terday afternoon in an automobile
being in the custody of Deputy Unit
ed States Marshal C. E. Freeny, who
made the arrest after the evidence
had been worked up by Deputy
Internal Revenue Inspector Talbert,
whose headquarters are in this city.
r. A. Prestage, who is a farmer,
waived examination and gave bond
in the sum of $500 to await action of
the federal grand jury in Meridian
next month.
Officers state that an improvised
still was found on the farm of Pres
tage, and that one unusual feature of
it was that a rifle barrel was used
as the worm. A few weeks ago a
negro who was up for moonshining
frankly told Commissioner Ricketts,
that rife barrel makes the best
kind of a worm"
Prestage is about As years of age and

in from Leake county, seemed indif-

discuss the charges against him.
Hagan Quick farmer who lives
near Carthage, in Leake county, broke
all state walking records to catch a
train so as to be here in time for
the preliminary hearing of Prestage.
1t was o'clock Wednesday after

run the risk of getting a fine for
not appearing when the case was
called so began an all night hike

hoped to catch train at a. m. for

minutes after the train pulled out.
He walked until noon and reached

THREAD JUMPED FORTY
PER CENT WITH WAR
L. L. MuIIinnix Tells of Disappointed
Buyers Who Came Too Late.

l.. l.. MullinniX, of Hattiesburg, has
just returned from the East where he
has been purchasing for the Davidson
Company here. Mr.. Mullinnix, who
has been gone for some time, was in
New York when war in Europe was de-
clared. Fortunately, he said, he had
completed all his buying, for prices
Immediately went up from twenty to
thirty per cent. Thread, for instance,
he says, jumped 40 per cent inside of
two weeks.
German linens, French gloves and
laces, in fact all those things
which are manufactured abroad have
gone up almost out of sight, because
it will be long time before they will
be imported again.
The disappointment of those buyers
who came too late was keen, said Mr..
Mullinnix, because the difference of a
few days meant a difference Of much
money to the large buyers.
All his orders were placed Mr.. Null
linnix says, before the prices went up
and the Davidson store will be able
to supply their customers with goods
at "before the war" prices.
