age of water. In this bulletin water
used for baptism is put on a par with
water used for plumbing fixtures aud
washing floors, etc.
“The person who. wrote that bulle
tin has no conception of the sanctity
|of baptism as a Divine rite or else
he is guilty of blasphemy. If the
| latter is the case then lie or. she will
l.ave to give an answer for Ids act
| to God as it is from Christ Himself
we get the authority for the use of
| water in baptism. If a person in
j this enlightened Christian age has no
! conception of the sanctity of 'bap
[ tism or sprinkliug,’ as the bulletin
states, then my conclusion is that he
is mentally deficient and his placing
the use of water for baptism on the
same plane as the use of water for
automatic toilets, cleaning floors, etc.,
is a clear index of such deficiency.
'There are hundlreds of .citizens
and visitors who like myself have read
prohibition number six <)f bulletin
number three - with amazement then
with indignation, then'out of a sense
of Christian charity, with pity for
the state of nuinl of the one who' wrote
that prohibition."

“Mail order arrests.”
Carolina Motor Club Protests Against
Illegal Proceedings.
Greensboro, Aug. 25. —ah a result
of complaints of mail order arrests
near Cary and of a "simed trap at '
Tuyloieville, Coleman W. Roberts,
vice-president of the Carolina Motor
dub-bus issued the following bulletin
from headquarters:
■‘Mail order arrests l.ave broken
out in another spit; this time in
Cary, N. C. A communication is
being forwarded to motorists which,
ill our judgment is far Irom legal.
This letter is signed by the mayor
and constable and says tnat on or
about the blank day of blank month
at about the hour of blank time the
party exceeded the speed restrictions
in Cary.
“The letter further states that ‘we
hold a State warrant against you,
reckless driving and exceeding the
speed limit. This warrant will be
held for seven days from date. You
may settle by sending payment of
ss.fine and $3lO costs, otherwise, it
will, be necessary to have this war
rant served on you by sheriff.’ It
seems that they have an automatic
machine which sets a fine of $5 and
cost), of $3.10 aud ' automatically
charges the motorist with reckless
driving, but docs not state the time
1 or place or rate of speed. We would
urge that people receiving' these let
ters do not remit, because it is not
’ a legal proceeding.
“Further complaint comes to the
Carolina Motor club from motorists
' pajlsnig through Taylorsville who
hnVe had experience with policemen
there requiring the payment of $9.40
‘ for. those who may pass between two
• givi-n lines a few seconds faster than
the .town law provides. It is reported
to V s that one man waves a red flag
tliAMiinmenf a car passes a given
3 point and the other officer takes the
3 motbrfst Up at the other end of a
givA.Cpoiur, extracting $9.40
, "At -fa our belief that there is not!
* a court" that will uphold this uniair
t method of enforcing the law.
s “The .Carolina Motor club urges
evefy one to obey the law and does
5 not protect reckless drivers and
speeders, blit it does look disfavor
upon the methods practiced by many
constables and police officers, rls
peclally so where the local towu
enacts an ordinance adopting a speed
law contrary to the state law, wnleh
it cannot lawfully do.
■ Motorists traveling No- 20 to
Wilmington are advised that Colum
bus county has a speed officer operat
ing in und around Bolton. This offi
cer, wear a uniform, cap and badge,
and we are informed he is instructed
not to make arrests except where the
party violates the law.”

the Senatorial campaign ring for
next year, which lias already at
tracted three hats is interesting the
State in half a dozen ways, not the
least of which is the prospect that
the Colonel has been moved to do
battle with liie one-time friends,
Cameron Morrison.
When the $50,000,000 road pro
gram was a thing Mr. Morrison
hadn't dreamed about Colonel Kirk
patrick was shelling the woods and
building up the machine which in
1021 was to put the big bond issue
across. The Colonel, whose greatest
crime has been the delivery ot a
speech of introduction longer than
the one made by Woodrow Wilson
following, has a good roads record
that cannot be erased. The State is
I right much of a roads empire now.
When it had all been launched
' auspiciously and there was a road
i commission to name, everyone ex
' pected Governor Morrison to start
‘ the commission off with Colonel
[ Kirkpatrick. Rut he chose to ap
point Word 11. Wood, president of
; the American Trust Company. Col.
■ | Kirkpatrick's friends had ugly things
- j to say about the way in which their
' I champion had been treated.
II Mr. Kirpatifck’s preliminary an
nouncement, for that’s the way Char
| lotte is now regarding what he had
j to say in the papers a few nays
since, may have been made with
' more than an inking of what Gover
'■ nor Morrison plans to do. The ac
cumulation of entries makes it look
as if Governor Morrison, pledged to
* enter only to divert the lire on Sen-
ator Overman, might get in •the
race and talk about what he had
done and what support Senator Over
man gave him in doing it. Where
upon the Colonel would undoubtedly
snap into it, step on the gas and
spill the beans.
If Senator Qverpnan expects a
landslide, he's mighty apt to be
jolted
