FIVE CENTS PER COPY JUDGE DANIELS S WHISKEY II SOLAR PLEXUS Says Product Of Virginia Runs j Men Crazy GOKS AFTER PISTOL TOTERS ' His Charge A Powerful One And j Was Heard With Interest i By Many In a powerful charge to the (irand Jury yesterday morning, Judge F. A. Daniels of Goldsboro, opened a two week's term of Craven county Super ior Court. "Whiskey brought to North Carolina from Virginia, combined with , the habit of carrying concealed weapons, j is responsible for fifty per cent of the crime committed in North Carolina said Judge Daniels. "Craven county is no wors; in this respect than any other county in the State, neither is it any better. "The stuff being made in Virginia and shipped to Xorth Carolina as whiskey, is the vilest kind of poison and it is running men crazy. There is nothing more dangerous to a commu nity than a young man tanked up on this mean liqour and with a revolver in his hip pocket." After dwelling at length on this sub ject Judge Daniels went down alter ! the houses of ill fame and gambling. '"The young men frequently visit these places," said the Judge, "and their lives are ruined. As to gambling, it is one of the wort of the many evils. Let a man once become a confirmed gambler and there is nothing but the will of the Almighty thai can breafc him from the habit. " Judge Daniels ! also expressed his views on fornica tion and adultery. He told the Grand Jury to make a thorough investigation along this line and to bring before him .every case that they found, j ..The charge, though consuming a comparatively short time, was one of the best and most complete in its pur ' pose, ever heard in Craven county and those who were present in the court room at the time, listened to it with profound interest.
