' I ...... A,v CHARLOTTE t)AILY OBSERVER, JANUARY" 6, 1D08. Gossip, f ftlLie Kaleiarh." Dec. II The place was( the broad corridor on the upper deetc of ths Federal Building here. HaxJoy wm the b.g door of trwa court room. The- corrUor was Jammed with moonshiners, their iriends and their enemies a motly mixture. Outside the. weather wa cold,- and looking down one could ses another swarm of the same- sort of .people on tne fcidewalk, not one in twenty having on an overcoat, while collars were at a discount and to were .clean shirts. Here and there were black faces, some of principals and some of witnesses. On each face there" was a sort of ques tion 'Biarx, yet nobody seemed wor ried. They drifted Into the court rim and they -drifted out. There ft f the' Judge In his robes, looking if$rigely like one of those paintings Jsi see of the great Napcrleari at SL. Mielena. There were the droning tones of the lawyers, the not too loud calls of the cryer. the reading by the clerk, comment, in the quietest of - all quiet fashions by the Judge him self, a few broken remarks by the district attorney. The mill had ground one more grist, and out of he hopper mell a convialt.oound for the Atlanta penitentinryf a shifty looking moonshiner, whojie face, man- . ner and garb bespoke 'His calling with very great aecuraeV. Here came an other case and this tim the.. dis tinguished gentleman ; who occupied the star part of . defendant got six months 4n a county Jail. Fines .were Imposed In most cases. In addi tion to imprisonment, and to be usne the costs were tacked on, the latter mmking quite a. respectable sum. While there was Interest In a way in: what wis going on, tbicre was no ten sion within the court room or with-i out It; nothing dramatic; no nervous ness: never a rugrestion of a. plea for mercy or for any clasping of the; viands; -4ears. and that sort or thing; not even melodrama, but plain busi ness. Moonshiners were on rlal and the Uts was a long one. Click, click, went the machine and off went an therhead, so to speak. It was lit "tle Saint GulHo'lne form. As the convicted men passed out through the throng, unJer guard, there were no expressions of eym--pathy from the associates, end every thing, was common place in the ex trem Yet there was an under current of pride that a sentence was to the penitentiary, and rather a low ering of dignity if one got a-Jail sen tence. Revenue officers, deputy mar shals, perhaps sorote detectives, kept a wary eye on everything tfolng on, -hut they were u qui- as the rest of the tsssemblsge. ' There was plen ty of faJse swtsarlng by moonshiner witnesses ..upon the 'east occasion, tut thi Is an old, old story, for of course there la plenty of it wherever thens are moonshiners. They get . used rto . lying about the stills, which are such perverters of the morals of a neighborhood, that It 4s perfectly natural for the lying to be kept up afterwards. Suddenly In bustled two revenue of ficers with an air of something doing. They were Just bck from a raid and at earliest daylight had swoon,! down upn.n a lot of men wh3 were making liquor for Christina iin a lortelv place some thlrtv rrilles from Raleigh, having been led very near It by a well-toa eltli-en. who want ed to hreak nn a Milt which was con tributing no little rtamaee to his com munity, miking his employe drunk and keepl"?

Hence the revenue r-eople make it a point to keep the identity of inform ers a profound secret. Ten dollars goes to any one who will give ac eurahs information leading to the dis covery of an illicit distillery. One revenu officer is tellihg that heycame near getting the men at the still as they were trying to enrry It off, but that truer got away" In the timber, not storming -when pistols were H a-raidAVhlrs'letaolsnhrdlutao! were fired in the air. Among the listeners ere two officers who were in a raid by night last summer in wljlch two Tosrs, sent from different parts of the State to capture a big moonshine outfit, came upon each other In the dark, nd a ve?v accu rate fusillade took place, resulting In the wounJine of some ;i1f a dozen of the mien. One of the wounded JeD utles Is yet "upon, crutches, but the other, t first-t-hoiiit -4o-tMefppr-stely hurt. Is on aeMve dntr again. They likened to th storv of the clo ture with no little Interest.

