MAMMOTH LIQUOR IIIN<i IN BEJEALKH "Bill" Dwyer, Alleged Ilf. id of the Powerful Organization. Umler Ar rest. York. Dpo. —Half n him-' (lro<l pru’.tibilion ugents, deputy Unit ed States marshals and special patrol men today rallied the i ffices of u fi tpinr ring which prohibition agents said was the largest in the history of prohibition and was tile •■backbone of Rum Row." - A syndicate which controlled 18 ocean steamers in cap liquor trade, bribed const guard officers wholesale and had its own secret service sys tem for watching the movement of federal officers was said to have been broken up by the raiders, whose first roundup of the day netted lit* men hud whose principal 'captive whs' "Rill" Dwyer, alleged head of the syndicate. Ring Deader Caught. i The ring's activities were said to I have been responsible for bringing millions of dollars worth of liquor into this, country annually. Dwyer, arraigned before Judge Goddard on a specific <'large of conspiring last July to bring 4.038 oases of liquor into the country hidden in the bunk ers of the stehmshin Augusta, was held in $10,0(H) bail. Immediately after the raid. Major Walton A. Green, chief assistant of General Lincoln , Andrews, dis patched the following message to his chief: “Reg to report capture of Dwyer and his. principal assistants. Korty oue warrants out and biggest round up in history of prc'aibltion enforce ment stil| in progress." The activities of the ring were de scribe:! by Assistant United States Attorney Silitohman, when lie advised the court to ask heavy bail for Dwyer. How They Did It. “Government employes, low-salaried' men, were feasted and entertained \\uth wine, women and song," he said. “The ring maintained headquarters in the East River National Hank build [ ing. in s Times Square, in a building ! on Lexington Avenue, in the Grand i Central Terminal, and at St. Alban's | Montauk Point, and Hempstead. L.1., i It also bail Offices in Albee's Theatre building in Brooklyn ' and in New London, Conn.” Indicating Dwyer. Mr. Xtiehman | said: I "This man is the leading figure | against: which the energies As the I prohibition department in this case l have been directed, i “By him various const guard offi -1 cials have been bribed. In the Au [ gttsta case his. agents did the bribing Hint rile vessel was aHolvved to prq [ deed up the river to Yonkers, i "For .more than two years coast ' guard boats have been in the pay' of this defendant.” Mi:. Dwyer was described ns a j “mail so powerful, so wealthy and so i influential that lie not only wns able j to put government employes on bis i payroll, but to mnimnin a secret i service that rivalled our own." I Mr. Stichmnn said government agents were trailed from Washington when they came here, were met at [ the station and then trailed about town. Federal Attorney Buckner said the , sweeping roundup was the result of three months’ investigation minder the personal supervision of Geueral An . drown and Major Green and had been done by specially selected “under 1 cover” men from Washington and other points acting in close co-opera tion with the local federal attorney’s ffices. Mr. Buckner added that the investigators had been greatly aided 1 by members and officers of the coast guard who had resisted and resented the temptations constantly" offered by the defendants. We Can Beat Muscle Shoals on Our Own Farms S. S. Dunlap, in ‘Progressive Farmer. I notice in The Progressive Farm er Hie very enlightening and forcibly written article by Mr. Eugene Butler on tilt Muscle Shirt's question. My private opinion, is that if farm ers arc allowing themselves to lose any sleep over the mnt'.er of cheap fertilizer and how soon they will get it from Muscle Shoals, they are wast ing good live body tissue that should be more profitably used. It is remarkable how slow We are to uti'ize present opportunity and how prone we are to expect something both large and great from a distant and remote proposition. We can all | sow winter legumes and summer leg | times such as coxvpeas, soybeans, etc., | but we neglect these sure-fire pre -1 seriptioiia for a ,good rich soil and ( continue to wonder if Henry Font will get Muscle Shoals so lie can | start making nitrates to help us grow | crops! | Mr. George A. Marsh said recently I in ail article in the Monroe Enquirer | that his experience on his farm proved | that $lO worth of clover seed sowed i at the right time and in the right ! manner with the growth turned un ! der the following spring is worth to the farm and the crop as much as SIOOO invested in commercial ferti \ fixers in the spring. Think of it! i This would be the same as buying 1 nitrate' of soda at $5 per ton mid , neither Mr. Ford, nor any other man i or set of men is going to get it from \ Muscle Shoals, Chile, or anywhere else at any such price as that. And not only has Mr. Marsh proved these things by actual test but scores, of others have done and are doing the same thing in Union county and nil over Dixie. We do not know what kind of soil dope Mr. Ford or whoever gets M.uscle Shoals is going to get out of the Ten nessee River, but one thing is certain : Nothing to equal growing nitrogen- 1 -fixing crops in the land will come from there or anywhere else, and certainly not at a Coßt of only $5 per ton.

Adt'rcss, Champions the Australian , Ballolt. . Raleigh. Dec. —lnadequate pay of the membership in (lie general as sembly automatically has driven the farmer ns a class from legislative > halls. President R. W. 11. Stone, of the Farmers' Union, ii 'convention here, said today, and the presidential . recommendation for increased pay of ! leg Dialers was the most startling . tiling in hr, address. ■ Tlie uni-.n is going to make an in qiliiy into the cost of schools- and of j ■ ■ government generally, and the survey I will also determine what sort of eiti zehe t.he present plan of government i ttitne out. The union is strong for f| the secret ballet "and President Stone '] championed die Max Gardner measure heartily. There was no champion ship of Mr. Gardner, i The convention met in the Central t Labor Union's hall on Hargett street • and I)r. .T. M. Templeton, of Cary, . welcomed tile body, fermor President t H. Q. Alexander responding. In the afternoon President C. P. Barringer. ■ of tlie State Federation rs Labor, brought greetings. Much of the work - is done in executive session. But today Miss Hattie Berry talked to 1 the farmers on farm credits, and George Ross, of the division of mar ■ kets, on marketing. President Stone i was entirely sympathetic with die schools, but he thinks they come high. 1 And 'he isn't a cheap man. He raised ■ seriously the question of Hfeislative puy and said frankly that it is utter ly inadequate and. productive of the , wrong sort of legislation. One of the chief matters to come ; before the union at this meeting will be an inquiry into the educational system of the state. "We want to know what kiiuf of citizens the schools are turning pnt," Mr. Stone ■ said. “They say that we ought to 1 put more money into education, hut | we want to know first what tSiey are doing with it and what kind of citizens they are turning out.” One bond issue after another is being piled on the shoulders of the people of the state, president Stone said in his ad r dress, and expenses keep inereasing. There are two things which as a farmer he thinks must be done. The farmers of the state must find bet ter markets and they musk secure government aid at a linger price. Farmers need to learn better meth ods of business, the president of the unitn believes. They must study the conditions of the market with a view to supply and demand and must plant intelligently to market intelligently. Tile farmers, he said, must organize for their own protection and the ben efit of mankind. ■ One time while crossing a railroad a wagon and team was run down by the train.

The superin tendent told the old watchman. “I was a bit afraid «t first you might waver, Tom„bat you didn't."

From "Forum Topics" Column in Winston-Salem Journal. A Winston-Salem friend of Sidney B'ackmer, the former Salisbury boy who has been making such a reputa tion the past few years ns a theatrical star, received a nu'ssage from him a few days ago stating, that the p'ny in which he lias been starring tliis season, "The Carolinian." closed a successful .season Saturday night one week ago au(l that he was leaving for n brief rest nt Miami, Fla. He did net -late any further plans in the message but it is assumed thnt he wi'l appear us a star in a new pro duction' to be put on around the first of the year.
