Sept. 30.—In a recent survey of Boon Hill township less than 75 men can be counted as being absolute ly law abiding and those who do not drink whiskey or who are not in some way assisting the blockader, there are about five thousand, five hundred men. women and children in Boon Hill township. It is al most impossible for any man or woman to live in any com munity and fool the neighbors as to his uprightness. If one drinks whiskey the neighbors know it. If one curses at any time or in any place the neigh bors know it. If one fusses, cusses and quarrels with his wife and children the neigh bors know it. If a man and his wife drink whiskey or brandy the neighbors know it. The best men and women in the township have for a long time been hoping and trusting that something would happen to change the conditions which are daily growing worse in the whiskey business. The Bible teaches that when wicked men are in authority the people mourn, and the time is now at hand when wicked men are in authority because no effort is made to check the whiskey business. We are now soon to have the general county election. \Yi'' the good Lord suffer men to be elected in this election who disregard their oath of office, and who are not God-fearing men?

He has been United States Sen ator from Alabama for a number of years and%has taken his place among the leaders in the United States Senate as well as the po litical life of the South. He is thoroughbred Democrat and has a power of presentation of his ideas second to none in this country. It is expected that the county will turn out en masse on the oc casion of Mr. Heflin’s speech and for the purpose of meeting his neighbor from another section of the county who is sure to be on hand. Other speakers have been sche duled to speak in Johnston county during the month of October, an nouncement of which will be made later. Ex-Governor Cameron Morrison will speak at Archer Lodge on Saturday afternoon, October 16th at 3 o’clock and again at Kenly that night at 8 o’clock.

NEGRO IS BOUND OVER TO RECORDER’S COURT Dunk Allen, a negro who at tacked Durwood Creech, the young son of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Creech of this city. Saturday night while on his way to his father’s drug store, was tried in the mayor’s court here Tuesday night. The ne g*ro was bound over to recorder’s court and his appearance bond fixed at $400. It will be remembered that as young Creech passed the negro on the sidewalk Saturday evening he brushed against the negro who be came angry and began to fight. Creech received six cuts about his face and a blow on his head that caused him a slight concussion of the brain. For some time Allen has been working with the street paving I force here.

The need is for less fire and more fire pre vention. We should all pull togeth er to keep the fire hose dry. “Now', therefore I, John A.

McLean, of North Carolina, do hereby set apart and designate the week of October 3rd to 9th as Fire Prevention Week and during this week I do further urge that fire dn’ls in our schools be held and that proper officials of the Smithfield Fire Department call on the schools, churches, pub lic and private buildings, factories, (stores and hotels to inspect and to see that every precaution and safeguard against fire is provid ed and that exit facilities are pro vided in case of fire. “.To this end I urge the Kiwanis Club, the Woman’s Club and all other civic bodies to cooperate with the State Insurance Department in reducing fire hazard witnin our City. I call upon the clerg^y and Sunday school superintendents to bring this Fire Prevention Week to the attention of our people. “Done in the City of Smithfield this the 1st day of October in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six, and in the one hundred and fifty-first year of our American Independ (Signed): “JOHN A.
