THURSDAY PTERNOON MAY 18,1922. STILL IN THE WILDS OF KINGSJ10UNTAIN Deputy Sheriff Cole and Kings Moun tain Officer Captured One of Largest Moonshifce Outfits Ever Seen in County J Gastonia Gazette 12th. ' Three thousand gallons of beer and an excellent old-style 50 gallon copper still were captured by Deputy Sheriff J. W. Cole and a posse of officers ear - ly Friday morning in the wilds of King's Mountain, ten or twelve miles west of the city. This constituted the largest single haul the Gaston offi- cera have made in several years. The capture also included one biockader, of the regulation type, who is now be- hind the bars of the county jail in de- fault of a $1,000 bond to await trial at the approaching term of Gaston Su - perior Court. Jim Whitesides is the prisoner's name and the officers state that he is a York county, South Caro lina blockader one well knowti to the officers of the two c;cies. Two other men, whose identity is suspect ed by the officers made good their escape..-'. . So inaccessible is the spot where ft still was captured that it was found practically impossible to bring it back to the. city so it was hacked to pieces with an axe and the remnants thrown to the winds. It appeared to be a still that had seen several years of service and had in all probability, been moved from point to point on Kings Mountain. The beer was pour ed out. Deputy Cole and his posse made the capture about 8 o'clock Friday morn ing after having lain in wait since an hour or two before daylight.' In the party were Deputy Sheriff Zeb John son, Deputy Sheriff Ed Jackson, Chief of Police Allen and Green Ware, of Kings Mountain. They saw the three men arrive at the still, fire up and get ready for the day's work. Then they rushed the blockaders. Two escaped and the posse concentrated their ef forts on Whitesides who proved to be np slouch as:a,sprinter . . They ran him naif a mile or more, firing- in the air as they went, hoping to frighten the fleeing bind tiger. But he didn't scare. He simply "burnt the "wind." He led his pursuers over rocks and stumps and stones until he had them pretty well winded; but they were out to catch their man and they won. "That's about the wildest looking place in all this part of the country," remarked Deputy Cole yesterday, and I know this section almost like . book. Fact is it's the next thing to wilderness. The nearest point to it accessible by wagon or auto, so far as we could find out, was four miles away. We left our car that distance away and had to walk, the balance of the way.- There was a large pile of meal sacks near the still. From all appearances these fellows had to car ry this meal to the spot on their backs. They certainly had a good eye for business when they picked out this location. There's no telling how long this still had been in operation. It's altogether probably that much of the liquor which had been drifting in to Gastonia came from this place." Whitesides was given a hearing be fore Magistrate S. S. Morris yester day. . He waived examination and was held under bond for $1,000 for trial at the next term of court. He had no attorney. ' According to well accepted form ulas 100 gallons of beer makes six gallons of whiskey that is pure whiskey. ; If adulterants are used the ratio would doubtless be twice or three times that figure. Granting they were "honest" distillers this 3000 gallons of booze. At the pre vailing wholesale price of blind tiger booze 6 per gallon this one run would have brought its owners $1,080. GERMANY'S NEW MAN For the first time since 1917 "cen tral" at Washington and "central" at Berlin are connected up and convers tions are going on between, as in the days before Germany went war-mad. Dr. Otto Wiedfeldt, the new Ambassa dor from Germany, is now settled down for business at the National Capital, and Alanson Houghton, the American Ambassador 'to Germany, has been officially "received" in Ber lin.- Thus the long servered social and commercial 'relations between the two countries have been restored. The new man from Germany is the first of the kind sent to this country in long years who is hot representee of militaristic Germany., He is neither militarist nor politician, but is a. plain commercial man, picked up from, the ranks of business and Dot of diplo macy. He comes pretty much in the nature of a commercial drummer.- He is 6lf a different sort from Bernstorff, whose like, it is to be hoped, this courf try will not again sie.r-Chariotte J5lv-' server,"1 i-w,,---i" fc CHILD LABOR LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL By the Federal Supreme Court Case From North Carolina in Washington, May 15. The federal child labor law was declared uncon stitutional loaay ' cy the supreme court. : The law, enacted in 1919, was in tended to regulate the employment of children under 14 years of age, in j any mill, canery, workshop, factory, or manufacturing establishment, or in any mine or quarry under 16 years ' old, by imposing an excise of 10 per cent upon the net annual profit of those employing such labor. It was attacked on the ground that it at tempted to regulate an exclusive state function, in violation of . the ' federal constitution and the tenth , amendment, and was defended as a mere excise tax levied by Congress under its broad power of taxation conferred by the Xeueist constitu- tion. ' . '. y ' y. The law was attacked in the su preme court by three cases from North Carolina appealed by the gov ernment. Two of these, -the Ather ton mills and that by John J. George and others, were dismissed on tech nicalities, but the case brought by the Drexel Furniture company; was found in proper form, and it was in that the law was declared Invalid . The opinion was delivered by Chief Justice Taft, with no dissent an nounced, the decision being ; unani mous. THE GERMANS WILL GET US. The : interests clamoring for high tariff duties have ' a strong talking point in their appeal to anti-German feeling. ' Ammonium nitrate was taken irom the free list In the tariff bill and made dutiable at 1 cent a pound on the plea that it was abso lutely necessary to protect from the German nitrate trust the nitrate in dustry built up in'this country dur ing the war.' Representatives of the aluminum works at Badin, the t Can non manufacturing iqtiigtij& (ion- cord," and" aoubtless other North Car olina industries, have joined with others in the plea to be saved from the Germans. To hear these people talk German manufacturers : are about to take possession of the trade of this country and take the bread out of the mouths of the workers. Of course the manufacturers are : not really asking for anything for them selves; it is the prospect of the poor working man suffering by the influx of German-made goods that is driving sleep fronr their eyes. And the) ap peal to the anti-German felling will have its effect. The interests will get theirs.

