ASSAULTS AS ZDITOR.
City Editor of Durham 8na Eu raaie
Tiros at Iflsv
Durham, Jane 23. City Editor Eft
fus Iaonbonr, formerly of tbe Char
lotte Kews and of (be Salisbury Post,
now of tbe Durham Son, won fame
here today by being assaulted with a
caue in tbe hands of R, HL Wright, tbe
wealthy traction company president
and large capitalta. The blow did no
damage.
Mr. Wright's anger was aroused by
a recent article in tbe Dnrahm Sun
whirl) Editor Isenbour wrote making
mention of Mr. Wright's decision to
live in Durham and extending to him
the glad hand of fellowship. The ar
ticle grew out of a story that Mr.
Wright bod listed $70,000 personal
property in Durham "under the per
sausion of a county road sentence
held over him by he county com-
mUeioners." Tbe article telling of
his listing his taxes declared that in
New York Mr. Wright made affidavit
that lie lived in Durham and was not
liablo for claims there, and that in
Durham the rich man claimed New as
his home and evaded taxes here. It
was caustic and direct in its charges.
The Sun declared thac he listed twice
here, first several weeks ago and last
within a few hours of the close of the
books.
When Mr. Wright saw the reporter
I ixl ay he is said to have asked: "Are
yon the damned scoundrel who wrote
that article?" An admission mused
him to strike.
It was the cause of a good deal of
fun. Mr. Wright has demanded a re
traction under ithreat of suit.
To Jail Because He Wouldn't Tell.
Charlotte, June 23. For his refusal
to divulge the names of the persons or
persons from which he had purchased
liquor illegally in Charlotte, William
Owens, formerly a member of the fire
department of Charlotte, was sen
tenced by Desk Sergeant J. M. Scul
lion yesterday afternoon to serve a
sentence of ten' days in, jail. Owens
was summoned to testify under the
capias ad testificandum proceedings.
He was given two opportunities to an
swer Sergeant Scullion's question, but
stoutly refused "to "peach" on bis
friends. He is now in jail and as the
sentence is for contempt of court there
is no way to obtain his release except
through means of a pardon.
The examination of Owens was part
of a general campaign being waged
by the police department, led by City
Solicitor John A. Parker against vio
lators of the prohibition law. Three
other witnesses were examined and
all gave testimony vhich will lead to
the issuance of warrants. One of the
witneses, however, hesitated until
stared in the face by a jail sentence
and he then reluctantly gave in.

Mr. Swink After Good Roads.
Salisbury Post..
Editor Post : I suppose you know
there is a great awakening in our
county for good roads. Every meet
ing of the county commissioners is at
tended by our people asking for good
roads to be built. The commissioners
are in lavor or building more and
better roads, but qay they have not the
money. Surely roads cannot be built
without cash. We understand the
commissioners have tbe right to in
crease the road tax ten cents on the
hundred dollars and we hope they
will do this, that we may be able to
do more road work and repair the
roads we have. Anvone that travels
from Salisbury to China Grove will
testify that the macadam road needs
attention. Unless we do something
Cabarrus and Iredell counties will
take half of our trade by building
good roads to the Rowan line.
Very truly,
W. J. SWINK.

PROHIBITION FIGURES.
Quantity of Liquor Shipped
Into
Dry Territory Startling. j
Washington, June 23. Approxi
mately trenty million galkws of li
quors annually are shipped by ex
press principally from mail order
houses, direct to consumers in pro
hibition Slates.
The startling fact was developed
today in an inquiry conducted by the
Interstate Commerce Commission into
proposed changes in express classi
fications which may result in an ad
vance of rates on )ackages contain
ing liquors.
("immissioner McChord, who con-,
ducted the inquiry and prepared the
opinion of the comuission, points out
that the industry directly concerned
is that of the mail order liquor
houses. "It was the spread of the
prohibition movement," the opinion
says, "-ihat gave vitality to this char-,
acter of traffic in liquor. With State-1
wide prohibition came the interstate I
traffic in liquor. Tho decision of the '
Supreme court t!'at this traffic was
interstate and, iherefore, superior to
interference by the State govern
ments gave the industry a tremendous
imputus and established the express
companies as the carriers of prac
tically the whole of this traffic.
"Jacksonville, Fla.. probably the
largest shipping (xiint for liquor in
tho Souih, sends out between three
and four thousand packages of one
or two gallons dally, or a total of
about one and one-half million gal
lons a year. Chattanooga sliis about
"8B.000 gallons; Richmond 546,720
gallons; Petersburg 2(8,128; I'ensa
cola 287,7(50; New Orleans 2"5.8."6;
Augnsla 21,K0, and Norfolk, Va.,
Cario, 111., Enqioria, Va., Louisville,
Ky., Portsmouth. Va.. Roanoke Va.,
and Savannah Ga., ship more than
100,000 gallons each annually.
"TlTe movement is much more ac
tive in the South than in other sec
tions of the county, partly because
of the extent of the prohibition terri-
4tn
for one.
modern i
tor) in that section, partly because
of the larjre quantities of very cheap
whiskey manufactured and shipped.
tlere for the ronaumptiun of the
negro opiilaiion." j
The opinion concludes with the
statement that although it is not the!
intention of the commission to dwell
upon the moral aspect of the situa
tion, it is considered that the traffic
has an evil effect on. and is one of
the most iniMrtnnt factors in the
race problem of t tie South.
At Central Methodist Church To
morrow. Services at 11 a. n., by the pastor.
At 8 p. m. there will he a union ser
vice of the congregations of All
Saints' Episcopal and Central Metho
dist churches i't ('.Mitral church, to be

subject will be, "Life and Customs

ject and the public is cordially in
