FRIDAY, NOV. 16, 1917 THE ASIIEVILLE TIMES. PAGE SEVEN a 0 a T& Si Coughs r E . E i FROM one generation to another, this old reliable remedy for Bronchial affections has been recom mended. Grandmother knows that Dr. King's New Dis covery will stop the couch. zAjtsi ALLEGED BLOCKADE!) Quill Moore of Graham Co. ; Pleads Guilty in , U.S. Court : Most of the morning session of Dis trict court was tafcen up with the trial of Quill Moore and Bert Mash burn, both of Graham county, indicted for alleged activities in moonshlning. At noon Judge Boyd gave the case as to Mashburn to the jury, Moore having entered a plea of submission through his attorney. Moore was given a year and a. day in jail and $100 tine; his prison term begins February Perhaps one reason why Moore made no more vigorous effort to de fend himself from the charge of block ading Is the fact that when he was arrested by revenue officers he had discarded the ordinary costume of man and wore a dress that he prob ably trusted to help him prove an alibi, at least if he was seen only from a distance. The still was found about 125 yards from Quill's house, accord ing to the witnesses who were Division Deputy Collectocr J. S. Robinson, Sheriff Carrlnger of Pwain county, and Deputy Sheriff Penland. It is consid ered more than probable that Quill didn't want to attempt to explain on the witness stand to Judge Boyd why he wore a dress that day. Mashburn claims that he knew nothing about the still; he had been invited to go up and have a drink of beer and was there when the officers made the raid which captured him and Moore. Sheriff Carrlnger is a terror to blockaders in the western counties, and his friends do not hesitate to say that he is the best sheriff in North Carolina. Mistrials were ordered yesterday In the cases against Tom Watts and Dan Shook? each charged with violations of the internal revenue laws. Robert Williams was found not guilty of dis tilling. 1 W. P. Routhen, and IAaao Johnson, the latter a half-breed, were , sentenced to one month in jail and lined $100. . GREATER HUMAN ECONOMY PLANNED London, Nov. 16. Sir A. Ci.

The enemy rear guard has taken up a desperate resistance, ap parently realizing that distance and the lack of proper communication will not stop the British advance and therefore It is determined to die game. "At Burkah, the Scottish troops who had raptured the ridge were counter attacked so vigorously that they were obliged to yield some ground, which afterward was recovered. Neverthe less the Turks made a second counter attack, but again their temporary suc cess was converted into defeat and they finally were driven off with heavy losses. .

More prisoners were brought in today bringing the total beyond 6,000 while with four guns dis covered yesterday a total of ninety has been reached.

Police Chief John A. Lyerly today expressed appreciation for the courtesy and con sideration with which a large majority of the people have received the new regulations. There have been a few, only a few, people who have resented what they termed an abrogation of their rights as citizens on the highways, but for the most part the public is co-operating with the department of public safety in its plans to safeguard life and limb on the s reets. Extra police men have been assigned to the con gested district recently to call at tention to the traffic lines, but with in a few days these men will have to be returned to their regular beats and tho department will have to depend largely upon the public to observe the rules for pedestrians. In laying off the crossings in white lines the department of public safety is following the example of approxi mately 100 cities that have found this plan necessary and satisfactory. The steady increase of traffic In cities has made such regulations imperative and the police department believes that Asheville people will soon become ac customed to what was considered by a "wilful few" as drastic interference with personal liberty. illilllilllllllilllH Offices at Wlnttoft-Salam Asheville High Paint Salisbury North Caret) n a rilllllll!llllllill!il!i!lllI!lI!I!llll!IIIini!!!l!lll!l!IiIII!IIilIIIIIIH g in Soap 5c a Cake Ladies' Wash Waists Our sizes are somewhat broken, but if your size happens to be the style you like, you can get it Saturday 98c for....,..,.........,....;..
