Be a "Big Day"
Clerks Rushed.
Brought In on almost every train,
transferred to the uptown office, of the
Southern Express company by extra
drays, handled by extra clerks, Ashe-
ville Is being flooded with whiskey, or
dered by hundreds ot people In this
city and nearby country places -for
Christmas. The amount being recelv
ed by the Southern Express company
this year, while at Ails time It Is hot
known whether or not It Is larger than
previous years, is enormous neverthe
less. ....
From the opening: of the uptown
office of the express company at 7:30
o'clock each morning until the close
at 7 o'clock In the evening the place Is
filled, "crowded to the guards," with
people from almost every walk of life,
pushing, jostling, talking and de
manding their "wet goods." While
the people come early and stay late In
order to secure the packages shipped
to them, the largest crowds are in the
afternoon, when most of the trains
brineinq- whiskey here have arrived.
The big rush bepran yesterday, Is on
a?ain today and will continue through
tomorrow, according to an official ot
the company who was seen by a Ga
rette-N"'Ws representative this morn
ins. Top iarsrest crowd of the week te

eisrht and fpn rteen around the coun
ters tn ret their llnuor. ' The favorite
eproslnn fem to be. "Pav Bill, have
yen cot yo' Christmas yet?"
J. T. James, local atrent for the
Southern Express company, said today
that at this time It was impossible to
give any facts or figure as to the
amount of llnuor that is being received
In Arhpvllle during Christmas week, as
all of his force Is so busy In handing-
out the "wet goods" time could not be
Riven for a tabulation of figures. He
did not know whether this year's ship
ments would be larger or smaller than
Inst year's, but a visit to the offlce will
easily convince one that the amount
is large, whether records are broken
or not. On every aide, behind the
counters, are stacked boxes, cartons,
harrels and Jugs containing the llauor.
The smaller package are there by
me nundreds and more comes on In
every train. It accumulates faster
than it can be handed out.
While Ashevllle is wet this week and
ver" wet, it Is by no means the wetest
pot in North Carolina, for reports re-
-ea nere from Greensboro are to
uit effect that Guilford county, aup
vtea io be much driei" than Bun

Immediately after announcement
of the vote the house aujourneu, tha
crowd that bad packed ihe galleries
throughout the prolonged debate dis
persing wuh 'mingled xpressions ot
regret and jubilation.
Prohibition leaaers declared the
vote of 197 for the resolution had
come up to their expectations, as
they had 'not expected a two-thirds
majority. Whether a similar resolu
tion submitted by Senator Sheppard,
ot Texas, would reach a vote In the
Benate at this session was not certain
last night Administration leaders
were Inclined to believe it would not
because it would not pass the house.
Notwithstanding repeated public as
sertions that many members of the
house would try to dodge a record
vote, the roll call disclosed a heavy
attendance, larger than the average
throughout the session. To have car
ried the house the Hobson resolution
would have required 258 affirmative
votes. It, thus failed to carry by (1
votes.
