"OLD NANCY"
History of an Illicit Still Which Has Beer
Operated for Thirty Years.

History of an Illicit Still Which Has Been
Operated for Thirty Years.
The capture of an Illicit still operated
near Sinking mountain by Deputy Col
1ector Brown recalls q story of long
continued defiance of law. The still
was bought in New Haven in 1858 and
was put to use on the plantation of
the late George Dye. When the war
opened, says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat, it passed into the hands of a
Habersham county whisky dealer, who
did a rushing business for four years.
There was no railroad at the time
within one hundred miles of this sec
ton, and the liquor made by "Old
Nancy as the still was fondly named,
was the favorite trade not only through
northeast Georgia, but crossed the
. lines into North and South Carolina.
Once the still was embargoed by the
officers of Habersham in 1868 because
of the demoralizat tion it created among
the small boys, who, with the old men,
were about all there were left.
With the restoration of United States
authority ''Old Nancy became con
traband. Revenue prisoners brought
before United States commissioners
would tell about how ''Old Nancy" was
prospering, but try as they would the
officers never could capture the still
When the distillers of one community
found themselves too closely pressed

was the still in quest of which Lieut.
Mcintyre, of the United States army
was killed in Gilmore county in 1875
Subsequently it was run back east
being operated on Warwoman creek
in Rabun county, for several years.

EFT AND THE HARvESTERS.
The Artist Could Swing Scythe with
the Best of Them.

The Artist Could Swing n Scythe with
the Best of Them.
Pierre Mil1et, younger brother of
the painter of the .'Angelus," describes
the artists life at Barbizon, in Century.
When it was harvest-time, he would
often lead the way to the places where
he hoped to see the harvesters at work.
When we were at little distance
from them, he would stop. ''See," he
would say; ''all their movements count
There is nothing done uselessly. No
tice, too, how well the light strikes
them and absorbs all the little details,
till there remain only the stronger ac-
cents of shade which define here and
there the luminous masses. The light
of the plain is entirely different from
that of the studio, where it enters only
by window. 1t is something of which
a good many painters who never go
out of Paris have no idea
It sometimes happened that these
harvesters would notice that we were
observing them, and some of the band
would say to the others: ''See these
Parisians who are looking at us. 1
should like to see them do our work.
1t is another thing to hold pencils, hey?"
Francois once said to them: ''Ah,
what you do is very difficult, is it
not?"
eff you wish to try it, you will find
OUT replied one. 'tHere. take my
scythe.''
This did not disturb Francois. He
took the scythe and began to cut the
wheat with an ease and skill superior
to theirs. They did not watch him
) long before they exclaimed: ''Ah,
monsieur, it is not the first time you
have done this work! You do it better
than we."
Continuing our walk, we came upon
other objects of artistic interest.
These were people binding the wheat
into sheaves, and others loading the
carts, and transporting the sheaves to
the place where they were piling them
in huge stacks. Francois watched this
with great eagerness, saying to me:
''See the grand movements of the men
who lift the sheaves on their pitch
forks, to give them to those who are
on the stacks. It is astonishing, to-
ward the approach of night, how
grand everything on the plain appears,
especially when we see figures thrown
out against the sky. Then they look
like giants

A COLLAPSED BUBBLE.

The Coxey movement seems to have
waned rapidly. 1t sprang up in night
Ike a mushroom, attained its growth
and began to decay almost before its
existence was realized. Here and there
an "army" still fights nobly for hand
ont, and Kelley's navy still holds pos
session of its fiat boats. 1t was the
crazy notion of demagogue, but the
great body of tramps focked to join the
armies, not knowing and not caring
what the objects of the leaders were,
content to find a semblance of import
ance, and an excuse for demanding
something to eat.
Whatever Coxey's original idea was
Eif he had any, it was soon lost, de-
stroyed by the stomachic troubles of the
mpecunious tourists who hocked to his
standard. Instead of presenting to con-
gress a "living petition" he succeeded
only in changing unorganized mendi-
eAncy into organized beggary. Those
who were born weary, those who
achieved WEAKNESS. and those who,
through strikes or otherwise, had weari-
standard, armed with tomato cans and
grim determination not to work, and
ahey swamped him. He was going to
dictate to congress at the head of thous-
ands of pathetic "fearful examples" !"
and he was hustled off the grass like a
common vagrant by blue-coated po-
hceman.
What at first gave promise of a trag-
edy, developed into a comedy, and
wound up a rip-roaring farce. The
country trembled at the first appearance
of the great leader, but one glimpse of
she animal and one roar from his lungs
set everybody laughing at the modern
presentation of the old fable. The lions
akin did not fit, and that its wearer
sbOuld be cudgeled, though by police
Dan, is quite in keeping with the moral
Of the old story. In the meanwhile his
ragged followers have gone to Worship
ping the golden calf, the kitchen hand
ont, careless as to whether or not their
Moses gets back.
