§TILL 4pm ND IN BASEMENT OF
■ ■ ASHEVILLE PREACHER’S HOME
-Thought to Be a Joke on Dr. Rate
man.—Certainly He is Innocent.
Asheville Citizen.
1 In the discovery .of a miniature dis
tilling outfit in the basement of the
residence formerly occupied by Rev.
I)r. It. J. Bateman, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, the sheriff came upon
a baffling situation, which could not
be solved Thursday.
The house is located on Spruce
Street at the intersection of Walnut
and yesterday morning workmen lie
gnu to make changes in the place in
order that it may be used as the fu
ture funeral home of Hare and
Reynolds , local undertakers. One of
the men came upon the apparatus,
small, crude and displaying the un
questionable ingenuity of a novice.
First the "worm” on condenser was
fashioned out of a copper gasoline
pipe of a small automobile and was
twisted in the shape of a croksorew.
Next use was made of a metal stand
and a container, which apparently had
been secured from a chemical labora
tory, An alcohol lamp was found,
along with a mixture in a quart bot
tle that had not yet soured.
Rev. Dr. Bateman is now in Kansas
City, attending the Southern Baptist
Convention. He left the city Sunday
evening and Wednesday his family
moved to a local apartment house.
"1 am sure that Rev. Dr. Bateman
is an innocent party in this affair.”
said Sherdiff Lverly Thursday morn
ing. “A friend of mine called me
over the ’phone and told me to send
two deputies to the house and that a
still was located in the basement.
We have tried hard to ferret out the
problem, hut as yet we eannoWiiid out
who is responsible for the presence of
the outfit,”
The sheriff stated that the apparat
us was so small that it would have
been impossible to make liquor with
it- The most plausible explanation of
tlie presence of the unique outfit, the
sheriff helives—is a theory that prob
ably some young people had made the
outfit in play.
Tlie apparatus was carried to tlie
sheriff's office because of tlie interest
attached to such a miniature still
and was not seized as ail illicit dis
tillery. It is believed to he the small
est still ever captured it: the county.
Determining the ownership would
only serve to settle curiosity as the
construction of a miniature srill for a
toy incapable of distilling spirits
would be no violation of law. it was
said.
WANTS COLLEGE BOYS
OF STATE AS LABORERS
Due to the Fact That So Many Negroes
Are Leaving (he State.
(By the Presa.l
Raleigh. X. ('.. May 20.—Because of
the shortage off labor, said to have

groes leaving the stale for tlie r.orth

way in Warren county, states that he is
considering trying to induce college
boys to accept jobs as laborers during,
the summer months.
Mr. Clifford was in Raleigh last
week to see if lie could contract for
prison labor, but found that prison of
ficials had as many met. as they could
spare at this time working on the
highways. lie said he had recently
visited South Carolina to secure la
borers. lint when lie learned it was un
lawful for an outsider, without a li
' cense, to solicit labor in that state.
' he did not try to get any men there,
i Mr. Clifford said he employs a force
l of about forty men. hut has been im
[ able for several weeks to keep a full
I crew on account of negroes leaving
! the state. When he left Warren eoim
! ty, he said, only about a dozen men
i were at work.
1 About 75 per cent, of-the population
| of Warren county are negroes, ae
i cording to Mr. Clifford.

(THF CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
Solicitor Long Jo Probe Iredell Coun
ty Conditions.
Statesville, May 20.—When asked
for his ideas In regard‘to the investi
gation which Governor Morrison has
ordered of the JaijUand prison camps
of the state, Zeb V. Long, solicitor of
the 15th judicial district said that
he welcomed the opportunity thus to
cooperate with the state authorities
in this investigation and that he had
already been giving special attention
to the matter at his courts, and is
now working out plans for a complete
and thorough investigation.
He staled that he intended to make
investigation at next week’s terra of
Iredell Superior court; of the -condi
tions in Iredell. He had heard 110 com
plaints whatever from Iredell coun
ty.
Solicitor Long thinks from his ob
servations and experience that pos
sibly the most needed reform is to
improve the food system. He declares
that all prisoners and convicts
should be well fed and all necessary
comforts given to promote their
health and welfare, and of course, no
cruelties are to be tolerated.
Ccrluus Pottery.
The use of dried fruits of trees,
such as the gourd and the coconut,"
for bolding water and liquid sub
stances Is familiar, but it is not so
generally known that cups, saucflrs
and Jars to take the place of ordinary
earthenware are made In the Qrtent
of a glutinous and plnstic material
entirely of vegetable origin, which Is
easily moulded and dried.
