MORE THAN A YEAR
SINCE OPEN SALE OF
LIQUORS IN CIRCUIT
NOT A SINGLE FEDERAL LIQUOR
LICENSE IN PAST TWELVE
MONTHS.
ATTORNEY GENERAL is PLEASED
Declares That the Reduction in the
Liquor Sales Has Caused a Noticea.
BILE Decrease In Crimes in This
Section.

Not a single federal liquor license
was taken out in this section of the
state when the licenses expired on
June 30. In this judicial circuit there
has not been a single liquor license
issued in more than year. It has
been two years in most of the coun.
ties since any one was bold enough
to hold prima facie evidence of guilt
of violating the liquor laws.
Attorney General Horace Frierson,
in commenting on the situation, said
that it was growing easier all the
time to secure convictions in LIQUOR
cases and that as the result there was
less and less liquor sold in the circuit
With the tendencies of juries to
convict, the attitude of the Judges,
the hazards of the business the boot
Logging clan has been practically
routed in this section. The attorney
general had hard time two or three
years ago in some of the counties to
get convictions, but now whenever
there is any proof it is no trouble to
punish the bootlegger.
The officers all over the circuit are
cooperating with the attorney gener
al in the enforcement of the laws
There are of course occasional viola
tions. Back alley bootleggers contin
ue to ply their nefarious trade but
there has been no open sale of liquor
in the district for more than year
The result has been a decrease in al
kinds of crime.

0EyAND FOR SHEEP
Better THAN KNOWN
N SEVERAL YEARS
osclARE THAT FARMERS ARE
BEGINNING TO APPRECIATE
FLoCkS.
SUPPLY WILL Be INCREASED
n.ot;ts for the Past Two or Three
Years From Lambs and Wool Have
Given Quite an Impetus to the IN
dustry.

There is a better demand for sheep
This summer than there has been in
Marry county in several years. This
is the statement made by practically
oil of the sheep dealers. The farm
0rs of the county, from present indi-
cations, are going to market larger
crop of lambs next spring than they
have had in the past. two years. =.
l.. Hays, one of the big sheep
men Of the county, said today that he
had already disposed of four car loads
NJ ewes and could sell more. Howev-
er. the sheep are scarce and hard to
get and he declared that he did not
believe that he would be able to get
any more sheep at the prices, at
which he had been selling them.
For the past three or four years
the number of sheep in this county
has been steadily on the decline. The
farmers have not been able to with
stand the temptation Of the big prices
and have been selling their old sheep
as well as the lambs. The result has
been a depletion of the supply and
fewer lambs went to market from this
county this spring than have gone
from here in a long time.
With high prices for both lambs
and wool the sheep industry has re
ceved quite an impetus and farmers
who had disposed of their focks are
restocking but they will have to pay
more than they had to pay year OF
two years ago. Many farmers ex
press the opinion that with prices fol
lambs that they have received the
past three years there has been more
money in sheep than in any other an
imal on the farm.
NO, l have had no trouble in dis
posing of Sheep" said Mr.. Hays. "lr
this connection l can tell you that ad
vertising in The Herald is a mighty
good investment. Farmers called me
up, told me that they had seen my ad
vertisement in The Herald, and
promptly sold them"
