A Dividend in Rye
Rockingham Woman Doesn't Know
What to DO with IL Cases of WhIskey

Mrs Lucy Phillips Russell,
who has been here this week on
a visit to her son, tells Of
friend OF hers in Rockingham,
woman, who received a queer
dividend notice the other day
The woman was advised sev-
cral months ago, BY a person
whose Judgment she had reason
to trust, to buy some stock in
distiling company in Kentucky.
1t would probably 90 up, he
said, III anticipation Of the re
peal Of the 18th Amendment
She did buy the stock, and it did
90 up.
Reports that the company
was to declars. q dividend were
circulated freely, and she was
not surprised to receive a no.
tice Of the declaration. But she
was very much surprised to
learn that the dividend was not
in the form Of cash but consist
ed Of ten cases Of rye whiskey
reposing safely in bonded
warehouse. Enclosed was a Ger
tiiicate emitting her to take
possession.
Whiskey cannot be legally
shipped into North Carolina
even if the owner of the dlvi-
dend wanted it for her own use,
which she doesn't. She IS .nqulr-
/ ing into ways and means of
turning it into cash.

didn't come through with it

FIRST 81 NAMES
ON BALLOT STAND
OUT FOR REPEAL
MONROE COUNTY AND OTHER
VOTERS or FLORIDA TO
CAST BALLOTS TOMORROW
IN REPEAL ELECTION

Voters in Monroe county, and
the state of Florida, will cast their
ballots tomorrow for delegates on
repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment Of the constitution.
Those who have kept in touch
with the trend Of events in this
county are of the opinion that
there will be very little inter-
est taken in the election.
One person, who is and always
has been opposed to the amend
ment, told The Citizen he did not
believe 1000 ballots will be cast,
and this number will be only two
fifths of the total qualified.
The qualified list shows approx
mately 5,O25 voters. Any person
who was qualified to vote in the
last general election is qualified
to vote on this repeal question.
In the issue Of The Citizen of
Saturday the complete ballot was
printed. This shows 81 names for
repeal, eight against repeal and
80 unpledgcd-
To vote for repeal, make q
cross mark before the 81 names
at the left Of the ticket, If it is
desired to vote for all of the dele
gates. Be careful to vote for 81
only. or less. Any ballot carrying
less than 81 crosses win be valid.
Al ballot with more than that num-
Der will be thrown out.
In voting for repeal delegates.
the elector will find it easy to
mark the ballot correctly. If the
elector votes against repeal and
marks the eight names on the
ticket so designated and then
makes selections from the 90 un-
pledged names to complete the
list Of 81, ne will find the process
a little more complicated.
Results Of the election in Mon
roe county and other sections of
the state will be published in the
issue of The Citizen Wednesday.
