Whiskey Sale Disputed as North Carolina ABC Boards Restitution
Halifax County ABC deposited 915,133.34 in the Bank of Enfield to credit its board after a car load of whiskey deemed not good enough for North Carolina was sold in South Carolina for the same amount. John F. White, former ABC manager, says Halifax has its money back but no whiskey, prompting calls for answers from County ABC Chairman G. H. Johnson and State Chairman Carl Williamson and contributing to White’s resignation. A correction notes a Raleigh visit by Johnson and others regarding the purchase from Eastern Distilled Spirits.
