Ashe Banned Bv
Commissioners
Resolution Calling Attention
To New Law Is Adopted
By Group

At the meeting of the county
commissioners on Monday, a
resolution banning the sale of
wine in the county was adopted.
The resolution cites the new
law enacted by the 1915 General
Assembly and resolves that ''by
board of county commissioners of
Ashe county :. that the sale of
wine in Ashe county be and the
same is hereafter prohibited"
The resolution is concluded
with the expressed desire that
other governing bodies in Ashe
county pass similar resolutions.
A complete text of this is pub
lished elsewhere in this paper to-
day.
The action came as no surprise
since there has been much COM
plant of disorder caused by the
drinking of commercial wines,
previously offered for sale.
