daylight the deputies came out of their
hiding places and went up the road in
the direction from which the wagon
had come. They passed several
houses occupied by negroes, who
poked their heads out of the
doors and around corners, and
they knew at once that they were
watched. This convinced them that
they were on the right track, and a
short distance further, at the next
of a negro and followed in the direc-

and brick furnace were there and the
still had been operated within a short
time
After breaking up the fermenters and
destroying the furnace, the raiders
went on a search for the owner of the
still. Retracing their way back a mile
or more they came to the farm house
where Gordon Lane lived and told him

every thing and the officers began a

found several five-gallon jugs in wnlch
there had been new whisky and out IN
the garden in a fence corner they touhu
a couple of sacks of malt which had
evidently been concealed there but
a few hours.
The officers reminded Lane OF ms

RAIDED ILLICIT DISTILERY
IN LINCOLN COUNTY
Deputy Basch Broke Up a 1oo0aIIon outfit Near
Lisbon.

Deputy Collector of Internal Reeve
nue. Theo. Basch returned yesterday
from a raid on an illicit distillery in
Lincoln county. in which 500 gallons
of mash, thirty gallons of ''singlings"
and the furnaces, thirteen fer
mentors and nearly everything
about the distillery, except the still
itself, were captured.
The furnace and fermenters
were broken UP, and the mash
and "singings" were taken charge
of by the raiders. Three ar
rests were made, Gordon Lane, white,
and Joseph Morse and James Remsen,
colored, for illicit distilling. Lane is
believed to have been running the still,
and Morse and Remsen to have been
employed there. All three were taken
before United States Commissioner CAL
vim of Augusta.
The raid was planned by Deputy
Marshal Stolnaker, J. B. Murray of
Augusta and Deputy Basch of Savan-
nah, upon information received by the
marshal. The party drove forty-five
miles from Thomson, in McDuffie coun-
~. to within a mile of where the still
was reported to be located, on a small
branch, about mile from the Wash
ington road leading from Washington
to Lisbon, in the upper part of Lincoln
county. The raiders reached the turn
off from the Washington road near
where they were told the still was
working. about 3 o'clock in the morn
ing in a downpour of rain. The guide
which they expected to meet there
did not show up, and they decided to
haul up in the bushes by the roadside
and wat for daylight They had been
waiting something over an hour when
they saw a wagon coming from the d.
rection in which they believed the still
TO be. They kept quiet in the bushes,
and the wagon passed them and stopped
a short distance down the road.
The raiders had evidently been seen,
and they believed their jig was up.
