ment, just ask Sheriff Harvey, or De-
putty Summers. who interrupted Pill
at his still in the Sixteenth district,
thereby spelling a good run" of H.
quor that ere now might have quench-
ed the thirst of many thirsty patrons.
Instead, however, Phil lost his still,
and will probably do time on Sum-
ter's roads as a result of his venture.
The Negroes still was located on the
Gatewood place. and when the officers
arrived he showed little evidence of
being disturbed He only had about
part of "one run" stuff on hand when
the sheriff arrived, but was busy pour
ing this chain lightning through the
still again, a process which. it is said
considerably improves the quality. He
put another chunk of wood on the fire
after the officers arrived, and did not
stop his work of shilling until they
told him to come along to the county
Jail, where two charges were made
against him and he was required to
give bond TO await the action of the
grand jury.

HARRIS SURE TO WIN
SAYS JUDGE SWEAT

Atlanta, July 17.-Judge J. L. Sweat
of Waycross, former Judge of the
Brunswick Judicial Circuit, is in At

board of trustees of the Confederate
Soldiers Home, upon which he repre-.
SCENTS. the eleventh congressional dis.
tEict. Fl f''7 .'
fAmong the early supportes OF Will
Ham J. Harris for the United States
Senate, and still warmly espousing
his cause, Judge Sweat was an inter-
@sting caller at HaNis headquarters
Speaking OF the situation in his sec
t'tion, Judge Sweat said:
"Most of the loyal citizens of my
section are supporting Mr. Harris, as
they believe 1t their patriotic duty to
do so; and as they constitute an over
whelming majority of the people, |
am satisfied that Ware and all the
surrounding counties may be safely
placed in the Harris column. Most
of the followers of William Schley
Howard were previously Hardwick
men, thus leaving the junior senator
with only a very small minority still
clinging to his ship.
"The people regard Mr.. Harris bus
mess man, and one of unblemished
character, possessing the elements of
true ,statesMahship, and having the
friendship and confidence of Presi.
dent Wilson; and they feel that as
senator from Georgia he would not on

administration in a successful prose.
cution OF the cause of the Allies in
the world war, in which our country
Is justly and righteously involved, but
that in all matters affecting the ma
terial interests and general of the
whole state and country, he would be
able to accomplish more of a benz
fetal nature than any man who might
be chosen within the bounds of the
state.
u am satisfied, not only from my
knowledge of South Georgia, but re-
liable information from middle and
North Georgia, that the election of
William J. Harris is practically as
sured by an overwhelming majority,
over not only all the other candidates
now contending for the position of
Georgia's junior senator, but any
others who may, for any reason, be
induced to enter the field"
Judge Sweat is native Georgian
and has lived in Waycross thirty years
He has also lived in bonneville and
has represented both Clynch and
Ware counties in the legislature. He
Is a confederate veteran having been
a follower of General Joe Wheeler.

reads as follows:
This is an action for the recovery

Of real estate and comes up on re-
port. Oramandel Blanchard makes
no defense. But Ella j. Blanchard
defends upon the ground that the
plaintiff did not make sale or pro-
cure a purchaser in accordance with
his contract Of brokerage.

I. That the parties whom the
plaintiff brought to the defendant as
purchasers entered into a contract of
purchase that bound them as OPP

only a right to buy.
