It is supposed to have o iginated in Brazil or Peru, and to have been carried to Africa by early explorers and missiona ries, but peanuts were known as early as 1150 B. C. They wer: brought to this country by the slave traders in the ea ly Colonial Days, and used as a food for the slaves while on shipboard, as they were cheap and of high food value. Peanuts were rot extensively used until after the Civil War. It is said that the Union Army carried peanuts with them from the South when they went back home.

They were la ter very glad they made the change. The peanut, began its career as anational food when P. T. Barnum introduced it as a part of the cir cus. For years the only place in which peanuts we e found was the circus, ball games, and the like. No one ate peanuts for their food value, but it was considered the sporty thing to do, and the tasty flavor of peanuts soon won popu larity. Later when their nutritive value became known, they came into use as a household food. There are nine distinct vaiietie: of peanuts grown in the United States, the p incipal being th.' Jumbo, Bunch, and Runner, the large peanut grown mostly in Vir ginia, North Carolina and Tennes see; the Spanish, the small round nut grown mostly inthe Southen States of Georgia, Alabama, OWa-1 homa and Texas.

Fulfilling A Pledge On May 18, 1939, when the Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee was formed, a definite and sincere promise was made to the public. We pledged the beer industry's aid to law-enforcement agencies to the end that retail beer dealers operate lawfully and in the public interest. The committee believes its pledge has been ful filled. During the past 1 7 months it has aided the authorities in ridding the state of 131 unde sirable beer outlets 107 by revocation, one by surrender and 23 by Tefusal to renew licenses.
