SENATOR WILLIAM H. SMATHERS
pator Smathers Being
requently Mentioned As
Vice-President Nominee
Two local bills wore introduced
over thy week bv Representative
Glenn Palmer for Haywood Counlv.
One on Monday, would make it
unlawful for any person to sell wine,
beer, ale, larger beci or other fer
mented or brewed beverages, within
three hundred yards of the Haywood
County Hospital in Wavnesville.
The second bill would repeal the
bill known locally as the "Cube liquor
bill."
The bill, passed m the closing
minutes of the 1937 legislature, has
been the subject of much comment,
and when petitions were presented to
the board of elections last fall asking
for an election on ARC liquor stores
in Haywood, the Cabe bill was the
cause of much controversy, and the
matter went into court, and then to
the supreme court.
The Cabe bill provided that an ABC
liquor store could he established in
either Waynesville or Roaverdam
townships if either ot the townships
voted for the stores, regardless ot
the vote in the remainder of the
county.
Word from K.ileigh gives every in
dication that the rainier measure will
pass, and. repeal the C abe bill, whun
would then put Haywood with an in
individual liquor law .

Senator Cogburn Is
Opposed To Increase
Taxes On Gasoline
Would Be Futile To Attempt To
Legislate Measure For Scotts
Cree's Annexation
Senator Chester A. Cogburn is of
the opinion that motorists are already
taxed out of proportion to taxes on
other classes, and that reason, is op
posed to the proposal to increase the
present gasoline tax, he set forth
in a letter to The Mountaineer.
"I have received a number of tele
grams and letters asking me to op
pose any increase of taxes on gaso
line and gasoline pumps. I am op
posed to any increase in this tax, as
I feel that the motorists of North

Haywood County To
Support Junaluska
Summer School
The county board of commissioners
at their meeting held here on Mon
day, voted to contribute $200 to the
Junaluska Summer school, m continu
ation of the co-operation of the coun
ty with the school, since its estab
lishment some few years ago.
Most of the day's session was spent
in handling routine work dealing to
a large extent with tax adjustment
cases and indigent cases, the latter
brought to the attention of the board
by the welfare department and va
rious individuals.
Thieves Prepare Tasty Lunch
Before Robbing Local Store
Burglars have a way of making
themselves very much at home on
one's premises this fact can be
verified by W. A. Bradley whose
store was entered recently by
one and maybe three persons
who went about helping them
selves to whatever they happen
ed to fancy.
They had attempted to break
the lock on the door finding
themselves no match to deal With
its intricacies, resorted to break
ing a front window, through
which they made their entry.
Here and there about the place
were signs of articles missing
three pairs of shoes were taken,
clothes and a midnight lunch
was evidently enjoyed with much
relish. The intruders seem to J
have had a craving for tomatoes,
cheese, and mayonnaise dressing,
presumably made into sandwich-,
es.
As yet the thieves have not
been identified, but the search is
on. ''.."''..''..
But even with all their good
luck of finding so many things
to their liking one item, they no
doubt counted on taking with .
them was a bit of cold cash .
and they had to leave without one
red cent as the management of1
the store never leaves any money
in the place overnight.
