THEY ARE ALL Gl ILTY. • Judge Harding, presiding recently at a term of Mecklenburg County Superior Court, pointed out very specifically that in I lie eyes of the law the man who buys and drinks liquor is as guilty as the man who makes and sells it. They are all guilty. Judge Harding pointed out. and lie acted according to this interpretation when liquor cases came before him. The decision of f§idgc Harding was announced after Charlotte Church work er!? appeared in court to present a plea of mercy in the ease of a convicted boot legger. As Judge Harding will preside in this county within several months, it is interesting to get his views on this matter. As quoted in the Charlotte Ob server, Judge Harding said: “The nian who drinks whiskey and the man who buys whiskey are just as guilty in the eyes of the law as is the man who makes it. With the amendment of the liquor laws of the State, all dis tinction between the charges brought against the distiller and the drinker was wiped out. "We prohibitionists have now reached the end toward which we have been striv ing. We have at last come out boldly and decreed that there shall be no drink ing. We don't care how much whiskey is made nor how much is sold if no one drinks it. “The man who is sincerely repentant and who intends to do the right tiling will come into court and tell the name of tlie person from whom he obtained the whiskey, aiding the officers in catching him.” LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCE. It. D. Goodman, county farm agent, declares' it is most important that farm ers shpujd complete their cotton picking as eajly as possible so they can break up their cotton lands. Mr. Goodman deliv ered the same warning last year, hut at that time he was not heard by as many men as have this year taken his advice. There*is a reason for the increased in terest in Mr. Goodman’s warning. The farmers are learning from experience that it js best to fight the boll weevil with' every agency at their command and they lire doing everything possible to cheek its spread. And the breaking up of the cotton land is important in the campaign against the weevil. If the stalks are left standing all winter they offer splendid winter qnarers for the weevijs that will swoop down on the fields next year with the thousands of young that would be hatched out during the winter months. Ansi tsi p parly breaking up of the cot tou fields gives the farmer a start* next Spring. It will be easier to work tile field tkqt was plowed this fall with a tractor or heavy horse-drawn implement. Jifst what the weevil is going to do in this county in the future is still a problcp'. In some sections of the connty the in sept did great damage this year. In others it did little damage. But there is no question about it* presence, or tfie destruction if wrought. Jt has to be taught or cotton abandoned! Tfiere were many counties in North Carolina that reported little damage from tji® weevil for there the insect was scientifically fought. In South Carolina the same situation was found, These were counties that normally would have beep of the weevils, dor they Were active iq, tkqm last year. 'But its activi ty vyifs checked this year because the fartugp wept -to some expense and tron ble to *fifht it and result'd were pfctewifd. effMtw hs :t4.vitwsicmfwyi>shr»l|uetuainu Tbefgrtpers fond it a paying investment to dusting machines and poison and in some quarters as touch cotton was raised sis in normal times, or in years 'before the weevil reached North and South Carolina. MURDER TRIAL WILL CONSUME SEVERAL DAYS Morgan to Be Tried For Life For Shoot ing of Honeycutt of Oakboro Last August. Albemarle Press. Jode Morgan, of Oakboro. will defend his life in Superior Court kere ! next week, he being charged in the firsl de gree with the murder of Oral H meyeutt August 12th on the road hot ween O.tk bwto and Stanfield. Since his prelim inary hearing here August 2!)th lie lias been held without bond. Court will convene Monday morning. There are few eases of importance to he tried wilh the exception of the Morgan murder case. Judge X. A. Sinclair will preside. The facts in the murder case, as brought out in the preliminary hearing, were that there was bad feeling between Morgan and Honeycutt on account of the latter's accusation that Morgan had writ ten a libelous letter concerning Honey cutt. Morgan's denial of the accusa tion and offer to go with Honeycutt to the parties in question and clear the matter brought words that left the mat ter ripe for further exchanges when the two met on the road a few milts from Oakboro. The evidence was that Mor gan rode tip in his car to a point where Honeycutt and Tise Morgan happened to be standing. Tise Morgan asked if he and Honeycutt might ride with the defendant to Stanfield. The latter re plied that Tise might ride but that lie had a “crow to pick" with H meyeutt. He alighted from the machine am), ac cording to Tise M Kigali's testimony, made a kick at Honeycutt and misted him. upon which Honeycutt struck at him with his right hand and mi sed and held a knife in his left hand which he made no effort to use. Tlierep >n, said tlie witness. Morgan gut in his * ir from the left side, gut out again on the right side, advanced around the front of the machine and shot H meyeutt. The case bids fair to be st enously fought in Superior Court. There is deep sentiment in the Oakboro section favoring each side of .the case and it is likely that friends an* relatives of both parties involved will attend the sessions in large numbers. A brilliant array of lawyers represent ing both sides have been retained, in dicating that the ease will he hard fought, both as t > defense and persecution. State Solicitor F. D.

Another ease which aroused lm|*lii in terest at the time of the occurrence of the tragedy is that against Miss Mary Milton, a young lady living several miles east of Albemarle, who is charged with manslaughter in connection with the killing of Mr. Alien Carpenter when struck by her automobile near the ball park last August. This case has ~ number of phases to which attach deep I public interest. NO CRI SIS FOB C OMPLAINT Tilings Are .Moving on Nicely in tlie Old North State. \\ ilsorn, X. < .. Nov. l(i.—ln the opin ion of Carl Goerch, editor of the Wil sin Mirror. North Carolina has no single predominant need: “things are moving very nicely" in the Old North State and there is "id cause far com plaint." Queried as to what in his opinion is North Carolina's greatest need. Mr. Goerch made the following answer: "When do you consider the most beautiful motion picture actress on the screen today? "Practically everyone has some special favorite: let us presume that yours is Mary Piekford. "And now, let us presume further that you received a letter from some one in a distant city, asking you what Mary Piekford yueeds t make herself beautiful. "Y'o t know exactly how yon would feel, don't you? Ami that is exactly how I feel in trying to answer the question relative to' North Carolina’s greatest need. ‘'There aint no such animal.

This is true not on y of the towns, hut of the rural districts as well. Splendid equipped brick buildings have superseded the one-room frame structures which formerly were to be seen nestling by the read side. Our greatest need certainly is not along educational lines. "We lead the nation in road building. Consequently, we can pass up this fea ture of development without further at tention. Our greatest need certainly will not be found there. • "How about agriculture? A, tstriie that can jump up to fourth p ace in the Union, from an agricultural standpoint, certainly is going some. And the best of it is that we are making more progress iu fanning ail tlie time. Idle acres are being reclaimed: new settlers are com- ing here from other parts of tlie country. Diversified farming is iieiug given much publicity. I Manufacturing industries? We have jour share of them. For years certain sec tions have bee : howling for more fac tories and in- re mills.

Our progress in this direction is very satisfactory. Natural resources? Wc have a fine climate, waterway transportation facili ties and every formation of soil from the mountains in the w:est to the coastal plain in the east. "What, then, is North Carolina'* greatest need ? "For answer, we refer you to tlie question concerning Miss Bickford's greatest requisite? for beauty. "A state that ris leading the Booth can have no greatest need. We may need a number of smaller things, incident With our progress and development, hut we can get along without them just as well. We are beginning to advertise ourselves in ntor* agressive form and the rest of the country is beginning to find out something about North Caro lina- Things are moving along very nicely, thank you, with no cause for complaint.” LOWLY JOBS WORKED BY GERMANS TO INCREASE INCOMES Professional Ji<q Doiuf Somethin? as Big Profession* to Make Living.
