BV J. c. BASKERVILL.
Raleigh, May 13. —Liquor still is the
dominant question in North Carolina,
just as it was when the legislature
finally adjourned Saturday* after last
minute efforts by Governor J. C. B.
Ehringhaus to bring about a comprom
ise between the wet and dry forces
in both houses failed. Some think that
the liquor question is now more of
an issue than it was before the Gen
eral Assembly adjourned, as a result
of the enactment of the local laws
which will permit 17 counties and two
townships in another to hold elections
on whether county liquor stores and
county liquor control systems shall be
set up. The prevailing opinion here is
that the present laws permitting these
17 1-2 counties to legalize the sale of
liquor in North Carolina providing a
majority of the people in these coun
ties vote for the county sale and con
trol plan, is much worse both for the
counties involved and the State as a
whole than if the General Assembly
had passed the Day liquor control
plan, which would have permitted all
of the 100 counties to vote on wheth
er they wanted to have Slate liquor
stores and State control.
If this plan does not work out, how.
ever, and if the other 82 1-2 counties
are displeased, the responsibility rests
squarely upon the shoulders of the
drys in the Senate who refused to
compromise and thus refused to re
consider the Day bill and make pos
sible a Statewide referendum by
counties and a Statewide liquor stores
and liquor control system from which
the State would derive some revenue.

BY J. C. BASKERVILL.
Raleigh, May 13—-A special session
of the eneral Assembly within 60 to
00 days to enact a Statewide liquor
stores and liquor control law as a
substitute for the patchwork liquor
laws enacted by the session which ad
journed Saturday, which permits only
17 counties and iwo townships in an
other to hold elections to determine
whether or not they shall establish
county liquor control systems and
county liquor stores, is now regarded
as likely in political circles here. It
is no secret that Governor J. C. B.
Ehringhaus does not like what the
General Assembly finally did, that he
made a fifty-ninth minute effort to
bring about a compromise between the
wets and the drys in the general as
sembly just before it adjourned Sat
urday and tried to persuade its mem
bers to come back this week to work
out some sort of Statewide plan to
which both factions would agree. It
is also well known that. Cale K. Bur
gess, who sat in on these last-minute
conferences in the governor’s office
with members of the Senate and
House refused to budge an inch or
agree to any sort of contpromise.'with
the result that the’ General Assembly
left the present laws on the statute
books and adjourned.
But a very definite reaction to the
enactment of these laws permitting
only 17 1-2 of the State’s 100 counties
legalize the sale of liquor has already
to vote on whether or not they shall
set in on the part of other counties
that want the right to vote on this
question but which was denied them.
There is also a growing conviction
among the more liberal-minded drys.
as well as among the wets, that if any
liquor is to be sold in North Carolina
it should be under State control and
regulation and from State liquor stores
rather than from county liquor store
under county control. For many be
lieve that it will be next to impossible
to keep the county stores and county
control boards out of politics. There
is also a growing conviction that con

It is not assumed, indeed, that the
