JUNE TERM JURORS DRAWN
With a certified copy of the Local
Control Liquor Bill on the chairman's
desk for study, and a large group
(mostly wets or damps) present urg
ing a referendum in this county,
Carteret's Board of Commissioners in
regular meeting Monday deferred
the calling of an election until rep
resentative citizens from all sections
(wets-drys) express their opinion.
They will have this opportunity next
Monday, May 20, at a special meet
ing of the Board.
The commissioners did not want
to make either move until they had
heard from both sides ... It is gen
erally conceded that either, move will
create ill feelings, from the wets if
it is not called, from the drys if it is.
It will take a majority vote of the
commissioners to call the election.
It seems from observations of the
daily press that even if the election
is called and should Carteret and oth
er counties in Eastern Carolina vote
for legalizing the sale of liquor that
it may not become a reality, because
some think the Local Control Bill
would be unconstitutional.
The Beaufort News is taking
no stand, wet or dry in this pro
posed election. Judging from
coverage of police, recorder's
and superior courts locally the
Beaufort News does asume that
it is possible to get liquor in this
county whether it is legal or
not. Our Mailbox department
is open for short and intelligent
opinions regarding the present
liquor situation or any propos
ed situations.
The high spot of the Commission
ers meeting was the Local Control
Liquor Bill. During the afternoon
session another exciting event occur
red, but it was of a personal, not
public nature, so the Beaufort News
refrains from publishing same. In
June a two week's term of Superior
Court will be in session here. Com
missioners on Monday drew the jur
ors at this meeting and the names
follow this story.

SEAWELL GIVES
NO BOOZE RULE
Attorney General A. A. F.
Seawell announced in Raleigh
yesterday that he would not rule
on the constitutionality of the
local bills by w"hich the late
Legislature authorized the sale
of liquor in 18 counties, on the
condition the counties voted
wet.
"As the Supreme Court un
doubtedly will be asked to settle
the question within a very short
time, which ever way I might
rule, I think it -would be presum
ptious of me to say how I think
they will deside," explained Mr.
Seawell.

It Would Be Impossible
That Once Protected
A few davs aeo the editor of the I
Beaufort News inserted a classified
ad in this newspaper asking for in
formation about cannons and mor
ters which were once on hand at
Fort Macon. This was done with
the thought in view that possibly a
few of the guns might be in exis
tence somewhere today and that
probably arrangements could be
made to have them replaced ai meir
original location, adding interest to
this historical old fort we are for
tunate in having across the harbor
from Beaufort.
But now we have been informed
that it would be impossible to locate
and replace the specific guns which
were formerly on hand at Fort Mac
