The Atlanta Journal says: "It was
predicted that Illicit distllling would
decrease as the mountainous regions
in which it is FIST prevalent became
more thickly settled and were opened
up by railroads. The last report OF
the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
shows that this prediction has not
been verified. On the contrary illicit
distilling has increased steadily during
the last twelve years. The Govern.
ment's methods Of detection have been
improved and the difficulty Of finding
. safe hiding place for an illicit distil.
lery has increased, but the determine.
ton Of the moonshiner to pursue his
. rktsade grows stronger Is the tolls
gat4er Aabout him. During the last
pafisSll YEa- 1905 illicit distilleries were
!, ss1zed4nd destroyed by the Govern
stsnent. This was the greatest number
ever found in one year and more than
twice as many as were discovered in
1893 or any year before that. Though
the revenue officers did more work in
arresting moonshiners and breaking
up their business during the last fiscal
year than eYer before in twelve
months, not one OF them were killed
and only three wounded. q record
which has only been equallcd once
in twelve years. We regret to say
that Georgia leads the list Of States in
sethe mocnshine liquor business. OF

last year, 587 were found in Georgia
and the Ninth Congressional District
alone furnished 400. North Carolina,
where illicit distilling was formerly
more common than in this State. 10
now surpassed by Georgia, and shows
up II the Commissioner report with
only 45S Illicit distilleries captured
during the year. Only eighty are re-
ported for Kentucky. The hard times
have had some effect in increasing
illicit disabling but, with the Ger.
tsinty Of capture and punishment be-
fore be has been able to get much re-
lief By this method. it ia passing
strange that the moonshiner goes
ahead with increasing persistancy..

Opelousas Courier
Is the advocate of Democratic
principles and the friend OF the
people.
Their welfare is its welfare, and
it will ever be found defending
their rights with all of its
ability.
The value Of newspaper as on
advertising medium consists in
its circulation.
When you can secure the com.
bined circulation Of two papers
for the price Of one, it is money
saved!
"The st. Landry Democrat"
was consolidated on the Sd Of
March, 1894, with THE Opelou-

rates have not been increased
while the price Of subscription
has been reduced to 50 a wear,
