Investigation questions liquor tied prescriptions in Mount Airy
An editorial condemns a yearlong pattern of about six thousand prescriptions written by doctors and filled at three drug stores. It argues doctors aid liquor consumption, criticizes law enforcement, and calls for action to restore law and order, noting licensing measures in Statesville and Monroe as possible solutions. The piece also reviews Floyd Featherston Co. musical entertainment and mentions tickets at Ashcraft's.

Prescription for liquor reveals lax liquor laws in state
A drugstore scene shows a doctor prescribing liquor as a meal aid for a bedridden wife and newborn, a practice framed as satisfying public demand rather than medical necessity. The account notes weak enforcement of liquor laws, yet reports a local judge praised for fairness and mentions community notices from Rockford Route 1 about residents, visits, and a school term ending.
