A. Sinclair declined to grant injunctive relief to The Vending Machine Company of Fay etteville, ruling that the attorney- general of North Carolina, the sher iff of Cumberland county and the chief of police of Fayetteville have the right to enforce the 1937 Anti slot Machine law against evcvy type of machine except those known as “Type 12.” This was the latest development in the chain of events precipitated early in 1937 when the Rev. A. J. Mc- Kelway of Pinehurst fired the open ing blast against the evils of slot mactiines through the columns of The Pilot and which were carried on by lo cal law enforcement agencies and Congressional reprt^sentativqs until the new anti-slot machine law was passed and the Fayetteville concern removed its machines from this and other territories in the State to avoid the threatened confiscation of any of their property. The Vending Machine Company, meantime, filed a petition for an in junction against the enforcement of the law as a challenge of its consti tutionality, but .Tudge Sinclair's rul ing holds the law constitutional and denies the prayer for an injunction.

In an all-day celebration the town asseverated to a cockeyed cos mos that it feels good over what it has. It put on a pageant of progress in which the Roosevelt horse and buggy age looked post-millennarian by con trast with the antediluvian ox cart which dragged over the dusty foot paths that went in the nineties for roads. Then the buildings were tor mally given and taken, the visitorsi were dined, the greasy pig pursued and the day danced out in municipal hall. It was an upper Moore celebration in which the greater portion of the 2,000 population of Hemp participat- pd. Census takers for the government and registrars for the elections do not give Hemp any 2,000, but the in dustries do and they w'ere there Sat urday. The morning exercises conflict ed somewhat with farming operations, but in the afternoon the folks went, to town. One of the modern acts in which Hemp revels is the election of Tuesday, July 21. That day the voters were asked to ratify bond issues of $6,000 for water and $4,000 for sewer construction. By 95 to 7 it was order ed in the referendum. And thus Hemp became the newest town in the UniT- ed States, so they say. The railroad station, the talc mine. (Please turn to page four) Frank M.
