ABC Stores in Duplin County have been the object of many controversies in the past couple of months, espe cially for the towns of Kenansville and Faison. Duplin County towns began to unite their efforts to petition for an ABC referen dum in 1%3, and members of this movement contacted their local representative in the House'as-well as their senator. County commis sioners at that time had the authority to call a county wide vote on ABC Stores, but they refused, so local towns were seeking a bill through their representatives which would allow incorporated municipalities to call such a referendum. Legislation was passed, and August 1, 1%5 it became effective in Duplin County; however, before that date the county commissioners called a county-wide referendum on ABC Stores. Commis sioners stated that the entire county should have a vote on the issue of ABC Stores and this referendum was held August 30, 1965. County wide ABC Stores were de feated by 520 votes, but seven of the 20 precincts voting went "wet." The "wet" precincts were Warsaw. Faison; Albertson, Smith, Hailsville, Chinquapin and Kenansville. In November, Warsaw, Kenansville and Faison held town ABC referendums and each voted to establish liquor stores according to North Carolina laws. According to state general statutes, a three-member ABC Board had to be ap pointed and these individuals would serve staggered 3-year terms. The ABC Board would be subject to the State ABC Board and would be in charge of operating the town liquor store according to state regulations. Also, determined in the legislation authorizing towns to vote on the liquor issue was the distribution of profits between the county and town. The profits after operating expenses and working capital were to be divided as follows: 5% to city general fund for law en forcement and 50% city general fund for any govern ment purposes. 10% Duplin Board of Commissioners to be expended for drainage control projects in agricul ture, and 35% county general fund. Total the town would receive. 55% and the county 45%, and these figures have not changed. Recently, members of the Faison Board of Commis sioners and the town mayor voted to increase the operat ing expenses of their ABC Store. They did this by raising the rent on the build ing which is annexed to the town hall and owned by Faison. By increasing the rent, the profits the county received were cut. and com plaints caused the State ABC Board to request that Faison lower the rent, so it would be in line with rent charged by other private businesses in the town. Faison lowered its f< rent and was left with the p problem of finding money to o replace the lost revenue be- C cause money from the rent fi increase had been allocated e to the recreation program fi and the salary of a new u recreation director. This was F a loss of $18,000 when the E rent was dropped from i< $24,000 a year to $6,000 a E year. R As a result of this loss of n funds. Mayor Bill Carter of B Faison began a campaign to N change the profit distribution 2 between the county and N town. His opinion' is the J county should get little to none of ABC funds because the county voted dry on liquor stores back in 1965. Carter was prompted by a conversation with Senator Hardison to quote him as saying he would introduce legislation to reduce the amount of profit the county receives, which Haridson denies, but says he would be glad to meet with the town mayors and discuss their financial problems. But. in Kenansvillc the ABC Store has another kind of difficulty. Last month the entire ABC Board in Kenansville resigned over a ? disagreement with the town board of commissioners, the MATTHEWS PROMOTED Glenn F. Matthews, Drmerly of Faison, has been iromoted to branch manager f the Elizabethtown office of 'ape Fear Production Credit kssociation. He has been mployed by Cape Fear PCA ar 3 years. Matthews grad ated from North Duplin ligh School and attended iast Carolina University. He , ? the son of Mr. and Mrs. lonald R. Matthews of loute 2, Faison, and is tarried to the former Susan Irock, daughter of Mr. and <rs. Garland Brock of Route , Mount Olive. The Matthews have two sons, ason and Brock. ABC Board was asked to conduct a study of store hours and sales to determine if a 12-hour workday was necessary at the ABC Store. The report was never pre sented to the town commis sioners and profits were * down to the point that the , commissioners felt some thing had to be done. To c increase profits, the com- e missioners felt store hours ( should be cut and the staff of t three should be reduced by t one person. This would be a saving of about $10,000 a [ year. However, the ABC c Board at that time felt thev a could not go along with this 1 request and promptly re- a signed. A week later an c entirely new board was r named. The decision on ways s' suggested to save ABC a revenue in Kenansville is still being considered. e I ? ? $ PUBLIC HEALTH WEEK i |j The week of Oct. 7-13 is J ?ublic Health Week in North Carolina, and the theme iMf' 'Healthy Children ?
