Friday, June 7, 1935. THE PILOT, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Page ThrM Wine Law Held Legal by Attorney General That I*roduced in State May Be Sold Here but None Imported North Carolina’s wine law is legal and constitutional, even to that part of it which limits the wines to "do mestic” wines, and prevents the ship ment of wines into this state from other states. Attorney General A. A. F. Seawell holds in an opinion on the new law. Eyen though grapes are grown in the state, and the juice pressed out and shipped elsewhere for fermentation, the wine thus produc ed cannot be legally shipped back into the state and sold, in the Attor ney General’s opinion. He raises the question of whether the General Assembly could delegate to county commissioners the power to prevent the sale of wine in their counties, but leans to the belief that this would be held valid. He cites that the law allows producers and whole- saleru to sell to retailers and hotels, but that no specific authority is giv en the latter to sell or retail. How ever, he thinks retailers and hotels can sell at retail, in that the law specifies that the wine; is to be han dled and regulated as a food. Commissioner of Agriculture W. A. Graham is planning to set up rules and regulations governing the opera tion of winneries and these, approv ed by the Governor, will have the ef fect of law. They will probably deal with health and sanitation largely. He does not have to enforce these rules, but local peace officers see to their enforcement.

Mr. Burt’s talk dealt with the con servation of scenic beauty and pres- ei'vation of the natural beauty of North Carolina. He declared fhat no state in the Union had the variety of attractions for the tourist that North Carolina possessed, yet the state seems to care le.ss and to be les en- thusiatic about the thing which it own than any other. “The western part of North Caro lina has the most beautiful natural scenery of.,^any section east of the Rocky Mountains. Then there is an area of great crop land with the fine winter climate of the Sandhills .sand wiched between. To the east are thf coastal country and the ocean. North Carolina is the most blessed of al> states and we do not take care of what we have nor show it in its best advantage,” Mr. Burt declared. .-\lipejil» to Women He urged the women to take some definite action about beautification of the highways, not alone for the aesthetic value but for the practical value in attracting people into North Carolina. He declared that rules must be made governing the use of the highways and said the law required the Highway Commission to spend part of its income in planting the roadsides. Mrs, Cole L. Nichols presided at the Federation meeting, held in the Carolina theatre. W. H. Currie, chair man of the Moore County Board of Commissioiiers, and Mrs. W. J.

Reports from the county councils were received from county presidents, each of whom described the activi ties of their home demonstration clubs for the past year. Mrs. Estelle T. Smith, district home agent, introduced the prominent visi tors and the women of the various counties, Montgomery county won the attendance prize for the most club memL-.-rs traveling the greatest dis tance to attend. Miss Flora Macdon ald, Moore county home agent, ar ranged the meeting in co-operation with the officers of her county coun cil. Health and school officials are urging the people of the state to “do it now,” that matter of getting appli cations in for health, sanitary, civic, school and other projects they want to get under way with PWA funds. Loans are now to be made and 45 per cent of the cost is to be a grant, the balance to bear only 3 per cent interest. Both grant and rate have been improved, and many new pro jects are expected to he built under the new provisions. North Carolina’s financial and credit status is as good now as it has ever been, piobably better. Governor Ehringhaus said as a result of the trip he and State Treasurer Charles M, Johnson made to New York on State bonds. The State is planning to fund the balance of its deficit and also funds allowed institutions for permanent improvements over several years, both of which have oeen car ried in the highway fund. The bonds, nearly $4,000,000 of them, will prob ably be sold soon, as officials think they can get an interest rate of 3 1.2 pei cert, or even lower. North Caro- liiia IS ace high with bond buyers. KKLATHE OF SLVI.V M.\N DK.VWS N.X.MKS FOK Jl'RY For the first time in the annals of court history in Moore county, so far as is known, the jury for a murder i case tried last week in Superior Court ' was drawn by a near relatives of the slain man. It happened in this way: When the court was ready to pro ceed with the trial of John Hackney, charged with the fatal shooting of Park Brewer, the sheriff brought in a boy to draw the jury. The judge in quired as to his age and it was found that he was eleven years old, one year above the maximum age for this service. The sheriff then spied a tinj girl in the court room and asked her to perform the task of drawing the name.s, all unaware of the fact that the child was the daughter of Brew er's sister, as it was later learned, Hackney was convicted of second de- ' glee nuu der and sentenced to serve from ten to twelve years in State's Prison, Other unusual features of the kill, ing were that the gun was fired over the shoulder of Bi’ewer’s octogenarian 'grandmother as she sat near the door- I way of her home, Hackney standing I inside the room, and that her son-in. ' law. Brewer’s uncle, a second occu pant of the porch, wa.s an eye wit ness. (w The World War Veterans L*an Fund of $2,500,000, established in 1927 by the General Assembly as a means of aiding veterans to own their homes, is in a deplorable condi tion as a result of many delinquencies, A check shows that 1,314 loans have been made of $3,018,800. and of these 280 have been foreclosed and more than 400 are now delinquent in re payments. Of the loans, 141 have been paid back in full. Loans were stopped two years ago because no funds were available for loans to for mer service men seeking them.

Former meetings were in Raleigh, Wrightsville Beach and Asheville. D, Doyle Alley, Waynes- ville, is president. Belief now is that Mrs. Bessie Phoenix, Wake county president, will be State president. The east and west got into a snarl at the last meeting and the west won. The winners, with larger voting clubs, will probably allow the east to have the president next time.
