(BY MAX ABERNETHY)

Ralelgh. Jan 23.-Solution of the
liquor traffic evil will not come
through a greater force of revenue
officers and state constabulary in
the opinion Of Eugene H. Arnold
lawyer newspaper writer and busi
ness man Of Elkin, West Virgini..,
who was a visitor here fo, a short
time the end of the past week.
Both Of these methods have been
employed in West Virginia in recent
months since the eighteenth amend
nent became operative without the
oesi1ed result, Mr.. Arncld states. He
does not think conditions in North
Carolina are dissimilar to those in
his state ana is emphatic in the be-
lief that until there is Il more gen
e1al respect for the VolsteaE act.
here anG elsewhere over the United
States, prohibition will not prohibit
tor some year - come.
The state of West Virginia offers
a striking example Of the inability
Of prohibition enforcement officers
tc stamp out the manufacture Of
spirituous liquors. Recently that
state, by legislative enactment,
created a state constabulary of $50
revenue forces in putting stop to
the liquor traffic. Today it is gener-
ally admitted that more whiskey is
being manufactured and pedGled IN
West Virginia than at any time since
the eighteenth amendment was rati-
fled. | naddition to the state police
the federal government Increased it's
force OF revenue officers there with
out avail.
Mr. Arnold is a great-nephew Of
General Thomas j. 'Stonewall''
Jackson ane: is being urged by some
Of the West Virginia papers to make
the race for congress in his district
from that state While in Raleigh he
visited at the home of DR.. D. H.
Hill, his uncle, stoping here enroute

!spent several weeks on business.
