! the race question has played an Im
j.ortant part In the prohibition cam
paign. It Is alleged that crime
HguliiHt women have become much
Icbs frequent In all parts of the south
where prohibition has been enforced
and thut the traffic in vile liquor nan
been largely reiqionHlble for the com
mission of such crime.
That "respectable" whites will not
be forced to totally abstain from in
toxicants under a prohibition regime
In evidenced by the large number of
"prescriptions'" which have been
filled by druggists of. the towns now
presumably "dry." Charlotte Is point
ed out as an example of this method
of evasion, since nearly 40,000 medical
prescriptions ' for "booze," mostly In
pint and quart quantities, have been
filled In the last year. The "Jug
houses" of neighboring states have
also served to ameliorate the arid con
dition In the "dry" counties and they
will doubtless contlnus to do an even
more flourishing business under the
prospective prohibition regime.

A Gila monster, direct from the
desert of Arizona, wus received yes
terday by a representative of the Cap
ital News and Is now attracting con
siderable attention In the show win
dow of the Hullou-Latlmer drug
store, says the Boise Capital News.
The Gila monster Is one of the most
deadly species of the lizard tribe and
the only one known to have venomous
teeth, which, when once closed upon
Its victim, never releases Its grip un
til the death struggles are over and
several cases have been known where
r.ien have been bitten on the fingers
and were obliged to sever the member
from the hand in order to get rid of
the poisonous lizard.
Although Its bite In nearly every
ca."e Is fatal, and In three minutes
time will penetrate the entire system .
causing 'ho victim to die in awful
agony, but little attention Is paid to .
the lizard by Inhabitants of Arizona,
for It will never bite unless disturbed ,

Years ago In the early days of the
Arizona territory these lizzards were
quite numerous and people not being
generally informed- upon its deadly
poison bite, many victims died fror
the effects of Its bite until its name
became known throughout the west
and strangers going on the desert al
ways have a dread of being attacked
by the monster.
Now the species has become scarce
and although many are still found m
the vicinity of the Gila river, It Is a
curiosity at Arizona cities and ro
ptietors of curlu stores, drug stores
and other business houses readily pay
from 3 to $10 for a good specimen.
It Is stated by the pioneers of Ari
zona that the Indians of the territory
got their Idea of war decorations from
these lizzards and when bedecked
with their hideous stripes the designs
painted resemble the stripes of the
Gila monster.

The prohibition campaign In North
Carolina had Its Inception Immediately
following the disfranchisement of
negro voters eight years ago. Afthat
time there were saloons In nearly
every county In the commonwealth,
nnd hundreds of distilleries, most of
which have already been put out of
business, were running nt their full
capacity. The distilling Industry was
a large and Important one, but the
