BUILDING AND LOAN DOINC SPLENDID WORK Perhaps no organisation in Dunr has done more during the last Ms months for the upbuilding of thi town than the Horae Building nac Loan association. The activities ol this association has resulted in th< erection of approximately 25 new homes in Dunn sines its organise!ior last June and this is only the begin ning of tho good work to follow Ir the future. Homebody has said the no man does not lire in his own horns Is a good ettisen. While that may n*i bo true, (t can bo safely aaid that thi mnn who owns his own homo is Uh bad eltison a town can havo. Mon homos mean a "biggur and n better' Duna and the chief purpose of thii organisation is to make it posalbli for the citiaens sf the town who d< not own their homes to own them. Not only should those who decin to build through the association taki stock whan the "fourtb series open: on March t, bat those who lira ii their own homos should lend the! aid by subscribing liberally.

Crady dwelt particularly upor crime* in the violation ft thr prohibition law. He traced the growtl Iuf prohibition legiitatlon, local .me Butlv step by step up to tbs tint) when North Carolina votrr* pasaer the 8tate, prohibition law. and wrnl on to say; "It make* no difference erttnt you or I may think about thl* matter. Tb« die U cast, tt.c thing it done, and no* I it ia tor you and me to iwe tlu.1 thi : laws arc enforced. Some of ue, lr I tip oi pest, may haw indulged more I idi in the 0*u of inloxleatimr b»v < tr.stea. Some of tu may have taken , ‘.lie view that these prohibitory lawi were an lirfringent upon our rigbta a* free born American eitisens; ami that vlow has led many good men Int* error. It la regrettable that so many of our citizen* look upon these police regulations with contempt. It is im time for us to engage ia any argo ra-mt as to tha Jostnesn of the law; 1 *.:d If we should do so. Iher* n ons argument that ought to (ilrnca the most rapid anti. 1 have never ysl found a man who was witling for hu own aon to take a drink. There is sot a man In North Carolina who would be willing for bis son engage in the liquor traffic, unless that ataa hat become ao perverted as to hsvs tost hit moral perceptions. It is a fact, well established here, that the person who deals in liquor ia a man of bod tUiartst. Bach a mao la with*at tha aenthaaata ef gratitade or sffoafio*. Ha Jo, • him a pries that ia aqwallj^aa efla; and he will then expect that neighbor to go Into court and perjure his soul to keep the scoundrel off the roads We harro many good ritisens in this State, I am sorry to say, who are la boring under the perverted and in sane idea that they are honor board ' to protect the** miscreants bocausc the brew was sold in secrecy. 8uch notions Aral suggest, aad that fathei the crime of perjury. In man rasas the buyer is summoned into court the • bootlegger senile him word that hi will expect protection. Ho knows that if he tells the truth hi* howsa may be burned, hi* stock poisoned or hi himself shot from ambush; so hi swesrs that he has never purchased any liquor from the defendant. The court, tha Jury and everybody else knows that he ia committing perjury, but the bootlegger goes free. *‘|fr. Foreman and Gentlomen ol tha Grand Jury: You may wondei why it is that I have put so mucV stress on this particular crime. Ynt j may ask why it i* that 1 have singlet it out in the catalogue of vice, as orn ! that needs special attention at youi i hands. I can answer that questioi , j to your entire satisfaction. It Is be ,' cause this particular offense, ove: ,j and above nil others, produce* tin greatest amount of perjury; *n< r peTjury, to" my mind, Is the were i crime in the catalogue of sin, out I side of the four capital felonies. N< ! man is safe against a liar; no man’ t proparty can be called his own whci r mon will go into the eourt house mm I swear falsely. The patron of th Mind tigers swears falsely to protec his so-called friend; by so doing b has let down the bars, he has lost hi > self respect, he has let his solemi oath out to the highest bidder; lot r gentlemen, If a man swears false! r one time, he will de It again. 1 I time he ha* advertised hi* person* - honor as a thing of bargain and salt i Let me tell you a story: A few yeai - ago, while I waa Mayer of Clmtoi f two men wem arrested on the street ’ wHJt several empty jugs which plait > j ly showed that they had rorcntly res >| tainvd liquor. One of the men tumo -I Stale's evidence and testified th* ill they had sold the whiskey to one o s'our merchants. Mo stated that th 9 merchant’s chock could be found I hie companion’s poekot. Wo searcho the man and found (he check $98.0 r for 1$ gallon* of whiskey. I sun a molted the merchant and he solcmel * swore that hr had not bought an * whiakey from the defendant; but th( k the check waa given In payment ft butter and sgga.

Notwithstanding th* largo lnad made by the Dunn team in the Brut part of the game, the Oxford boo keteer* never slackened their fight, but very bitterly contested oil th* playi and movaeacnU of the Duos team. Th* Oxford team was out* played,tn every position by 'die Dunn team It may bo said with all e'm cer.'ty th* tth* defsatod team died hard, never losing their fighting spirit.
