citizens OF the communities in which
they live.
During the year when prohibition
was young, over 5000 stills were
captured by prohibition inspectors and
100000 gallons Of 'moonshine' con-
flscated"
Besides the stills raided in Georgia,
North Carolina and Nebraska, Mr..
Gallivan said 752 had been found in

in Kentucky; 191 in Florida; 40 in
