States Beer
Consumption
Is Larger
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Ry I,SN\ NISRET

Raleigh. Aug 3.-Nurth Carolina
consumed 9.585,l84.l9 gallons Of beer
during the l2-month period ending
June 80, an approximate increase Of
Il percent over the volume for the
1889 fiscal year.
Figures complied by the Brewers
and North Carolina Beer DiStribu-
tors committee disclosed that the
states consumption for the year end
ing June 30 was 300, l99.49 barrels
of 81 gallons each, as compared with
277,204.36 barrels for the previous
year. This IS an increase OF nearly
4 million gallons.
Even SO. this seemingly large con-
sumption doesn't put North Caro-
lima anywhere near the front rank
in per capita consumption Of beer.
These figures -SpW that the aver
age Tar Heel drinks 2 81 gallons
of beer each year. while the national
per capita average is II ID gallons.
Some states have Il per capita aver
age Of more than 20 gallons.
North CarolinianS prefer their beer
in cans and bottles, according to
sales figures. During the year just
closed ninety per cent Of beer sold
in North Carolina was in cans or
bottles. while for the country at
large the volume Of packaged and
draught beer WAS just about equal.
The beer industry paid into the
treasury Of North Carolina for the
last fiscal year more than million
and d half dollars in taxes, while
the federal levy of So barrel was
about as much-a total Of more than
S3.000.000 in all taxes.
The Brewers and Beer Distributors
Committee is highly pleased with re-
suits Of its clean up or close up
campaign inaugurated about year
ago. An even hundred beer dealers
licenses had been revoked up to
August | at the instance OF the COM
mttcc. Four dealers have been plac-
ed on probation. and an undetermln-
cd number failed to get renewal OF
license in May because OF protests
filed by the committee. In addition
1875 dealers have been warned that
unless certain undesirable practices
are discontinued steps will be taken
to have their license revoked.
The committee has Waged an m
tensive advertising campaign 10
prove to the public that the beer m
dustry has no close alignment with
the hard liquor BUSINESS, as well as
to indicate complete willingness on
the part of the beer dealers to con-
duct their operations strictly in &C
corance with the law and with the
wishes of the good people in their
own communities.

"Shail we drive?" Robert asked.

"Would you take me to the Far
rishes? 1 have the address. It's in
The Bronx, just as the Alderman
address was, but much farther up.
I seem to be doing a Pollyanna
act, spreading sunshine or some
thing these days"
She did not want to see the Par
rishes, but she knew that it would
take much more than the hour to
make this trip and she did not
want to say goodby to Robert.
Her voice sounded tired and the
man laid strong hand over the
two slim white ones that were
folded in her lap. Al the pressure,
so swift and reassuring, tears came
into her eyes and frightened their
greenness. She tried to wink them
away, but they rolled down on the
hand that covered her own.
Suddenly Robert spoke. Il love
you, Linda. I'm not disgusting it
any longer. SO it's better that I'm
going away"
She did not answer. There was
nothing that she could say. But
somewhere a bugle began to play,
sweet and gay and lifting. Some
place far away, so far she could
not follow it. She remembered that
she had heard the strains that first
night Robert had come into her life
because of the wonder of Ronald's
return.
She and Robert, so strange to
each other then, yet so oddly uli-
derstanding, had been sitting be-
fore her fire because she had left

When she spoke she asked a
question, "Then why did you fly
away with Billie Anne?"
He looked at the traffic that sped
ahead of them, and his hands lay
loose on the wheel. ut isn't partic-
ularly important, Linda. But l
don't love Billie Anne. Always re-
member it's you-if you need me"
Then he changed the subject ana
began to chat of the case, of the
docility of Nina who no longer an

had come to him with an apology
for his conduct.

Hosgard said the school board on

ton formally declaring the funds
necessary for operation of the con-
stitutional school term" This reso.
luton, he said, gave the county
board all necessary legal authority
to proceed with issuance Of bonds.
1--WE had agreed last summer" he
said, that although the school
board needed approximately $145, 900
for improvements, we would not
ask for any more than the county
board could issue without exceeding
the constitutional debt limits. Mem
bers of the county board then de-
clared the county board needed a
portion of this credit leeway for
certain improvements at the county
home and farm. The school board
promptly agreed not to stand in the
way Of any worthy project for which
the county board needed to issue
bonds. We agreed to take what was
left and were then assured that the
bonds would be issued.

this idea in mind, had encouraged
Finland to resist Russia.
The press did not say Germany

today's comment was intended as
spade-work for a subsequent and
more positive attitude of support
for the Reds.

