NEW LIQUOR LAWS
TO PREVENT SALES
Liics Measure Provides Chaingang
Sentence For
I '
Violations.
"'hero are three principal anti-liijuor
bills passed by tile 19ih legislature:
One is known as the Idles bill
and provides a ehaingyng sentence
f<? tiie person convicted of selling
liquors; this measure has been signed
, by the governor and is now in force;
| the second bill is Senator Carlisle's
2-quurts-a-month bill, which has not
been signed by Gov. Manning and will
not become effective until 20 days
after his signature . The third is the
measures by Senators Carlisle and
.Johnstone for the purpose of validating
the prohibition referendum election
last September; tnis bill when
signed will go into effect at once.
In lieu of the two quarts of spirituous
liquors the consignee may purchase
00 pints of beer, which contain
not more than 5 per cent, of
alcohol, in any one calendar month.
"And it shall be unlawful to have
such liquors and beverages except for
one's own personal use, or that of his
immediate family, and then only ai
his usual place of residence," the hill
provides. It is specifically provided
that it shall he unlawful to store such
liquors in any building in which is
conducted a cafe, restaurant, club, social
club, or "similar resort."
The common carriers through
which the liquors are transported are
required to keep a correct record of
all consignees and file monthly a
statement either with the judge of
probate or the clerk of court; in Rich
land county this report is given to the
clerk of court. Peace officers are given
authority to examine the records
in the office of the common carrier.
It is further provided that the possession
by any one person of more
than two quarts of liquors or the "pos
session of anv such linuors or hov??r- I
ages by any one person at any place
other than his or her usual residence/
or the signing' of another's name as a
consignee shall be prima facie evidence
of violation of the law.
Any person, firm or corporation
convicted of violating the two-quartsa-month
bill must suffer punishment
for first offense of a fine of not less
than $100 nor more than $500, or im-!
prisonmcnt for not less than MO days'
nor more than six months; and for the
second and every subsequent offense
a fine of not less than $100 nor more
than $5,000 and imprisonment for
not less than six months nor more
than two years. Sacramental wines
arc exempted.
Wholesale druggists are given the
right to sell to retail druggists and
hospitals any quantity of pure alcohol
for medicinal purposes only, provided
that a monthly statement of such
sales are filed with the clerk of court.
Before selling pure alcohol for medicinal
purposes, a retail druggist must
1 file a bond of $1,000 and fill only j
those prescriptions made by a regu-'
lar practicing physician of the State.
I Such prescription must be filed either
oil the day of or the day after it is issued
by a physician and may not be
filled at drug store in which the phy!
sician is financially interested.
Manufacturers of ginger-ale in
purchasing pure alcohol must first
file a bond of $1,000; such a product
1 may not contain more than one-tenth
of one per cent, of alcohol.
The provision regarding the label;
ing of satchels containing liquor was
| stricken out in free conference,
though the section passed through
both houses.

The Savannah wrecking company
which was to attempt the salvage of
the wrecked schooner Emily I. White

" SCORES IN MAN HUNT j
IN SOUTH MOUNTAINS
i
Charlie Mace of Burke County,!
N. C., And Says He Wiii
Not Be Taken.
Morgan ton, N. C.?Another horrible
tragedy has been added to the
alieady large list of the South Mountain
section of this county, the wife
of Charlio Mace having been shot *<
death by her husband, after he had!
driven his terrified children from the I
homo Monday night. Scores * !' men j
arc hunting Mare for whom a reward
is offered.
As usual, the news was slow in
coming in from this section. The
children, it is said, spent the night '
out of doors and a neighbor was toid
Tuesday morning by Mace tiiat his
wife had killed herself. Asked why
ho had not notified anyone, he is reported
to have said that he didn't
"want anybody to know it."
The neighbor, however, notified
others and the officers were informed.
Sheriff Merry, Deputies Hallman and
Pipkin went to the scene. Mace, seeing
them approach, armed himself
heavily and left. A little later his
dog was placed on his scent and Deputy
Pipkin caught sight of Mace
and fired on him once, but the officers
gun was of too light a caliber to
bo effective at the ditsancc. Mace
then disappeared over a ridge and
was gone.
The coroner's investigation showed
that the wound was caused by a gunshot
fired from a greater distance
than would have been the case had
there been a suicide and that an attempt
had been made to fill the bullet
hole with flour. It was also in
evidence that Mace had threatened

that they had heard a scuffle and a
shot, although they did not know that
their mother was dead until the next
morning.
Sheriff Berry sent an automobile
back to town for more officers, organized
a small posse and searched for
the fugitive. Lookouts were posted
on elevations where knowledge might
be gained if Mace built a fire. At
midnight Sheriff Berry returned to
Morganton for more men and early
organized a posse of about 80, according
to phone messages.
Mace was seen near Amos Huffman's
near St. John's church, two or
three miles ahead of the p:\sse. Leaving
there he is said to have called j
back that he would die before he'd let
himself be taken.

He was cleared by the jury.

vs Zade Bultkin and Jesse Hodges,
charged with assault and battrey with
intent to kill. To the surprise of many
the defendant Zade BufFkin pleaded
guilty to the indictment. Jesse
Hodges stood trial. This difficulty
happened on the heels of an attempt
by Miss Lilly Hodge and Brooks
Strickland to get a license to marry.
Miss Hodge left the home of her father
Jesse Hodge in the early morning
in company with Strickland to come
to Conway to get a license to marry.
They passed the home of John Grainger
who came with them to Conway.
The father of the girl telephoned
ahead to Conway and the license was
refused. Strickland then returned
toward home in company with the
young lady and Grainger. As the
unco wore driving: along: the road,
Jesse Hodge and Zade BufTkin came
out to the road and while Jesse Hodge
went off with his daughter, Zade
Buffkin shot Brooks Strickland, hitting
him in the thigh. Later his leg
was amputated.
Zade Buffkin was sentenced to 3

Hedge was cleared.
The State vs. W. P. Floyd was then
tried. The prosecutor in this case
was Joe Smith, who sued the defendant
in the court of Common Picas

raised on Floyd's place by Smith.
Smith got a judgment for $150.00
against W. P. Floyd which was not
collected. The case in the criminal
