All three of the -tills were found in the Grape Creek section. Oil Fridax night of last week. Deputies O. C. Davis, Sam Capps > and Bol> Graves located a 20 gallon outfit near the mouth of Grape Creek, confiscated the still and de stroyed about 500 gallons of beer. The furnace for this outfit had just been erected, the officers stated, and a small fire built in it to drv it out. Evidences showed that it was just getting read\ for operation when tlies found it. \o one was at the place and no arrests were made. In Bea\erdam Township Sunda\.

One of them discovered that some one was approaching close, and held a bin torch above his head. When the officers were discovered, he threw the torch to the ground, veiled, and took to the bushes, fol lowed by his partner. The officers gave chase, but in the darkness and not being familiar with the lay of the land, the hlockaders succeeded in making good their escape, but not however until thev had been rec ognized. The outfit was in operation in full blast. The still was full of "singlings," and real corn liquor was running from the "worm" into a gallon demijohn container. Only about a quart had been *'rtinH The officers confiscated the outfit and destroyed about 300 gallons of beer.

TOWN PROGRESS TALKS The merchant who runs his s?tore as he did 25 years ago is going to lose out in this day of progress, when the demand for the new stuff is so strong. But instead of resenting the more ex acting demands of today's shopper, the wise storekeeper welcomes them as opportunities and is out m from leading the parade with every innova tion that comes along. He Hikes a day off frequently and spends it in city shops and wholesale houses, studying the market and observing methods of stimulating trade with nov elties. and attractive tfore ana show window display. These things, when adopted in his own store, all bring do! laro into the modern merchant's casii register. Rust is costing American farmers $150,000,000 annually, which would make a nice little pot of relief. Oh, where is your idle machinery to night? Philip Lutz of Catawba County produced 1 13.1 bushels of corn on one acre this year at a total cost of $49.70. Report of lh*' Con*/ ft ion of the BANK OF Ml'RPHY At Murphy.
