ed at the meeting, briefly outlined
the position of those favoring re
peal, It is not, he said, a campaign
between wstn and drys but, an elim
ination of a system of alcoholic
control which has proved to be a
failure. Is there, he asked, less
whisky drunk or available in Cle
veland county than there was prior
to 1920 when federal control became
effective? He argued that a tre
mendous amount of expense in the
handling of federal courts alone
could be saved in the entire matter
if alcoholic control is left to the
state. He pointed out that 90 pei
cent of federal court cases are of j
the same type so far as seriousness
is concerned as those tried in Cle
veland county recorders’ court and
th^t while the county solicitor han
dles the docket daily four attorneys
paid bv the federal government are
utilized to prosecute the federal
docket.
Meet On Friday
Another meeting will be held next
Friday night at 8 o'clock and prior
to the election it is planned to se
cure several speakers to outline the
administration program In reference
to the 18th amendment. Judge Wil
son Warlick, Walter Murphy and
Senator Bob Reynolds will b# in
vited to speak in the county.
Resolution
The following resolution was
adopted:
Whereas President Rcosevelt in
his program to rehabilitate the
country has asked as part of his pian
the repea lof the 18th amendment
so that the federal government will
not only be saved the tremendous
federal court and other costs In en
forcement but will obtain revenue
from the sale of alcoholic beverag
es in states which favor the legali
zation of sale and
Whereas officers of states In
which public sentiment is overwhel
mingly in favor of the sale of whis
ky state that profits from bootleg
sale finances great organizations of
racketeers and gangs and have ask
ed citizens of states that are dT.v
to repal the amendment, leaving
the matter to the individual states,
and
Whereas. In North Carolina which
has had a state prohibition law since
1907 there was. in, our opinion, less
traffic in alcohol and less drinking
between 1907 and 1920 when the fed
eral prohibition law went into effort i
than since 1920 and
Whereas it is our firm belief that
our local officers operating under
state laws without the interference
of federal officers will be better able
to take care of law enforcement than
they are at present with the division
of responsibility.
Be it resolved that this meeting
call upon all patriotic citizens of
Cleveland county who are true
friends of temperance to rally
around President Roosevelt and vote
for repeal In November.
County To Be Dry,
Judge Webb Thinks
(Continued From Page 1)
has this country seen such wide
spread, persistent, never-ending
propaganda in favor of a cause.
This propaganda, insidious through
out. has been financed largely by
the brewers and distillers of this'
and other countries Rnd bv the
very wealthy who believe the reve
nue derived from taxation on in
toxicating liquors will lighten then
tax burden. No avenue of approach
to the American mind has been
omitted by the wet propagandists
They have used the moving picture,
the comic shee. the legitimate
stage, newspapers, magazines, the
platform—every possible means of
influencing public opinion."
“What do our wet friends offer
to the people of North Carolina In
place of prohibition." asked Judge
Webb. "I have never yet seen a
statement from any of their lit
erature or from any advocate of
repeal of the 18th amendment as to
what system of liquor control or
sale they propose to install In
North Carolina. The people of
this state may as well make up
their minds that, if the wets win.
the old open saloon, with all of its
degrading Influences, will be back
with us. God pity North Carolina
then."

ant cashier of the bank. The car in
which they were riding collided
with another car driven by Carl An
derson of near Lenoir.
The accident happened between I
Lenoir and Morganton late at night I
and Mr. Claywell died of his in

ing.
The Morganton bankers had at-1
tended a district meeting at Lenoir j
which was also attended by three]
Shelby bankers, Forrest Eskridge, |
Paxton Elliott and Jesse Bridges, j
The Shelby men picked up the in-j
jured Morganton bankers and j
rushed them to a Morganton hos-■

Mr. Eskridge, president of the
North Carolina Bankers association
had made a speech to the bankers
and discussed with them the new
Interest rate of three per cent on
deposits which the. Federal Reserve
System is compelling member banks
to adhere to a service charge to

Wet Seed Cotton
Needing Attention
Rainy Weather Damages Cotton —
After A Rain Wait A Few
Days For Sunshine.
<By Extension)
Thp cotton crop of North Carolina
has been damaged seriously by the
continued cloudy, rainy weather and
presents a problem of careful hand
ling to the grower.
P. H. K me, agronomist for th?
North Carolina Experiment Station
says this rainy weather tagan just
as much of the cotton was opening
Many cracked bolls have rotted and
will not open and many opened
bolls are damaged to the extent
that the grade of the staple will
be lowered The seed in such bolls
have absorbed much moisture, will
germinate poorly and should not
be saved for planting next season
"We knew_that cotton should no1
be picked while wet.” says Mr. K:mc
"Two or three days of sunshine be
fore starting to pick will allow fhe
cotton to dry out a great deal and
It will pick and gin much better
If the cotton is damp, it should be
sunned for two or three days be
fore being stored in the cotton
house. Even then, It should be scat
tered out on the floor and stored 1
with a pitch fork every day. Stor
ing damp cotton in large piles »ill
cause It to heat and the seed rend
ered unfit for planting. Heated seed
also are penalized by the oil mills '
Klme makes the further observa
tion that wet or green cotton will
"gin-cut” badly causing reduced
prices for the lint.
He suggests that planting seed b"
saved from the second picking rath
er than the first.
Those who have pure seed of good
varieties should take every precau
tion to prevent mixing of the seed
at the gin. If it is impossible to
gin several bales at one time, a*
least the grower should demand
that the seed roll be dumped, the
gin cleaned and the seed caught on
the floor in bagging. Such pure
seed should be carefully stored in
sags, not in bulk, and the bags
stacked in such a way as to allow
free circulation of air about them

Drowned Man Is

Blltmore Salesman Is Browned In
Ia*k*> Lure As Hi* Car Leaves
Highway.
The dead body of Morris Domi
net-z, traveling salesman of Blltmore
was recovered this afternoon at 1
ocloek from Lake Lure where in
ear plunged from the highway Sun
day afternoon at 4 o'clock at the
end of the Cane Creek bridge.
Hundreds of people gathered soon
after the car was seen to plunge
from the highway and splash in the
water. No one knew who or how
many occupied the ear, but late
on Sunday afternoon a salesman s
brief case was found floating on the
water and the name on this Indicat
ed that Morris Donimetz was the
death driver
Rescue parties formed and tried
in vain to pull the car from the
bottom of the lake. Cables and
hooks were not strong enough to
lift its weight. sp the fire depart
ment from Asheville was called to
the scene and worked all morning.
At 10 o'clock the Chevrolet coupe
was pulled out but as the man's
body had floated out of the oar.
It was not until 1 o clock this after
noon that, his body was recovered
A lady driving another car on the
crowded highway, saw the mystery
car go over the embankment but
she did not notice the type of car
or the number of occupants. It Is
supposed that the driver lost eon
troll on a sharpe curve. He was
an ex-service man and represented
a vinegar concern.
His body was taken this afternoon
to his Biltmore home.

are cheaper than coffin linings.
