SEND MEN TO PLATTSBURG.
Carlisle Secures Representation at
Officers Training Camp.

For the past eight or ten days
Headmaster J. C. Guilds, of Carlisle
school, and DR.. H. N. Snyder, OF
Spartanburg, have been working to
secure representation for Carlisle
school at the officers training camp
Plattsburg, n. Y. The plan of the
government is to accept delegations
at this camp from the schools and
colleges of the country, give them
a course in military training, and
send them back this fall to train the
students in their respective schools
The Carlisle authorities are delight
ed that the government has given
recognition to our school here and
that she will be represented by a
group of splendid young men.
This will put the military train
ing of Carlisle next winter under
government regulations and super
vision, which assures the young men
who expect to attend Carlisle the
best military advantages obtainable
in preparatory schools.
The following have been detailed
to represent Carlisle. They are di-
rected to report at Plattsburg Satur-
day morning:
Representing the faculty, Prof. W
G. Duncan, Laurens.
Students:; George Hawkins
Hartsville; Watson Luther, Colum-
bia; Marion McCants, Cameron
Fletcher Kirkland, Bamberg; Chevis
Prosser, Johnsonville; Chevier Pace
Eulonia; Hesse Rast, Holly Hill
Dewey Reynolds, Paxville; Fred Ste
vens, Monck's Corner; George You
mans, Cottageville.
Under the government plan, Car
Isle is entitled to three others, but
up to this writing these had not been
selected. The camp will run until
September l6, giving the men just
time to get back for the opening OF
school on the 18th.

Capture Whiskey Still.

Chief of Police w. G. Kirkland and
Sheriff S. G. Ray captured home
made whiskey still on Wednesday of
last week near Bamberg. The con-
traption was taken in charge by the
officers and brought to town, ani is
now in the possession of the sheriff.
The outfit, very crude affair, was
located in well hidden spot near
the city, and at the time of it's cap
ture it was filled with '*mash" and
ready to be fired up. No arrests have
been made.
This is the first still to be captur-
ed by the officers since prohibition
went into effect in this county. The
still has been viewed by quite mum.
ber of people, and it is quite a GU
riosity, and shows to what lengths
people will go to get liquor. 1t is
made from a five-gallon kerosene can,
with a. coil made of half-inch iron
pipe, the curves being negotiated by
means of short lengths of piping cou-
pied together with elbows. The mo-
dus operandi, so the sheriff states, is
to hang the can up by the handle,
and put the coil in a tub Of water.
Then put blow pipe under the can.
When the steam rises. it is forced out
through the coil, which is cooled by
tie water, solidifying the steam or
vapor, and you have blind tiger liquor
OF some sort dripping out of the coil
Not having had any experience in
this sort of industry, we regret we
cannot give more full details.
