Big Still Left In Shambles (iastonia, Jan. 22--A 1,000-gai !on liquor still, stashed away in the woods and bushes of Bear > Dam creek section, felt the furi ous hand of Gaston county’s sheriff and his deputies yesterday afternoon. Kquipped with four sticks of dynamite and a heavy axe, Sheriff Dwight Beam, and Deputies Lewis Brittain, Bill Hayes' and Ken Davis trudged through the ankle deep snow to seek out the silent I whiskey maker. Located about four miles south of Cherryville and a mile off th” Cherryville-Dallas road, the still was situated right on Beaver Dam 1 Sheriff Beam and his men indi cated that it was one of the best built stills they had seen in many years. It had four large mash bins, fout wooden barrels, sever al steel drums, and a heating ap paratus that was fired by coke— this to keep smoke at a minimum so as not to arouse suspicion. Trees and bushes sm rounded the machinery of the still, making is amiost undetecable, especially in the summer when foliage is on h- trees. A tin led the sheriff's officers to the still, however. Following directions, Officers Brittain and Davis followed the creek from the highway and found it about a mile fiom the road yesterday morning. The officers came back and re ported to Beam, and the four men went back to the still Friday af j ternoon. When they left, the only thing left in one piece was a mea sure of iron pipe that the dyna mite hadn’t harmed. Bill Hayes, a member of a ] demolition team durinV Worl^ | War II who has helped dynamite i large hr'djSes and other installa 1 tlon-, handled the dynamite and I fuse. The first stick leveled the brick ed-ttp boiler while the second blast consisted of three sticks strategic allv plated. When the debris quit failing, it was evident that this whiskey-maker would have to start from scratch. Although the still wasn’t in operation, it was evident that it had orodm "d a lot of whiskey in | it- -hort life. The machinery was I still new. but the smell of mash i and whiskey permeated the atmos phere. This was the fourth still that Sheriff Beam and his men had left in shambles since he went into office. .