KMMt VW TW Law. --: Angus W. McLean -We hear a great deal today about our much-vaunted civilization. Are we civilized enough? No people, says Ramsey Muir the eminent British es sayist, can be called fully civilized un til there isr widely diffused among its members the sense of their obligation not merely to obey the law, but to obey it Willingly and to cooperate m enforcing and maintaining it. Not all laws are obeyed as they should be. Some are taken seriously, others receive passing interest, while a few are entirely ignored. Any law to be effective must be enforced not by uniformed police ofiicers but by the will and moral sanction of the community. Law, like representative government, is forceful only when the people resolve to make it so. That principle is patent to every one. But any violator of any law who goes unpunished or receives nominal punishment for his offence whether he be an influential bootlegger or an inoffensive begger is a serious men ace to a community. Every such case weakens respect for authority and emasculates other laws. If we have bad laws in North Car olina, we should abolish them in order to protect the good ones; and while our citizens are as upright and as law-abiding as any State, we should keep everlastingly before us dur civic duty not only to obey the laws oursel ves but to see to it that they are en? forced. That is a Wholesome princi ple of any highly-ordered civilization. Hot Springs, Ark., May 16.

The 76th annual session of the Independ ent Order of Odd Fellows, which is the largest fraternal order in the world and the second oldest in the fraternal group, convened at 4 o'clock, in the Odd Fellows' temple, with one of the largest attendance at the open ing session of any session for years At the same time the state Rebekah assembly, the woman's auxiliary of the order, also held their annual ses sion in the ball room of the Robert E, Lee hotel. The public meeting was called to order by J. F. Griffith, past grand master, who introduced the speak ers of the evening. F. B , Benbow welcomed the visiting Odd Fellows on behalf of the local lodges. In welcoming the visitors Mr. Benhow took occasion to refer to' the order having grown from a handful to the lareest fra ternal order in the world. He also referred to the objects and princi ples of the order and the work of the members in behalf of the orphans home at Goldsboro . Responses to address of welcome on behalf of the visiting Odd Fel lows were made by Grand Master L W. Moore and Frank Haekctt. Grand Master Moore received an in novation when he arose to speak. Each of the 600 odd in attendance arose and cheered him for ; fully three minutes. The formal opening of the grand lodge was called to order by Grand Master Moore. Every grand lodge officer was present except the grand chaplain, Rev. R. N, Childress, who was reported in Louisville. His place was filled by the appoint ment of W. P. Constable. Grand Master Moore's report cov ering his administration and activi ties during the past year showed that an awakened interest in Odd Fellow ship had been developed in the va ious lodges throughout the ' state, and while the reports are not all tab ulafetiyet.at lsyewectedyJ3a.tLJully 15 per cent increase - in membership will be shown during the year. Grand Master Moore made a number of rec ommendations of a constructive na ture, which will doubtless be adopt ed during the session, looking to fur- ther improvement and increase in membership. Additional facilities in the interest of the oprhans' home at Goldsboro were stressed. Grand Secretary John D. Berry re ported that nearly a hundred mem bers had died since the last session, many of whom were faithful and took a prominent part in the order's activities. A SECOND-HAND COFFIN OFFERED FOR SALE IS Lexington Dispatch. Anybody want to buy a , cofflin ? There is one for sale here at a barg ain price, and it is already trimmed and has, in fact, been broken in. One of the express' companies operating here has one for sale. A bid covering the express charges from a point in South Carolina would probably be South Carolina would probably be successful. f I : : he story of how this coffin came to be for sale is a very unusual one. It is a tale of the switching of a corpse from one container to another and also a tale of how a bereaved husband went from one state to an other with an empty coffin. - A month or so ago a colored wo man whose home was in South Caro lina died at the home of a relative here. A telegram was sent to the husband and no immediate reply was received. In the meantime or ders were given a local undertaker, who prepared the body for' burial placed it in a coffin and made ready to ship it to South Carolina. That night the husband arrived, bringing with him a coffin to put the body in. When i he found arrangements for shipping were completed he is said to have expressed acquiescence and started back; with the remains, also the empty coffin. " A few days later however, the local undertaker received notice that there was a coffin in the express office for him, He went and took a peep and found that it was the very same coffin that he had shipped the body in trim mings and all, except the shroud. It appears that an undertaker in South Carolina, not caring to lose the profits of the sale of a coffin, persuaded the husband to allow the body to be shift ed to the coffin he had brought up and taken back with him. This was done and the local man's coffin was shipped back He refused to accept, it hence the sale. - .
