of the Now York Central Railway, was

Bringing In the Stills.

of'nHhu WI uo- -outtS.
Last Thursday Deputy Marshal w. B..
F. Corbin aud Collector e. A. Aiken
made a raid in the Long Creek and
MILESTONE sections of this county, with
the result that two stills, one of unusual
size and capacity, were destroyed. Near
Long Creek the still, cap and outfit and
5000 gallons of beer and mash were cut
down and destroyed. j. w. Phillips and
w. p. Moore were arrested in the plant
and brought to Walhalla for preliminary
examination. The case against them
was sent up to the United States Court
for trial, and the two men were released
on bond for their appearance at Green
vile at the next term of court.
Near MILESTONE another still was de-
stroyed later in the day. The outfit had
been removed prior TO the arrival of the
revenue officers, but about 1000 gallons
of beer and mash were destroyed. No
arrests were made at this place. The
plant was located short distance from
the home of George Shed, and it is
thought that he is prominently con-
nected with its operation.
