member of the House said: This is
a dangerous bill and should be refer
RED to the Liquor Traffic Committee
for careful consideration. 1t per-
m1ts, under certain restrictions. the
sale of native wines by grocers in
towns and cities having prohibition
or dispensaries. Is that not subject
to abuse? 1 think there is grave
danger that it is opening the door to
evasion of the temperance laws"
Another gentleman said he was ut
terly opposed to the bill--that it

to sell other things under the name
of wine" and would thereby de-
stroy prohibition in many places
where IL IS now in force.
In Raleigh wines are now sold
only in the disponsary. Under this
act it could also be sold by grocers.
