STATE ISN’T GOING IN COAL BUSINESS But Purchase of Moore County Coal Field Will Serve To Advantage Daily Di 'patch Borens, In the Sir Walter Hotel. BY J C. MASKEBVILL. Raleigh, Aug. 2. —The State of North Carolina has no intention of go ing into the coal business, even though it has just purchased a farm in Moore county with some million or more tons of coal under it, State offi cials said here today. On the other hand, if the next legislature should cut budgets to the point where the State could no longer afford to spend $750,000 a year for coal, most of this amount going to West Virginia cal mines and to the railroads for haul ing it, it could still manage to keep the inmates of its institutions warm with this Moore county coal, it is ad mitted. There are no plans being made now for either the mining or use of this coal, so far as can be learned. But .it is admitted that the time may come when this coal may come in handy either for actual use in State institu tions or as an ace up the sleeve of the State in dealing with coal companies .if and when coal prices ever get down on a competative basis again. At the present time all coal prices are vir (Continued on Page Three) i King George was aboard the royal yacht at Cowes when he was notified of the passing of von Hindenburg.

Daily Dispatch Bntrdl BY J. C. BASKERVILL Raleigh Aug. 2. —There is still con siderable discussion here as to whether the State convention of the North arolina Young Democratic Clubs, meeting in Asheville last week, acted wisely in adopting the resolu tion advocating a liquor control plan rather than the present system of so called State prohibition. There are some who still fear the Young Demo crats acted too hastily and that they should not have adopted any resolu tion dealing with prohibition or the liquor problem.
