THINK LIQUOR
SET UP IN N. C.
WILL BE KEPT
Poll Shows County-Opera-
ton, State-Control,
Likely to Remain
BY CHILEs COLEMAN .
limited Press Staff Correspondent

RALEIGH, Dec. 20. (UPl-
The chances of North Carolina
abandoning the cOunty-operation'
state-control liquor system adopt
ed two years ago are'negliglble, a
United Press poll of members OF
the 1889 general assembly mdi-
Gated today. ~,
More than 70 per cent of the
legislators voting on the question:
DO YOU favor Il change IN the
states liquor control SYSTEM! an
swcred mo" without quallflca-
ton. A few favored minor modl-
fications while only one leglsIa-
, tor brought up the much-dlscusS-
ed question of q statewide refer
endum as recommended by Gov
ernor Clyde r. Hoey when he
took office two years ago.
The statewide liquor referen-
dunn was one of the few recon-
mendations Governor Hoey made
which were not adopted. Instead
the general assembly two years
ago brought the loose-knit county
operation under state control and
set up a board to supervise and
regulate liquor sales.
Since that time, eight counties
by referendum votes have joined
the original II in the wet col
umn, and two have been added
BY legislative enactment.
The sale of intoxicating liquor
in those 81 counties has grown
to a acknowledgement business
which returns to the state in the
form of sales taxes nearly half
a million dollars annually.
The other IS counties of the
state still operated under the
burlington act 1928. North Car
olina's state prohibition law. This
group includes 50 which have
never voted on county-option Ii
ouor and IL which have rejected
the proposition at referenda.
Ali indications are that few
changes will be sought in the ex-
istirg Setup and that those few
will be minor. Governor Hoey has
not receded fro mhis stand that
statewide referendum would be
desirable, but political observers
who have noted absence OF dry

400, 900 home units will be built
next year through private initia-
tive. Add to this the activity in
the public housing field, and an
other 100000 may be easily add
ed next year."
This, Mr.. Bennett pointed out
would bring total Of 500, 900
home upits, practically equalling
the total for 1929.
As one of the significant de-
velopments. contributing to the
upturn in building, Mr.. Bennett
pointed to the National Housing
guild which was :, formed more
than three years ago by Johns
Manville. The housing guild plan
was designed to provide "more
house for the money" and make
it easier for the public to buy
housing. Under this plan all local
factors of the building industry
including contractors, architects,
sub-contractors, financing agen-
cies, material dealers and others
are organized into a "one-stop''
service organization where the
consumer can deal with one in
dividual in planning, constructing
and financing type of home con-
struction or remodelling job.

Floyd Tells Of Rules
For Selling Leaf

Continued from Page One.)
1896 and 1897 seasons.
Individual farm quotas are now be-
ing determined in the tobacco-produc-
ing counties, Flovd explained. In ad
1rlnistering the ouJtas, each farm.
operator will be given a marketing
card showing the amount of tobacco
he can sell without penalty.
Before selling his tobacco on ware
house floors, the producer must show
his marketing card to representa-
tive of the AAA stationed there. All
sales within the quota will be re
corded on the card.
Regulations provide for the trans
fer of quotas among farms. Should
a farmer not have enough marketable
tobacco to fill up his card, he can
transfer the card to another grower
who may have more tobacco than his
card allows.

Selling Wave

New York, July 26.-(P)-The stock

Today and suffered losses running to
around two points. Activity was most
pronounced in the selling wave that
swept down recent leaders shortly
after the opening. Volume dried up
appreciably on the subsequent come
back, in which extreme declines were
halved in many instances. Late offer
ings put final prices near their lows,
although a handful of advancing spe-
cialties helped soften the general re-
lapse. The selling pace quickened
somewhat near the finish, and trans
fers approximated 1,25O,O0O shares.
