Lawyer Cuts Out Moonshine.

One of the delegates at the confer
ence of the Home Law Enforcement
and World Prohibition conference in
Greensboro wanted to have the dis
Il Irgttisfasd service badge conferred
on former U. S. District Attorney
Seawell, the good lawyer of Garth
age for not only cutting out the
mOonShine with tongue and pen but
taking an axe, and in the solitude
of the whispering pines of Moore
county, literally and bodaceousIy
hacking it out. He said that Mr..
Seawell, while riding through the
wooded parE of one Of his farms re-
cen, n caught a pUngent Whit. OF od-
eross atmosphere, that became so ia
miliar when as district attorney he
had constant contact with blockad-
ing defendants and Witnesses, that
he knew as soon as he smelled ''what
it ware and whar it cum frum'' He
soon found that the source of the
aromatic disturbance was a moon
shine factory, with all equipment
necessary for successful conversion
of the staff of life into a fiery fluid
contrary to the statute and even now
the constitution in such cases made
and provided. And it was a good
sized distillery too, with a real cop
per and every evidence of active ope-
rations right there on the land of
this life long abstainer and thorough
believer in prohibition and law en-
forcement. Aften the first flush of in
dignant mental aversion and protest
at this outrage on his landed rights
and his tetotal record, the jocund
gentleman saw the other side = a
blockade moonshine distillery run.
ming full blast on Seawelrs sandhill
farmland it was to laugh. And he
did. And then he righteously wrench
ed the worm which dieth not and is
not quenehed from it's copper socket,
SO that nothing more could run o:lt
in his absence, he hied himself as
fast as his horse could ambIe over
the fox hunting ground and sand
dunes of the forest, to the nearest
|neighbor's wood pile. He got him an
axe, prudently saying nothing to o
:
body what it was for and just cut
that still all to pieces. He carried
the pieces, real copper, to the sher-
iff, and thus set an example of en-
forcing the law, which if generally
adopted would rid not only Mo >re
county, but every other county, Of
the illegal traffic in alcoholic arn-
matics, whether ye'clept, moonshine,
meal tea, monkey rum, red rye or
whiskey.

Boss Butler Favors Pritchard.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Former
Senator Marion Butler, of North
Carolina, has with one fell-blow,
smashed every presidential boom
that has attempted to invade. his
state except ,one-thaJ of man he
has recently marked for his very
own, Judge Jeter c. Pritchard. Ac-
cording to Senator Butler no other
boom has the least consideration in
his state.
1--WE have no second choice" he
said, ''North Carolina is solid for
Judge Pritchard. No other candi-
date is better qualified by ability or
experience, and it is high time that
the South should be no longer dis
f1anchised in national Republican
councils. The election of Repub-
1ican President next year is a GER
tainty, and the party should utilize
this happy occasion to break free
from the enforced policy of going
to pivotal state to try to find an
available man. The time has come
when we can look for q pivotal man
instead of a pivotal state. At least
we should look to great pivotal
section of the country. In short, we
should seize this opportunity to find
the best qualified man for the great
est job on earth, and if that man is
found in the South, where Repub1i-
can principles are fast growing and
becoming stronger then we should
nominate such Southern candidate
and thus fully nationalize the grand
old party"
Senator Butler now resides in the
Capital, but he still claims politica
relationship with North Carolina. He
claims the night to speak for the
Republicans of that state. So he ad
vocates taking Judge Pritchard of
the bench to make him President o
the United States.

FIRST DUCK TRAPPING
CASE WON In STATE
State Game Warden Z. Lee LeConl-
pte on Saturday Won First Duck
Trapping Case Ever Won in State.

While there have been numerous
charges that the law prohibiting the
trapping of wild ducks has been yio-

ways been unable to get sufficient
evidence to warrant conviction I'M
Ill last Saturday, when State Game
Warden E. Lee LeCompte secured q
conviction in the case Of the State
VS.. George and Ray Walter. of Clay's
Island
The case was tried before Police
Justice V. Murray Sullivane, and the
conviction resulted largely, it is said,
from the evidence given by the as
cused themselves. One of them al
legged that they had muskrat traps
setting at one place only; that is, on
one side Of a stream, while the other
alleged that they were On 10th sides.
\ considerable quantity of corn
was found in the water, and they al
legged that the corn was useds for
batting their rusllrat traps, stating
that mUslrats were very fond of
shelled corn. The trap in question,
which was il evidence, was thessub-
ject OF a great deal of evasion, so
much so that little doubt of their
guilt existed in the minds of those
who heard the testimony. Ate the
conclusion Of tie testimony and ar
guments, Justice Sullivane found
both parties guilty, and imposed
fine of $50 and costs on each.
