Now, is liquor discussion more
important than plans for a rural

improvement of country roads?
Does it mean more to the progress
of the State than higher retirement
pay for the State's 25,000 teachers?
But liquor probably consumed
more time at the recent conven
tion, than education, roads, labor,
finances, health, veterans, and all
the other worthwhile matters com

WILLIAMSON Speaking of al
cohol, Carl Williamson of Raleigh,
was last week reappointed to head
Alcoholic Beverage Control in this
State. There had been some doubt
as to whether Governor R. Gregg
Cherry would give Mr. Williamson
the place anew, for this appoint
ment had been standing "idle" for
a few weeks.
Meantime, Williamson, who was
given the place under Broughton,
had been sweating it out . . . wait
ing, hoping, not knowing when his
$6,000 per annum position would
end for him.
Gov. Cherry is known for his
sweating tactics . . .he likes to
see them squirm. Fact of the
matter is, the liquor interests like
Williamson, and it is reported they
went down the line for him solid
. . . and virtually on their knees.
Cherry decided if they wanted
Carl, they could have him ... so
another J. M. Broughton stalwart
stays on the job . . . and thus we
see that JMB is now batting about
.800 with his appointees in the
Cherry administration.
It is interesting to watch Brough
ton holdovers converge on other
successful reappointees for con
gratulations when the good news
is announced .

UNEMPLOYMENT Col. A. L.
Fletcher is retiring as chairman of
the Unemployment Compensation
Commission . . . and Governor
Cherry has offered this position to
at least two rather prominent North
Carolinians, but they turned it
down. Fuller Martin has been
named acting chairman but the
job isn't yet considered filled . . .
and there was a hint lat week that
the place might go to John Harden,
Cherry's secretary, who knows very
little about unemployment, being
a good newspaperman, but might
be interested in the compensation.
Fletcher is taking the Veterans
Administration job ... at re
duced compensation . . . that Cale
Burgess, Raleigh attorney and dry
leader, had held for less than a
year. Nobody seems to know why
Burgess quit.
EXCHANGE Rivers Johnson of
Warsaw, veteran legislator and a
wetter-than-wet, bested bone-dry
Josephus Daniels in an exchange of
remarks before the platform com
mittee at the Democratic Conven
tion last week. Johnson told Dan
iels point-blank that he is against
a State referendum on whiskey
. . . that he would vote against it
in the next Legislature.
Daniels asked Johnson if he
didn't think liquor should be looked
at on a Statewide basis . . . like
roads and schools. Well, Johnson
came back, roads and schools im
provements were never put to a
State vote, why should whiskey be?
Johnson replied that he is a fol
lower of Wilsonian democracy:
local rights and son on. . . If Dan
iels was able to reply to Johnson's
position, his answers was smother
ed in further alcoholic conversa
tion.
But here is what keeps the wets
scared to death: 80 per cent of
this State's white population, the
voting strength, lies west of Ral
eigh . . . and there isn't an ABC
store west of Durham.
New Mexico, fourth state in size
in the nation, ranks 42nd In population.
Year-Round State
Fair Being Sought
A movement w hich may result in
a year-round exhibit of the Slate's
resources began here with a meet
ing of the Board of Agriculutre
with agricultural leaders interested
in the State fair.
The meeting was called by Gov
ernor Cherry, at whose suggestion
the group decided upon the ap
pointment of an executive commit
tee to investigate the project.
Agriculture Commissioner W. Kerr
Scott was named chairman of the
committee, and ho will appoint the
other members.
Cherry spoke in favor of the
proposal, pointing out that it must
be achieved over a period of years,
with the present Stale lair installa
tions as a nucleus.
U. B. Blalock, of Wadcsboro, who
was chairman of the public build
ings committee in the liM.r House
of Representatives, said a recom
mendation for new State fair build
ings wouM be made in the next
General Assembly.
Dr. J. S. Norton, of Shelby, State
fair manager, said the fair, the
first since 1941, would definitely
be held this year. The time of the
exposition, October 14-19, had al
ready been set. Facilities are not
adequate, he said, but "we'll do the
best we can."
Under the plan discussed, the
fairgrounds would be used the
year-round to house exhibits of
the State's industries, agriculture,
minerals, etc. Sentiment was also
expressed for new buildings to
house cattle and to provide exhibi
tors with living and eating quart
ers. New buildings arc needed, it was
said, to realize the goal of making
the fair's facilities adequate for
exhibits from throughout the
State.
