Charlotte Observer.
Stanly coanty was the destination
taken by feder-
nl uwl city ofEcer Suniay nlxht. 3nl
the trip, which result el In the arre
f.f O. J. Rratton. of Itwl Level. wa
one of the mt adventuresome taken
in muny month by officer -In thU sec
tion of the Htate. they declared on
their return. Six crfllott of liquor
vax M;rtNl when I'.ratton a arrestwi,
which be i alleseil to Lave offered for
sale to the officers.
Probable caue was found acaint
Rratton at a preliminary hearing t
fure Unitl State Commissioner J.
W. Cobb yesterday afternoon at 1
o'clock on a eharjre of "having iix
gallons of liquor on which the tax was
unpaid' and .offering fame for sale
without tirt bavins paid the revenue
license tax." At the request of a depu
ty internal revenue aptnt. the horul of
Rratton. for his appearance at the
April term of federal court, was fixed
at SI 00 by the commissioner, owing
to a serious illness in the man's family,
lie save the required bond at 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The warrant was
served upon him by Deputy United
States Marshal E. S. Williams.
A few minutes after t o'clock Sun
day afternoon the "scouting party"
including Deputy Internal Revenue
Agent Hedrick, Captain M. J. Henry,
provost marshal, and Lieutenant Rob
inson, assistant provost marshal. De
tectives J. D. Johnson and R. C. Mc
Knight, of the local police department,
and Jennings Dixon, in whose car the
trip was made, left the city hall. Mem
bers of the party at that time inform
ed a newspaper reported that something
probably would happen in the "wee
sma' hours of Monday morning."
At 4 o'clock yesterday J morning the
"scouting" party" arrived back in the
city, having taken a trip of more than
7-" miles in search of liquor and stills.
They found no stills, they said.
During the tour in the dead of night
through Stanly county they visited
the homes of several iersons residing
there., inquiring if they know where
any liquor could be bought. Getting
no results after visiting a number of
homes they stopiod at the-.. house of the
father of the man who was '-brought
back to the c!ty. Officers . inquired if
he knew where they could get any liq
uor. He' replied, as the officers quot
ed him :
"Wall. I ain't spenking no names,
but if yer do as I tell ye and te quiet
'bout it. yer kin git some. . Now go
down that road 'till ye run ajrain a
barn.: then turn to yer left and go 'til
ye see two old sheds sidewise, cross
the road: then turn to yer left and go
rtil ye come to a branch; and on yon
side of the branch turn to yer right and
go 'bout half-a-niile up the big road
and turn to yer left agin. In that
shanty on de right side of the big road
ye'll find a house where yer kin git
some liquor, I 'spect, but I ain't speak
ing no names."
This advice was followed. The offi-
feers rapped on the door several times
before waking- Rratton. He came to
the door, asked what they wanted, and
said he could supply them with a little
whiskey, the officers declared. After
he had brought the liquor, the officers
told him who they were, and advised
him to consider himself under arrest.
He refused at first and produced a gun
which flashed in the moonlight, said
the officers- also had guns and Rratton
seeing this put his away, they said.
En route to Stanly county a tire
blew out. While the party was fixing
it. a light car came by with thne soi
diers and a chauffeur in it. Captain
Henry stopped the travelers. Search
ing the light macluue. he found a gal
lon jug of whiskey. Searching one of
the soldiers four half-pint lotties filled
with liquor were found. The captur
ed jug and the bottles were placed in
the officers' machine. The soldiers
were informed to wait until the tire
on the machine had leen repaired. The
chauffeur of the? ear in which the sol
diers rode offered his services to as
sist in rixing the "scouting party's"
machine, which offer was accepted.
The soldiers were forgotten for the
time, interest Ixing centered in repair
ing the tire. Soon Captain Henry re
membered that he had taken a jug of
whiskey and seme bottles from the
soldiers. Jim Johnson said the jug had
been put in the-tonneau of the automo
bile. Rut it could not be found. The
engine of the light machine, in which
the soldiers rode, was heard and a rush
made by the officers to keep them from
getting away. In the light machine was
found the gallon jug. The soldiers had
stolen the jug out of the officers' ma
chine and were preparing to steal the
chauffeur's flivver.

FARMERS ASKED TO BUY W. S.
Must Lead in This Highly Patriotic
Duty, Says Secretary Houston.
In an appeal to the farmers to put
their savings into government war sav
ings certificates. Secretary of Agricul
ture Houston yesterday said:
"It fc the patriotic lnty of every
cithpm who is in a pcsdtion to do so
to invest in war springs and thrift
stamps and thereby help the nation to
win this war. The purchase of evey
a 2.Tcent thrift stamp is a definite con
tribution to this end.
To win this war we must have both
men and money. I know that every
farmer wants to do everything in his
power for the nation in this day of
trial. He will not only labor, to nro-
duee the necessary foodstuffs, but will
also generously contribute of his means
to make it possible for the men at the
front to achieve victory. I .am confi
dent that the farmers of the land will
not permit any other class to take Jhe
leadership in supporting the government-in
this crisis, financially or other
wise." W.8.S.

sides-of the ocean, a distinctly optimise i
tic feeling prevails in Washington with
respect to their ultimate conquest this
year. ;
As to most of the measures to le
adopted with the coming of milder

able, aad it is of a highly confidential
nature. That greater security b to

is not a secret.

ing of 1 air-tight !nxes distributed In
.various parts of the vessel, Is acutally
Investigating the whole subject of non
sinkable ships being used for trans
ports and" a supply freighters for
France.
It is expected that it will inake a re
port at an early date, and that its rec
ommendations will be carried our. It
is by no means the unanimous opinion
in the navy that the adoption of any
device to render ships nonsinkable is
advisable.
The object ot all marine traffic, espe
cially under the emergency conditions
imposed by the necessity of making
war 3.000 miles from base, is to move
ns much freight as possible. The oppo
sition to rendering ships nonsinkable is
based upon considerations of a practi
cal business character. Mathematical
calculations made by the lrigliest mari
time authority in the world would seem
to indicate the advantage, in the pres

less they produced their own food and

such. Is such, and promises to con thine
such, that this section will not be able
to import fool commodities and feed

until after the war Is over and by
that time let us hope that our people
will have realized that it Is fooll&h
under any circumstances to import
corn, oats, and hay. to feed livestock
to row cotton or obacco or any other
crop, especially when the production of
coton and tobacco need not be reduced
in order to secure an Increased produc
