Good Business for
Fall Seen by Hood
(Continued from Page One.)
March to June of this year is not
expected to be as great as from March
1934, to March 1935, Commissioner
Hood is convinced that the increase
will be substantial.
"The .bankers over the State ato
more optimistic than they have been
in many years and are convinced that
there is a steady improvement in
business throughout the entire State,”
Hood said. “People I meet and talk
with from other states tell me that
we Irave made jf. more rapid recovery
from the depression here in North
Carolina than in any other State and
that we do not realize how much bet
ter off we are than most of the other
Hates.
“I have just come back from a va
cation trip through North Carolina
and several other states, and I was
glad to get back to North Carolina,
where crops looked better and stores
busier and where people were feeling
better. I am prouder than ever that
I am a North Carolinian.”

beckons him. Blair comes upon a

from the house when the animal
leaps at him and returns to his crip

before finding a town and a shelter.
Next morning he goes to a garage to
have his car towed from the ditch.
McClure, the owner, tells him there
are “devils ” in the “big house'".
McClure tcils Blair that a Miss Boise

old house with onlg a servant named
Rita and that he takes groceries to
her regularly but never sees her.

CHAPTER 6
McCLURE, THE garage man,
drove a truck out of his garage,
threw some rope into it, and waited
for Blair to get in. Just as he was
turning out of the narrow driveway
the bus from Winston stopped and
a girl got out of the front seat, whiie
the driver hoisted two suitcases out
cf the back compartment. She stood
puzzled for a moment, then went up
to the truck where the two men were
sitting.
“Where can I find Mr. McClure?”
she asked softly.
“That’s me.”
“Miss Boise vain ... do you know
her? . . . wrote me that a Mr. Mc-
Clure would take me up to her place,
a few miles beyond Boisevain. I am
Janet Lord, and I’m to be her com
panion.” She smiled engagingly.
McClure looked her up and down
before he answered. Blair saw a
slight frown touch his open, frank
face.
“Why, yes. I suppose I can. In
fact I am on my way there with
Mr. Rodman. You can hop in. I’ll
tell the bus driver to bring your
bags.”
Blair slipped out of the small seat,
intending to sit behind, when the
girl motioned him back. “I’ll sit in
back. It’ll be fun.”
“But not very comfortable.”
“Oh, that’s all right . . .’*
“Can’t I sit back with you? I'm
afraid you might fall, and there isn
room for three in the front.”
“Surely.” With that, she climbed
into the back, on top of one of her
suitcases which the bus driver had
Just brought. As soon as she was
settled, she pulled off her snug fit
ting felt hat, and ran her fingers
lightly through her yellow, short
hair, as if it was a tremendous relief
tc get the tight hat off.
“I’ve worn it all day,” she apolo
gized, and her eyes met Blair’s . . .
big violet eyes, with a hint of fa
tigue in them. Her face was pale,
Blair thought, too pale, and her skin
shone luminously. Thin, almost too
thin she seemed, and her hands when
she drew off her gloves weru slender
and as fragile as delicate china.
She closed her eyes and drank In
the fresh, eiean air. Lashes of dark
brown swept her cheeks, touching
the faintly dark rings under her
eyes. There was a childish, elfish
look about the girl, as she sat there,
her hands limp on her knees, her

Legal Whisky On Sale In
City After 26= Year Ban
Raleigh. July 15 —(AP) —The three
quarters of a century fight over the
liquor traffic in North Carolina wit
nessed another chapter today as the
first legal whisky was dispensed in
Henderson after a 26-year ban on
sales of the product in the state.
A review of the laws affecting li
quor trade in the state since the fight
began and recollections of attorneys
here indicates the pendulum is swing
ing bacl: toward legalization of strong
beverages.
Back in the ’7o’s the first serious
movement toward the suppression of
the liquor trade in the state was
started—not as a prohibition measure
—but more of an educational cam
paign for the observance of temper
ance.
Various roders were organized thro
ughout the state to teach, through the
mediums of schools and churches, the
evils of alcohol. One of the most ac
tive of these organizations was the
‘Friends of Temperance.” Attorney
General A. A. F. Seawell recalled to
day that he, a lad of seven years
then, joined the movement as mascot
and toured the state in the cause of
temperance.
In the ’Bo’s the jpendulum began to
swing toward prohibition of liquor in
the state as a dec’ movement to.
ward option. A me similar to that
which the wets a now employing
in seeking to gain a foothold in con
trol of the traffic.
In many communities local laws
were passed prohibiting the sale of
intoxicating beverages in the vicini
ties of churches and school houses. A
number of towns passed statutes ban
ning the sale of liquor in their in
corporated limits. Each legislature
saw hot contests in the committees
over whether or not the sale should
be prohibited in various cities and
towns.
Local control where no option pro
hibiting trading in whisky was in ef
fect came to the front about 1900. Ra
leigh was one of the ‘cities in the
State where liquor was sold under lo
cal supervision- In legislative com
mittees, some fought for prohibition
while others sought the privilege to
sell strong drink under control of the
various units.
As the several sections in which lo
cal option prohibiting the sale of of li
quor was exercised made inroads into
legal traffic of the trade in the state,
sentiment for state-wide prohibition
began to broaden, building up a con
crete prohibition structure. By 190?
the liquor situation became acute in
many communities unable to vote out
iiquor.
The town of 'Salisbury was notable
among these and in the 1907 legisla
ture a group of women descend upon
the legislators with the slogan “Vote
Salisbury dry.” Oratory held sway in
the historical capitol as leaders of
both liquor control and prohibition
factions waxed warm in their discus
sions of what has come so be one of
the paramount political issues in
North Carolina through the years.
Then came the special session ot
1908, called by Governor Glenn, os
tensibly for The purpose of enacting
railroad legislation left pending by
the 1907 legislature.
No sooner had the members gath
ered in Raleigh than a decided trend
for “drying up” the state was evl.
denced. The general assembly voted
to submit to the people the question
of state-wide prohibition and in May
1908. the electorate first voted for
prohibition, 113,612 to 69,416.
Prohibitionists did not cease ef
forts here, however, as later a numbei
of acts were passed strengthening the
dry measure. t
The Watts act, limiting the amount
of liquor an individual might have m
his possession was later enacted, as
was the Weath|rspoon “search and
seizure” measure granting enforce
ment agents more power in combat
ting liquor. The Weatherspoon act
was passed in 1915
Then followed national prohibition.
Congress in 19188 voted to submit the
question to the states. The federal
measure was ratified in 1919 and in
1920 became effective. Congress later
enacted the Volstead act, the enforce
ment measure or the “teeth” for the
18th amendment. I

In 1933 the pendulum began its
swing toward the wet side.
Congress opened the way to tn,
states to vote on repeal of the 18th
amendment. In November of tha L
