Largest Still Captured Saturday FAIRMONT—One of the larg est stills ever seen in this section of the country was captured Sat urday by Deputy Bill Lewis and Lee Shepherd of Fairmont, ac companied by Deputy D. H. Bowene of Columbus county and Chief Tom Nye of the Orrum police department. The still was located near the Robeson-Colum bus county line behind Pea Ridge near Doodle Hill. Two large cub-type copper stills were in operation with two condensers, the officers re lated. Half a barrel of stump hole whiskey had just been col lected from the stills and 83 gal lons had been sealed in jars. Ap proximately 2,000 gallons of beer were prepared to be distilled and 43 barrels were nearby. The two men operating the still fled at the approach of the officers and' escaped into the swamp. However, the men were recognized, and according to Deputy Lewis will be arrested as soon as possible. Miss Mabel Lowery, a freshman at Coker College, Hartsville, S. C., was one of the 85 honor- students for the year at that college. The honor list includes students mak ing an A or B for' the session, an average of 86 or better. Susan Singleton took the o^ nosition on the second Honor Roll in The Citizen Popular Contest when the votes were tallied Tues day night. But she gained that position by just the merest margin over Ann Hale Brown who is in second place. Within easy striking distance of ton place wa 1 Stephen C Chason followed closely by Ann Malloy in fourth. Ann stepped right up from near the bottom of the Honor Roll in just one short week. In ”ifth place was Betty Jean McNeill, rtill a strong contender. HONOR ROLL 1. Susan Singleton 2. Ann Hale Brown 3. Stephen C. Chason 4. Ann Malloy 5. Betty Jean McNeill 6. Barbara Jean Dudley 7. James Malcolm Varnum 8. Richard Watson 9. Ernest Graham 10. Carolina M. Bardel 11. Marsha Lee Spivey. A new entrant, James Malcolm Varnum, made remarkable progress within less than a' week, gaining seventh place. This; contestant will bear watching as the contest rolls along. So far no contestant has any material lead over the remainder of the babies. Anywhere down the line a few subscriptions more or less would have made quite a dif ference in the standing of several of the babies. Anywhere down to the eighth place a winner could materialize and when the fact :s considered that neither Barbara Jean Dudley, Caroline M. Bardel nor Marsha Lee Spivey turned in a report for this count there is a strong possibility that any one of the eleven contestants can be a winner The top five are. oh, so close! The next tabu:ation of the votes will be made Friday evening at 5:30 o’clock and that count will be posted in the window of the Citizen office. For this court a special bonus of 50,000 votes will be given for each 5 years of sub scription turned in and 100,090 bonus votes for each 10 years re ported. Here is a chance for any entrant to climb the Honor Roll in a hurry!
