GETS INFORMATION r ' FROM THE RECORDS Beads Records of Druggists of Whiskey Bought and the Prescriptions Filled The Figures Announcements made this morning hv Juda-e Frank Carter, sitting as a mmitting magistrate in tne lnvesti ration into alleged . Violations of the prohibition law in Asnevme ana Bun combe county, relative to the disclos ures made by the records' compiled of whiskey shipments into the city and countv during the past 10 months were of a rather startling nature. The records of the Southern railway com Dany for this period, he said, show that over 90,000 gallons of Intoxicants were shipped Into the county. ' He es timated thai, according to these rec ords and figuring on an annual basts, over 100,000 gallons of intoxicants are shipped into Ashevllle ' and Bllt more annually, and almost . 110,600 Into the county. this total amount. Judge Carter j Of estimated that 60,000 gallons are dls posed of by the large dealers, with an approximate profit of 1 1 a gallon, thus clearing for them 18,000 annual ly. In this connection, he said that the men now charged with violat ing the law represent property in the aggregate of more than-a million dol lars, besides having political and so cial position. . He spoke of the diffi culties of carrying on an Investigation against such defendants," and Inclderf-' tally congratulated them that ' their interests are so' wetl safeguarded. , , v Judge Carter ' stated that the fact that they are 'being prosecuted does not mean that' they: are: - guilty,, but that in case they' are- convicted he fears that even the extensive power of the governor could not secure for them fair Judgments,' as there la not a Judge on the bench of North Caro lina who would have the temerity to i impose Voad sentnecea. Some of those who heard these remarks of the court construed the reference to "fair Judg ment" as an ironical allusion-to the statement of Gov. Craig. Whoever Is responsible for this wholesale traffic however, merits a chtln gang sentence as much as the small Scaler, Judge Carter said: As to Sentences. ,. Judge Carter expressed the further opinion that if a Judge could be found to convict men of wealth and politi cal Influence and Impose such senten ces as they deserve then the "nice people of the community" would pray the governor with one accord to com mute such sentences to a. pecuniary basis. Any pecuniary penalties that may be Imposed in this Investigation, he said, would not amount to 10 per cent of the profits made by the de fendants In this traffic. , As a concrete . illustration of the mount of whiskey that is shipped in to Ashevllle and Blltmore annually, Judge Carter said that it'' the 2000 barrels, which is the amount estimat ed, each barrel averaging four feet In height, were stacked one upon the other on Pack square, there would be ISO columns ss high as Vance monu ment; 20 columns as high as the Washington monument; 60 as high as the Bunker Hill monument: and 12 m high as the Eiffel tower, the high est In the world.
