Prosecutions. , , .J . Certain people right hers In patrio tic Gaston count are gnllty of ; latlng the Ur by boarding foodstuffs, ' especially.: flour. , This fact : was brought td , the ' attention of the eounty . food administrator, " Cot C. B. ; Armstrong, yesterday. To a Gazette reporter CoL Arm strong ? stated that such violations would be investigated In fact an in Teatlgatlon is now In progress. , As a result It would not be surprising learn of prosecutions being Instituted id the county by State. Food" Admin istrator. Page. ' ' k ' Just how many cases of Tlolatlons of this character the investigation . will turn up there Is no way of know ing. It is not believed, however, that there will be found very many of them. ." : "i So far the most flagrant violations reported are in South Point town ship. It Is learned that one farmer In that township has purchased and hauled home, 12 barrels - or about 2,400 pounds of flour. He has a small family smaller than the aver age -and this amount of flour , will last him 24 months that is if he keeps It, which is althogether doubt ful.; Another farmer in the' same township has bought and carried home five barrels or 1,000 pounds of flour, enough to supply his family for 11 or 12 months. It is under stood that In both of these cases, the farmers bought the entire lots from one firm. If this be true the firm as 'well as the purchasers is likely to get into 'trouble. : ' - "Therd Is plenty of foodstuff," said Col.: Armstrong to The Gazette man yesterday, "and I cannot under stand why anybody, and especially a farmer, would be so unpatriotic at this time as to be guilty of hoarding flour or any other foodstuffs. No body Is going, to suffer. Of course, it's up to every person In the coun try to economize and save every ounce of foodstuff possible, but there's no use of anybody getting scared. If all the people who have the money to do it go out and buy up a lot of flour and other foodstuffs and hoard it; the man who is working tor wages and who has to . buy in small quanta ties will .have to suffer. It is to prevent that very thing that tne food administration has laid down certain laws. Those who violate those .laws are running a great risk. I hope that anybody who has been thinking of doing such things will de cide right now not to do so. . Such a decision will save them and ; tne food administrator . both trouble." In this connection the two follow ing communications from the office of State Food Administrator Henry A. Page at Raleigh are very tlmeiy: BIG PENALTY PROVIDED. Special to The Gazette. ..; :: RALEIGH, Jan. 19. - As a result lot a number of instances of large purchases of foodstuffs reported to It, the Food Adminstratlon has Is sued a letter to all retailers In North Carolina calling attention to the penalty fixed for hoarding. This penalty Is a fine of $5,000' or two years imprisonment, or both, togeth er .with the confiscation of the goods hoarded.-. -;- ; In the letter issued to dealers, Mr. Page cam the attention of the mer chants to their own liability In the following paragraph. v.y 71 ."I have information that a number of our people, no doubt through ig norance of the law and possibly fol lowing the custom of years, are pur chasing larger quantities - of food stuffs then ; they require for a reasonable period, and I am writing this letter to you in their Interest and also for your protection because any ' merchant who sells excessive amounts of foodstuffs with knowledge that they are in excess of the require ments of the purchaser for a reason able time is aiding and abetting the violator of the law and makes him self, liable.; - 1. ;T " Hoarding Is foolish, sefish and all but traitorous because the Food Ad ministration is keeping accurate re cords of the available supply of all foodstuffs In this country and are re leasing It for export only as fast as it may . be sent after home require ments are provided for. r , GOING AFTER HOARDERS WITH. GLOVES OFF. Special to The Gazette. - ' " -' RALEIGH, Jan. 21. North Caro- Unlans who ' have been purchasing food commodities in larger Quantities than their -immediate requirements have a rude awakening , coming to them. i .". v.'- Realizing that this practice would disarrange all calculations of avail able food supplies and that it Is self ish and unpatriotic in the extreme, mo c uuu AuuiiuuuMivu IB guuig al ter these fellows with gloves off. The co-operation of the United States Secret Service is being used in in vestigating this matter and Mr. '-Geo. H. Humber of .the Food Administra tion' staff la also devoting a consid erable part of his time to invest! gatlons. .State Food Administrator Henry A Page has ruled that flour shall be retailed to city or town consumers in quantities not exceeding half a bar rel and to rural consumers Hi quanti ties not exceeding one barrel. These maximums are larger than are being allowed In most States. tiugar must be retailed in quantities not ex ceeding 10 pounds to the rural trade and 5 pounds to town or city trade. The Food Administration frankly states that its desire is not to prose cute but to secure an enforcement of the law. Consumers who, because or Ignorance or for other reasons have purchased food commodities in larger quantities than are allowed need fear no prosecution if they promptly distribute their surplus above the quantities allowed and report tne matter, to their County Food Admin istrator or to the Food Administra tion at Raleigh. Those who attempt to hoard in spite of all warnings win be dealt with according to the law, which provides a penalty of $5,009 or . two years imprisonment or botn in addition to the confiscation of the goods hoarded. ' J. HOLLAND IMOW MAY RUII FOR CLERK'S OFFICE Mr. J. Holland Morrow, a well known knight of the grip of Gastonia, is being talked of as a possible candi date for the position of clerk of tne court. Numbers of Mr. Morrow's friends are urging him to make the race. Asked by The Gazette as. to whether he was a candidate or not, Mr. Morrow stated that he had the matter under consideration but had not yet decided as to his course In the matter. Mr. Morrow is a native of Gastonia and has for a number or years past been a popular traveling salesman. He has a large number of friends over the county who will be Interested in knowing that he Is thinking of making this race. IM THE STREET' HAD 9 1-2 DOZEN EGGS A man with nine and a half dozen eggs all In one basket Is counted a regular Croesus at the present time. John . Rockef Her. Andrew Carnegie and all the bloated bondholders haven't a thing on him right now. According to the egg-standard Gas tonia has a millionaire in the person of Mr. Mose Mauney, the drayman. He sauntered down town this morn ing from his home in West Gastonia, carrying a water bucket full of One fresh eggs, nine and a half dozen. Strange to say he did not have a body guard and was not set upon by an ;)gg-hnngry mob, but he neverthe ess attracted no small amount of at tention. - Mr. Mauney was enroute to the Armington hotel where he de livered the eggs, receiving thereror 70 cents per dozen or $6.65 for the bucketfull. The retail price of eggs, however, is 75 cents. "I remember the time", said Mr. Mauney to The Gazette man this morning, "when I " bought three dozen eggs for ten cents, and I'm not a hundred years old yet by several months'. Mr. Mauney has about 300 hens and gets about 50 eggs per day. Of course, during the present severe Veather, his hens are not do ing much laying. "We have -six eggs for breakfast every morning," he said, whereupon the poultry edi tor, who handn't eaten an egg since Heck 'was a pup, fainted and had to be carried to the hospital.
