GEORGIA IS NOTED FOR
IT'S "MOONSHINE- BOOZE
Better Than For It's Cotton or Other
Better Products.

Atlanta, March lit will surprise
lots of law abiding Georgians to know
that this Empire State of the South g
even more famous throughout the
world for its moonshine whiskey and
illicit stills than for its cotton crop.
The Georgia mountains are the moon d.
sinners last stands. When he is driv-
en- from that stronghold he will be
practically wiped off the continent.
Fow many hundreds of these Illicit
stills are in operation in these noun
tains, not even the revenue officers
know. An official report, however.
compiled this morning, shows that in
Alabama, Kentucky, South and North
Carolina combined less illicit distilling
is carried on than in the state Of
Georgia alone. This means, of course.
that there are more illicit stills in
Georgia than in any other similar ex-
tent of territory in the world. In the
past month alone SO stills were re-
duced to junk, and during the month
previously 1913 were destroyed The
output of these, il is said, though some
of them run up to as much as 200 gal
lone day, is not as much as a drop
IN the bucket in the total.

Americas warehousemen, who for a

in the advance scored yesterday,

tive futures months scored a gain of
ten or dozen points over the close or
the day previous.
The local market is extremely dull,
with nothing doing in the way of sales
and the several warehouses practical
ly deserted alike by sellers and buy
ers. The finer grades of cotton have
nearly all been sold out here, al
though there are still in stock proba-
bly, 900 or 900 bales of all grades.
Much of this cotton will be carried
through to the next season, as owners
do net show a disposition to sell at
current prices. Interest, locally, is
centered in the next crop, which, by
the way, has not yet been planted, ra-
Their than in the remnant of the 1912
crop, the greater portion of which
was sold at very satisfactory prices.

METHODISTS ARE
AGAINST THE "OPEN SUNDAY
Methodist Minister'S Association Has
Appointed Investigation Committee

Atlanta, March II. - Immediately
following the most remarkable Sunday
Atlanta has ever had in freedom OF
amusements, the Methodist Minister'S
association has met and appointed a
special committee of three men to in
vestigate alleged violations of the Sab
bath and to check what the associa-
ton calls the citxs course toward
worldliness on Sunday.
The loosening up of the old puritan
meal blue laws under which Atlanta
has existed practically all her life has
caused more comment, more argument
pro and and con, than any political
affair in recent months. 1t is estimat-
ed that fully $4,000 Atlanta people
thoroughly enjoyed themselves on Sun
day. This is thing which the Meth
odist ministers profess to believe
should be corrected A motion picture
theatre opened by special permission
of the mayor, and was literally packed

dreds of people went to Atlanta
country club to play golf and tennis.
More people went to church by az
tual count than to all the places of
amusement combined. The objection
OF the Methodist preachers in not that
Sunday amusement keeps the people
! from going to church, but that having
good time on Sunday is essentially
wrong in itself. There is every pros
pect of an exceedingly interesting and
somewhat bitter fight in the immediate
future on this Sunday question. the
thing that complexities the probable
outcome is the fact that in many in,

GOOO CROP OF OATS
PREDICTED FOR SUMTER
One Of the Best Crops in
Years

Sumter county is going to produce
this year the greatest oat crop ever
grown here, if conditions continue fav-
orable," said Mr.. ]. j. Wilson, one o.
the county's practical and progressive
farmers, while discussing yesterday the
agricultural prospect in general
throughout the county, and the big
oat crop in particular.
Mr.. Wilson has seventy-five acres
planted in oats, which are now almost
knee high and growing finely. He has
just given them dressing of muriate
Of potash and nitrate of soda, which
will force very rapid growth. What
is true of Mr.. Wilson's crop is equal
ly true of hundreds of other oat fields
in Sumter. The seasons have been
propitious, and with perhaps the grea;-
est acreage this spring that has ever
been planted, an abundant yield,
amounting, perhaps, to more than 2O0,-
600 bushels, seems assured at tn
stage.
The corn crop in Sumter this year
is large one as well, and these i'm
portant grain crops will be among the
best Sumter has produced in many
years.

