Question Of
Repeal
"Be not drunk on wine wherein
Is excess'but be filled with the spirit,"
? Eph. 5:18.
My references are from the word ;
of God. Isiah 28:1, S, 7; Prov. 14:34; j
II Thess. 5:7; Daniel 5.
People of Roxboro and Person
County. I give the following rea- 1
sons for voting again the repeal
of the 18th Amendment.
My flrsth reason is Prov. 14:34.'
Righteousness exalteth a nation but
sin is a reproach to any people.;
Drunkenness is, I will say, a sin
that is ruining the people as a;
whole, from the president to the ;
poor beggar. The people that onoej
were living well, because of a
drunken father and sorry to say, lots
of mothers are drinking the rotten:
junk and bring sorrow and sick
ness to many homes, and wrecking j
lives of many boys and girls. Right-!
eousness brings Joy and peace to
any people.
My econd reason is Isaiah 28:1. j
Woe to the crown of pride to the
drunkard of Ephraim, whose glor
ious beauty is a fading flower, which
are on the heads of the fat valley
of them that are overcome with
wine.
I believe we could put U. 8. ln
sfead of Ephralm. It certainly is a
Mplty that the head men of U. S.
Bouldn't think of anything else than
^^he devil's trash can to aid the|
country which is supposed to be a
Christian nation.
People, let us go to our knees!
Isaiah 28:3. The crown of pride
the drunkenness of Ephraim shall
be trodden under foot I am afraid
that U. S. will be trodden under
foot bv her enemies if we are not
careful.
Isaiah 18:7. But thev also have
erred through wine and through
sh-ong drink, are out of the way,
the priest and the prophet have err
ed through many drinks they are
swolled up of wine. They are out of
the way through strong drink. They
err in vision, they stumble in judg
ment.
Wine and strong drink will make
any one err; ti causes accidents and
nine times out of ten brings death,
and that brings widows and or
phans. and sometimes cripples for
life, Jails and prisons full of men,
women, boys and girls. The preacher
and the prophet have erred through
strong drink. I am sorry to say
many preachers wait till after elec
tion to preach temperance. They are
afraid of the people and especially
the paying members and official
board. Preachers preach it without
? fear or favor. Please God, not man,
for your own soul's sake.
My third reason is read Daniel
5th chapter. Remember Belshazzer
had a feast and Invited all his wives,
princes and concubines and drank
wine before his thousands and wor
shipped or praised idols of gold,
silver and stone, and took the sa
cred things out of the temple and
had a night of revelry, and the Lord
our God showed them by the hand
writing on the wall that the end
had come of their pleasure and
sin. The writing on the wall by in
terpretation was "Thou art weigh
ed In the balances and found
wanting." Wanting for what? Wor
ship of true and living God and
righteousness which is very neces
sary in any nation, state, county
and city. I am afraid U. 8. White
House will find the same thing some
day.
Everybody that loves God and
^man, vote dry by the grace and help
?of God.
^ I Thes. 5:7. For they that sleep
sleep in the night and that be
drunken are drunken in the night
People, don't sleep awake and see
the condition of the country, go to
praying for the Lord is coming soon.
My fourth reason is Eph. 5:18:
And be not drunk on wine wherein
is excess but be filled with the
spirit. Let us as a people of a
nation, be real citizens, not only ol
the U. S? but of the Kingdom ol
Jesus Christ our Lord, and live foi
Him. Help the Lord to spread th<
Gospel.

