North Carolina Faces Complex Liquor Laws in Session
The upcoming General Assembly must cope with a tangled system of liquor rules from prohibition to local option. The state bans liquor sales in 1923 and authorized state stores in 1937, yet public drinking remains a patchwork.

Starting pay for policemen climbs from 400 to 420 dollars monthly and firemen from 380 to 400, with next bracket gains about five percent. The move, not across the board, aims to improve staffing and retain capable municipal workers amid prior July raises and looming council pay reviews.
