R. DUNNAGAN RALEIGH, July 11 Young Dem ocrats of North Carolina would not be quieted, took the bits in their, teeth at Wrightsville Beach Satur day and adopted, with not more than half a dozen dissenting votes, a res olution calling for repeal of the 18th Amendment, favoring temperance and against the open saloon, alter killing, with less than a dozen favor orable votes, an amendment to seek repeal of the North Carolina liquor law, the Turlington act. The resolution, adopted by accla. mation, but representing hours of work to produce a suitable not too strong; not too weak, resolution, as follows: "Whereas, national prohibition has failed utterly in that it has fostered mypocrisy, invites corruptions, sup ports crime and makes a mockery of the cause of temperance, and, "Whereas, the action of the State of North Carolina with reference to repeal will be determined by a vote of the people in a non-partisan elec tion in November, 1933J. "Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Young Democrats of North Carolina in convention assembled, recognizing the right of every citizen to vote for or against repeal without regard to party affiliation, record the vote of this convention in favor of repeal of the 18th amendment. Fur ther, that we urge the enactment of such measures as will actually pro mote temperance and effectively pre vent the return of the saloon." Mrs. May Thompson Evans, High Point, for two years vicepresident, was elected president of the organi zation, unanimously after Tom Banks Raleigh, withdrew after balloting started, Doyle Alley, Waynesville, was elected vice-president; John Rod man, Washington, N. C. secretary, Kern Carlton, Salisbury; treasurer, J. Dewey Dorsett, retiring president, national committeeman, and Mrs. Lu la Martin Mclver Scott, Greensboro, national committeewoman. Assistant Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring, of Kansas, lauded the Young Democrats and Tyre Taylor, national founder, and the "new deal" administratoin of President Roose velt. Miss Isabel Ferguson, Salem Col lege teacher, keynoter, delved into history to get a basis for the new or der, changed from "let the buyer be ware" to "let the seller beware." Others spoke briefly, but largely on repeal and the election. The . lone voice in oposition to putting the Young Democrats on record regard ing repeal was smothered in a noise of protest after a few words had been said. At the night banquet, former Gov ernor Gardner and the new president, Mrs. Evans, were the un-programmed speakers, both delivering interesting and thoughtful talks. Governor Gard ner lauded the Roosevelt courage and told of results of his revolution ary program. Governor Ehringhaus spoke briefly, noting among other things that the action of the 1933 General Assembly in balancing the State budget will bring this State out of the ruts and place her on solid ground. Senator Reynolds launched his campaign for repeal of the 18th amendment. (Continued on page eight) DRINKERS FIGURE NATIONAL GUARD IN COURT TRIALS!

So great a shake up in the opera tions of the administration was caus ed that the regional office will be un able to prepare an adequate montly report for this month until two or three more weeks have elapsed, said the manager. All available members of the regional offices staff have been assigned to the work of reviewing the individual veteran's files, and no other work except that which i3 of an emergency nature is being done for the present. In the individual offices at the ad ministration's quarters in the Johns ton building, great stacks of these files are piled on tables, desks and the floor. Each of these files is more than one inch in thickness and each contains all the correspondence and official records dealing with the in dividual veteran's case. The process of review necessitates studying each of these papers and is slow, tedious work. Mr. Pittman said his office staff is endeavoring to complete this work before the first of August so veter ans entitled to receive checks from the federal government will be listed in time for the checks to be mailed out early in August. "If the checks are delayed, that will bring another flood of correspondence inquiring a bout the individual veteran s pros pects of receiving a check," said the manager In only a few exceptional cases are veterans being called up for physical examination.

This apparently helped some, but the crop will nevertheless be somewhat tardy. Farm Agent Hugh Overstreet told a Newws reporter this week that the present indications point to the fact that the producers will have an ex cellent crop of late melons. One broker paid a Carteret grower twen ty cents each for a truck load of melons right in the field where they were grown. It is said that the melon shipments by truck, rail and boat will get under way in earnest early next week and by Friday and Saturday large shipments will be leaving Car teret daily for northern markets. Rescue Raleigh Young Ladies From Atlantic REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Salie V. Banks and husband to Ash ton D. Bruton, 1 lot Morehead City, for $100. The 1933 school law, section 21, provides: "That the State School Commission in cooperation with the Director of Local Government shall cause an audit of all school funds State, county and district and "the cost shall be prorated and the law apply to 1932-33. Further, it provid es in Section 35 that "All public, public-local or private laws and claus es of laws in conflict with this act, to the extent of such conflict only, are hereby repealed." The view is expressed that since the new law specifies the Director of Local Government and repeals con flicting laws, that thes tatute which ' held that the State Auditor audit the funds is repealed. However, Mr. Brum mitt has held to the contrary, and his opinions are supposed to stand unless or until the State Supreme Court rules on the point in question. When State lands pass into the hands of the federal government and become National Forests, the State has no authority to require licenses for hunting and fishing on such lands, the solicitor of the U.

Long terms can be had on such loans will make it easier to re pay the loans. The five closed banks in Carteret county have mortgages on considerable farm property.
