The Battle Front In Rum War Frequent Gun Clashes Make El Paso Center of Booze Fights !l> XKA SKKVHTC JSI Pasj.

V Immigration inspector, within 48' hours has aroused the upathy of Kl Paso citizens. A uew cry. "Get Hhe man back of the bootlegger." has gone up. * "Kvery case of smuggled liquor * la bathed In blood." says George v J. Harris, district supervisor of, Vv the federal immigration service. "The man for whose money the | , smuggler risks his life is as much U ? to-4ilam<' as the smuggler himself. ^ responsibility really is his." ^ Taking this ?tand. the govern ?r. men! has arrested several pur * chasers of contraband "hooch" on , Charges of conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws. %r Hundreds of ?mugglers aro wading across t h?- river dally and ^ nightly with booze obtained in Mexico. Most of the traffic, how-, ever, is carried on under cover of _ darkness. Life is cheap to thoso tnen. be mostly Mexicans. They know - the risk they nrc taklng.liut * they go ahead with it Just the r 'sitae Walk down near the smelter " Hitting under the yallow-leafed ~_.troes on the old Hart estate, an " ancient Spanish domain, you will ??e a little group of Mexicans lit t the fun.

HIh friends aH leave the plaza for more ardu ous duties. "Hole-lo-the-Wall" la another rendezvous for the smugglers. It's on the Mexican side of the river, yet American territory. It'a about five milea from the village of Fabena. Tex. There are a few adobe house* and a drinking place or two. But "Hole-ln-the-Wull" la a center for the smugglers. Govcnmeat agents admit they're practically helpleaa. Tli?;.? ur*? uuipnough of them. & the smuggler* are having things pretty much their own way. And the fightlns still goes on down along this Bhttle front in the southwest'a rum war. DON'T TAKK HT04 K IN THK S.MAI J, TOWN 1DKA Tho writer, desiring Rome work done bis way. went into a busi ne*H house one (lay recently and made his wlshc? known, only to find that his wish could not be, and a substitution was offered, U?6t another. In the meantime the writer importuued to have the matter handled according to his Ideas, resulting In a considerable argument, the outcome of which waa for the writer to hear thin remarkable statement made by the business man: "Thin la a small town and Inasmuch aa jrou reside in a small town you must do a? small town folks do." This, to say the leaat, wan a stunner Season 's Greetings TO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO MAKING THE YEAU A SUCCESSFUL AM) PROftFJSSOl S ONE.

Give iifi a trial; satisfaction guaranteed; one trial will convince you. Tide-water Buick Co. N'ext Camden Uridge not and never was "a small town." Consequently I cannot think or act in a "small town" manner. And what I want I want because I believe It flta my-needs and it I believe It fhs my needs and if I cannot get Mr. Business man to sec my way. of necessity I most go?though very much against my inclination ?- somewhere, where satisfaction is meted out to me. But each time I am forced to do this I ask myself the ques tion. "Why?" And now to the matter In hand. I am unutterably opposed to the "small town" Idea. 1 cannot couceive In this ago of progress the necessity of living as some folks did m century or two ago. 1 caanot bring myself to be recon ciled to doing without things, conveniences. If you please, be cause my less fortunate great great: grandsire found no use for them. And so my mind cannot grasp" the Idea presented. In this pleas for me to be satisfied slm pl> because this is "a small town." If I remember rightly Holy t writ has the following: "As u' man think?th In his heart, so is he." This fits in with the posi-j aion I am about to assume. We i can do or be anything we've a ? mind to do or be. My contention is that simply because it has never been done ' in our town is not sufficient rea~l son for not doing It. It may cost Just n little more but It brings far moro abundant returns In satisfaction to the Individual. Yes and to the one who actually does the work. y am minded of a little village of 700 population. Because of one man's vision this village has one of the most successful bank ing Institutions in all that coun ty with a clientele and pestlge far purpantiing that of many large ci ties and directly due to this con dition has a grocery and produce store, selling the finest quality of groceries and provisions, putting before the public choicest fruits and garden greens as early as the best stores In the largest cities of that state. ? It has also a hardware .store, the proprietors priding themselves on the fact that they will and do supply your order regardless of what your demand? may be. If Mine can be procured. If they da not carry It in ?lock they will have u to you aa quickly as it can be loaded on the train at some place where the article la handle*. They do not hesitate to use long distance telephone. That, Ihey consider. Is the only way to successfully carry ou a business. The writer took a job of print ing to the only printing establish ment In another such community. Mr. Printer did not have the facil ities and asked if he might be al lowed to send away to hate it done. Time permitted, and it was done to the satisfaction of the customer. iXow is Elizabeth City worth while? If so. we must get away from our minds, out of our hearts, this notion that this Is only "a small town." The eity the writer lives In Is a big city. His Idea is that tihe Is a great city, but unfortunately fee meets ever so often the "small town man" with "the small town idea" and "the small town habit." While this does not tako away from the* fact that his city Is a' big city, it doe? show the necessi ty for this preachment. If a thing is worth while it is worth having. If we are ever to be proud of ourselves we must j think great thoughts, do great, things, which brings m? to a story which 1 read long since. It ia about a young man living in an Isolated community and In . somewhat poor circumstances. He was fortunate or unfortunato In being employed as office boy by a heavy stockholder of an express1 company. His life was a drudge until one day he happened to see < the only daughter of his employer.) she being about the same age as this younK man. His eyes were op ened to the fact that he wanted her. but his position was against such a thing being realized. On going to his home and mooning | over the matter he bethought, himself of a package his father | had left him and. upon finding it. I discovered that it contained a few, very few shares of stock In this same express company. With this discovery there came to his mind the fact that there had been considerable agitation among We are Serving Many With our ltuu||li Dry mul I)uui|> Wash. Wliy not you? Men, send uh your shirts and collars. Albemarle Laundry PHONE 125 Alkrama Monday January 5 Two Shall Be Born the director? with reference to this same amount of stock, which was very much needed at that par ticular time. Result: first, this young man realised that he was not as small a factor as he had at first thought, second, that he was very much needed, and finally, if not small and If needed, he was going to be great and much de sired. Along about this time, too. he discovered the quotation used in the beginning of this ar ticle. "As u man thinketh in his heart, so is he." And from that moment he thought big thoughts of himself aiid big things too. The story is long but the final results are what we are after. The world found in this came young man a man of power and influence- 1!? thought big enough of hlmsei! to make himself big. Moral: Don't take stock In "The small town idea." We are a great city?none finer, none bettor. Then proceed to realise the vision. < OTTON MAM F.\<TI KKlts ( IT W .1UKS IO l*Klt CKN'T Fall River, Mass..
