A BLOW FOR SOBRIETY—That's what Patrolman Mann Nor
ris is about to strikain th> picture above. The scene is esttti tnthe
Sourwood section of Cedar Grove township, captured last week by
combined law enforcement agencies of Orange and Alamance count
ies. Sherifi Odell Clayton said there was evidence that 800 gallons
o mash had already been run and 1,200 more galonsl were in boxes
similar to those above ready to be made into whito liquor. The Or
ange County Sheriff's Department continued its battle against the
liquor traffic again thi* weak with' the capture of still another out
fit in operation In Little River township on Sunday. The operators
apparently hear# the officer* approaching through the heavy wood*
and mad* good their escape. In addition to destroying the outfit
and several hundred gallon* of mash, a case of whiskey just mad*
apparently cacheid in the woods near the entrance for pickup was
found, making tie* operation a total loss for the owners, except fer
neat gettaway.

clerks remaining at night for in
definite periods for the arrival of

night as it has within modern me
mpry.
