A Fine Launch,

Capt. Adams and Engineer Brad
ley with the new electric inch
Wizard arrived last week auu will
spend the winter at this place, The
Wizard will be used for picnic par
ties, and will run to Haw Creek and
other points for charter. On
Fridays of each week Capt. Adams
proposes to make regular run to
Palatka and return.
The launch is AZ feet long, has 10
horse power engines and can make
10 miles an hour. There is COM
modious cabin and plenty of room to
make large party comfortable even
in inclement weather. The boat is
much larger than the "Mist" which
Capt. Adams had here last season.
The Wizard with Capt. and Mrs
Adams and Engineer Bradley left
New Haven, Conn, on November
9Th, and sailed the little craft all the
way. During the time occupied by
the trip they encountered much
heavy weather, but at such times
they layed by in some safe harbor.
Much of this trip can be made by IA
small boat like the Wizard through
sheltered runs, but occasionally
runs of from 30 to 40 miles have to
be made outside. In making these
outside runs Capt. Adams bided his
time and went outside only in calm
weather. He says the party enjoyed
the trip greatly. During the week
many have called to inspect the
pretty launch, which was built by
CAPT. Adams during the summer,

passed all around that I was an inter
nal revenue agent, and the boys had
been laying for me for more than a
week. When they found out their
mistake, invitations came to me from
all directions in the mountains TO
come up and visit them. l am sure
they would have given me a royal
time; for they are said to be as hos
pitable as they are hostile, in dis
tinguishing friend from enemy"
The commissioner of internal rev.
enue says that during the last fiscal
year upwards of 500 illicit distilleries
were discovered; more than 500 were in
Georgia, and almost 500 in North Car
DINA. The others were distributed
over the states of Virginia, South Car
olina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi and Arkansas. The total
seizures probably would not number
more than one-third of those in actual
operation. Rabun county, Georgia. is
the banner district for moonshine
whisky. Fully IS per cent. of the pop
ulation of that county either owns,
operates, deals in or furnishes mate
rails for the illicit stills, or consumes
the product of the majority of them.
Practically no man in this county can
hold Office of any kind without openly
avowing his sympathy with the moon
sinners and their business.
In the twilight depths of some foli-
age-screened gorge in the widest,
toughest and most picturesque scenery
of the numberless high mountains of
northern Georgia or central North
Carolina, the moonshiner selects the
site of his still. Distant from public
roads or well-known trails, in parts
well-nigh inaccessible to strangers,
sometimes in cave excavated for the
purpose, always half mile from his
dwelling. the operator sets up his still;
sometimes it is in the open air covered
with rude roof of split boards. Here,
hoping for exemption from detection,
or ready to fight if detected, the work
is begun and carried on.
There is always an exhaustless
stream of crystal pure water near by.
for without it the still would be
worthless.
Nearby the village at the foot Of
each mountain, there Is always hol.
low tree or small cave in which the
purchaser leaves jug with the price
of the amount of whisky desired. Aft
er several hours, the purchaser goes
to the depository ana finds his money
gone. but the jug contains the whis-
ky. The purchaser is always ready
to swear that he does not know who
made or sold him the stun.

Liability to Deafness.

A French surgeon says that men
are more subject to aural diseases
than women and that out of every
seven middle-aged persons there are
two who do not hear as well with
one ear as with the other. In every
thousand children under IS years of
age four show symptoms of some
ear diseases and ak a marked de.
ficiency in hearing power. The liza
bility to disease increases from birth
to the age of 40 and then begins grad
ually to decrease as old age advances.
Out of the total number Of cases spb-
iected to surgical treatment, it is
estimated that about SO per cent. are
cured and 80 per cent. permanently
relieved.-Chicago Chronicle.
