Ex-Judge Brack to Manage for i McAdoo Washington, July 26.—A fart re vealed here yesterday of much inter cut to Tar Heels ia that at a confer, ence here this week ex-Judge Walter E. Brock, of Winston-Salrm. as man ager, and Prank A. Hampton secre tary to Senator Simmons, as associate manager, have been designated to j handle the presidential candidacy of Hon. Willaim C. McAdno In North Carolina. Aa Brock and Hampton are both trusted lieutenants of Senator Stas ia ona, thia^ia taken to mean that Sen ator Simmons, who haa been a close friead of McAdoo for many years, will favor the former secretary of the treaaury for president, and that North Carolina will probably support Mc Adoo. Hog* Near Low—t Price ia 10 Yoara Under Tariff /(From Dem. NaUeaal Committee.) Hogs of an average weight of 24* pouiyb sold in Chicago daring the week of June 25-30, at 16.96 a hundred weight, compared with an average of $».24 for June. 1M1. and «1S for June, 1920. The price in June, thia yeer, was almost the lowest recorded in e la 1N0 live swine and perk prod ucts wen admitted free of duty. In 1921 tfce Republicans Imposed a heavy traiff on all livestock, including hogs, and on meata, fresh and cured. For the last ten months there haa been a duty of 60 cents a hundred pounds in live kogs (equal to about *2 par ani mal) of 76 cents a hundredweight on freah pork, and of 2 centa a pound on "bacon, hams, ahouldera, and other pork, prepared or preserved." While the Republican tariff h been of no aaaiatance to the agricul tural producers of the country it haa increased their coat of living by tax ing everything they require to clothe themselves, baild, repair and furnish their homes, cultivate their lands, and provide for their health and comfort.

Hevea Mew Iowa Lawa Iowa—Seven new prohibition law* were enacted by the Iowa Legialature, which adjourned April 27. A num mary of them follows: Bill* defining the aale of liquor that rauaes fatal reault* a* manslaughter; declaring illegal the poaaeaaion of ma terial* with which to make liquor; ex tending search and seixure law* te cover theae materials; makin? the driving of a motor car while intox icated subject to a penalty of (llMM fine or one year in pri«on; applying a special penalty for the misdemeanor of furnishing liquor to a minor;pro viding for the confiscation of vehi cle* used to transport liquor, and tie fining any peraon twice convicted of liquor crime* aa a persistent violator. Kansas—When the law maker* of Kama* 40 yeari ago nuctod the firm prohibitory law they did not antici pate that the control of iweonahineTs' would ever become a I tat* probleaa. Nor in later years when th« prohibi tory laws were tightened up by the "bone dry" and other enactments, did they contemplate any "moonshine" menace. So it befell the IMS Kanaas Legislature to place an "snti-moon shhie" law on the statute book*. This law provides a penalty of six months in Jail and a fine of 1600 for anyone found guilty of having a still hi his possession. Heretofore the mere poaoeasion of g still was not neceaaarfly ividanw of1 guilt; It waa neceaaary to prove traf ficking in liquor. It waa necessary that the officers produce aa evidence the liquor "sold, bartered or |iran away." Minnesota Meat Drastic Minnesota—With the passage of amendment* by the IMS Legislature to prohibition laws in effect, Minne sota stand* out pre-eminently in hav ing the moat drastic prohibition law* of any state in the Union.

It also adopted a clause per mitting each physician in the State to have five gallons of liquor a year for prescription use. Ohio—Two prohibition bills were passed by the Ohio Legislature. One bit! classifies a* second degree murder the act of fumiahing liquor which causes fatal results, makes the manufacture of distilled liquor a fel ony, makes the soliciting of orders for liquor a felony, and the solicitor equally guilty with the person selling K* The other enacts into the state laws Ihe federal "padlock" clause. This ^uld permit Ohio courts to order locked up for a period of not mom than one year premises declared to be nuisances because of the manufac ture or sale thereon of intoxicating liquor. Oklahoma—Prohibition Legislation came up early in the Ninth Oklakc*** Legislature. Two dry laws were en acted. The first declares that any person who sells, gives away or other wise furnishes any liquor, preparation or compound for beverage purpooes which causes fatal results, shall be guilty of murder. The second bus the manufacture of distilling appara tus except by persons properly licens ed by federal authorities; bars the making of liquor or any maah, wort or wash; declares the liquor-Risking apparatus m any building or inrlosure to ha prima lack nMmtt against tka per son ia actual poosfolon of the build in* or inrioovre, and fires the penalty for violation at $1*0 to INN and one to ton years. South Dakota—The IMS session of the South Dakota Legislator* action either for or against Texgs prohibition law*, and paseed by the recent seaaion of the Legislature, tisve been approved by Governor Neff One Mil permits removal of county officers for one offense of intoxica tion. Under previous lavs, removal required conviction on three counts. The other bill requires county offi cers who seise liquor to make tripli cate reports of the amount, one copy going to the persons accused of xcssiag the liquor, the second to the county clerk, and the third to bo re tained by the sheriff.
