Beer Bill Takes Assembly’s Time; On Appropriation With Beer Bill Out Of Way Approp riation Plan To Cause Bis Fight. By M. R. liunnagan, Star News Bureau.) RUeigh, April 3.—The senate dis placed briefly the important ap propriations bill the past week tc consider and pass the Senator Fran cis “beer” bill and send it over tc the house by special messenger, ther completed and sent over the ap propriations measure it had workec out, only to have the house “throw it back” by refusal to concur, thus necessitating a conference commit tee to try' to iron out an exceeding ly tangled measure. More enthusiasm than has beer seen so far this season was shown over the beer” bill, the first tc come before the senate, and the firsl eince the congress passed and Presi dent Roosevelt signed the measure to the same intent. The bill, as passed by the senate, provides foi he sail of. beer, wine and othei light beverages with not more than 3~ per cent alcohol, but prohibits operation of places solely or primari ly for their sale; meaning, no beei gardens. A tax of $2 a barrel, oi two cents a bottle, would be impos ed, and municipalities are allowed tc place a $25 tax on places selling iuch drinks, and for a distance oi two miles beyond their corporate limits. Th< senate voted down the Sen ator Way ick. amendment to allow a referendum on the measure, but adopted amendments allowing radio and newspaper advertising o! ,lne beer, legalizing it May 1 and striking out the requirement hat the revenue go to the school fund. The senate vote finally was 33 to u, in the house the measure Placed on the calendar for ac bon early this week.

Mr. Gardner is a member of the economy group or bloc which hopes to balance the budget by reducing expenses instead of shifting taxes or levying new ones .The fact that the eight months school has al ready passed the Senate and a sales tax is considered by many as in evitable, Mr. Gardner stated that the economy group was far from ready to give up the fight. ‘‘We’re going to stay right there and keep on fighting for a reduc tion in governmental expenses.” he ! said. "You can’t balance the budget of a ‘busted’ state just by levy ing a tax the people cannot pay.” Schools And Taxes. The Senate has already approved the eight months school measure, the Cleveland representative said, but the measure will face tremen dous opposition when it reaches the house. It will be a very close fight there, he added, and there will not likely be over a half dozen votes difference, but Representative Gard ner believes the measure will be de feated by a slight margin. The sales tax will also pass the senate, he said. The house is pretty evenly divided on the tax. the di vision being about the same as on the eight months schools. There Is still a hope, he thinks, that a gen eral sales tax may be defeated in the house. The anti-sales tax group fights at a disadvantage, he stated, because of the position of Governor Ehringhaus in supporting such a tax. At the beginning of the legis lative term the sentiment against (Continued on page five.) Ministers Bemoan 7 Two Pastors Express Regret That Beer Will Be Sold In North Carolina Soon. At least two ministers of the lead ing uptown churches expressed re gret yesterday from their pulpits that beer will be sold in North Car olina if the bill now pending before the house of representatives passes this week. Dr. E. K. McLarty of Central Methodist recalled the drinking, the suffering and crime that prevailed during the saloon days and ex pressed fear that the legilization ol beer is the opening wedge for the sale of alcoholic liquors. ‘•Two things of the past week struck me as most ridiculous, said Dr. Wall in his Sunday morning sermon, “One of the big brewers announced that he was glad that beer has returned to the working man. [Since when has a brewer de veloped a sympathy for the poor workijgman?" Dr. Wall also ques tioned the motive of the N. Y. Stock exchange in sending Cameron Beck, its personel director out to talk to school children and civic club members. There are plenty of wolves today parading in sheep’s clothing and it is ridiculous that the New York Stock exchange should send a man out to uplift the youth. Coming Of Gallimore Youth i Is Still Missing; Gone For 2 Weeks School Student Lett March 20. Search Yesterday Fails To Locate Trace. Two weeks have pasted since Ray Lee Gallimore, 16-year-old Shelby school boy, suddenly disappeared and in that time not a word has been heard from him by his parents j Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gallimore. Sunday Mr. Gallimore and Police Chief McBride Poston made trips to Charlotte and Asheville attempting to locate the missing youth, but met with no success. Nowhere could they pick up a trace of the boy or find information -which might help in locating him. The last the youth was seen was two weeks ago this afternoon in the Shelby business section. Apparent ly he left town by himself, for no other boys are missing and none of his acquaintances has any idea where he may be. There was no reason insofar as his parents and friends know for him to leave home. It is believed that he had some money with him when he left, per haps enough to keep him going even without work for several weeks. It is hoped that he secured a job somewhere and is working and that j he is well and nothing has happen ed to him. S. Shelby P. T. A.

McKinney Will Not Enter Contest Former Mayor Outlines Frank And Outspoken Platform. Seeking No Favors. New Interest developed today In Shelby's city election in May when a former mayor, W. N. Dorsey, an nounced that he would be a candi date again. Mr. Dorsey's entrance makes three formal candidates in the field with some indication that there nifty be others. The two announced in addi tion to Mr. Dorsey arc S. A. Me Murry, present mayor; and Z. J Thompson alderman. While one new candidate was entering the race another prospec tive candidate. E. F. McKinney, prominent and popular business man and farmer, issued a statement saying that he would not run. He says: "I deeply appreciate the urg ent request of many friends and voters that I become a candidate for mayor of Shelby. I first said, ‘No.; I then considered and now say 'Positively no.’ I desire to be loyal to the wishes of the people but find that my time is thoroughly taken with my own problems. I would like to add that my idea of economy is to get value received for every dol lar of tlie city’s funds.” Makes Statement The Dorsey platform and stand as outlined In The Star today is ex ceptionally frank and outspoken. He declares that he did make mistakes during his former term of two years, but is of the opinion that the ex perience then will aid him if elected again. A mistake listed was that oi the police chief appointed "and soma of his men." In making this statement, Mr. Dorsey added: “If I ain favored with office again, this will not happen. I will use home men. We have plenty of good men to select from, and if I don't get good men at first, I know how to change them." About Taxes The platform further states that the candidate would demand a clean town in every respect. As to light, water and tax rates, he declares that promises about such are made only to get votes. He reminds that a mayor cannot reduce rates and states that such reduction is entirely with the board of aldermen. He would, he said, vote for a reduction in case of a tie vote with the board. Due to conditions he says that he would favor strict economy, is opposed to selling the city light plant and reminds that he refused to recommend such a course dur ing his previous term. He concludes by declaring “I have no land to sell the city, don’t want any improve ments of any property I may own or for any relatives. All I want from the city will be my salary, and that just what the law provides. If I think it not sufficient, I can resign." He expresses appreciation for the ladies votes he hopes to receive as he believes there influence helped him greatly in his former victory.