French aid to Finland is being

minds Of foreign inquirers that
Germany will not stand idly by in

records.
Buchanan was granted 4 new
trial because Superior Court Judge
Felix E. Alley allowed Solicitor
J. E. McMichael to read excerpts
from a previous supreme court
opinion granting the negro a new
trial.
Associate Justice A. A. F. Sea-
well wrote, while the case before
was sent back for retrial princi-
pally upon the ground that the
remark Of the judge at the time
he swore both ways'-was calcu-
lated to discredit the defendants
testimony in the eyes Of the jury,
it has another significance at this
time, since the defendant did not
go upon the stand at his more re-
cent trial. The jury might have Inc
ferred that he did not go upon
the stand in his own defense be-
cause he had previously sworn
both ways"
Justice Seawell commented that
evidence was "ample" to warrant
the first degree conviction.
In the Glenn Maxwell case.
which also had been before the
supreme court once before, Chief
Justice w. P. Stacy wrote that
"the facts are few and simple and
only slightly in dispute. There il
nothing on the record to justify a
disturbance of the verdict ant
judgment"
The chief justice also wrote thu
opinion in the Clarence Rogers
case, holding that a purported con.
fession was properly admitted
Rogers allegedly induced the news-
boy, Howard Moore. into a wooded
section Of Durham for an unnatu-
raj sex act and struck him and
cut his throat. According to the
alleged confession, Rogers killed
the youth because he was afraid
"he would tell on him." However,
the negro testified at his trial
that he did it in self defense and
because of This perverted mind or
rlental irresponsibility."
The court found no error in the
conviction of Robert Williams,
whose case was studied though no
case on appeal had been filed and
the time for filing had expired.
In the Murray-stephens convic-
ton, Associate Justice Michael
schenck wrote that the evidence
amply supports the verdict"

there were no casualties In Turku
ana only a few in Hanko.
In addition to the isthmus de-
Tense, which occurred in the Tai
pale river zone, the Firms report
ed widespread successes in fighting
on the eastern front.
Tanks Captured
Northeast of Suomussalmi, near
Lake Kianta, the Finnish troops
reached the western shores of
Lake Kokkojarvi and at Suornus.
salmi itself captured five tanks and
two armored cars.
The Finnish victory at Lake XII
anita actually was a three-week
series Of fights and ambush along
the west side and north ana south
of the tip Of the lake, which Is 80
miles long and about two to four
miles wide. The lake is about 20
miles west Of the Russian border.
In putting to rout the democrat
ICED Russian army, the Firms suf-
fered only 100 casualties, including
wounded and sick.
The defenders, who grew up In
this country and know every inch
of the terrain, moved about the
heavy forests on skis camouflaged
with all-over white suits and
hoods.
The Russians, following an open
road into the trap laid by the
Firms, wore dark uniforms and
were good targets.
Column Caught
A Soviet supply column was
caught about midway along the
lake on the night Of Dec. rs and
the decisive battle ended Dec. 81
with the destruction of Russian
fortified positions on the lakes
northern end.
In three weeks Of slicing ma.
ne4yers the Firms had cut up tho
northern and southern segmenta
of the Red army division which at
some points had pushed 30 miles
into Finland.
Finnish army commanders said
the spoils Of the final victory In.
cluded $50 Russian trucks, 400 to
500 wagons, Is tanks, four anti.
aircraft machine guns. more than
800 horses, ~ field cannon, much
medical material, radio apparatus
and field kitchens.
Walking the two-mile length OF
the shattered Soviet supply COL
umn, I saw seven tanks, including
two large ones carrying crews OF
four to five men. Four carried
two-man crews.
I also saw a light amphibian
which had been moved some miles
away along with much of the 9TH
er spoils, including truckloads Of
boots, gas masks and other equip
ment.
One armored car had been blown
up by mines.
There was a seemingly endless
line Of wagons, many with theil
dead horses sprawled grotesquely
in the snow.
In many Of the rolling fielt
kitchens was a frozen, stew-lik,
food. Interspersed in the line oil
wagons was an occasional truck,
motor silenced and driver blown
to pieces by a Finnish shell.
One such truck was 4 light con
veyance, its interior piled high
with red banners and printed mat
ter. This was the divisions propa-
