounting to
$1,1.55.00, not counting any profit : to
tba . druggist for handling it. Con-
tinuing, he said that if thia nefarious
business, of selilng liquor to debauch
the mill belp of the city and the youth
of the community is not stopped and
if the .police officers continue To sit
idly by and make no effort to break
up this lawlessness, it is time for the
representative citizens of this com
munity, wbo believe in tbe observance
of law, and who have tbe best inter
est of the, city at heart,' both from i
moral and financial standpoint, to
make sort) concerted effort to break
up the present illegal sale of liquor
that now exists here.

' One of the strongest arguments
used in behalf of tbe commission plan
of city government or- Winston : is
that the city has outgrown the system
of aldemaaie volunteer government
and we cannot longer expect economic
and efficient management of our civie
affairs by such a system. We must
have our affairs subdivided into de
partments with a competent paid offl
cial at the head of tbe several de
partments in order to ret the best re

proposed commission plan of govern
ment appears to give abundant prom
