Washington, Dec. 5^—The prohibi
tion storm having its center over the
capital, showed no signs of subsiding
today, after a week of turbulence in
which eddies whirled about the White
House, numerous statements were re
leased from wet and dry environs, and
the issue was brought further into
the open as one of the questions likely

Two youths In particular were Inter
ested In the colls of wire and doings
of these men. They secretly hoped
that they might be up and bustling
about, shortly, as these lads were. It
la not strange that two normal boys
would be interested In being up and
busy with crisp Christmas air and
inspirations floating about A free

south end of the room, and Jade was
on the cot at Bill’s left The next
morning, Christmas morning, Bill
woke, listened a moment, then rang
for the floor nurse. In his excitement
he roused Jade.
“Jack, are we alive? I hear bells,
chimes, singing.”
“Well, I heard it too, when I had
■ my bead on the pillow, bat now that
I have lifted my head up, I don’t hear
it”
The nnrse arrived, beaming with
smiles. When questioned by the ex
cited boys, she answered, “The boys In
the radio class at the high school in
hack of us here, thought they would
surprise you, and I guess they did.
The bead phones worked fine. Perhaps
you would like to talk to those boys
who Installed your set. They are
tuning in. I will get them.”
'Jack and Bill could not contain
themselves. “A radio, how wonder
ful ! The days won’t be half so long.’*

impending session of congress.
Speaking at the Fifth Baptist
church here today, Wayne B. Wheeler,
counsel for the Anti-Saloon league,
dealt with various phases of the sub-
ject, while Representative Gallivan,
Democrat, Massachusetts, a wet lead
er in congress, issued a statement
“answering the attack of the united
committee for prohibition enforcement
made upon President Coolidge and his
administration because of the alleged
lack of enforcement.”
Mr. Wheeler asserted that prohibi
tion “is ; advancing steadily in spite of
its epemies and some of its misguided
friends.”
“The measure of its success may
be guaged by the frantic desperation
of its opponents who are seizing at
straws today to save themselves,” he
declared. ,
“The foes of prohibition point to the
leaks in the dam, in the hope that
they may weaken the morale of the
dry forces. The friends of prohibi
tion point to these same weak spots
with the insistence that they be closed
and enforcement made more thor
ough.” " |

“If the beer bund does invade

LAURENS LEAGUE
WILL ADVERTISE
Ambitious Program Is Arranged By
Business Organization For
County’s Farm Landa.
Laurens, Dec. 6—The Laurens Busi
ness league this week adopted an am
bitious program that has for its pur
pose the advertising of the farm lands,
which constitute ond of the main as
sets of any county dependent on agri
culture, which, after all, is the back
bone of all industry. It is realized
that something must be done in order
to keep up the tillage of the farm
lands if prosperity is to abound. Mi
gration of Ifcbor and of farm tenents
has made serious inroads into the
ranks of both white and negro fann
ers.
The plan of the business league is
to list land «options and place them
than they can find elsewhere, perhaps,
when the productivity of the soil, the
advantages of improved highways,
churches are considered.
Thousands of acres of moderately
priced lands arc available for flew
settlers in Laurens county right npw,
and this fact is to be stressed and pat
in attractive form through mediums
of advertising and through personal
effort by representatives delegated- to
promote the scheme.*
These special inducements will be
carried mainly to the farmers and
others who may wish to invest in
farm lands who have recently dispos-
J d of their farm interest in sections
f North Carolina where big tracts
and hundreds of small farm homes
have been absorbed by promoters. In
Henderson county, North Carolina,
there is said to be a promising field
for obtaining families who have sold
out and are seeking new places of
residence with' the view of continuing
their vocation of farming. It is be*
lieved that many of them will be at
tracted to this section when put in
possession of information that living
conditions in this section are compara
ble to any in the country, coupled with
the fact that the land is cheap in
price and capable of fair to profitable
returns.
