Judge Montague Announces He VIII
Stop Sale Of Beverage.
HAS LAW OF STATE BEHIND HIM
Supreme Court Has Decided That
"Near-beer" Can be Dispensed at
Retail Only Under Regular Liquor
License-Formal Notice to Dealers.

Former Judge Edgar E. Montague,
commemorative attorney of Elizabeth
City county, yesterday announced that
he is going TO breakup the SAFE
near beer" In Hampton, PhoeDus
and Elizabeth City county.
Judge Montague intends to prose-
cute every firm or individual selling
near bear" unless the beverage IS
sold in the regular saloons and under
the regular state liquor license laws.
The decision to prevent the further
sale of the "small brew. as much Oh
the "near- beer" Is called, was arrived
at a conference between the common
wealth's attorney and Judge Clarence
w. Robinson. The opinion of the
court of appeals that the section OF
the Byrd law prohibiting the sale OF
"noar-beer at retail and limiting its
sale at wholesale, is constitutional. Is
the authority upon which Judge Mon
tague is acting.
II wish you would say" said Judge
Montague, that the sale of near
beer is certainly against the laws
of the state and from now on this
will he the attitude of the local au-
thcrities. The court of appeals has
settled the matter and their is moth
ing left now but for the authorities
to see that he opinion of the highest
court Is observed.
After this formal notice there VIII
be further excuse for anyone to plead
that the 'near-beer' sale is legal, for
the highest court has determined the
question and we intend from now on
to enforce the revenue laws as re-
CARDS the sale of 'near-beer."
The final decision to check the sale
O fthe "near-beer" came about over
the trial CT Jack Boyd, a negro res
taurant keeper, who was charged with
selling liquor without license. The
negro contended that he had sold only
'near-beer" and for that reason the
jury failed to reach a verdict.

CAPT. kENT's POSITION ON THE
LIQUOR QUESTION.

Even those who objected most
strongly to the course of the Anti
saloon League leaders during the
Democratic primary campaign hardly
will be sorry to learn that Captain
Kent. the Republican nominee for
governor, has been called upon to de-
clare his position in regard to the
liqour question. There Is no reason
for making the liquor question
an issue in this campaign. but
Republican state Chairman Slemp,
on the strength of what seems
to have been u vague state
sent by southwestern prohibition
leader, has attempted TO create dis
cord IN the Democratic ranks by dis
GUESSING for publication the probable
ity OF Statewide prohibition move
ment during the next session Of the
legislature. and has gone to far, even,
as to accuse Judge Mann. the Demo
cratic candidate, OF avoiding question
concerning his attitude in this mat
ter This attempt to make an issue.
whey there is none If the Republican
state platform adopted here In July
"a to be accepted as Captain Kents
platform. makes 1t entirely proper
that the Republican candidate should
be called upon to inform the people
what is his position in regard to
liquor.
As we recall 1t, Judge Mann has
declared himself. in effect. as follows:
He favors the present Democratic
policy CT local option; he would veto
Statewide prohibition bill in the
event such a measure should be pass
ed by the legislature, unless the leg
isiature had been elected in a cam
paign in which state wide prohibition
was an issue and In which the prohi-
bitten forces elected the majority; II
the legislature should pass bill sub
hitting the question of Statewide
prohibition to vote OF the people. he
would sign 1t.
There is nothing ambiguous about
the Democratic nomisee's position,
and ne repeated his platform too Of
ten during the primary campaign for
the people to forget what he said oil
be misled by the statements Of Mr.
Slemp.
The Republican convention declar-
ed for local option. but the plat
torn adopted said nothing about wha'
Republican governor would do IN
the event the legislature should de
sire to submit the Statewide question
to the people. Mr. Slemp's inter
views indicate that be is trying 4

he would introduce an independent

would press to passage If possible.
Mr. Elkins asserted that The peo-

$500. 600 a day to foreign shipping for
hauling our own goods. He called at

This was a tranpOrsition which tse
