As Mailings Are Speeded Merchants Feeling Im petus of Christmas Buying; Postal Activ ity Also Increasing Sharply in Outgoing Packages. Fair, mild weather has brought a decided upturn this week in the volume of holiday buying in loea! stores, and merchants are experienc i g a l;;rger measure of shopping \olume than at any other period of the fall season, according to some who have commented on their sales lately. A less active tobacco market than in some other selling seasons has -lowed down retail business during ■ the fall, in view of the sharply eur i tailed volume of leaf grown this \ car. This has in some degree been offset by industrial upturns, as local [ manufacturers have found themsel ves hard pressed to keep up with i.rii.i «r ' ■.»?] t.i lull k..;.c . fni ;d rafiacil v l«• f •«#nit* fin• t■: j At Hit* |mi; I I"c*.--1f11:i:Ic-1 .T. | I!

Ajeoa Case j Not Closed j Daily Dispatch Bureau, j in the Sir Walter Ifolel. By IltiN'RY AVKKILL. Raleigh, Dec. 18.—The U. S. Su-i preme court ruling vesting the Fed trnl Power Commission with com plete jurisdiction over hydro-electric projects would seem, on its face, i<> sound the death knell of the Alumi num Company of America's project for a big dam and development, at Fontana, on the Little Tennessee. Behind the scenes, however, there i> being exerted a lot of pressure de ; igned to bring a loosening up of the F. P. C. to the extent that it declare the Little Tennessee not to be one of Ihe streams on which a federal li cense is required. The "defense" argument will be used. National defense authorities are known to be strongly wedded to an increase in hydro electric plants and production of power, and it is hoped that the power czars can be prevailed on to ease up and let Alcoti ■ go ahead with the project which I would mean expenditure of approxi j mately $15,000,000 in erecting a big , dam in Graham and Swain counties. As matters stand it's "no go" as far as th* company is concerned. The J F. P. C. has ruled it must have a fed j eral license, and the aluminum peo ! pie haven't the faintest idea of risk i mg $15,000,000 under conditions | which they feel make it possible for ihe Federal government arbitrarily rc: confiscate- th*-lr propmy 31 the cf..i «»t till yciu In 11 iO I'iDIiH' <*il "ilt-lonfe", 11n* F.
