ATONBJMENT DEPARTMENT, At last retribution has fallen ufcon our most unworthy head. For over a year now we nave neld full sway over this column, using ifc ; '&s ■ a means to make folks both ridtculoug and angry, yet until today we have gone our way in complete .irtttyfcfer ence to the protests and growls' of an angry public. But at last 'Wei are to pay. » For in last week's issue wt spoke not wisely, but too well. forces it to our attention that the column has at last been taken, ser iously. .. The particular quip which proved our undoing read as follows: "Those opposed most in this state to the re peal of the Turlington Act and the legalization of light wines and beer are the bootleggers and hypocrites." At the time we wrote the'afeove BETTER BE SAFE THAN SORRY Play Safe! Insure! Paul Gwyfti INSURANCE 71 ALL LINES x. it Security Service > i Phone »Ut •- ~v' ~ 10 kin, N. C.

C. paragraph we thought nothing about it as it is not a part of our duties, while writing this column, to do any thinking. However, we were forced to think last Friday morning upOn receipt of a letter from Rev. Eph Whisenhunt which stated in no un certain terms that we had placed every* church and religious conven tion in the state in- the dlgss of a hypocrite. To be perfectly frank and good humored about the matter, the statement was rather broad, yet it was intended in no way to cast any slur or reflection upon any religfous organization. When we wrote it we were not thinking of the churches — we were thinking of the bootlegger, who to a large extent would have his playhouse torn up if light wines and beers came back—and of that hypocritical class which poses in pub lic as saints and the avowed enemies of alcohol, yet who have their, fun, apd liquor too, when far from the eyes of those they deceive. In o.ther words'.-we had in mind those who "vote diiy &nd think wet". express a horror for liquor be cause it sounds well to their neigh bors, and drink liquor in secret be cause it suits their taste. We know, and Mr. Whisenhunt knows, th&t their tribe.is many. ' Personally—and this, is our own tirfvate opinion and not to be at tributed to the management of this pap6r—-we cannot get alarmed at "the condition light wine and beer "may invoke upon North Carolina should she see. fit to legalize such brew. We realize, that our life has ■been lived during a time -when strong drink hafe been an outlaw—--yet, (al though an outlaw, our-experience as a newspaper reporter in a number of big town police courts has shown it •to?toe a' very active one.

ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA and other alcoholic driuiid, whether it be hair tonic or whatnot, as they occupied a prominent seat in police court to face the music of a drunk enness chargo. We may be wrong, j but we don't believe a boy or girl could hold enough beer or wine of 3.2 per cent, to get that drunk. ' Still, we are not setting ourself up as an authority on how to solve the prohibition problem. We are merely expressing an opinion that is personal and to which we have a right, be it right or wrong. As to classing the churches as hy pocrites, such was not our intention whatsoever. The full text of letter will be found in the readers' column in this issue. * * • It strikes us as rather odd that the same mail which brought to our desk a letter of protest to the state ment outlined above, should also bring us a letter from our advertis ing matrice service, the first para graph of which reads as follows: "Gentlemen: "We're ready with Beer advertis ing if you're ready for it. A com plete set of illustrations in all sizes —a full page Opening Announce ment bubbling over with life and human interest —also four, three, two and illustrations; all of them cheerful and keyed to the times. "A letter will bring the entire set to you. Mats and proofs are ready now."

Knowing Mr. Holcomb as we do, we know he wouldn't sand the sugar. It's possible, however, that he might sugar the sand .... .

Usually when there is' a chance of saving a burn ing building 1 they, as their first act, break out all window panes. When I the Hudspeth home burned—and everyone knew there wasn't a chance to save it—the firemen saved intact I a majority of the window sashes, in cluding the panes of glass. „ TO LAUNCH SISTER SHIP | t Elkin, March 24.
