Figures are stubborn things, and those statistics give an undoubteo proof of the effectiveness of prohibition, in the matter of drunkenness alone, there were about four times as many cases last year as compared with the first nine months of the present year. There is almost a decrease of 50 per cent as regards all cases docketed. To be exact, this measure of decrease would be about 45 per cent. A DESPERATE HOBO over Williams.

In the former days this was practically tru Those who did not "set In the game" 1 kept In touch and were ready and prepared to "take a hand" if called, and it was well that It was so. Candidates for office had to stand the ordeal of i fire.run the gauntlet of public opinion. In these latter days, when commer- eialism and fts shadow, or twin brother, graft, softly behind, has I largely taken possession of this great country, it may be well for usof the South to return to "old day ways" and again all become politicians before we, too, are swallowed by the wave, and this extract from an address by Robt.

Detective Newman, a man of nerve and as brave as a lion, had an exciting experience with a desperate negro hobo on the yard of the Seaboard Air Line railroad Sunday afternoon. The negro, who kives his name as John Eeaman, from Goldsboro, was wanted for robbing cars. He came to Wel-don Saturday from Portsmouth and Railroad Detective Newman was on his track like a Sherlock Holmes. Newman spotted his man Sunday afternoon and ordered him to surrender.

The negro instead of throwing up empty hands gent two powerful arms cut from his body ana in each nana was a revolver.

It is a set phrase with many of us.

"I'm not a politician," and since "I've been thinkin' it seems to me to mean that "I'm (not) a politician il called." I find in these, my recalling days, that who have been rather fond of using the phrase, "I'm no pol-itican," have been more or less a politician all of my days. That is, I've kept in touch, and whatever party or policy I've endorsed I've been "intense."
