Prohibition agents, Moore and
lemonds, with A. G. McDufRe, inform
er, and the co-operation of citizens
the biggest raid ever known in this
section took place last week, and the
only regret was their time was too
short. Jumping from one county to
another, several stills were captured
in Moore, Richmond and Montgomery
counties. About 4000 gallons of beer
and several gallons of peach brandy
were destroyed. On Wednesday three
stills were captured in Montgomery
county, and they wound up their raid
on Friday near Eagle Springs by
capturing a 100 gallon outfit and de
stroying about 1000 gallons of beer,
and seizing a mule and Avagon and
load of sugar. The officers, although
unsuccessful in some of their searches,
never came in here without a still, and
are to be congratulated for their ex
cellent work. There is sufficient evi
dence to convict four men and others
may be hailed before Federal Court
for sentiment is strong against the
whiskey man, and people are demand
ing relief from the whiskey man and
any lawlessness; and will never offer
any more encouragement to the cast
offs from other sections. .More stills
were captured last week and brought
here than ever before. Yet, there is
less drinking in this section than in
the days of the government distilleries
and open bar rooms when peaches
brought as low as ten cents a bushel.
Drunkards and even some who had
delerium tremens are making us good
citizens now, and they do not want
their sons to follow in their foot
steps. Is there need for an order
league in the county ? It is hoped that
the recent raid will stop some of the
flow of whiskey coming in here on
dance nights, and a few more trips
in this section will break up the block
ading group.
The largest crowd that was ever
known attended the dance here on
Saturday night. Quiet prevailed in
the crowded dance hall, and the
greatest excitement was two young
men who used their light artillery
freelv where they thought they would
not be seen, and John Barley Corn
may get some into trouble.
R. A. Derby will ship nearly 100
carloads of peaches from here before
the season ends this week. He is the
largest shipper from this point. There
will have to be some changes made in
the Norfolk and Southern Railroad
here to handle the large peach crop
next year. The Manice orchards will
have 300 acres of peaches coming in
next year. The route of the rail
road will have to be changed and we
hope there may be a suitable loca
tion found for a depot site on high
elevation where good switching facili
ties can be found. There are two
routes the railroad can go and not
be very far from the old line.
People rallied strong and went to
register on Saturday for the election
to call for an issue of $75,000.00 m
bonds to build school buildings in
Mineral Springs township with each
district getting its proportionate part
of the money according to taxaole
property.
The post office fight is on now
among the Republicans. Among the
crowd that stood the recent examina
tion: Col. W. C. Jones and Miss Lola
Thomas were placed on the eligible
list. Miss Jennie Clark the only Demo
crat to stand in the examination was
placed on the eligible list from the
first examination; and although she
possesses all the qualifications for a
good postmaster and has had a long
business experience she will probably
let the Republicans fight it out among
themselves. Miss Thomas, since her
graduation in the local high school,
tatight school and has made a good
record and attends summer school for
teachers every summer. She is very
popular and will get the endorsement
of nearly every patron and it would
be good policy for the Republicans to
give her the $1200.00 job. But Col.
Jones is a Spanish-American war
veteran and may have some influence
in Washington. But it is thought he
will drop out of the race for business
very often calls him away.
Messrs. G. R. Ross, J. A. and D. M.
Campbell are erecting a cotton gin
here, and it is hoped it will be com
pleted by the first of September when
the cotton will be open. The cotton
crop around here is better this year
than ever before. The presence of
Doll weevil some time ago caused
^^ig’ht, but there is no sign of
them now.
Arthur Stewart was hurt very
badly on Sunday afternoon when the
ord car she was riding in turned
oyer. The car was driven by Kennie
Stewart, her brother-in-law who was
carrying his brother and wife home to
the Manice orchards. She is a bride
of several months. None of the five

^^^dent which happened so suddenly.
