along the almost inaccessible mountains
furnish a means of progress through the
county. Here the moonshiners ply their
traffic with safety, for no one is willing
to take their life In their hands by ven
turing in those lonely solitudes. Infor-
nation was received a short time ago
by the marshals here that regular set
Element of stills had been started up, and
the above named deputies determined on
a raid They arrived near, the scene late,
Friday evening and, waiting until night,
ventured forth. They carefully followed
the trail that had been described to them,
and after hours of walking through the
starless gloom and falling over rocks and
logs they unexpectedly came upon twen-
ty men, who had ten large stills in full
blast. The moonshiners promptly OPEN
ed fire with Winchesters and the depu-
ties quickly took refuge behind trees and
returned the fire with energy. The
pitched battle continued until the ammu-
milton of the moonshiners was exhausted
and they fled. The deputies pursued and
captured four, whom they brought back
with them. They destroyed the ten stills,
together with $500 gallons of whisky and
1900 gallons of beer. The arrest of the
four men is going to lead to wholesale
arrests throughout that county. The
deputies are thankful for their narrow
escape and are highly pleased with their
success.

Russell County Conceded to Johnston by

Girard, March 18.-(Special)-A Scale
correspondent of a Columbus paper
states, in a brief description of the polit-
zeal situation in Russell county, that
while the gubernatorial contest will be
very close in this county, Clarke has a
good chance in the Scale beat, and that
If Girard goes for Clarke he is pretty
safe" The correspondent also states
that Clarke has many friends" in the
county. prominent politician of the
county, well Informed concerning the po-
litical situation, has this to say about the
Columbus papers special:
1.-THE one modicum of truth contained
in this special is the statement that
Clarke has many friends This is un-
doubtedly true, and l believe that | do
not depart from the strictest accuracy
when [ say that every single friend OF
Mr. Clarkes cause in Russell comedies
the county to Johnston. There are ten
precincts in the county, and 1t is ex-
tremely problematical whether a Clarke
ticket will be run in more than four
Silverites and goldites alike, without
respect to metallic predictions, are en-
Enthusiastically enlisted under captain
Johnstons banner, and any declaration
that Clarke has the ghost of chance or
carrying the county is but the meaning
less vaporings of an irresponsible brag-
CART or the ludicrous mistake OF some
misinform9d innocent abroad
