LAUNDRY IN A MIx-UP.

The breaking of a king-bolt on a
wagon of the Savannah Steam Laundry
Company last night, caused an acct
dent at Jones and Whitaker street,
which resulted in serious injuries to
a negro boy who was in the wagon.
The wagon itself was nearly demol-
ished.
The driver was going up Jones street
in the direction of Bull street, when
Unexpectedly the king pin broke,
throwing the wagon forward with
lurch and frightening the horse so that
he began to run. The driver and the
small boy both jumped from the wag-
on. The boy was thrown under the
front Of the wagon, and the weight of
the wagon, itself, was thrown on him.
lie was placed in a hack and taken
home. Besides some bruises about
the face and neck. it was feared that
internal injuries have been sustained
The driver. a-acolored man named
William Daniels. reported the matter
to the Office of the laundry and an
other wagon was sent to his assist
ance. The bundles Of laundry were
transferred from one wagon TO the
other, lantern was hung on the
wreck, and the injured lad was taken
10 his home.

QUEER MOONSHINE STILLS.
Some of the Things in Which Georgia Corn"
Is Made.

The announcement in the Morning
News dispatches that an illicit still
no larger than a point cup had been
raided near Atlanta calls attention to
the development of the Illicit still in
dustry, if the term may so be APP
piled.
The government figures show
that in the month of July there were
more cases of Illicit distilling recorded
than for a long time. A United States
revenue deputy in Savannah says there
is more of it going on now than ever
before in his experience, which covers
not few years.
And this recalls the fact that
there is no more interesting
way to while away an hour or so than
to get one of these men who have de-
voted their lives, or rather large part
of them, to running down those who
think they have as much right to turn
the product of their fields into ferment-
ed liquor as into meal and bread.
The revenue man generally has had
a varied experience and can tell, if he
will, of many times when he faced
death and oftener hardship to capture
resolved that he wouldn't be took,
nohow." Some of the things he tells
contain much that is new to the aver
age man.
How Stills Are Hunted.
The deputy and his assistants gen.
orally get tip as to the locality where
a moonshine still is in operation, either
from some liquor dealer in the town
who is caught up with by the collector
on tour of inspection, or from some
neighbor of the operator who either is
enviOus or really opposes the business,
and these latter are commoner than
the unsophisticated might imagine. He
then goes to the neighborhood point
ed out and starts an investigation.
A common way is to look for a brand
new road or a fresh wagon track lead
ing away from the beaten track. This
the officer follows until he comes to "a
stream of water and the chances are
that he has the still located. Often
it rests on the very brink of the branch
itself and in buildings that resemble
smoke houses.
The first thing that makes
the hunter sure that he is at
his destination is the sight of to 5
large boxes filled with meal dampened
with hot water-the mash-into which

that has been sprouted. 1t causes the
mash to feTment and when diluted with
water makes the beer out of which the
whisky is made. 1t is allowed to stand
from " to 80 hours and then is ready
for the still. First converted into
steam, it is condensed by cold and the
liquid thus obtained in crude whisky

as "singlings." This is again distilled

A NEW MILL ENTERPRISE.
w. w. WOIedSe and Il. G. PhiIpot to
Erect n $4,000 Plant.

A new planning mill is soon to be
added to Savannah's industries. 1t is
now being erected by Messrs. w. w.
Woledge and T. G. Philpot on what
is known as lot No. 55 Springfield
plantation. The plant. which will rep
resent an investment of 100000 is now
building and will be in shape to begin
operations Oct. /.
Primarily, it is to be a planning mill,
and among it's apparatus will be the
largest dimension planer in the city,
one that has a capacity to handle a
stick of 20x30 inches. A feature of
the plant will be a wood yard, where
stuff suitable for fuel will be made
for that purpose by steam splitters
and afterward put into marketable
packages by an automatic bundler.
The firm of Woledge & Philpot will
also become resident agents for the
Georgia and Carolina Brick Company,
and it's business in this line promises
to be not the least important of the
several that will be conducted.
The new firm yesterday filed a petit
ton with City Council asking that the
city make such connections with the
water mains as will give the mill a
supply of water for its boilers and
other needs, and asking further that
a water plug be established at the mill
as a protection against fire. the petit
ton alleging that unless this is done
the insurance rates on the mill will be
almost doubled.
The city department having this
work in charge was asked for these
grants some time ago, but had to deny
them on the ground that the budget
for the year had been exhausted all
ready. The petitioners therefore ask
Council to allow them to put in the
desired connections and pay for them
and allow the city to reimburse them
out of the next budget. The matter
will come before Council tonight.
Mr.. Philpot. who will be directly in
charge of the operation of the new
mill. has had a long and varied expe-
rience in the lumber business, which
he knows thoroughly. having been
connected for fifteen years with MIR.
j. j. McDonough. Mr. Woledge also
is well known as an enterprising and
progressive man connected with many
fiourishing enterprises.

tional statistics gathered; this inform
alton to be furnished to members of
the General Educational board whose
officers will be present.
Nearly all the county superintend-
ents of education in the state have sig

Six have not been heard from. Where
any superintendent cannot attend he
has been asked to send in his place
some member of the county board.
THE day sessions will be devoted to
these round table conferences and the
eliciting of information. At the night
meetings there will be public addresses.
Among them will be one by Dr. c.. d.

ular education. 1t is expected also
that Governor ELECT ]. NJ. Terrell will
be present and make an address dur
ing the meeting.
THE superintendent will be accom-
modated. so far as they desire, in the

JUNIOR ORDER MEN
PROGRAMME OF STATE CoNVEN-
TION NEXT WEEK.
ONE HUNDRED DELEGATES.
ORDER NEARLY HALF A CENTURY
OLD.