SPRING HATS DARK
AS WELL AS SMALL
Narrow TOquGS Once More
Seen

The first spring hats are such de-
cided reaction from the large hats of
the winter that the contrast is decid-
edly noticeable. Undoubtedly midsum-
mer will bring wide brims, but just
now most of the daytime hats are
small. A great many are of the toque
order-and these are remarkable for
being unusually long from the back to
the front and quite narrow.
Other models are very narrow as 70
trim and have rounded crowns of the
fine braids-Milan, hemp tagal, Tam
o'-Shanter crowns of satin or panne
velvet are shown with brims of straw
or horsehair.
Let us emphasize two important
facts-the simplicity of trimmings and
the undertaking of brims with silk o.
velvet of contrasting color. There IS
ma positive rule for the placing Of
trimming. 1t is almost always as-
gressively outstanding, but it may be
at back, front or side.
Colors are mostly dark, an unusual
not for spring, but of the softened
tones we call pastel. Trimmings COW
err the whole millinery range, ostric.',
paradise and many fancy ylumes;
wings, quilts, aigrettes made of flow
ers and of feathers; large-looped bows
of ribbon and silk bands embroidered
in crewels and beads and the justly
popular moisture-proofed malines.
Entire hats aer made of this maline
the frames covered smoothly, just as
they would be treated if silk or velvet
were used. Several layers are neces-
sary, but even so the light and airy
effect is not sacrificed. One little tho

CORDELE CLUB OFFICER
FINED SlOO IN COURT
Case, However, viii be Ger
tiOrariGd

Cordele, March He. B. Causey,
manager of the Commercial club, was
convicted before Mayor Harder yester-
day on the charge of keeping on hand
for sale Intoxicating liquors, and his
fine was assessed at $1OO.
Immediately following the decision
Of Mayor Harder, Mr. Causey's counsel
gave notice of his intention to certior-
ari the case to the superior court, ana
The defendants bond was assessed 1T
$500 He Immediately made the bond.
The case came to trial with over 100
witnesses subpoenaed in behalf of the
city. Both sides had employed allie
counsel.
All of the witnesses having been
summoned in behalf of the city, only
a few of them were sworn by the
prosecution in the hope that without
making the hearing unnecessarily long
evidence could be obtained by these
sufficient to bring about a conviction
of the club manager.
Several witnesses testified that thew
were members of the locker club and
stated that they had obtained beer and
liquor by first having notified the
manager to place their order for which
taey furnished the money to Causev uD-
on placing the order. For the amount
OF beer purchased by them, these
witnesses testified they were given
coupons, which they presented each
time and these coupons were punched
for the amount obtained at the time.
DR.. S Mathis, veterinary surgeon
testified that he had purchased liouor
by the drink at the club, though it was
not brought out that Causey knew of
this.
1t was argued by counsel for the
prosecution that the liquor of tho
members of the so-called locker club
was not kept under separate lock and
Key, and it was also alleged by coun-
sci for this side that the state tax
OF $500 had not been paid by the man
ager of the club. This was broueh.
cut in the attempt to show that the
club operated in open violation of the
law. Causcey had previously stated
lhat the tax had been paid, though at
the trial of his case, he produced mo
evidence to prove his statement. How.
ever, the attorneys for the club man-
ager contended that a discussion of
this point was irrelevant and had no
weight in the case then on trial what
ever.
When questioned by a reporter. w.
j. Musselwhite, tax collector of Crisn
county, stated that Causey had paid
the state tax. The case was on trial
flom 10 o'clock in the morning until 8
O'Clock in the afternoon.

CHAPTER XVI.
Mahomed Rides Alone.

It was as if the stiffness of the des-

brittle palm-leaves against one an
