PROHIBITION GREAT SUCCESS SO 8AY8 JLUDGE GABY AND OTHER LKADIXG BUSI NESS MEN The Manufacturer* Record Devotee Twenty Pafen To The Prohibi tion Q aoetion. Strong Boost ftr IS-ohaWtlon (Special to The Courier.) Baltimore, July 29. ? The Monu ? faotorerm Record of this week will pabltsh from Judge Gary, President Bdgerton of the National Association of Manufacturer!!, and many other leading business men throughout the country their views in regard to Prohibition covering nearly twenty pages of that paper. These let'ers are in reply to a questionnaire from the Manufacturers Record as to whether these men, who thrie years ago had written in favor of Prohibi tion, had seen any reason for chang ing their views by reason of the lawlessness existing throughout the country. Out of considerably more than 100 letters so far received, on ly three express any change of >'*wg an the Prohibition question hath from the moral and economic standpoint. It is clatrned by these letters that there has been a vast improvement In condition of the laboring classes; that men are now saving money ?which they formerly ? spent in the toloons that the women and the children are better* clothed, better housed and better fed than ever be fore by reason of th?* men taking their weekly p*y home instead of spending it for drink on the way bome. This ia the almost universal testimony of manufacturers from all parts of the country and of leading! physicians and bankers. Specific cases Are given by brnk ? eis showing how saloons have been tupptanted by savings bank's, and ] bow real estate formerly used for saloons has greatly improved in value under present conditions.] Many of these letters criticise sharp ly the disposition of men of affairs,; and of social leaders to violate the Prohibition law without regard to the influence which this has upon the development of that spirit of -law violfltton ai7\png all other- classes. With the exception cf these "higher ups," to which mtny refer- J -ences are made as law violaters, ' it is claimed by many of the writers! that Prohibition is in no way what ever responsible for the criminplity ] of the day, but that, on the contrary, this is a world condition and is largely an aftermath of the World' War. Emphasis is laid upon the fatft that with the enormous number] of automobiles on all the streets andi ?highwnys of the country life would! be far m?>re endangered than it now ] is if the open' saloons were in ex istence; indeed, it is claimed thftt the automobile industry and the open saloon business practically j tculd not exist at the ssme time.

NORWOOD DECLINES TO HELP WADE'S Sl'JT President of Asaiciation Emphatically Stated How He Standi) When Robert C. Wade, a y ounf lawyer living near Danville, Virginia, wrote a letter to Googro A. Norwood prominent Goidsboro banker who h president of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative As*ieiatitm end raxed lir. Norwood to state hH position with regard to the suit which Wade baa institued in Federal court ask ing for the appointment of a re ceiver he had his letter published in ; the newspapers. I Mr. Norwood, in replying to i Wade's request for resources with which^to prosecute the suit, decided j to malce his reply public also in view of the fact that Wade asked, ac cording to newspaper accounts, thit the Goidsboro man get "on one 3ide or the other.'" Hera is what Mr. Norwood wrote: "I cannot, of course, join you in your attack in the courts upon the association. You have brought char ges of a serious nature against men of character, men of good standing and men with responsible positions. You have never submitted to me or to the executive committee of the board of directors one particle of evidence to support your charges. Your suit appears to me to be de signed to injure the cause of coopera tive marketing rather than to "purge the association" of the leadership to ] which you, a non-member, seem so1 vigorously to object. ?I desire in this connection to say ' very frankly to you that I have had the opportunity to observe your ac-j tivitles against the association nrior j to the institution of this suit. I can- ' 'not convince myself that you are ac-' I ting for the benefit of the assccia I tion. I can only conclude that you yre deaiw* of destroying it. Yoa have stated to the ^executive com-J mittee of the association, in- my pre-' , sence, that you were not a member j I of the association although you were eligible to membership. 1 cannot j comprehend how a man who has re fused to join this association and who has, since its organization, sold his tobacco at auction ?nx\ be the "disinterested friend" you claim to1 I be. ? "With these- things in mind, Mr. Wade. I cannot believe that the mo- ' tives which actuate you now are dif- j ferent from the motives which ac tuated you then. I, therefore, can- ' I not advise the board to lend you any j assistance as a friend of this as-' | sociation. "As a member of' the executive c'Smmittee" of the boanl, I approved ; 1 the action taken in 1923 in connec- i| tion with re-drying. I regarded it I I then as proper and helpful and I so regard it now." CHURCH SERVICES AT . LONGHURST AND GRACE [I Note the change in the hour for} Church services.

A small frame build ing; was destroyed and a negro man,' who was in the building was burned to death. The building was oniy a shell of a house, and was used by Mr. F. R. Sharp as a cooking pl^ce for some men who were working for . him on some construction work he in doing here. It is hard to con- , ceive of any one losing his life in sueff a' fire, -but- the negro had been sick and was laying around the house. Only this particular morn ing he had reported that lfe was feeling better and would get up soon. When the fire was discovered it 19 said bv some that he csTme to the window and was told to jump, but for some cause he turned and went back. The negro's name was' Robert Neal, and was from Iredell county,, and had been working with I Mr. Sharp for about two years. The building was the property of Mr. W. C. Bullock, whose lcs* was slight, as he had purposed to tear it down and erect a good hou* \ but ?he loss of Mr. Sharp is estimated to be about $500 on goods he had stored in the building. ? ? ?

Reductions range from $30 to (406. The new prices incjades all regular equipment on Standard Six, Special Six and Big jibe models, except that bumpers, ?*tra tiro, cover and motometer are no loafer furnished on Big Sixes. .Commenting upon the price re lation, an official of The Studebaker Xirparation of America said: "Stud* fcakeifs one-proftt manufacturiitf system is the direct reason for this reduction in prices. Under this sys tem we manufacture all vital parts for Studebaker cars in our own plants. This saves the extra profits which many manufacturers have to 'pay to outside parts and body makers. We give purchasers the Jnll benefit of these savings in manu facture. "Only two automobiles in America are made on this one-proftt basis ? the Studebaker in the fine car field and the Ford in the low-price field. Only in these two cases floes one company in ita own plants and with Its own centralized organisation JMke alt bodies, alt engines, all 'elate he-, steering guars, differentials, springs, gear sets, gray-iron cast ings and drop forgings. "With only one manufacturing profit instead of many included in the purchase price, Studebaker is able to build a better car and to offer it at a much lower price. The public appreciates this fact. Stude sales are today rising to a new high week instead of declining as is usual during the summer. -The cars on which these new 'pons a re announced 'aft l!U! ldeiitl.*" cal which have given Stude falker tremendous sale3 volume. The VK^Bcrifice in quality of materials ipr workmanship. We have brought '(pit ri6 new -yearly models to sell at new prices. It is Studebaker nolicy to keep our entire line of cars con stantly up-to-date without the an nouncement of "yearly models." ?TV.a new prices are a striking tribute td" Studehaker's one-profit production system. Savings - made possible by this system enabed us| It? announce new low prices on Jan uary 8th of this year. Now we are able to make further reduction?. As I a result Stuuebaker one-profit cars today offer greater values than ever [before. ? __ , Those not having: City license tags for automobiles by Monday. A'ig.10, will be prosecuted. R. P. BURNS.
