the matter before the stockholders OF

Most OF the stockholders are Whining
ton business men. The hotel managers
claim that whereas last year they were
crowded. the hotels are not comfort
ably filled at present, and that the
reason is that they cannot sell beer,
while the resort hotels in Virginia and
South Carolina sell it. They say that
Seaboard Air Line official informed
them his road could not induce people
to come to Wrightsville Beach, as be-
fore. and attributed it solely to the
inability of the guests to get beer.
Last year the hotel companies were
indicted for selling beer, but the in
dictments were dropped, as the grand
jury indicted corporations and not peo-
pie. Since then the search and seizure
act has passed the North Carolina Leg
islature. and this is what has caused
