Workings of the Webb Rll-A
Wall Prom Certain sections.
Some few sections OF the country
are temporarily without drink. and
are asking the court TO relieve the
situation. \ reporter OF the Greens
/ boro News gives the following sum
mary OF the situation:
! Alphabetically speaking. High
Point and several other sections OF
North Carolina are as dry as a bone.
Whether intentional or not, the Webb
anti-liquor shipment bill has cut sew
eral sections OF the State a~ay from
all sources OF supply. except by va
gon. buggy. automobile or leg power.
Local Manager w W. Allen. OF the
Southern Express Company. stated
! yesterday that instructions had been
sent out TO all agents that no deliv-
cries OF whiskey should be made in
Anson, Burke. Caharrus, Cherokee,
Macon and Rutherford Counties and
High Point township. Guilford Coun-
ty. Accompanying these instructions
was a statement from o. NJ. Sadler,
District superintendent, TO the effect
thar the Southern Express Company
proposes TO comply strictly and i'm
plicitly with the law in regard to
shipments of intoxicating liquors into
certain sections of North Carolina
and other States in which it does bus
iness.' The whole of South Caro-
lima is included in the territory in
which no deliveries of whiskey are
to be made.
To the laymen il is not exactly
clear why some sections are exempt
from the working of the Webb law
1t is explained that local bills. on the
books for years, have the effect under
the Webb law of making it unlawful
whiskey, whether interstate business
or not. In the case of High Point,
the charter provides that no whisky
may be sold. The High Point char
ter also prohibits the establishment
CT pool or bowling rooms. 1t is with
a purpose of being on the safe side
that the Southern Express Company
has issued ironclad orders with re-
gard to deliveries in certain States,
counties and townships where rather
uncertain and untested laws have
been passed. The policy of the ex-
press company is to deliver no whis-
key where there is the least ground
for doubt about the law.
Liquor houses at Richmond have
already started legal proceedings to
test the legality Of the Webb meas
ure, and Mr.. Webb has himself de-
clared that the express companies
have gone much further than the bill
proposed. The layman had come to
believe that the Webb bill would
amount to nothing in so far as the
actual shipment Of liquor went, and
the belief now is that the express
companies have taken an extreme
precaution. The Webb bill made it
unlawful to carry whiskey into pro-
hibition territory for purposes of sale,
but does not prohibit it's transporta-
tion for private purposes. In other
words, it is unlawful to order it IL
you want to sell it, but permission to
order for private consumption.
THE order as affecting High Point
went into effect Friday, and it is said
jamestown, five miles distant and on
fine macadam, has already become
a very popular point for High Point
To r%@
here yesterday said Saturdays ex-
press brought at least two wagon
loads of liquor to that place for High
Point parties.
The instructions sent out by Su-
perintendent Sadler are as follows:
I'm North Carolina no shipments
of Intoxicating liquors shall be deliv-
cred in Arson County to any save
bona fide druggists and the manager
of the medical dispensary
In Burke County no deliveries
shall be made save to a bona fide
druggist, the State Hospital, the
North Carolian School for the Deaf
and Dumb, Broad Oaks Sanitorium
and Grace Hospital.
I'm Cabarrus, Cherokee, Macon
and Rutherford Counties no deliver
les Of intoxicating liquors shall be
made to any save bona fde druggists.
"In High Point township no deliv-
cries of Intoxicating liquors shall be
made to any one"
