LEVER ACT MUST BE
OBEYED, is ORDER.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-(By
Associated Press, UNITED States at
torneys in the bituminous coal fields
have been advised by the department
of justice of the result of the nego-
tiations in Washington and We're CIV
en- instructions that the terms of the
Lever act were to be strictly obeyed
by both miners and operators, accord
ng to statement issued Friday after
noon by Judge c. B. Ames, assistant
attorney general. Judge Ames' state
ment said:
"All United States attorneys in
the bituminous coal fields have been
officially advised of the result of the
negotiations at Washington and have
been given instructions relative to
the situation.
ut is, of course, obvious that the
time has come when ample protection
will be furnished all persons desiring
to work in mines. All persons whether
miners cor operators, making any
agreement or arrangement with each
other to restrict the supply of coal
will be proceeded against as the law
provides, and it should be understood
that any person who acts in restrict
ing the supply of coal is likewise
guilty by the terms of the Lever act.
instructions heretofore issued by
the war department are still in force,
and under these instructions the de-
partment commanders will act when
required to do so by the state au-
thorities."

THREE STILLS
IN One CATCH
BY REVIEWERS
Two Negroes Brought To
City, But One Makes
Escape

Three stills in one bag was a little
more than the officers expected, al
though it was known that wildcat
whisky was coming from that locali-
ty in large quantities. However, that
is what S. J. Causey and ]. E.
Brown, U. S. revenue agents. accom-
panied by DR.. B. F. Bond, county
health commissioner, found when
they visited the old Hill farm, owned
by W. E.>Mitchell, about 8 miles out
OF Americas on the lower Dawson
road, Saturday morning. They also
found three negroes, tenants, but
one of them got away, either because
Dr. Bond was a poor marksman with
pistol or purposely aimed high when
he shot in the direction of the fleeing
negro.
The trio made the trip early in the
morning. Dr. Bond is an old ac-
quaintance of Officer Causey, they
having formerly lived in the same
North Georgia county. The officers
training led them quickly to one still,
which was hot. 1t was smashed and
wagon track was followed to the
cabin of Early Wilson, a negro. He
was called out and Intercepted.
About that time Dock Daniel, no
yorious negro bootlegger, appeared,
ito borrow a mule" The officers de-
tanned him,
Leaving DIR. Bond to guard these
two, the revenue officers began a fur
Their hunt and soon discovered anoth-
er still and another negro, Shelly
Green. About this time Dock Dan
ieIs saw an opportunity to slip around
the corner of the house, and before
DR.. Bond could take precautions to
keep his other prisoner from escap-
ing, Dock was 200 yards away and
'going in high" DR.. Bond shot once
at him, to attract the attention of
the officers, he said, but the negro
didn't hesitate. Soon afterward the
officers learned that Daniels lived in
the direction in which he had run,
and visit to his place revealed that
on his way he had knocked over a
barrel of beer and otherwise attempt
ed to destroy evidence of his opera
lions. Nearby was found a large
lard can and other evidences of il
licit whisky making. Green and Will
son were brought to Americas where
warrants were taken for them be-
fore Justice McMath.
1t was commented upon Saturday
that the absence of Dock Daniel may
interfere this week with the trial Of
his brother. Ben Daniel, and Geo,
Cannon, charged with burglary, it be-
inc understood that Dock was to have
been an important witness for the
defense.
