v|NOUS LIQUOR CASE
Within a Mile of LittIeton Col
Iege in Another County.
Question Whethsr Law Applies 10 Warren
County Or Not. Appeal Argued in
Supreme Court.

A case of considerable interest in the
Supreme court yesterday was that of
State against Knots, from Halifax.
It seems that T. G. Knots, of Halifax
county, was indicted for selling wine
within one mile of Littleton Female Col
lege.
The college is in Warren county, and
by an act of the Legislature it is un-
lawful for any person to sell Tinous Ii
quors in Warren county within one mile
of the college.
At the trial the State offered in evil
dence the Acts of 1897 of the General
Assembly of North Carolina, Chapter
All, prohibiting the sale of liquors in
Warren county within one mile of Lit
tleton Female College, and such otner
as are pertinent:
provided that this act shall not con-
flict with the Littleton Dispensary Act"
Witness for the State testified that he
bought quart of wine from Knots at
Houses old bar place in Littleton on
the Halifax side of the town.
Knots testified that the wine was
made from grapes of his own growth;
1ndT ne laQ TWO wine uOuoOSs OhS III iAetA-
flax and one in Warren, and that thus
wine was made in the house where it
was sold: that the Warren county wine
house is /, 1926 % yards of Littleton Fee
male College; that he had been making
wine there for ten years; that he had no
VINEYARD in Halifax county; that he took
grapes grown in Warren county and made
wine from those grapes in the Halifax
county wine house.
Defendant Knots asked Judge Win
ston, who tried the case, to charge the
jury that the Littleton Female College
Act applied only to Warren county and
not to Halifax, and if they believed the
evidence the defendant was not guilty.
The judge refused to so charge.
Yesterday before the Supreme court
Col. ]. c. L. Harris, Capt. Day and Mr..
Bell appeared for Knots, and Attorney
General Gilmer for the State.

where he is said to have made a

however, he almost lost his life at

his revolver on a man named
Goldbaum. Goldbaum caught the
pistol in time to send the bullet to

Eagan to the floor and might have

passed would have injured the
Beet Sugar industry in this coun.
try. 1t is generally believed that
General Wood did not exceed his
authority, and the money he spent
was subscribed by Cubans for the
purpose and was legitimately ex-
pended.
