Carolina To Get Prohi Officers From Wet States State Dry Force* Will Be Augmented Covetous Eyes Cast On Post Of James A. Clifton, Head Of State Enforcement. Washington, Dec. 3.—A general shift in federal prohibition agents now operating in various parts of the country is expected after to morrow with the forces in North Carolina augmented generally. What will be done with several hundred prohibition agents operat ing in various states which become wet tomorrow, is a question that is being asked on all sides. Plans In N. C. Inquiry was today made at the offices of the prohibition branch of the division of investigation of the department of Justice, which is a governmental agency employing the 1.000 or more prohibition agents scattered throughout the country, as to plans especially for North Carolina, which remains part of the prohibition Sahara. Attorney General Homer S. Cum mings has been giving considerable thought to the problem presented by the presence of prohibition agents in states that will be wet after Tuesday. There seems to be little doubt, however, that most, if not all, will be withdrawn from such states as Pennsylvania, where 100 are on the payroll, for the very good reason that there will be no federal dry law for them to enforce. Charlotte Headquarter* Charlotte is the headquarters for the Carolinas region, with James A. Clifton as investigation in charge. Thus far he has had an ample force to carry on his work, but now that his region is one of the few that remains dry, interest centers on his jurisdiction and how it shall be managed. It has become known during the past few days that several men who have made fine records, have been casting covetous eyes on Clifton’s post. This is because it Is regarded as secure, and the further reason that Uncle Sam Is expected to. have an interminable job on his hands in the Carolinas in keeping them dry, in the face of the over whelming vote cast against repeal of the eighteenth amendment.

Federal Government Running In Red Half As Rapidly As One Year Ago Washington.—The federal gov ernment is running in the red only about half as rapidly as it did a year ago despite the pouring of more than a half billion dollars into recovery channels since July.

Mr. Siiemorr Of Hl(h Point To Speak On Matter Of Organ ising Association A general mass meeting of mer chants. retail and wholesale, and business men will be held in the court house Tuesday evening at 7:30 o’clock to consider organising a Merchants association. P. J. Sizemore, secreiary of the merchants association of High Point, has accepted an invitation to come and present the matter to the merchant sand business men., With over $200,000 being spent in the county on highways, civil works projects and with codes being com pleted by the National Recovery jgjgnJiPlgtratlQP, It. Is imperative that a business organization be formed to look after important matters concerning the town and county. No Paid Secretary No personal invitations are being sent out, but this Is a general In vitation to merchants and business men to attend the Tuesday night meeting at which time It will be decided whether to organize or not. Mr. Sizemore will point out the Importance of an organization just at this time when so many matters of grave concern to the merchants and to the economic life of the country are in the balance. No at tempt will be made to set up an expensive organization with a high priced, trained secretary, but an organization with a minimum of expense and a local man in charge, who can take up with proper au thorities the many civic and econ omic problems that are under way at this time. Urge All To Attend It is hoped to have every mer chant and business man, large and small at this meeting to hear the discussion by Mr. Sizemore. One prominent man stated this morning that “If this association accom plishes nothing more than the county's share of roads and Its full share of civil works projects. It will more than Justify Its existence. There are. however, hundreds of matters such as decorating for Christmas, special sale days through the year, uniform observance of holidays and other matters which should be taken up and acted on by a body, rather than In a haphazard. Individual manner.” Long Bridge Wrecks ’Em For No Reason R. B.
