The collections for December,
1906, amounted to $143,835.10, the
increase for the past December
being $61,278.05. The greatest
increase seems to be on spirits.
Notwithstanding the advance in
the prohibition wave more tax is
being paid on liquor in the west
ern district of North Carolina than
everbefore. The 'taxes paid on
spirits in December' exceeded the
amount paid in .December, 19o6,
by $16,36o.96. Four orfiveyears
ago the taxes onspiritsjin any one
month- rarely preached $4o,ooo.
Now the amount has increased
morethan.75 percent.
The residence ofjBen Bell, near
Turnersburg.Jwasfentered Tuesday
afternoon and about $25o ;in cash
stolen. Mr. Bell was at work on
his farm and hischildren were in
school. The house was locked but
a window was forced open, the
place entered and the money tak
en from a trunk. So far as known
nothing else in the house was dis
turbed. The robbery occurred
some time between 2 and 4 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon and the thief
was of course familiar with the
premises and knew that Mr. Bell
had money. So far no arrests
have been made.

Some Interesting Comments in Regard to
the Prohibition Election by a "Wet."
Salisbury, N. C, Jan. 3 The
announcement that three months
from tomorrow there will be an
election on prohibition or saloons,
has caused no little anxiety
among the whiskey dealers.
In no town of the state is there
so much at stake in the liquor
business. Besides the thirteen
saloons, there are five distilleries,
as many wholesale houses and
some of the dethronel Georgia li
quor dealers have made arrange
ments for the opening of package
houses soon after the first of this
year.
The immensity of the traffic in
Saisbury is not understood by the
state at large. That it runsweek
ly close to 20,ooo gallons, is not
to be denied. Every train on the
Southern can now be called the
"booze speeial," ; the official title
of No. 7, for a long time. The
southbound trains Especially go
heavy-laden and the amount con
sumed in dry territory is almost
fabulous.
A newspaper man last year gave
out figures that almost staggered
the community and although
there was great protest from theJ
dealers, it developed that in, a
clever way he had obtained his
estimates from the wholesale men.
One of these declared that no less
than $l,5oo,ooo in whiskey camel
to Salisbury from home and
abroad, are more than the million
being from other places. One day
recently, the postoffice people
haudled 2.ooo money orders
through the mails and it is known
that many checks were sent a the
same time. The jug brokerage is
great and the suit caee carriers are
numerous
Dealers love to tell of
the bottles that come from Char
lotte and Greensboro, it being a
frequent thing to see enough to
handle l,5oo gallons of whisk ?y
conie from Charlotte to a retail
dealer. Dry territory offends
much here.

capped in the fight by two things.

though, he said he got enough.
There bad been a wreck near town

filled it full, and then, sneak

He says he hasn't wanted any

It is with much pleasure that we
receive the news of the decline of

couldn't get enough of the bears.
This year they are a drug on the
market, very few being Bold.
Christmas left the shelves loaded
down with them. We haven't
a thing against the bear, but can't
abide the Teddy part, and seeing
them and reading forever of them
tends toward weariness.
