Sheriff Hughes has just added the ninteenth still to his credit this one being captured away up about the headwaters of Hurricane creek, con- cealed by bushes and briars and not even a well defined trail leading to it. The sheriff states that most of the stills have some sort of a wagon trail leading to them, but this one. had not a sign of a wagon wheel near it for quarter of mile, the owner evil dently packing still, barrels, corn meal and other necessities -on his back or on the backs of others. Deputies Cur ry, Cottingham, Dunton and Lee laid out in the bushes near the still all night in the hope that the operator would come about the place so they could catch him, but their presence in the community was evidently known and the wary moonshiner gave his still the absent treatment. Hunger then compelled the deputies to action, and they wrecked the still, bursted up the barrels of mash, two in number and brought the still and worm to this nj

 the season ends. She has had all the vegetables she needed tor her family. and in great variety, and she has been able to can for home use a. large auar-
 tity of stun, and win can euough more to carry the family through the winter

 The little two-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. E. L. Johnson of Starkville, Miss, died last night at the home of MT. and Mrs. F. N. Turner on Sixth street. Tho little fellow had been a sufferer from colitis, and his parents had taken him to Birmingham and to Montgomery for treatment in effort to save his life and finally came to this city to consult medi- cal skill, which proved unavailing. The remains have been shipped to Starkville for interment

Louis Weatherford, Thomas Bartee, James Daniel Louis Cammack, H. F. Hobson. Sam Callahan, James R. P. Payne, Brooks Hinton. Leon Mcbride. Jackson N. Policy, Elijah Sexton and Charles White.

BIG SODA WATER TAX

Tuscaloosa is notoriously soda water town. and the government is reaping a heavy harvest here in the soda water tax. Mrs, Barnes, who op- crates a fountain which is not one of the largest in the city by any means, went over to Birmingham yes treday to settle with Collector Me Neel and carried $500 as her tax for one month, on soft drinks sold. This does not include ice cream, because nothing but soda water, and not ice cream soda water either, is dispensed over her fountain. There are several other fountains here where the amount should be double that of the Barnes eSta'b lishment
