GIVES yIOLATORS WARNING


Charleston, Nov. 81 - Eleven
beer retailers in southern West
Virginia ere told today by
State Director T. G.. Mckinley
of the Brewers and Beer Dis
tributors' Committee to bring
their establishments into line
or "face the certainty of losing
your retail beer license"
Most of the warnings, which
were sent out after investiga-
tions by the committees in
spectors, complained of sale of
beer to intoxicated persons and
permitting boisterous or dis
orderly conduct. Seven of the
warnings went to retailers in
Bluefeld, and one each in WEIGH,
War, Princeton and Beckley.
More than Is retailers In all
parts Of the state h ave been
warned since September IL, Nc
Kinley said, "and our investiga-
tors have reported on reinvesti-
cation that nearly all Of them
are making strenuous efforts
to make corrections we demanded.
1--WE already have caused two
retailers licenses to be revoked
and will seek revocation Of the
licenses Of these stubborn few
who persist in violating the law
after we have warned them. In
addition to revocation proceed
ings now at our disposal, as a
result of the attorney generals
opinion last week, a new
powerful weapon to use on un.
scrupulo9s retailers - shut-off
of beer supply. We intend tc
make full use of this advantage
in bringing the beer industry
With the bounds of public sent
ment." Mckinley said.

Uncle Jack" died at his home
Saturday morning, November

ed a paralytic stroke in Octob-
err and had SINCE been bedfast.
Although his condition at times
seemed improved, attending
physicians held little hope Tor
his recovery.
a co,orful figure in Welch for
almost a quarter of a century,
Uncle Jacks favorite diversion
was to relate Incidents of Civil
War days when he was slave iii
Charlotte county, Virginia.
Despite his advanced years he
enjoyed unusually good heath
and had q retentive memory.
Until just recently he had work
ed for Attorney j. Newton Har-
mon, Jr., and Judge Thomas ii.
S. Curd.
Both white and colored of the
community loved the aged Ne
gro character for his simple
philosophy of life-"that a re-
turn to the simple faith of our
fathers is the solution for pres
ent day problems
Uncle Jack weathered storms
and strife, a winning battle for
freedom, floods and droughts,
the ebb and. frey of prosperity,
and yet his SO years were spent
in peace, happiness and content
ment, he would tell his friends.
John Wade was born at Lu-
nenberg court house, October
Fl, 1841, the slave of j o h n

born, all Of whom were reared
to maturity, married and to-
, gether had more than 60 grand
children.
Following the Civil Wa, Uncle
Jack remained faithful to his
master and continued in his SER
vice for several years.
He later gained employment
with the Norfolk and Western
Railway company. A most fit
ing tribute has been paid to the
highly respected colored citizen
in recent years by this railway
company by having its crack
Pocahontas make special stop

to discharge him whenever he
would make a trip to visit there.