THE PRESENT TOBACCC
SITUATION
The tobacco growers of Persot
County have signed the Oovernmen
acreage reduction agreement so fa
as I can learn about ninety or nine
ty- three or four percent. I thlnl
the growers have done their part si
far as this is concrened. But thi
question is, is this going to hel]
the prices of this year's crop? Nox
is the time that the growers nee*
help as I see it from this stand
point.
Some people say the companle
have too great a sum of tobacc
that is the reason they are not pay
ing more for the tobacco than the;
are. Others say we do not raise a
good tobacco as we did some year
back. That may be true, but I se
they have not stopped taking i
yet. Well, as for me, I do no
know what their reason Is for no
paying more for the tobacco.
There Is one thing the grower
can do If they will do it. That is
to cooperate. I believe in coopera
tion. I think the best kind of or
ganization the growers can have Is
cne of their own. For instance, the
Jones plan of Danville. I think
that is a good organization. If Mr.
Jcnes could get every tobacco grow
er in the flue-cured tobacco belt to
sign up and pay their ten dollar
membership fee he would havte quite
a large sum of money. Very likely
he would have eilbugh money to do(
a large business on if they would
join and put a part of their tobacco
in this organization. This is the
only chance I see for the growers
at this time, is to organize and set
up a business of their own, to co
operate and work together and notl
see how far from one another they
can stand.
If the farmers have ever received
anything but a promise I don't
know what it was. The f&rmers feed I
the world. Why shouldn't they re
ceive a living price for their pro
ducts? GLENN BURCH.

A SAMPLE OF LIFE
One day I called attention to a
few peaches on a tree, and spoke
of them as a sample of what we
would have if the tree were only
well loaded. x
Is It possible thus to get a sample
of what a life would be if it were
given more opportunities?
How often have we heard some
one sav, "If I had a million dollars
I would help that cause for it is
worthy." Would those people thus
act if a million dollars were placed
at their disposal? Perhaps some of
them would: certainly some of
them would not.
If it is possible to form fairly
correct opinions of people as regards
such matters how shall we do so?
Can we say that a man who is
selfish with fifty dollars would be
selfish with fifty thousand? Can we
say that a boy who will cheat in or
der to make a run on the baseball
field will cheat in a business deal?
If I should make such statements
some would call my statements too
j broad; some would call them un
just; whie others would call them
untrue.
Furthermore it would be unpleas
ant on my part to make such
statements ungrounded.
Therefore I shall allow another
whose knowledge and truthfulness
are unquestioned to do the speaking.
He teaches us that life is to be
judged by what it is doing with
| present opportunities, and not by
; the imagination as to what would
be done were conditions different
l His own words are:
"He that is faithful in that which
is least is faithful also in much;
and he that is unjust in the least
| is unjust also in much." ? Luke 16:10.

CRUMPLING OF
HINDENBURG LINE
By W. F. Marshall
Raleigh, Oct 23. ? Continued
crumpling up of the Hindenburg
Line of the repeal cause in North
Carolina has forced the directors of
wet strategy to hurl their last re
serves into the breach. Former Gov
ernor Gardner has issued from
Washington a statement in favor of
repeal; Senator Reynolds Is to make
a hurried dash into some of the
western counties and one or two
eastern counties; and in addition to
previous announcements in the way
of sponsorship of Mr. Farley's forth
coming visit to this state Senator
Bailey is scheduled to issue shortly
a statement In favor of repeal of
the 18th Amendment, with sugges
tions as to North Carolina's proper
policy in liquor control after repeal.
"Hie Dry forces are chuckling over
the re-entrance of Senator Reynolds
into the arena. As to the effect of
the Reynolds campaign, the Dry re
call a story William Jennings Bryan
used to tell. A big husky man was
the victim of occasional scoldings
and animated assaults by his dimi
nutive wife. When his friends chid
ed him for being so hen-pecked and
enduring so submissively the assault
and battery of the little queen of
his home, he replied: "Well, why
not? It seems to do her a whole
lot of good and doesn't hurt me at
all."
The view is taken by some of the
Drys that North Carolina's Junior
Senator has set at least one example
worthy of emulation by his fellow
citizens back home. The most con
spicuous official act of his Senatorial
career, they point out, was his
graceful and complete apology one
day last June to his fellow-Senators,
and to the country, for a most un
fortunate mistake perpretated by
him the day before. The Dry sug
gest that, taking the cue from the
Junior Senator's graceful apology
in the Senate, the people of North
Carolina from one end of the state
to the other go to the polls Novem
ber 7 and show to the world how
gracefully, completely and eloquent- j
ly they can apologize for their mis- j

