Especial to News and Observer)

Selma, n. c., Sept. 5.-Y esterday
morning about 10 o'clock revenue Off
GERS made quite raid on moonshin-
crs operating in the southeastern por-
ton of this county. Leaving this
place early after breakfast, Messrs. j.
p H. Adams, w. \. Stancil, w. G..
Pool ID. G. Downing and A. f. Surls
went via Pine Level to a point about
six miles from that town into a com
munity reputed to be occupied by il
licit distillers. walked in in upon the
men in the very act of their opera
tions, destroyed three stills several
large fermenters and tubs, saturated
the earth with 1900 gallons of beer,
and arrived at Selma last evening in
time for tea, accompanied by eight
moonshiners, six white men and two
blacks, and followed closely by three
wagon loads of demolished distillery
apparatus and fixtures.
Upon arriving close to the scene of
operations, the officers divided forces,
one party, led by Mr.. Buck" Adams,
and the other by Mr. ID. G. Downing,
going in opposite directions, but for
the avowed purpose of circumsCribinS
the place where the supposed distil-
lery was being run, and to shut off all
avenues of escape. The Adams force
found six men operating two distiller-
les, one 175 gallon still and the other
40 gallon still, two men made their es-
cape. but four were captured without
resistance.
While this scene was being enacted
the second squad came upon another
still within thrce-quarters of mile
and there captured four men, but this
was not done SO easily as in the first
capture. When the officers neared this
latter place they were fired on two or
three times by the moonShiners, but
the officers quickly returned the fire,
rushed in upon them and took them
into custody No one was shot or in
iured So that within less than one
mile apart three stills were cut 10
pieces, eight men captured and the
whole operating plants demolished. AS
stated above, the men were brought
here last evening for a pr/minary
hearing before United States COmmis-
sioner c. L. Harris but of their own
motion the case against each of them
was continued to September the 10th,
at which time they will be tried at this
place.

The Weekly Report.

The weekly crop report of the
Weather Bureau says:
While slight Improvement in the
condition of cotton in northeast Texas
and in portions of the central cotton
States is shown, the reports, as a
whole, indicate deterioration in the
average condition of the crop as COM
pared with the previous week. Rust
and shedding continue quite general,
but injury from boil weevils in Texas
is somewhat diminished. Cotton has
opened rapidly throughout the belt,
and the weather has been favorable
for picking, which has been generally
active, having been completed in por-
tions of Alabama and Georgia.
Much tobaccotin the Ohio valley and
middle Atlantic States has been housed
and the remainder is maturing rapidly.
A good crop is generally reported, es-
pecially in the northern part of the
Middle Atlantic States and in New
England.

INFECTED AREA WIDENS.
In Spite of the Efforts to Hold the Dis
ease Within Bounds.
(By the Associated Press. }

Berlin, Sept At was officially
bulletined here today that sc cholera
cases and twenty three deaths have
occurred in Prussia. OF this number
ten new cases and three deaths were
reported up to noon today.
While anxiety is not yet the word
to describe the feeling in the imperial
health office, concern over the cholera
situation does begin to exist Most of
the new cases do not break out among
the ouarantined persons but are sud
denly heard of in detached farm
houses or villages not contiguous to
the Vistula Hence the inference is
that the infected area is widening
slowly and measures to hold the dis
ease strictly within the existing boun-
daries have not been fully successful.
These measures however, are being
sharply increased.
