TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR EXETER, O:NT ►.RIO TIURSW. ►.Y, OCT. 3J 1913. SANDERS & CREECH Local Items Publishing names of subscribers who are i.0 arrears, and who pay no at- tention to notices sent them by the publishers of weekly papers is becom- ing quite the popular and easy way to straighten out arrearages. The Ei- ght Sun adopted the idea, to advant- age and ,now the Ayton Advance is. trying it. By another year or two, with this kind of publicity, there, will be no such thine as the delinquent subscriber "Lists of permits" the unassuming blue book of automobile and motor cycle licenses, was issued last week by the Provincial Secretary's depart- ment This book is printed twice a year and to date shows practically 23 000 motors under licenses 660 demon- strating licenses emon-strating-licensesand 2,045 motor cycle Permits, The total reventte from this source is now running close to the $100,004 mark, ,and will probably ex= tend that figure before the year is out, We believe we are within the limit whe.; we say that fully 95 per cent thepubliic i oZ these who use. highway hwa .ty ar- of the opinion that it is the duty of the pedestrian to get out of the way of any conveyance which might happen to be using the highwayat same time or e-1se take the conse- quence The fact of the matter is just exactly the opposite -the pedes- trian has the right of way and all conveyances whether horse-drawn, motor -driven or pedalled by a eider must avoid the pedestrian or become responsible for any accident which might occur. 3,0&.

The statement has been made in the cent;, 70 per cent. and even 90 per cent.of the electorate ,demand either money or w;laaskey for their votes at elections, With all due respect to, the people who make the statement we mast say we do not believe it, Of course, we never had any exper- lience either in tempting ar being tempted in that way, but we think 15 per cent.. would be putting it high. It surely cannot be possible that one half. of the voters are purchasable in that sense. ,_p-• - The furniture business in Clinton for sometime carried on by Messrs, Dunsford & May has been purchased by Messrs.

It is quite unnecessary, we believe, to ask the boys to spend the evening in to creditable manner, It is years .since Exeter has witnessed the wanton de- struction of property which some- times characterized former years, and we believe the boys have better sense to -day. in this matter at "least.

Judging from news paper reports of sin:eller e,ntertairs- inents conducted by the present man- agement it would seem to be one of the most amusing things now offered for public patronage. It" will be, in the first place, as ex- act reproduction of a court scene in methods and procedure and on this account will be extremely interesting to fatties and others who have never attended a real trial. Beat of all will be, the refined run of, the whole affair, With L. H.Dick- son presiding over the court, Sliss L Edmunds appearing as the broken- hearted plaintiff, J. M. Southcott as the defendant, Cot A Y. Newton of. Worcester Mass,, prosecuting the case, and J. G, Stanbury, •B,A., de- fending the accused, to. say nothing,. of the brilliant array of court officers, witnesses and jurors, it is pretty cer tail: we shall have all the comedy and reality of a court scene end enough wholesome fun to 'last a whole year. • Wit, pathos; eloquence, laughable. local hits and vagaries will be drawn upon without Stint to keep up the current merriment. 'As an entertainment of innocent fun, conducted with mock dignity and without the shade of offense; to re- fined tastes, the Mock Court Trial will he as mentioned above, an event of unusual ,interest.

