Some say it will be $1,000,000. Some even say it won’t he 5500,0 00. The whole matter, it is Agreed, simmers down to this: How < will North Carolinians take to this 8.2 percent beer'.they have been hear ing so much about. , It is pointed oilt by some that when prohibition went\ into effect there tjtas relatively litt’je beer consumed <in 1 North Carolina, although beer con-* sumption' was then on the increase. Since then, and under prohibition, this school of thought maintains, North Carolina has become more than ever a “hard likker” State. ; The new generation, it is pointed out, has never been accustomed to beer, and while every one will want to try out the new 3.2 percent, beer, they will do so merely out of curios ity, and drinkers are not likely to give up corn whiskey' for beer of a small alcoholic content. It is estimat ed that beer, when it is legalized, will soil for five and ten cents a stein- The average corn whiskey in North Carolina brings from 25 cents to 75 cents a pint, ' c.Karl c.

A bill is now pending in the Senate to set up a State unemployment insurance fund, while a bill to set up a State fund for the operation of the workman’s com pensation act iis now in committee stage. The latter bill, it is claimed by eliminating overhead costs and competition 'i among the insurance companies, would provide cheaper in surance rates for errtployers and pro vide more security for the workers.