K'rst, of 9. wj.l mark the The fancy of the moonshiner and pacing of the saloon and the dispen- yiy'tif his kind for-'corn jiquor is very deeply set. A depaty said that while blinking a moonshiner to Kal eigh they stopped at a restaurant to get a bite to eat and had some very good oysters. In order to get the viewbf th . moonshiner towards his favorite beverage, the officer asked him. which he would prefer that morning, a drink of some very good old xye, then in possession and duly passed through the Xiaieigh dispen ASLxy, or whether he would prefer some of "the stuff right out of the little still do.wn'on the branch. There was not an infant's (hesitation in the! tw "c,";7"" v Tu-i me .latter, every lime and he asked .x.- 7 , .1.1.1. . . 4 mnnn aMnpr ttaA when Am Ihont this incident by the vtnter that he would have done the same thing, for, said he, "We have got to used to drinking the stuff,, me and the other' boys make, that we don't care lor any other kind. Tou would be the eame. way If you had drank.it all your life. I can't stand red' Ikjuor. I got a little white corn in the dis pensary that was tolerably good, but It don't tast exactly like the stuff we fellers make. It don't eem ,to hit you Just right.". Time was when quite number of moonshiners wives and occasionally some of their children, too, were seen .about the court room,, but this .time they have been conspicuous by their absence. The women and the children isre as indifferent as ,th men and I have never known one to weep during the trial of a father or during or at his conviction, or when he was sent away to the penitentiary-or Jail. Come to, think of It, the moonshiners rrnut be quite a Jot of stoics and their womenkind abso lutely devoid of anything approach ing what we would call emotion or Bentlment. To them the holiday pe-, riod Is one to be utilized In the prep aration of whiskey, to be ready for that part of the world which drinks; to be slipped out from the stlil ini all sorts of Jugs, perhaps slung across the back of a raw-boned mule, bal lancing each other :n gunnysacks stuck In wagon under a load of fodder, or hidden' in various and sun dry other ways. The revenue omcers are very prompt to say that mooushlning is bj no means decreasing in Xorth Caro lina. They are equally prompt to say that county oRleiaia are much more than languid in their aid in en forcing the State law, for now, for the first time, orth Carolina has laid its ,hand upon the moonshiner not a heavy hand. It is true, but very light one as yet, thanks to those sheriffs who are perhaps thinking o possible votes and prospective enmi ties, and who think it so good not to Investigate or see cr .hear too much and leave these matters to the revenue officers, who, as some of them have taid eret pay for doing this sort of work. It has been said that one or two sheriffs have put their apathy on the ground that it is a lowering of dignity to be running down moon shiners; so the revenue department gets precious little co-operation along this line. There are illicit distilleries In ra vines, along the branmes; sometimes In the dense wood; once In a while In a dwelling house; sometimes in an outbuilding, apparently used for oth er purposes, and in some very few cases a cellar has been made for this purpose,.- though cellars are rare at ordinary houses in m country. Some moonshiners keep well back from the roads, ,whlle others coma daringly near them, forgetting the Injunction of the late Dr. George W. glacknail, of blessed memory vvo, "when in the Bervlce, most politely suggested to these gentlemen that "they keep back .a little from the road." Reve nue omcers say that as a matter of fact moonshiners are now mere dar ing and resourceful than before. No matter how many 0 their places are "pinched," others instantly spring up. It s true that punlsnment in a se vere form has a tendency to :itop the practice In that particular neigh borhood, for a while at leapt, but it would be interesting to Know what percentage of the, prisoners who pass Through thg "hoppei" ' are convicted and sent to prison return to moon frhlnlng again. ne officer said he thought 75 per cent, did this, the re malnder being either convinced that they would get worse punishment for a second offense or else picking-up some trade and going Into something decent for a livelihood. As a community-poisoner a moonshine still is one of the greatest successes. Not many months ago there were brought to .Rajelgh two little boys, aged 4 and 8 years, whose father, a moon shiner, had gotten drunk and frozen to death In a swamp near his place or business, while their mother hd ended lTr life In the county home. These boys had never heard a prayer until they were brought here, had never seen the inside of "any church w nunuay oliu'oi. naa never ncard a, good word, never even dreamed of such a thing as Santa Claus, and could curse in a style which would meet the approval or the oldest and toughest sailor-man. When the waiter asked one of them where he picked all this up -Ms reply was terse but sufficient. The little reiiow '(the older of the two) said "Ham and pap done It" The.se boys chewed tobacco, or used 'snuff In place of it, and could drink moonshine whiskey with Im punity. It required a course of treat ment In which fresh water, decent clothing, kind words. nrTectlon and not a few other things were blended to put them In shape so that they could take,their proper place in. this world of ours. After this course of treatment they were adopted, und no 4 man would now take them to be the same little vagabonds, utter waifs and strays, they were when they first si w this town, and got tne fitst .real human tou-h and roo7 words. This Is the "seamy side" of moonshlning, and shows what that ptrt of the un derwnrld In North Carolina means. Anything and everything In regard the liquor trafTlc. regular or lrr r ular, through the laioons or through the dispensary, is jut now of vry.. intense human interf-t In Xorth Carr "1'na.

