suited in the ousting of the officer,
who also relinquished the office of
nominee.

Correspondence between opposing
counsl in the case heard today indi
cated that criminal charges might be
pushed against the former sheriff,
but no steps in this direction have
been taken.

Liquor Stores
?
Raleigh, Aug. 23. ? Figures for
July reveal that North Carolinians
consumed legally $481,767.70 alcohol
ically, a good hot season baainese in
which Wake and Durham stood out
like a naughty deed In a good world.
One year ago when Wake voted
for ABC stores, Chairman Cutlar
Moore of the North Carolina Board
of Alcoholic Beverage Control pro- ?
phesied that the two counties, Dur
ham and Wake, would sett "more
than one fifth of all the legally soldi
liquor in the state." Durham dis
pensed $60,520,80 for July and Wake ]
$63,070.80. This was the first time "
in the 13 months of selling that Wake
had led Durham. -
Though more populous than Dnr- -j
ham, Wake's competition is much
keener. Johnston, Nash and Frank
ling all touch Wake, as dbeg Durham
in a big way. Then Vance is just a j
few miles across Franklin. But Dur- j
ham has much better dry territoyl
patronage'and 12 of these months j
the domain of Butt has bested Wake i
handily.- The two counties sold-bet- /
ter than 25 per cent of the liquor for !
July. <
Reports for August are coming in "
piecemeal and it has bees announced
from the Raleigh ABC storee that <
they enjoyed no pickup, whatsoever
as the result of the General Assem- '
bly's week here. If anything, there
was a mild drop. The assembly came
to the capital in very fiance weather,
but past experience has shown that. 1
heat is no bar to alcoholic consump- <
tion. The general explanation is that
liquor has been made so easy to get ?,
that the legislators found no fascina
tion in it. . /
Besides, it is off second that once
upon a time, it was in 1937, there
was a big church convention in Ra
leigh and somebody played a joke
on that religious body by running up
the liquor sales.
