the duty of the two p,wers for a

DISAPPEARING COLLECTIONS.
Some Stralgh Statistics Showing The Re-

At least in one respect prohi-
tion is having it's effect in North
Carolina. The claim has been
made that the internal revenue

before prohibition went into
effect. This probably referred to
the number of revenue licences
issued to the drug stores end near.

the internal revenue collections

almost reached the yanishings

facts in the case, The Observer
recently made applir alton to the
Commissioner of Internal Reve-
hue, at Washington, requesting
q memorandum of the internal
rev enu9 collected on whiskey in
North Carolina each year for the
pass ten years. The request was
complied with by Robert Will
liams, Deputy Commissioner.
The result affords an interesting
study. Mr.. Miller's table shows
that in 1912, the collections