Senate. , I
Nor do the Drys seem to be tak- 1
Ing on much worry over the parti- |
cipatlon of lormer Governor Qard- I
oer In the festivities of the cam- 1
paign. There has been some specu- i
lation as to what influence his po- f
sltion and prestige would have upon i
the voters; but no alarm discern- <
Ible on that account. A certain re- <
mark of former Governor Gardner 1
made at the State College Alumni
luncheon last June is recalled. ,
'State College," the quotation runs,
'will always remain the North Car
olina State College of Agriculture
ind Engineering and will always be
located in Raleigh, if I have any in
fluence left ? and something happen
ed Saturday to make me think I ,
tiave." The something that hap- ,
pened Saturday was the handsome ,
lead in the primaries of more than ,
47,000 votes scored by the Ex-Gover- ,
nor's favorite candidate, Mr. Eh
ringhaus, over the highest of his ,
two opponents. The "Influence left"
seems however to have pretty near ,
ruined his favorite candidate, who
won the nomination in the second (
primary, Indeed, but only by the
narrow margin of a bare 13,084 votes
over his single competitor.
Note is also taken of the fact that
when Ex-Governor McLean and
Ex -Governor Morrison completed
their official terms and retired to
private life, they very properly re
frained from any further efforts to
govern the State, generously leav
ing that function exclusively to
their successors In office. In con
nection with Ex-Governor Gard
ner's entry into the current cam
paign a number of newspapers car
ried the following comment by their
Raleigh correspondent :
"There is also reason to believe
that while he (Ex-Governor Gard
ner) was gratified at the manner
in which Governor J. C. fi. Ehring
haus followed out many of his pol
icies as governor and re-appointed
el number of officials he had origi
nally appointed, he was not so well
pleased with some of the political
generalship or lack of it dlspayed
by Governor Ehringhaus in some of
tils other appointments and official
acts."
All of these things are lodging
Into the th ink-works of the average
Independent North Carolinian; and
there is no doubt of the fact that
quite a number of them are coming
to regard the approaching election
is likely to remove from Mr. Gard
ner's mind the apparent halluci
nation that he is still Governor of
North Carolina.

TREAT WHEAT TO
PREVENT SMUT
(By A. G. Bollard)
Low yields of wheat due to dam
age caused by smut may be correct
ed by a simple treatment of the
seed with Copper Carbonate. This
method of treatment only costs
about 8c per bushel and is superior
to the blue stone treatment as the
seed are not soaked in a solution.
The treatment is as follows: Se
cure a barrel that has both ends at
tached. Cut an of?enlng in one
end and make a door to fit this
opening. Place several slats per
pendicular to the sides of the bar
rel and nail in place. Pour one bu
shel of wheat in the barrel and add
two ounces of Copper Carbonate.
Roll the barrel around the yard un
til thorughly mixed. The seed may
be sown Immediately or kept until
a later date. Care should be taken
to keep the treated seed away
from animals.

| there's One
n Sure Way to
Compare Tobacco Fertilizer"
? * ? ? , .V'* ?
k-JEE if this doesn't sound like common
sense to you. Look at the tobacco on the
warehouse floor,. Pick out the finest qual
ity ? the highest priced. Then ask which
fertilizer was used. When you find that
Royster fertilized tobacco is of superior
quality and brings a higher price ? then
it stands to reason that Royster is the
tobacco fertilizer for you to use. We ask
you to make this fair comparison because
it is the one sure way to judge fertilizer?*
by results . And Royster results speak for
themselves from the warehouse floor.
Remember this: Royster Tobacco Fer
tilizer is made in one quality only ? the
best that money can buy at any price.
That high standard is maintained by
Royster experts who are constantly study
ing the tobacco plant ? finding out all
there is to know about its plant food needs
? from the time the plant beds are sown
until the crop is in the barn. These men
of long experience locate, test and refine
all materials to make sure that only the
best obtainable go into Royster sacks.
Year after year they check up through
actual field tests ? to make certain that
every sack of Royster Tobacco Fertilizer
contains the correct combination of ma
terials to produce the finest quality leaf.
After nearly fifty years of successful
results, no wonder we ask you to compare
Royster fertilized tobacco with the rest of
the tobacco on the warehouse floor. This
easy test is the best salesman we have.
