The illicit trafccrs in wliiskcy are knowo
in some sections Of this County as "NigLt
Shots" from the fact that they inform tiieir
friends OF their coming by firing gum
They, are said to have regular places at
which which they , stop for night or two and
ready TO move to another point, which is
always done ut night, they fire n gun.
This report is heard by friend mile or
Two away, who repeats the signal. This
Is answered i'll turn by others and by this
means their friends and customers for miles
along their route are advertised OF their
coming. If these representations arc cor
rect, the whiskey pedd!crs have certainly
systcniatized their business most eifcctuallv
We have never been able to understand
why these vio!ators of the law are not re-
ported to the proper officers by the law
abouts, and have them punished. Surely
there Is nothing more dcmoralizing, or that
is calculated 10 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
ana more active than common, and could
be easily detected if the proper efforts were
made
A petition was presented to the Town
Council on Tuesday evening asking for the
continuation Of the street leading from the
BAPTIST Church, on which the Jail is situa-
ted through the lots of Mr.. John f. Peo-
PES ana Gen. w. w. Humphreys, crossing
WINNERS creek about two hI.ndrcd and
nifty yards below where Whitner street
crosses; and continuing in direct course
through the plantation of Maj. B. F. Whit
near the old brick yard of Mr.. Crayton.
something like half mile below the pres,
ent crossing at Byrum's bridge, and thence
to point on the public road leading to An
dersonvillc between the residence of Mr..
=: l.. Byrum and Keys Spring. The right
premises the new highway will pass has
been obtained, and it only remains now for
the Council and County Commissioners to
have the route surveyed and the road loca.
tea and opened. 1t is estimated by those
,Y VINO are familiar with the proposed route
that it will not only shorten the distance
between the point where it will intcrscct
the Andersonvillc road and town but that
1t will give much better roud than the
present one, US the steep hills ut Gcncrostee
anu Whitner's creeks will be avoided The
Council appointed n committee to examine
into the matter and to report as to The ad
visibility of the proposition mt as early
day rs practicable.