The writer referred -the ather day to the fact that as far as human.foreknowl- ary ih this State; that is provided the matter does not come .up until the next regular session or the Legis lature, but that a special session, held, let us ay in January or February, 190S, would almost certainly, as things now look,, take up this liquor question and enact - law- - which would eliminate dispensary and si loon by say July -1st following. The dispensary people seem to have a very good Idea of this fact, and the mea who sell liquor to the dispensaries arid to faloons seem to realize it quite ifully. They remaric "Xorth Carolina . A gentleman .. who certainly ought to know asserts that . -7" , ' , , 'he wholesalers do not care, and that , ne 'attc-r are not going inio the fight against prohibition and are not put ting up any money for It. It Is very evident that a great, many eyes are on Raleigh Just now to see the out come of the prohibition-dispensary contest here at the capital, where the Governor, so ardent a prohibi tionist, may almost bo said to be lead ing the fjghf to make the palace' dry. I attended and reported the antl ealoon convention a. little more than ?5 years ago, held in the city hall. Chief .Justice Merrimun and some other distinguished gentlemen parti cipated in the fight then, which fail ed because the State was. not ready for it. It is asserted pow that con ditions are vastly different. "The fact that there are only s:x distilleries In this entire revenue district is rather a revelation. There were seven, but one of these "was confiscated during the past few days for the grossest sort of frauds. Really the regular ditillerleg have, -in a great many cases, practiced frauas of . all kinds upon the government. Once In a while there has been collusion with store-keepers. Some" places have run day and night. Pome have made many times more whiskey than they ever reported, and in all sorts of ways there have been schemes to beat the government. Thus, after a fash Ion, such plants have been rivals. .of the moonshiners, paying the govern ment half at the outside of what should be paid and of course turn ing out much more whiskey than the moonshiners with their sorry plants can usually make. So the thing goes on; the moon shiner rides or drives over to the store: buys his meal ond malt; makes his "mash;" turns out his. p!ne-top whiskey, white and titter, and with "claws" on it, and while it is yet hot from the still here comes the gentleman - who craves it. Some of these are straight men who will not give the moonshiner away, but oth ers have to be looked after and buried In various ways, as xhey are known to be shifty arid- have to be. given due consideration, or they will be very apt to turn Informer and In directly perhaps,throjgn several per sons, give the revenue officers a "tip" as to where the still Is, so that on pome crip night, not a great while before Christmas, while mother is watching at the ill-kept cabin, with the kids asleep, for sny unusual sights or sounds, and' whlle father is down on the spring branch, run ning off some liquor, aided by two or three friends, there comes a sud den rurtle in the bushes, a sharp cry or "Halt!" and pless your soul there are the revenue officers. If the moonshiners can they run, but If it Is too close for them up' go their hands and th'ey are led aay to the nearest town, or perhaps guarded In the woods for some hours, though this but rarely while, with their "devils," the revenue officers cut the still, smashing it full of triangular hole and battering It so It looks like the smokestack of a war vessel after a sharp engagement. The news flies that he revenue officers have got the outfit, and the gentlemanly oper ators. Including father. Mother hears it at the cabin. Perhaps the revenue officers pass by the latter in order to give father an oportunity to say good-bye. There Isn't anything pa thetic about his farewell, as both father and mother are far too com monplace to throw the least bit of sentiment into either the meeting or thci parting. A little later, after father Is gone, some of the neigh bors drop' in and In a more or less mild way wonder at mother's failure to catch on to the aiming 04 the "revenuers," alike dreaded and hated.

It seema that Charles Oruiier, a well-known white man, who appeared to be tinder the Influence of whiskey. entered the store and began to operate the slot machine for cigars.
