The illicit traficcrs in wliiskcy are know,
I'm some sections Of this County as might
Shots" from the fact that they inform their
friends of their coming by firing n gun.
They. are said to have regular places ut
which they stop for q night or two and
supply their customers. When they get
ready TO move to another point, which is
! always done at night, they fire gun.
This report is heard by friend 4 mile or
two away, who repeats the signal This
is answered in turn By others, and by this
means their friends and customers for miles
along their route are advertised of thcir
coming. If these representations are cor
rect, the wLiskey pedd!ers have certainly
systcnlatzcd their business most eifcctuallv.
We have never been able to understand
why these vo!ators Of the law are not re-
ported 10 the proper officers by the law
abiding citizens who know of their where
nbouts, and have them punished Surely
there is nothing more dcmoraizing, or that
is calculated TO do greater injury to the
morals OF community than the retailing
OF ardent spirits to its citizens under such
circumstances. just at this season of the
year, when there is plenty of money in the
country and the people generally have more
leisure than usual, these fellows are bolder
and more active than common, and could
be easily detected if the proper efforts were
made. =
A petition was presented 10 the Town
Council Oh Tuesday evening asking for the
continuation of the street ieu,iing from the
baptlst Church, on which the Jail is situa-
ted, through the lots of Mr.. John r. Peo-
PES and Gen. w. w. Humphreys, crossing
w miners creek about .wo hundred and
fiity yards below where Whitner street
crosses. and continuing in direct course
through tie plantation of Maj. B. F.. Whit
ner 10 point on GCnerostcc creek Mt Or
near the old brick yard of Mr.. Cravton
something like half 4 mile below the pres,
ent crossing at Byrum's bridge, and thence
to point OH the public road leading to An
dcrsonvllc between the residence Of Mr..
J. l.. Byrum and Keys Spring. The right
OF way from all the persons through whose
premises the new highway will pass has
been obtained, and it only remains now for
the Council and County Commissioners to
nave the route surveyed and the road loca-
ted and opened. 1t is estimated by those
who are familiar with the proposed route
that 1t will not only shorten the distance
between the point where it will intcrscct
the Andersonville road and town, but that
1t will give q much better roud than the
present one, as the steep hills at Gencrostce
and Whitner's creeks will be avoided. The
Council appointed q committee to examine
INTO the matter and to report ne to tho ad.
Visibility of the proposition ut as carly
day rs practicable.
