press Company to Receive Liz

s$Lynchburg, Va, Jan. 26.-In order
re circumvent a North Carolina stat
lie, which prevents the shipment Of
liquor into the counties of Mitchell,
Avery, Rutherford, Cherokee, Macon
and Jackson, and the towns of High
Point, Morehead City, Trinity, James
town, Guilford college, Friendship
and Chapel Hill, an effort was made
lin chambers here to secure from
Judge Mcdowell of the Federal dis
trict court, a mandatory injunction,
requiring the Southern Express COM
pany to receive at Bristol, Va, liq-
uors intended for personal use in
those communities. Judge Mcdowell,
however, held his court lacked juris-
diction and the application was de-
/! MED.
Since December 1st the express
company has been declining ship
ments because Of the North Caro-
lima statute in connection with the
webb federal law. 1t is claimed that
THE shipment in the case was not in
tviolation of the federal law and for
that reason North Carolina can not
prevent a shipment that is not pro-
hibited by the federal statue.
1t is probable that the Bristol Dis
tributing Company, the complainant
! in the case will seek relief in the
Bristol Corporation court and appeal
from the Interstate Supreme Court to
the Federal Supreme in order to have
that tribunal rule on the constitu-
ionality Of the North Carolina stat
ute.

Engineer Included in Civil
Service Order.
ACTION FOLLOWS TALK
WITH COLLECTOR BOOTH
Commissioner Fordyce Points
Out That Officials Are Liable
for Wrongful Payments.

Civil Service Commissioner Alex
ander r. Fordyce jr., today notified
County Collector Richard W Booth
TO Withhold the pay Of eleven county
employees. This decision followed a
conference with Mr. Booth, Mr.. For
dyce and F'reeholder Richard F. Mat
tia Mr. Fordyce warned the free
holder representative that he will
hold up every pay that does not come
into his Office on the regular payroll
in lieu of a claim" payment
The men affected by todays de-
cision are nine bridgemen. one bridge
inspector and the engineer at the
county penitentiary Mr.. Fordyce ex-
planned that under the civil service
laws. the moneys paid outside Of the
regular payroll can be collected from
these who paid it or their bondsmen.
Mr. Fordyee declares that If this
practise continues he will resort to
the rules OF the Civil Service Com
mission
William Muzwick for the past year
has been engineer at the penitentiary.
The first time that Mr. Fordyce knew
of this position was ascertained when
he looked over the county payroll last
week. Mr. Fordyce explains that
MuzwiclS was paid by claim and his
name never appeared on the payroll
Five of the bridgemen have been
discharged following the attack of
the civil service commissioner. Four
yet repain. Their pay is being held
up. AS soon as the Board Of Free
holders can secure eligible Hfn from
the civil service list they. tod, will be
discharged.
Anato Rosamlia for the past sew
eral months has received his money
as a bridge Inspector via the claim
route. In this manner the informa-
ton was hidden from Mr. Fordyce.
Mr.. Fordyce has als1 ord cred iiosam-
las pay held up pending a 'urther
Investigation.
Both the freehelder and the coun-
ty collector told Mr.. Fordyce thai
hereafter they will use the regular
pay sheet instead of the claim
voucher.
Mr.. Fordyce declared that he has
found other Irregularities with the
county officeholders. He will 1Jt
divulge what he has ound until he
has had more time to Investigate. 1t
is likely that Mr.. Fordycs will grant
the bridgemen a hearing
At the present time there s a
schedule of eligibles for every coun-
ty position. Many temporary appoint
ments have been made by the free
holders. These will not receive their
pay
