Enforcement The J
Need.
In order that the new anti-jug
law may bo effective the need will
be found in ihe matter of secur
ing a proper and vigorous enfor
cement of the Jaw. That is the
truth as to all laws, but in this
one which has as its purpose the
moral betterment of the" peor.le
there must needs be ' the closest
attention' given to its en f orce
ment if the results made possible
by it are achieved. V
Under the law which ' had been
in forte up to the first of April,
the permission granted by the
law for shipment into the State
and the receipt of one gallon of
whiskey, three gallons of wine
and five gallon of beer a week
gave ample opportunity to the
"blind tigers': to ply their trade.
The new law, which ' limits the
quantity to be received . to one
quart of spirituous liquor and five
gallons of beer within a period
of fifteen days should go a long
way toward; breaking up me
"blind tigers." who will not be
able to ordor in sufficient quanti
ties to make their trade" profit
able. '.'
This elimination of the "blind-
tifirer." however, depends upon
the activity of the officials charg
ed with the enforcement of 1 the
lawl for the "blind tigers" and
all their allies will seek ways to
get around it. And in this con
nection it must not be expected
that we will see the crooil effects
of the new law at once,' as the in
dications from all parts of the
state are that there have 1-een
large quanitk s of liquors . laid in
so as to meet the . restrictions
which cams withthe first of April
As : to thisr the old law gives
means by which violations can be
stopped, for there is the search
and seizure law by which there
is criveri "authority to seek for
evidence of violations.
The "quart every fifteen days"
aw "'has in it . the prospect of
trreat srood to North Carolina
with its effective enforcement.
And it should , not be forgotten
that carriers w h o transport and
anv person, firm,' or corporation
who receives quantities of liquors
in excess of the limitation on con
vlr.tion will be found cuilty of a
misdemeanor. - N -.'-

"Asheville, April 2. Departed

than one quart of that which in
ebriates are speeding toward wet
territory from Asheville,. a half
a hundred packages remaining
unclaimed at the local office of
the Southern Express Company
when the new anti-jug law ", be
came effective. Of the packages
shipped twenty-eight were re
ceived during the last week but
were not delivered by reason of
the inability of the express com
pany to locate the consignees.
The other packages, have been
on hand for sometime past, hav
ing been collecting together with
others "Old Hoss" parcels for
many weeks past. Agent J.-. T.
James' was instructed by the
superintendent to return all
packages containing more whisk
ey than the new law allows. -
That . Asheville connoisseurs
are becoming accustomed to the
new law was evidenced by the
appearance at the express office
yesterday of an even dozen neat
ly packed and well wrapped pack
ages of whiskey containing one
quart each. The consiguees evi
dently wanted to get all that was
coming to them under the new
law and had their parcels shipped

Farm Demonstra-
, tion Work
(By J. R. Sams.)
, The United States Department
of Agriculture, the North Caro
lina State Board of Agriculture,
and tho A: & M. College of North
Carolina, are co-operating con
jointly in Madison County for the
purpose of developing; her re
source in every way possible.
Now in Order that every farmer
in the countv mav have the full
hpn'pfifc of this movement, he
should avail himself of its bene
fits: this he can do by calling' at
the officeof their agencieH in the
Court House at Marshall, N. C,
or by writing the agent in charge
concerning any farm problem.
; Don't hesitate to call on the
agent for any desired, help; and
he will render such help if pos
sible, and if not, will try and find
the desired person higher up who
can. K,
Of course the general Govern
ment allows the liberal use of
the franking system to ?arry on
this co operative work 5 but we
should have some method of cor
responding besides the use of
letters, circulars etc. , and heve
is ho medium so effective as that
of a good county paper, wel pat
ronized by. the citizens of that
county.' It this paper, which is
clean and newsy, so far M county
maiters are concerned, could go
into all the farm homes of ' the
County, it would be easy then to
organize the farmers along all
lines of farm activity, :;
I am neither paid nor even ask
ed bv the Editor to write this
article, I do so from the sense of
need cf better organization and
to orcanizo, we should - have an
Vn-nnh which to fineak. I
trust that. every neighborhood,
1
jpndasmany individuah in
neizhbcrLoyd will subscribe
the
for
The News-llecord, so we may get
closer together along all lines of
progressive farm movements.

