reached her side in time to assist her
in mounting the ear steps.

Curious Corn Harvest In Pieken..

moonshiners, and no doubt many mean
things are being said about the South
Carolina liquor law and the officers
who are enforcing 1t. Round about a
certain distillery, licensed by the Fed
eral government, which does business

Chief Constable Cureton, assisted by
Constables Coleman and McCravey.
has found planted in the ground, with
no stamps attached, just 300 gallons Of
pure, unadulterated corn whisky. The
Seizure was made on the nights Of the
22nd, 23rd and oath, and probably ag-
sregate the largest amount of un-
stamped liquor ever seized in this
state. It means a loss Of about $500
to the owners, whoever they may be,
and will doubtless go great way to-
ward breaking up the liquor business
in this county. Division Chief Cureton
and the officers with him deserve great
credit for their efficient work.

Work at tho Dam.

Rock Hill Herald, Of Wednesday:
Work on the Catawba Power compa-
nys dam Is about to be resumed In
earnest. The winters cold andGbigh
water have interfered considerably
with work on the dam proper, but
there has been no suspension In work
at the quarries, where thousands OF
tons Of stone are being prepared for
the work Of the summer. At present
there are only about $50 men In the
employ of the company, but arrange
ments are now being made for doub-
ling the force. Mr.. w. s. Lee, the
new superintendent, went to New York
Saturday night for the purpose OF
looking over the plans and preparing
to push the work during the favorable
months, with the view and expecta-
tion Of completing the dam before the
hard weather of the winter sets IN.
The foundation for the power house,
which extends out into the river about
$50 feet, having been finished, and
large part Of the building stones hav-
ing been quarried, 1t Is expected that
great progress will be made when the
spring sets In fairly.
