Greensboro, N. c., Aug 28.-As the
session of that extra term of Fedora
court approaches illicit distillers il
this section get more bold, or the Off.

Randolph Deputy Banks captured

GERS Banks and Vincent broke up two
in CaSWell county. Eleven Illicit dis
tilleries located and destroyed in one
week speaks right well for the reVe-
nue. officers vigilance, and not so well
for that of the county officers and the
members of the Anti-Saloon League in
those localities. In not one case in ten
however, are the owners OF
these outfits captured or located
An officer today related one case
where it would seem the owner will
be located About a hundred yards
from a still destroyed was found a
four gallon jug of whiskey. The jug
was stopped with the sawed off end of
a broom handle. At near by dwell
ing was found an old broom with a
part of the handle sawed off. and there
were on this handle several hicks

A Flood OF Moonshine.
Judge Oliver II. Allen spent Satur-
day night here. coming in from hold
ing Wilkes court last week. In Wilkes
he said the apple crop is something
wonderful Hundreds of bushels of
the finest were rotting on the ground
because people had more than they
knew what to do with. and it would
pay anybody to go up there and buy
them for shipment. as they could be
bought in the orchards for ten cent $
a bushel 1t looks like they would
convert them into brandy, since he
says there are reported to be fifteen
steam distilleries running in the coun-
ty districts of the county, some of 100
gallons per day capacity. Almost
everybody knows of these, he says, If
reports are reliable, except the county
and Federal officers.
All the attorneys here speak in the
highest terms of Judge Wards judi
cial temperament and legal ability
and would welcome him back. Judge
Shaw has arranged an exchange of
courts, so that he will hold the next
term of Guilford court himself. 1t is
not news here, but still a matter of
considerab BILE comment, favorable ana
otherwise, that at the last term of
court he held here, Judge Shaw was
reported to have stated to violators of
the prohibition law, or to those occuS-
ed of it. that he would hold court
again here soon and they had better
look out for him. as he was deter
mined to have it enforced. The next
term will be almost exclusively a H.
quor case court, mad with the added
advantage of recent statutes making
a defendant accused of this class Of
offenses guilty until he proves himself
innocent the lawyers who generally
appear for defendants of this class, are
saying they expect to have rough le-
gal road to travel.
