BY j. C. BASKERVILL
Raleigh, Dec. 22.-The lines are al
ready being tightly drawn for the IL
quor fight in the forthcoming General
Assembly as result of the report of
the State Liquor Control Commission
which has just been made public. At
the present time, those favoring IL
quor stores on a county option basis,
as recommended by majority Of the
members of the liquor control COM
mission, are regarded as being in the
majority. But it is already apparent
that the United Dry Forces, the W..
c. T. u, and other "bone drys" WIN
are opposed to the legislation of the
sale of liquor in North Carolina, have
been greatly encouraged by the min
GRITTY report submitted by three MEM
bers of the commission, in which they
consent to Statewide liquor stores
plan only after the approval of the
State liquor control law by State
wide referendum election. The drys
believe this minority report is going
to be of great help to them in their
drive not only to prevent the opening
of any more liquor stores in the State,
but to close those now in operation
in 10 wet counties.
Strategy of "Drys."
Two lines of strategy are going to
be used by the "drys' in opposing the
enactment of a Statewide liquor con-
troll law, political observers here al
ready agree. The first of these is to
foment disagreement between the Is
counties now having liquor stores and
those favoring the combination State
county control system as advocated by
