PROHIBITION LENDS IMPETUS
TO INDUSTRY IN NORTH
CAROLINA
HORRIBLE STUFF
Killing Off Customers at Awful
Rate-U. S. Law Forbiddinq
Wartime Manufacturing of
Legal Whiskey Aids Business

1t has long been observed that when
ever a new prohibition law goes into
effect, or the taxes on liquor are raised
there is at once an increase in the IL
licit manufacture OF whisky and Other
fiery beverages by the process known
as moonshining.
Fron the Charlotte IN. c. Observ.
er, a paper published down in the ia
Gus cd mOonshine country, we learn
tnat tie art of moonshining has re-
ceived q polishing IN"
according to the Charlotte Observer
much ingenuity is being developed in
the process of distillation. The cum
Der oEe copper still with its teIl-tale
volume of smoke has given away 10
the more refined devices not so easy
Of detection, but capable of running
out al manner of distilled stuff. The
North Ca%rolinans. according to the OBJ
server. are also giving a great deal of
attention to the advantage of securing
outfits which are easily transported
from n place to the other.
New Lease on Life.
The Observer remarks that moon
shining is nus taking on new life be-
Z of the passage of the law which
prohibits the manufacture of whisky
during the war. Says the Observer:
In the old days of blockading apple
brandy was the ~favorite product of
the mConshine still. Occasionally runs
were made Of peach and cherry, but
apple jack was the standby. The
more p%retentious of the distillers
would turn out corn whisky exclusive
ly. The enforcement of the prohibit
ton laws has not only necessitated re-
sort to diversified methods of distill-
ing, but has turned the attention Of
the mo%onshiners to new possibilities.
Some of their products are said to be
fierce. In the section around Wilson
the favorite tipple is called monkey
rum y is a white fluid and a tum-
blerful bites like so mani wasps be-
ing swallowed. But il seems to be
manufactured with no fear of the law,
and travelling people tell the Observer
that it a be bought in some towns
almost openly. Some blockaders evi
IDENTIFY resort to almost any kind of
material that will put a kick" into
their product. Jamaica ginger is the
most wholesome OF the various articles
they use. Bay rum is another ingredi-
ent, while concentrated I've gives it

like this that is behind the many crazy
deeds reported from time to TINE in
the papers of the state. The blockade
trade is not being supplied with liquors
of any degree of purity, as in the older
times.
One not unnatural consequence of
drinking this horrible stuff is that ii
is gradually and somewhat violently
killing of its consumers" And no
wonder. Will the steady extension OF
the prohibitory laws gradually bring
the northern states to this same atti-
tude toward the manufacture of liq.

You May Find
It In Stocking
Cincinnati authority says your
troublesome cOrnS just
loosen and fall off

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
corns between the toes just loosen in
their sockets and fall off the next day
if you will apply directly upon the corn
a few drops of a drug called freezone,
says a Cincinnati authority.
You merely put a drop or two of this
freezone on the tender, touchy corn to-
day and instantly the corn stops hurting,
then tomorrow sometime you may find
the old torturous pest somewhere in
your stocking, having fallen off entirely
without a particle of soreness, pain or
irritation. The skin surrounding and
beneathsthe former corn will be as
healthy, pink. and smooth as the palm
of your hand.
A quarter ounce of freezone is suffi-
cient to rid ones feet of every corn and
%callus, and any druggist will charge but
a few cents for it. 1t is a compound
made from ether.

EVANGELIST TALKS
ON FUTURE HOME

The interest at the Gospel Ten,
corner Jefferson and Jackson streets
continues 10 grow.
he subject last evening Of Mans
Future Home was Of more than usual
interest.
Evangelist Westcott said: 1.-THE
mythical ideas regarding the future
world have cau5ed many people to dis.
believe the Bible and TO question
whether there ever will be a future
life
Mr.. Westcott believes that this earth
Is to restored to its edenic state and
that it will be the home of the re-
deemed.
The speaker read the words OF Jesus
in Math. SIS, blessed are the weak
for they shall inherit the earth lie
said in part: THE great God had a
purpose in the creation Of this earth
and that purpose was that 1t might be
inhabited with righteous beings. be.
lieve that eternal purpose will finally
be wrought out when sin and sinners
have been destroyed from this earth
and Gods being down Of righteousness
and peace set up here.
"A great many people think that
the redeemed will be a lot Of olsen
bodied spirits, but my friends, ! don't
believe that Jesus Christ ever paid
such an infinite price to redeem a lot
on nothings who are to exist nc
where.
Il read that there is TO be a time
OF restitution OF all things and thai
being true, man must be restored back
to the condition Of Father Adam"
Several scriptures were read C
prove that in the future state man
kind will build houses and inhabi
them and that they will plant vine
yards and eat the fruit OF them.
Mr.. WestcOtt said further: 1.-THE
new Jerusalem will descend from
heaven TO this earth and become the
metropolis. There they will have
their city mansion and out on the
earth their country home"
The subject tonight will be blasting
at the Rock Of Ages" In this subject
Mr. Westcott will show that the Bible
Is true in spite Of twentieth century
theology to the contrary.

been reported. was the first direct el-
fort Of the German raiders to harm
persons or property on American

The gas was said by the command
ant OF the coast guard station to have
much the same effect as the mustard
gas used by the Geramns on the ives
tern front. The men were laid out for
more than nalf an hour but apparently
suffered no serious after effects.
While the reports from the com
mandants OF Smith Island coast guard
station and sixth naval district clear

gas attack on the island was deliber-
ate, some officers thought there was
a possibility that the submarine had
discharged the oil and gas after being
wrecked on a reef.
Attention was called 10 the fact that
the action OF salt water on electric
batteries used by submarines gener-
ates chlorine gas which is similar to
mustard gas in its effect and Is deadly

submarine were wrecked it was said.
this gas would be generated and
would come to the surface with the oil

No such possibility. however, was
