Statewide liquor vote debate advances in North Carolina
Hearing before the House Committee on Propositions and Grievances drew about 30 observers as Rep Sidney Britt League backs a statewide liquor referendum. Rep Marcellus Buchanan warns the bill could force liquor stores in Jackson if the state votes wet. Chairman Dwight Quinn postponed a vote, with local ABC store bills for Southport and Wilkesboro also under consideration and ABC boards opposing. Bootlegger roundups in Charlotte are cited by both sides. Paul R. Ervin argues ABC stores do not curb illegal liquor traffic.
