is RALEIGH As
DRY AS THIS !?
Is $4,000 all Our Dealers
Paid Out for Liquor?
ALL FOR SIX MONTHS =?
The Raleigh Dealers Told the Commissioners
Yesterday That the Purchases as Lis
ted Included the Distil-

Nearly all of the retail liquor dealers
Of Raleigh appeared before the County
Commissioners yesterday, in accordance
with the summons issued the other day,
to explain upon what basis they have
been paying the purchase tax, whether
upon the whole cost of the liquor, or
upon the cost minus the distller's tax to
the government.
That is, are they paying the four per
cent. tax upon whiskey at s1.25 gallon
or at Is cents gallon, for the govern
ment tax paid by the distillers is sl.1O
a gallon?
The Supreme Court recently held in
the Williams case from Iredell that the
distiller's tax could be considered in no
other way than as part of the purchase
price paid by the retailers.
The Raleigh dealers yesterday all told
the Commissioners that they had been
giving in their returns according TO law,
considering the government tax as part
of their purchase price; that is, paying
tax on whiskey at $125 a gallon and not
at Is cents a gallon.
Mcssrs. J. r. Ferrall and j. ID. Carroll,
however, said that on few lots they
had not considered that they were COM
pelled to pay upon the government tax
These were lots they had bought in
bonded warehouses, and upon which they
OF course had TO pay the tax to get them
out. The board allowed these two deal
ers to amend their returns. Mr. Carroll
added $50 to his, and Mr.. Ferrall will
add something to his; but did not know
without more time to figure just what
ii would amount to.
With the above exceptions. the returns
for the six months ending January 1st,
1903, were declared by the dealers TO be
the true amounts paid for liquor bought,
including the distiller's tax.
Here are the purchases as given in by
