Virginia Dare Stone Revealed President of Brenau College Re veal* Stone Which Bears Names Of Virginia Dare's Father and 15 Others Presumably Slain By Indians In 1501. Gainsville. Ga., June 22. ? The roughly-carved lettering of a gran ite slab that may prove to be the gravestone of Virginia Dare, first white child born in America, was disclosed today by Dr. H. J. > Pearce, president of Brenau Col lege. In addition to Virginia Dare the stone bears the names of her fa ther, Ananias Dare, and of 15 oth ers presumably murdered by In dians in 1591, four years after they set foot an the new world. It Is signted witlrthe name of Elean or Dare, motiher of Virginia. ' Dr. Pearce said that if the au thenticity of this and a companion stone now in Brenau College mu seum can be established, the mys tery of Sir Walter Raleigh's famed "Lost Colony" will be near solu tion. . ( One stone was found on the bank of the Chowan river near Edenfcon, N. C., by a tourist. Its inscription purports to be a mes sage from Eleanor Dare to her fa ther, Governor John White, say ing savages bad slain all but sev en of the colonists} It tells of the burial of seventeen on a hill and " refers to a stone at t?he burial site listing the dead. Governor White had gone back to England for supplies soon after placing the colony in Roanoke Is land at Raleigh's behest in 1587. European wars delayed his return and when he sailed back four years later the colonists were gone and were never seen again by white men. The Brenau president emphasiz ed tihat the college makes no claims for the stones but is so im pressed by their potential value to history that excavations will be undertaken soon in the vicinity where the second was found. LET'S STOP THIS NEED LESS SACRIFICE This mass slaughter an Inde pendence Day can be stopped by each and everyone of us by using caution and commoli sense. The things that cause these tragedies are things we can control ? haste, selfishness, thoughtlessness and the desire to show off, on the streets and highways. I call on the people of North Carolina and the people coming into our State to stop t'his mid suitimer massacre by- signing a new Declaration of Independence, independence from annual tribute of many of Nbrth Carolinians; needlessly sacrificed, independence from the kind of celebration that leaves us the dead, the sightless and the suffering. I call on t'he public to remem ber that it is not only ironic, but cruel to celebrate the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness by bringing about death, dis ability and tragedy. Let's not? turn a happy holiday season into a period of wholesale tragedy. Let's be alive on the FIFTH. REVIVAL AT ROCK SPRINGS The TIMES is requested to State that Rev. John Edwards will be at Rock Spring Baptist Church for a series of revival serv ices beginning Monday night, July 3rd and the public is cordially invited to attend.

With the in stitution of license revocation pro ceedings on June 20 against sev eral Mecklenburg county retailers; of malt beverages, law-flouting re tail beer outilets were served with | a stern warniug by the Brewers | and North Carolina Beer Distribu-j tors Committee, pledged to a "close-up or clean-up campaign." Col. Edgar H. Buin, State Direc tor, appeared before the Mecklen burg board of county commission ers to request that, the surrender! of three licenses be ordered. In all instances, licensees had recent ly been convicted in the courts | of law violations. Hugh Mi Auley. solicitor of the Mecklenburg Coun i ty Court, appeared with Col. Bain I to certify to the court- records uad I to urge revocation. At the conclusion of evidence, j the board instructed Sherriff Mack i Riley to summons the licensees to j appear the following week, "to Ishow cause why their licenses should nit be revoked." Despite Mie fact tiiat the num ber of licensees involved In the Charlotte proceedings was small, law-enforcement officials describ ed the action as "highly Import ant," in view of the fact that it marked the first effort of t-he dis tributors organization in its state wide self-regulatory campaign. Closely associated with the dis tributors is the United Brewers Industrial Foundation. whose membership is composed of many of the nation's brewers, both large and small. Establishments whose conduct is offensive to public opinion will i constitute the target, for proceed- ] ings similar to those recently I launched in Mecklenburg, which j will be instituted on a statewide j i "basis. Members in theteu districts of the organization have been ap prised of committee plans at or ganization meetings before which Col. Bain has appeared. Extension of the initial activi ! ties, explained Cot. -Bain, will be j | completed as rapidly as possible. I TERMITES Are one of the most destructive small pesL-* .known.

H\ Colonel Bain T akes Command ! Brewers and Distributors Inaugurate North Carolina "Clean-Up or Close-Up" Campaign. State and Local Enforcement Heads Endorse Plan. ? IN NORTH CAROLINA, as in marfy , other states, a few retail beer outlets which flout the law, often bring dis credit upon the entire business. r Brewers and distributors are convinced that this business can and should al ways be conducted properly and in full conformity with the law, and they are determined that this shall be the case in North Carolina. Consequently, we, the undersigned, re cently formed the Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee which, acting in close cooperation with state and local enforcement bodies, ha3 launched a vigorous cooperative cam paign to rid the state of those few beer outlets which persist in disregarding both the law and the public. In plain words, we refuse any longer to tolerate outlets which use their beer licenses as a "cover-up" for flagrant bootlegging operations; which sell to minors or otherwise violate the law and their license privileges. With the brew ers, our Committee includes wholesalers who distribute approximately ninety per cent of the beer sold in North Carolina. And we also have the wholehearted sup port of the large majority of our re spectable and law-abiding retailers. Furthermore, duly constituted enforce ment officiita have approved our objec tives and promised their help. And ACTION is certain now that Attorney General McMullan has declared it is the duty of municipal and county boards, on request for revocation of malt beverage licenses, to hold hearings. Colonei Edgar H. Bain, of Goldsboro, ? N. C., has been appointed by the Com- ~ mittee to direct its activities. "Good Conduct" Committees of local beer distributors, each headed by a chairman, have been set up in ten dis tricts of the state for close cooperation with law enforcement officers, and with our own Executive Committee, in eradi cating objectionable places of business. Established _ on a permanent basis, our Brewers and North Carolina Beer Dis tributors Committee seeks to protect the legitimate beer business in North Caro lina from the depredations of a small and irresponsible minority, and to per forms worthwhile service to the public. The Committee is sponsored by the United Brewers Industrial Foundation, a national organization of brewers. The Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee is convinced that its work is in the public interest. Therefore, we respectfully solicit your cooperation with our efforts. COL. EDGAR H. BAIN State Director Colonel Bain recently resigned from the State Senate to take over the directorship of our Committee. He Is a World War veteran, dccorated with the Dis tinguished Service Cross and the Silver Star. An official of the U. S. Army Reserve Officers Corps, he Is well-known through out the State as a militant cru sader for law enforcement.