Villa and
Prohibition
The last man one would turn
to in the expectation of finding
in him a prohibition leader,
would be one of these . Mexican
ceneraU. and ret it seems that
Villa is a prohibitionist of the
rankest sort. As . a cure ;, for
drunkenness he has even i had
some of his soldiers shot hear
ing of which there are some in
North Carolina who may wan
Villa imported into this State for
a season. The facts come out in
reeard to Villa's hatred for liquor
through acorrestxradent of The
Chicaeo Tribune, who recent y
interviewed the Mexican chieftain
in Monterey. - General Villa said
to this correspondent: "Mexico
W without liquor when
peace comes, if it is within my
power." . Villa gave as reasons
that whiskey not only causes epi-
lersv. but makes troops ineffi
cient. ' The first thing he does
tcVpt, hi a troobs reach a town .is
to order all saloons closed. As a
penalty for disobedience, he net
cniy has the drunken soldier shot
but sends the saloon-keepers the
sime route. This revelation of
Villi's sentiments will be calcula
ted to cause a good many people
in the United States to revise
their opinion of this celebrated
characten. - ;
When Will iti End?
With the envitable discussion
which goes on in almost all gath
erings concerning the ; war in
Europe there is usually heard the
question as to: When do you
think that the war will end?"
Any answer is of course pro
blematical, for it is only guess
work which can be done. But
over in England they aire guess-
,ng with the money, for bets are
being laid as to dates for the
possible termination of the war
some of these that it will come
to close by the first of May. In
correspondence from London,
about the middle of March the
bets as to the first of September
being the close of the war were
made on even terms. ; s..
In that correspondence from
London, published in the New
York Sun, the betting at Lloyd's
in London was on odds !of three
two one against the war. ending
before the first of May J- odds of
two to one the first of June: and
as stated, even figures is to the
first of September. After that
date the odds on the close of the
war increase, the odds being 6f
teen to one that the .end will
come before the first : day of
March, with lesser odds as to
the close, on. the months', preced
ing.';' a-':;
In Encrland. and among the
people who knew of the betting
on various things which ;goes on
at Lloyd's, there is much import
ance attached to the belts made.
The odds given in' the betting, as
reported from LondoV,' are signi
ficant in that there h shown 1
spirit oi optimism as to tho early
close of the war.: It may well be
hoDed in this country, as in the
countries at war and in all na
tions. that Lloyd's is a correct
barometer as to the war, and that
the end will soon come.

What Makes a Girl
Popular.
" i .
Leslie's.
Every girl has the perfectly
natural desire to b$ popular with
the other sex, and every girl is
interested in knowing the secret
of such popularity. Some girls
have the idea that the way to
have a good timec is . to break
away from the recognized rules
0' social life. The free-and-easy,
reckless type of girl may receive
a srood deal of attention of a cer
tain kind, but it is safe to say that
men do not really care for such
a girl. Certainly they do not
have any respect for; her. They
may enjoy a summer flirtation
with her, but such a girl never
enters seriously into their
thoughts. The girHwho is kind
and thoughtful to her; parents is
the girl whom they admire. Ibe
girl who is disrespectful to her
parents will not long retain thd
respect of others: j Men know
very well that a girlwho deceives
her mother cannot be trusted. A
eood daughter has; in her the
making of a good'wife, and a man
remembers this when he begins
to think seriously of matrimony.

on it that made others appreciate
its worth. " - - ,
A customer came one , day to
Franklin's little book store iu
Philadebhia. and not Wng satis
fied with the pi ice demanded by
the clerk for tha book he wanted
demanded to see the proprietor
The clerk pleaded .tha t ' Mr.
Franklin was very busy, in the
pressroom, but the customer in
sisted, and Franklin' summoned
from his work hurried into the
store. - -
"What is the lowest price you
will take for this book, sir ,
asked the leisury customer.
"One dollar and a quarter,
was the prompt reply.
" What? Why your clerk asked
me only a dollar just now
"True," said Franklin, "and
I could have better afforded to
have taken a dollar than to "leave
my work."
The customer thought him jok
ing. "Come, now." he said,
laughiug, "your lowest price fir
this book?" -"Onedollar
and ahalf." -""Why
man, you just said a
dollar and a quarter.','
"Yes. and I could better have
taken ithat than a dollar and a
half now.". -
The purchaser paid the higher
price. At that, lie had learned
cheaply from the greatest philo
sopher of his day not only that
he who squander his own time is
foolish, but that lie who wastes
iie time of others is a thief. Se
