Wished' !h Christian tAct wa upon the case to decide the guilt or. inpocence of the persons accused. ' In every case, the police came to me and 'suggested a search and seizure warrant, I have discussed the facts surrounding the cascs only sufficient enough to ascertain whether there was cause to Issue the warrant, and I tried to limit my Investigation to that point, so as not to go ahead and get facts and make, up my mind as to the guilt or Innocence of any mind as to the guilt or inpocence of any man before trial. With the human element In any man or judge It Is hard to bring a man Into court and try him after th facts. are known to the court. "With reference to the Investiga tion, while Judge Carter has done a most commendable thing, and I don't believe there Is a good citizen In Ashe ville who Is not in sympathy with it, I would like to call attention to the committee of the fact that a detective was employed for the express purpose of getting evidence against those drui stores and to ferret out Illegal sales. A temporary report was made and Mr, Grimes, prescription clerk at the Lan- sren drug store, was arrested ana me cases came on for trial, and we adopt ed the same methods as were -adopted by Judge Carter that is, in aacimon to the proof of an actual sale, the ."o eords of the freight and express com pany were brought Into court, giving the amount of Intoxicating liquors received by the Langren drug store and the amount sold on prescription during the same period of time. A complete tabulated list of the receipts of tlquor and the amount sola on pre scription showed that there was some thlna- Hke 8000 or 10,000 gallons un accounted for; The defendant Intro duced no evidence, but relied upon discrediting the detective. Reed. I found the defendant guilty I" two oases and entered a fine of 1500 In each case. He appealed and when the cases came up for trial In the Superior court the only evidence mtroaucea ; Ihnt of Detective Reed and no effort was made to Introduce the re xnrds of the freight and express com nunio.' offices. The Jury went out and returned a verdict of not guilty, as thav nrnhnblv should have done. As m that I have nothing to say. "Now, with reference to the city's nitnuile: Soon after I was first put In as police Judge the .police, wanted to go after the Battery Park hotel. I think It was Ed. McConnell, I'm not sure, came to me and got a search aad etxure- warrant for the hotel. They marl a. raid and found a small quan tlty of liquor. We had the case of iha at t ualnst Alman. He woe rinrf. nnnvlL-led and sentenced to wir on the county roads. He appeal ed and the Superior court let him off with the- Dayment of a nominal nne, hr.ni it on. Ho far as the power ( (he polka court to make an invnstiga tlon such as Judge Carter has madu; so far as the law Is concerned, 1 take It that the police court has the same power that Judge Carter has to Issue subpoenas to witnesses to come n and testify, but I have always felt that If an Investigation of this sort wer started, owing to the limited power of the police court, those witnesses would be taken off by writs of habeas corpus, and, besides, an Investigation of this sort would have necessitated the board of aldermen setting sslde 11000 of SltOO to make the Investigation. I base this estimate upon the amount! estimated by Judge, Carter,, as I per sonally would be unable to make an estimate of the cost of such an inves tigation.' , ' Any fine which might have been Imposed as a result of a trial and conviction growing out of thesf investigations would be turned over to j the county school board and the city would only Indirectly be benefited by the- fines. In case of road sentences the city would have received no benefit Whatever. Under such a condition of things I know it has always been the opinion of the city officials that the county "officials shquild shoulder a larne1, amount of the expense of the enforcement of the prohibition laws. As I understand It, they have nevnr been able to get the county to co operate to this extent. I know that the city has from time to time em ployed detectives to ferret out viola tions of the liquor law; and, in a num ber of instances, I know of policemen who are working on a salary of 170 per month having taken money out of their own pockets and used it for the purpose of trying to catch violators of the liquor law. I don t know how many Instances I know of this sort, of the police taking the money, out of their own pockets to use In this way. but I have thought that it was an In justice to them and to their families, and have so expressed myself to (hem. going so far as to tell them that I did not think it was right for them to use their own money for this purpose. In addition to this, while no definite expression has been made. It has been the general understanding In the city administration. If I be correctly In formed, that the drug store licenses as issued would not bo renewed on the first of January on account of the vio lation of the prohibition law that is, with possibly one exception, it was Impossible to do anything with the search and seizure law so far as the drug stores were concerned, on ac count of the fact that they were abso lutely protected by their licenses.' understand there waa some difficulty about the Iangren drug store lluet'i, and they have had no license for month or two, but I didn't know It until this Investigation brought it jut. "In any number of cases the police have oome to me with facta which show that certain men have purchased whiskey Illegally at one of the drug stores, and In those cases subpoenas ad testificandum were Issued for those men, and they were- brought Into court Without one exception those men have given the drug store a clean bill of health. I cannot recall spectno instances, but I remember two or thres. . "So far as the effort to locate the places-where liquor Is Illegally sold Is concerned, there Is hardly a court held where defendants arrested for being drunk are not asked the question as to where they bought the liquor. In a number of Instances this is not done, because it Is fruitless and un availing, and the efforts serve no pur pose except to make liars of men. 1 suppose I have asked that question during the last two years perhaps thousand times, and out of Uiose questions perhaps not more than two or three casee for the illegal sale of liquor have resulted."

Per your bl-.r,-?lH HOOlf ARE Jn Nearly oil the streets in the busl ness section of the city that do not come within the traffic law, those where a team can stand more than 15 minutes in the same place with' out violating the law, are crowded this week with wagons , from the country that are loaded with Christ mas trees, holly and mlrtletoe. O Collo'e street, from Haywool street to Lexington avenue, doubtless this afternoon there will be wagons load ed down with the small cedars and pines that are sold to - people to be used as trees In their famlles dur ing the holidays. Both sides of this street are crowded with the wagons, and those wo do not have a team se their wares from the sidewalk. In and out among the wagons go ' the people who desire to purchase a tree, some holly or mistletoe, and one can hear all sorts of trades going on. The man or woman with the trees Is try! Ing to sell them for all they can get and the prospective purchaser la try. ing to buy as cheap as possible. Many, unique experiences are re lated" by those who have the trees for sale, In telling how they scaled mountain side to get certain little trees or climbed up large trees to get mistletoe and hollq. One man In tell Ing of his experiences in gathering holly, said that In climbing over th mountain sides after the "bush with the red berry" that he slipped on "rolling stone" and down the moun tain side he went for about 40 or SO feet before he could stop and then he would doubtless have, gone still farther had he not suddenly hit against a small tree and caught He said that the fall "addled" him for a few minutes but that he had trouble in climbing back up the mountain In search of the holly. Several hundreds ol dollars are spent each season by Asheville people for these trees, holly and . mistletoe and the business of selling them Is growing each year, the dealers says.

' Forest City Dec. 20 At a call ! meeting recently at the Hotel Mabree the business men came together and started a movement to add another cotton mill to the Industries. At the present time the town is baiily In need of such an Industry and the cltizons seem to realize the fact. Af eer several short speeches a subscrip tion of stock was taken. The entire amount of stock taken by the town citizens was between $30,000 and 140,000. This subscription was made In order to show that the town is in terested and an inducement will be made to any firm or corporation that wishes to take the matter up.
