WILKINSVILLE

w WHkllSNllle, June ZJ.-On lhurS-
day of last week in company with
Mr.. w. S. Wilkinson. Sam Wilkinson.
and Miss Ola Wilkinson. took a
trip to Spartanburg in Mr.. Wilkin-
sons car. We went by way of Gaff-
ney where we struck the National
Highway. The trip was made in
about two hours, including short
stop in Gaffney. Except in few
places the roads were in very good
condition, and as Sam is an expert
driver, we had neither trouble or
h;ndranccs. The trip tooE us through
fine farming section of Cherokee
county and we found crops in good
condition considering the kind of sea-
sons we have had this year. We
spent six hours in the city where we
met many of our old acquaintcnances
and formed some new ones. spent
an hour with my old friend, Hon. j.
G. Otis. who is a prominent member
of the Spartanburg bar. His office is
most pleasantly situated in a suite of
rooms on the sixth floor of the sky
scraper. | understand that he has a
very good and constantly increasing
law practice. This | was glad to
hear for | am partial to our home
,flk and want to see them succeed in
r. Ratever legitimate calling or pro-
fession they may engage. Mr.. Otis
took mo tn the top of the skyscraper
from which | got a srlendid view of
the city as we'll as the county for
miles around. From the sound of the
saw, hammer, chisel and pick, the
city has not yet attained its full
growth. This has been going on
more or less since my first visit and
the other business affairs seem 10
keep step to the music
On our return trip we stopped at
tn" Spring and took draught of it's
cool, life-giving and health preserv-
ING water. This is situated about six
miles west of Gaffnev on the National
Highway and we opne that if it was
provided with hotel and other fa-
cilties for the comfort and enter
tainment, its pleasure seekers would
be an invaluable asset to the wealth
of this county.

visit friends in Pea Ridge soon-per-

Many Ways to Evade
Tennessee Liquor Law,

NASHVILLE. June 9.--In their ef-
forts to carry out the provisions OF
the soft drink" law the inspectors
under Dr. Lucius =. Brown have dis-
covered many different methods of
violating the prohibition laws and
conccaling the illegal beverages.
A favorite method, according to DR..
Brown is for the real goods to be
put in tub If ice water. unlabeled.
Then d lot of alcoholic labels are
thrown in the tub to float on the
water and appear as If they had been
washed off the bottles by the water.
The inspectors have found liquor
stored in ice cream cans, in excava-
tions in the ground. in stables, and
in bedrooms over the stores. Several
times the wives of the soft-drink
keepers have claimed they are just
keeping the liquor In the rooms for
home consumption.
Another favorite plan is to keep the
bottle of whisky from which the
drinks are being sold in the cash reg
lister. AS fast as one bottle is ex-
hausted another is substituted.
