LOCAL Abe BOARDS
LIKE NEW MEMBER
Feimster Also Impressed
With Calibre of Men on
County Lists
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
Tn tho Sir Waller Hnfnl

Raleigh, May 27.-There are definite
signs that appointment of w. c.
Feimster to the State Board of AL
coholic Control will go far toward
smoothing over the friction which has
marked relationship of the State
group with county ABC units nv
At least, that's the impression gain
ed after Mr.. Feimster met with the
county ,ABC association Wednesday
night after he had been sworn in as
board member earlier in the day
and had conferred with the other two
members, Chairman Guitar Moore and
Associate Member Webb Williams.
Reliable reports of the meeting in
dictate that Mr.. Feimster-a lifelong
though not a fanatic dry-was plea
sanity surprised by the caliber of men
making up the county ABC boards,
as exemplified by those he saw Wed
nesday night.
The new State board member also
manifested great interest in getting
thoroughly acquainted with the back
ground and previous work of the
State board and of the county units.
With Chairman Moore and Mr.. Will
liams, he visited the State liquor
warehouse in Wilson yesterday.
When Mr.. Feimster was named to
replace ThoInas~J. Murphy, of Green's
boro, there was considerable doubt of
his acceptability to the county con-
trollers, many of whom felt that the
county option system can best be
given a fair chance to succeed when
operated under the supervision OF
board members who are in sympathy
with the present law.
Mr.. Williams comes from Pasquo
tank and has been a county controller
from the start. Chairman Moore pre-
vious to Wednesday night had rebuff
