Mr. Lucaa and hU board will take no fooliabnese in this elec tion. In short, the word that goee out from 'Samatia and to the ut termost parts of the earth, is that boxes in which doubtful voting has been done, will be heaved from the second story of the state board of elections. Chairman Lu cas was well pleased with most of the work done by the 1939 gen eral assembly when it got to the eVection laws. 'What it did he will enforce. It repealed the absentee ballot In primaries and with it went the markers, the profession al gentlemen who have been able to turn elections more than once. Moreover, .Attorney General Har ry McMullan has ruled that a call for the markers’ aid is a statement of illiteracy, or at least of Inaibility to meet the literacy tesrt. How many voters will stay away from the polls rather than make the proclamation of incom petency nobody knows. How many will go lip and vote blindly with out saying anything, fewer still know. But there is much new ness in this coming primary. It has the party leaders thinking. There is further trouble in the local character of politics. Gover nors, Presidents and even United States senators have some power of exciting interest, but none comparable to stir that a sheriff’s contest can generate. There are no sheriffs running in the 1940 primaries. They hold four years now and will not be available for local purposes until 194 2. The loss of these contests will be sharply felt in all portions of the state, for more money designed for presidents and governors, finds in its finality the sheriff’- mark than was ever dreamed. It is a well-known historical fact that gubernatorial candidates oft en finance the loca' fights, »o the complete abandon.nent of the gentleman who put up the inoney. The 1940 primary. Democrats fear, on account of these election reforms, may not produce more than 4 00,000 votes and in a small total distributed among many candinates there can be some prize startles. There be people in this state who have made reputa tion on alleging that there is a machine which predetermines pol itics five, 10, 15 and even 20 years ahead. But there is not a machine politician in North Car olina who can tell 90 days from the vote what is going to be the effect of recent legislation on vot ing in the primary and general elections. state and thoM ’ardoibn nutting tbe&e 'books ir|ll receive credit,, U>^ ward a certificafe of ac^vamea^ in reading at tM end of the year.

In all of these states, brewers and beer distributors are engaged in active cooperution with law enforcement officials to assure the maintenance of orderly, law ful conditions wherever beer is sold. Launched as an experiment in Nebraska in 1938, this program proved so successful in eliminat ing anti-social conditions where they were associated with the sale of beer that it was adopted last year in Alabama, Kansas, TJaine, Tennessee, North Carolina, Mississippi, Oklahoma and West Virginia. The movement is being spon sored by the United Brewers In dustrial Foundation, representing brewers in all sections of the country. It is designed to protect an industry which contributes a million dollars a day in taxes, utilizes the products of three million acres of farm land annual ly and helps provide employment for a million people, from the ir- re.sponsible actions of a small number of law-violating dealers. The plan consists of .systematic investigations of retail outlets, and prompt appeals to the con stituted authorities for revoca tion of the licenses of persistent law violators. Tlie program in each state is admini.stered by a Stale Director selected from outside the indus try. Among these Directors are a former Congressman, two form- e;' State Senators, a former Unit ed States Attorney and two for mer Assistant UnHed States At torneys, two former State Alco holic Beverage Board Administra tors, and two former Assistant A ttorneys-General. and office on Tenth street.