Its Semi-CentenniaI Celebration n
Part OF the Convention Pro-
gramme Visitors Coming From
Various Parts of the State-SOme
of the Matters to Be Discussed.
Objects of the Order Explained.
The state convention of the Junior
Order of United American Mechanics
will be held in Savannah next week.
Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. and
10.
Besides the regular business meet
ings' which will be held, probably in
the knights of Pythias' hall, there will
be carriage rides, suppers and other
forms of entertainment for the visiting
delegates.
The address of welcome will be made
by Mayor Myers, and will be respond
ed to by r. B. Blackburn of At
lanta. Nearly one hundred delegates
are expected, among whom will be
several who stand high in the national
councils of the order. Among the
national representatives are G. c.
Lebey, H. Y. Garrett, j. r. Stofer and
w. r. Dillingham;.
Among the matters to be considered
by the convention is the election of
officers and an increase in the initia-
ton fee. The last named is almost
an assured piece of legislation, as near
ly ali of the officers have expressed
themselves in favor of it.
The principal officers of the state
council are: w. Lee Summers, state
counsellor; w. R. Holman, state vice
counsellor; w. F. Grubbs, junior past
counsellor; w. r. Dillingham;, state
secretary.
Nearly fifty years ago the order was
established in a small council of the
Order of United American Mechanics
as a sort of preparatory school to
recruit and train applicants for adj
mission to the parent body, but its
growth in membership has been so
phenomenal and it's broader latitude
in principles and objects so marked
that it has long since drifted away
from its moorings and gone to house
keeping for itself
The objects of the order are:
First. To maintain and promote the
interests of Americans (natiVe or nat
uralizeO and shield them from the
depressing effects and unrestricted i'm
migration; to assist them in obtaining
employment, and to encourage them In
business.
Second. To establish an insurance
branch and a sick and funeral fund
Third To uphold the American free
public school system; to prevent any
interference herewith, and to encour-
age the reading of the Holy Bible
therein.
Fourth. To promote and maintain
national orphans home, and,
Fifth. To encourage temperance in
all things, especially the liquor habit.

Mr.. Hugh Logan looks for an active

he bases on the general good times
which now prevail, and the fact the
people will be free buyers of all kinds
of luxuries.
Contracts are now being made for
fall supplies, said Mr.. Logan yester-
day, land the fact the best are being
arranged for indicates the confidence
the dealers have in the ability of the
people to buy. Supplies will come to
Savannah from Northern and Western
markets. Much of what goes into To-
cal consumption is produced here, but
there are many things which come
from a distance, none of which are
brought here unless conditions promise
to be good. This is certainly the case
this year. My opinion is the people Of
Savannah may expect to have their
market as well supplied as any in the

a fermenter and produces sweet mash,
four and half gallons are obtained
from each bushel. Where steam is
used, the result is not so great, but the
process is much easier.
The MOOnshine Still.
The principal piece of mechanism in
making whiskey is the STILL and there
are almost as many kinds of stills as
there are members of illicit distilleries.
1t is, properly speaking, in two parts,
the flake cam" or receptacle for
holding the mash that is to be boiled,
and the worm" the cooled piece of
metal into which the steam passes and
over which running water causes the
steam to condense and emerge from
the mouth of the worm in drops,
whence the process derives it's name,
the Latin word for drop being stilla2
OF course, where the WhiSkey is
made for home consumption, the still
is small affair and the maker not
wanting to go to the open to make
his purchase, or not being able to
stand the expense, is hard put some
times to get a machine that will dis
till.
Lard Cans Used.
AS far as the flake" can is con-
fitting top will answer, but the trouble
comes in getting a worm that will
work 1t must be air tight so as to
hold the steam inside, and it must be
so made that the water that causes
the condensation will not get into the
booze. The revenue officers say that
there are all kinds of worms used by
the distillers. Every one is familiar
with the big copper worm that APP
pears in the illustrated dictionaries OPP
posite the word, but not everybody
would recognize all that the officers
have seen as true worms. Some are
merely lengths of pipe with a crook
or two in it. Others are shaped some
what like a giant letter S, being laid
fiat. In South Georgia there is some
times used a still that has a worm like
a drum, the water passing through an
opening in the center and the drops
gathering in the circular parts
around it.
wash Boiler as a still.
One still raided some time ago was
common wash boiler with a big top,
something like a top hat only that
it expanded toward the outer edge
The worm used with this was a piece
of ordinary gas pipe. One of the rev.
enue men in the Savannah office said
that he had seen a worm used that
was nothing more than one of the old
style gun barrels. In HARRISON coun-
ty there was captured not long ago
a still made of a hot-water boiler,
around which pipe had been coiled in
curious way. Another ingenious
still was made of a sheet of copper
folded and divided into intersections
inside of strips of wood, the whole
thing being immersed in the water.
In Augusta there was exhibited some
time ago a still made from an ordin-
airy sized tomato can, almost as small
as the one raided near Atlanta
But perhaps the best distilling story
that has ever been printed was of
the moonshiner in a Georgia prison
who made moonshine in Jail. Having
access to fire, he took his corn bread,
fermented 1t, boiled it in the coffee
pot, and in place of a worm caught
the steam in a piece of the prison
blanket, squeezing it out when soaked
The product was alcoholic enough to
be called whiskey.
