Large Distillcry Destroyed.

Easley, Nov. 17.-Probably the
largest distilling plant seen in Pick
ems county in ten years was destroy
ed yesterday morning by Rural Po-
licemen j. T. Mckinney and B. B.
Laboon. Twenty-Five hundred gal
Ions Of beer and modern steam dis
tillery were destroyed and two men,
Dover Hinkle and Will Albertson
were captured.
The plant was located on Keowee
rtYcr Just DGiow the junction )f
Whitewater and ToHuway riynrs n d
wa" in tnll opcratiou when discovt =
cd. The quantity OF mash destroy Il
was enough to have turned out at
least 100 gallons Of whiskey. The
plant was -befng run day and night,
and coca-cola bottles full Of kerosene
oil and fitted with large rope for
wicks were found around the plant.
The men were brought to Pickens,
but were later released on bond. The
penalty for this offense Is rather
heavy now owing to the new law,
which prohibits the manufacture of
foodstuffs into alcoholic beverages.

LExINGToN's NIGHT PREACHER.
Rev. w. B. Aull Has Heard Major
Perry, the Sleeping Preacher.

In Lexington county, not far from
LeesV1lle, there lives one Of the ante
belIum darkies. He Is about rs
years Of age and has the appearance
of having tinge OF Indian blood.
He Is modest and retiring and
shrinks from publicity. He has no
education-llot enough to write his
name. He has large family Of
children. Since his wife died he
works q little patch" along with
part of his family.
According to his statement in his
sermons he has been preaching every
night, with the exception of few
months. since 1880. There is not
any fake" about this sleeping
preacher. He was at the theater in
columbia on one occasion, but the
'experimenters" handled him SO
roughly in attempting to arouse him
from his comatose state that he re-
fused to- appear any more on exhibi-
ton. He becomes rigid in body at
times during his discourse and has
to be shaken in order to cause him
to proceed.
IN MS waking moments he cannot
repeat any Of the texts he quotes and
yet he always quotes them correctly,
and no one seems to remember that
he ever uses d text more than once.
This Is all the more remarkable when
we remember he has preached 81
years and 1856 times year and oc-
casionally an extra" sermon each
night. In other words he has preach
ed in that time over $4,000 ser.
mons. Psychologists from different
parts of the country have studied
him, but have no satisfactory solu-
tion.
will repeat, as best I can recall,
the sermon I heard him preach last
Friday night, November 16, and give
1t to The Courier for publication in
next weeks issue. So If space Is
found 1t may appear in print.
l can say also that the doctrine he
breaches Is Scriptural and the lam
guage good for one who has never

and was received with marked ~atten-
ton by the assembly that filled the
