WORDS CF WISDOM. luring the progress of the court during the past two weeks Judge It F. Long said many things that left an impression upon his hearers. A trial for illegal selling of whiskey in prohibited territory came up for judgment and the usual plea for leniency had been made by counsel for defense. Judge Long re- marked that this was a business that should be broken up. Any stranger could come in Pitt county see that whiskey sold, legally illegally, at little villages over the county making large business for the criminal court dockets. II he had the privilege of a vote in the matter it would be cast against the sale of liquor anywhere that ample police protection could not be had. The little towns and cross roads villages have no protection. They may have a constable or police officer these places, but they are not go- to do anything against the man who sells whiskey, being under their influence with eyes and months ed with a liberal supply of free whiskey These officers will never slop whiskey selling. At another time man of good raising and line intellect plead to the charge of being a nuisance through common drunkenness Judge Long said this was one of the cases that positively made him sick and he did not know what to do with such a man lie had shown that there were times he could control himself, even for a long e- and again his appetite for drink made a hog and a nuisance of him, The man professed to lore his little five-year-old boy, who was motherless, bettor than anything in the world.
