FUEL BAN AND RESTRICTIONS

There was universal rejoicing in
this city among the merchants Sat-
urday when it was learned that the
restrictions governing lighting and
heating had been practically re-
moved, as result of the settlement
of the coal miners strike. Paris,
held in the throes of darkness for
over two weeks on account of the
fuel conservation order, was a differ
emit Paris of a few nights before,
when it was as dark as the shades
of Erebus. Brilliantly lighted show
windows beamed their welcome to
the passers-by and to window shop
pers, and the stores had their quota
of shoppers for Christmas goods,
who were bent on making up for lost
time. Business was fine-that is, as
fine as the weather conditions
would permit, and in spite of that
there was an air of cheerfulness ap-
parent.
The contrast between that night
and the previous nights, while the
ban was on, was striking. Instead
Of most stores being in darkness,
others looking dim with their candle
and-oil Experimentation the res
taurants only partly lighted, and a
sense of oppression everywhere, the
business houses were radiant with
light and brilliancy.
Relaxation of the restrictions on
heating and lighting to permit re-
tail stores to remain open nine
hours on Saturday nights was one
of the concessions made by the Fuel
Administration. This was made, it
was stated, to accommodate the
heavy buying due to the near ap
proach of the Christmas holiday
season. Shopgirls, clerks and Others
who have formed the habit of sleep
ing until late in the morning on &C
count of their business places not
being open until nine O'Clock for the
past two weeks, will now have to
become accustomed to the new order
Of things. With all the restrictions
removed Offices can open any time
and close at the proprietor's pleas
ure.

SUPREME COURT DECIDES WAR,
TIME PROHIBITION CASES

WASHINGTON Dec. 15.-The
wartime prohibition act was held
constitutional to-day by the Supreme
Court.
In deciding the question the SUI
preme Court also dissolved injunc-
lions restraining revenue officials
from interfering with the removal
from bond of about 100000 gal
Ions of whisky valued at approx
mately $75,000,000 held by the
Kentucky Distilleries & Warehouse
Company, of Louisville, KY.
The signing of the armistice did
not abrogate the war powers of
Congress, Associate Justice Brandies
said in reading the decision of the
Court.
Justice BrandieS said the govern
ment did not appropriate the liquor
way was left open for exporting it.
The constitutional prohibition
amendment is binding on the Fed
eral Government as well as the
States and supercedes State laws,
the Court declared.
The judgment of the Court in the
Kentucky and New York cases was
unanimous.
In rendering its opinion the Court
confined itself entirely TO the war
time prohibition act, and took on
the so-called beer cases which at
tackled the cOnstitutionality of the
prohibition enforcement act.
The decision caused the hopes OF
many for a wet" holiday time to
vanish.

SOLDIER, LONG
BELIEVED DEAD,
WRITES MOTHER

Like a message from the dead was
letter received Friday by Mrs. j. M.
Stewart, of Andersonville, from her
son, James V. Stewart, who has been
with the U. S. Army in France and
whom she had long believed killed
and unrepOrted, she not having heard
from him either directly or indirectly
for nine months.
The letter said that he had written
home every week, but himself had not
had letter from home for eight
months.
Mr. Stewart had been a member of
the 151st Machine Gun Battalion and
was supposed by former comrades
here to have been with the battalion
when it marched in Macon Friday But
since last reported he apparently had
been transferred from the battalion,
and did not return with the organiza-
tion. In his letter he gave his address
as Headquarters company, Britney-
haul, Arl., care A. e. F." The letter
was dated April %, and mailed in
France.
I'VE had given him up for dead,
said j. NJ Stewart father of the sol
dier, Saturday in telling how overjoy-
ed he and Mrs. Stewart were at re-
ceiving their first news from their son
since long before the war ended. Let
ters were sent every few days, but
none ever came from him, and now, he
says, he wrote every week too, and
didn't get our letters"
Following is his letter to his moth
er:
This leaves me we'll and having a
good time, and l hope it will find you
the same Say, mother, l cannot hear
from you at all. | haven't had let
ter from you in eight months and you
know l am nearly crazy to hear from
you.
Say, do you get my mail? write
you letter every week but don't get
no answer. But | believe you write
to me, don't you?
Say, mamma, have had two or
three Y. M. c A. girls write to you
for me just to see if you could get
letter then. But it seems like l can't
hear no way / try. But don't worry,
mother it wont be long before l get
back, and then we will have a fine
time"
