BIG DISTILLERY
RAIDED in TAMPA
BY U. S. OFFICERS
(By Associated Press.)

Tampa, Aug. 30.--In a raid on n
local "moonshiner distillery Satur-
day evening, U. S. Marshall Cox and a
prohibition enforcement officer ar
rested C. H. Jordan, captured 100
gallons of white liquor and destroyed
twenty-five barrels of mash estimated
to contain 1000 gallons.
The house, located at 701 lack
street, is owned by woman giving
her name as Lena Beatty, who was
released under bond of $1,000. Jor-
dan is still in Jail.
The building was enclosed on two
sides by a high board fence. The stills
were in the garrett Of a garage con-
nected with the building, and cum
ningly concealed. The entrance was
guarded by a ferocious- looking bull
dog.
Officers say this was the largest
plant that has yet been located in the
state. 1t was in operation when the
officers discovered it, and everything
was in apple pie order. \

FLORIDA DIRT VALUABLE

in that vicinity and having omitted
the area and price the full import

The lands, which it is presumed are
to be cleared and used for agricultur-
al purposes, comprise 1,167 acres and
the price paid, 100000. "This price,
of neatly one hundred dollars an

PICTURING FLORIDA

The Miami Metropolis is authority
for the statement that the school ge-
cgraphies are preparing to get better
and more representative illustrations
Of Florida scenery. For one thing,
they will show dredge at work on
the Miami Canal. Views of the re,
claimed Everglade regions will also
be shown.
This is move in the right direc-
ton. The conventional pictures of
Florida scenery, even when taken
with the best intentions, fall some
what short of the best possible. Out
slders get very imperfect notion OF
what the state actually contains.
It is high time to vary the newt
able orange grove views by showing
more industrial plants in operation
A few photos from the phosphate
mines, the launching of a ship at tn
Tampa yards, some genuine street
scenes in some Of those delightful
inland cities like Lakeland, whose
names in the north connote nothing
but unimportant villages, and other
evidences Of the activities Of the state,
would impress the public more fav-
oiably, perhaps, and certainly with
more up-to-the-minute accuracy, then
the scenes of still life, sunsets, and
lake sides, which abount in most de.
scriptions of the state.