Weidenhammer, Crediton CLAIM, SCOTT ACT WILL HURT NOT ;HELP HURON COUNTY. The 'Huron County Business Men's Association are as deeply ` concerned about the welfare of the County as those who: want to carry the Scott Ac- is : the County are concerned, This association is just as anxious to do the things and stand for the things being clone that will raise the standard of morals and :improve social and economic conditions in Huron County as those w,ho are opposing it in the ;position it takes upon: the proposed Scott Act for the County. This Association opposed the Scott Act in Huron County because it does not believe it would be a goodlaw t. for the" County. Experience has shown. the Scott Act to be a failure wherever and whenever tried. In- stead ot ,raising the standard of mor- als it hes" Towered ,,•it, Instead of im- proving social conditions it has 'le- glade^ them. Instead of making it easier for boys to ,grow up to be good men, and their sisters to be goo:.'• women, it has made it harder. Instead of attracting business and making , business better it has driven business away and made business worse Instead of abolishing drunk-. eane ss and the drink habit it has in- creased both. Why is this true ? It is true be- cause the law is not a good law. This ASSOCIATION does not ask you to take its word that the law is nota good law. It asks you to read the: -law for yourself and judge for yourself whether the Scott Act would or would not bringabout the conditions in Huron County this As- sociation claims it would bring: about. Section, 117 of the Act is in these words: "From the day on which this Part comes into force and takes ef- fect in any county or city, and ror so long thereafter as, and while the same continues or is in force therein, no person shall, except as in this ;part specially provided, by himself, his clerk, servant or agent:- "(a) expose, or keep for sale, with- in such county or city, any :ntox- icating liquor; or, " (Int directly ar indirectly on _any pretense ox upon any device, with in any Such county or city, sell or barter, or; in consideration of the purchase of any property, give to any other person any intoxi- cating liquor; or, A quiet wedding was solemnized at the Methodist Church, Crediton, on Wednesday, Oct, 22, when Miss Pearl French, eldest daughter of Mr. 'and Mrs. George French, 578 English St, London ,was united in marriage to Mr. L J Sims of Crediton. The young couple were unattended. Rev. Mr, Jefferson officiated, They will reside in Crediton. The dwelling .An three acres of land belonging to Mr. Frank Snell of London was sold by public . auction by Mr. B. S. Phillips of Exeter on Saturday alst- to Mr. Matthew Sims for the stun of $565. We understand. that Mr. Sims afterwards disposed of the property to Mr. Win. Flynn of McGillivray. Mr. John Feltner lost four head of cattle .in Mud Creek Drain, this week They had strayed ,onto the farm of Mr J. K. Schroeder and getting into the ditch, sank and were drowned, They were found there on Tuesday. The rain which fell the past week has made the ground in. splendid con ditio.n for ploughing, and our farmers are taking advantage of it. A petition was circulated among the residents of the east end asking the Post Office Department not to close the Crediton East Office. Itis to be hoped that nothing will be done as it will prove a great incon- venience to the people there. A test was made of our fire engine on Monday, It proved satisfactory. Our people are getting quite in- terested over the proposed line of: the Hydro -Electric Railway, Talk it up. We want a railway. Our town will boom and sub -divisions will then be the talk of the day. We are pleased to learn that Miss Ida Fanner, who has been ill with scarlet fever, is improving. Mathew Guenther has been doing some masonry work 1n town the past ivee1 He is . quite handy with the trowel. The Sunday School of the Evan- gelical church will be held Sunday afternoons now since the summer is passed: DASHWOOD • .,, tee Mr" and Mrs, Sam'l Link and .fir. and Mrs. Chas.

During theweek ending Oct, 7th there entered Western Canada byvar• iota' ports from the . United States 1,18/ persons, with $287,044 cash and effects valued at $103,458. Of these 444 were farmers, 191 laborers, 220 women and children, 177 mechanics and 56 clerical workers, "(c) send;. ship, bring oa' carry or cause to be sent, shipped, brought or carried to or into any such county; or city, any intoxicating liquor; ox, " (d) deliver to any consignee or othe person, or store, warehouse, or keep for delivery, any intoxi- cating liquor so sent, shipped, or brought or carried. "2 Paragraphs (c) and (d) of tub- section 1 of this section shall not ap- ply to any intoxicating liquor sent shipped, brought ax carried to any person or persons for his or their per sonal or family use, except it be so sent, shipped, brought or carried to be paid for in such county or city to the person delivering the same his clerk, servant or agent, or his master or principal, if the, person de- livering it is himself a, servant or agent. A public debate upon this, question would be .the best and quickest means of giving the voter information upon this grave problem. An oppor-, tunity to hear both sides at once would be interesting and instructive. These who are favoring the Scott Act, or Canada Temperance Act, in this county are favoring prohibition of the liquor traffic, so far as that traffic relates to the sale of liquor in the " County. This Association. hopes they are doing this because they believe prohibition is right in principal, Christian in character, end a remedy for drunkenness. This As- sociation is apposed to prohibition be- cause it believes it to be wrong in principle, un -Christian in character, and powerless as a remedy for drunk- enness, The issue is plainly joined. This Association therefore challenges those whoa are favoring the Scott Act in this County to debate the followw+, ing resolution :- Resolved that Prohibition is fun- damentally wrong in principle, an - Christian in character, and power- erless as a remedy for drunkenness. This Associationwill name a man as its champion, and meet any man having the endorsement of the Dom- inion Alliance, eachside to pay one- half the expenses of holding the le - bate ,reporting and printing the speeches of the debaters and mailing a copy to each and every voter in the noway, THE HURON COUNTY BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION.
