It is this natural quality of Cottolene which also makes it so superior for pies, pastry, biscuits, cakes and all shortened foods. Try Cottolene order a small pail from your grocer.

Clinton. N.

a. Feb. 17. Rev. Sam Small, of Georgia, addressed a large audience here Tuesday night in favor of amending the Federal constitution for national prohibition Some of the speaker's statements were novel and newsy to most of his hearers.

Referring to the objections by Congressmen Pou and Small that they resented this amendment because it invited other states to dictate an anti-liquor policy to North Carolina, Dr. Small carefully explained the methods of amending the Federal constitution. "Now." he said, "these North Carolina Congressmen are just 127 years too late in making their own protest against the constitution's methods for its amendment. are plainly dissenting from and resisting the compact that North Carolina made with the other states of the union when she entered it. The union was formed without the consent and co-operation of North Carolina.

She and Rhode Island refused to ratify the constitution when presented by Washington and his colleagues of the convention. The eleven other states did -ratify, it, established the Federal government, elected and inaugurated George Washington as President and in all of that work North Carolina remained an out- sider and an alien. Congress in its first session even levied duties upon imports into the union from North Carolina and Rhode Island the same as upon imports from other foreign countries. "Subsequently, November 21, 1789, North Carolina ratified the Constitution and entered the union, agreeing thereby that three-fourths of the states at any time might ratify a constitutional change and by it fully bind the other one-fourth of the states. Can North Carolina representatives now denounce and resist that contract without subjecting themselves to the charge of Punic alth of rank repudiation? "But the people of North Carolina are not so minded.

Only in recent years North' Carolina aided in forcing the income tax amendment upon the unwilling -states of Connecticut, Florida. Pennsylvania.
