JACKSON. Tenn, March 20. (spLl-
The source of one Of the most extern
slye and long standing Illicit liquor dis
tillerles that has been in operation IN
Madison county in the opinion Of To-
cal revenue officers, consisting OF two
well-equipped copper stills, each Of 90
gallons capacity, and i9 large barrels,
containing 1000 gallons of beer, was
broken up by posse Of four prohibit

u, s, Commissioner II. /. Chester last
night, and his case was continued un-
I'll March 20. The defendant is held
under a $1,000 bond.
The distillery, which appeared to have
been in use for many months, was con-
cealed In a section Of woods near
Jones housa, the officers report, the
entire equipment being buried under
meath the ground. Neither OF the stills
was in operation at the time the raid
was made, officers state. but circum-
stances indicated that caiTjssSisy cut
put had been obtained from the dlstil-
lery. Approximately 1000 gallons of
beer was destroyed by the officers. and
the two stills brought to the office OF
the revenue agents in the postoffice
building.
The results Of the numerous raids
made by the prohibition agents indi-
cate that the illicit liquor traffic is
doomed in this and adjoining counties.
Seven stills have been captured by the
local prohibition agents this month, four
of this number being captured this
week.

sThomas Brown, OF the Union Motor
company, Memphis, Tenn, who Is In
Cincinnati overseeing the shipment of
several hundred cars for his company,
said last night that he believed that
other factories soon would begin TO use
the local river port as the gateway to
the South
"Mr. Brown was accompanied to Gin
cinnatl by ii Y. Neff OF Memphis, who
is watching the shipment Of several
scores OF cars for his company that
like the Hppmobiles Of the Union Motor
company, are TO DO distributed to cities
down the Mississippi river as far as
Louisiana
Each barge, Mr.. Brown explained,
will hold from fifty to fifty-six automo-
hiles, set up and ready for use. When
the cars consigned to him reached Gin
cinnati few days ago they were sadly
travel stained and somewhat battered.
First thing they passed through local
automobile laundries and repair shops
Then under their own power they were
moved to the wharf at the foot VI Main
street and under their own power they
Chugged up the gangplanks leading to

gasoline tanks and radiators the auto
mobiles were ready for shipment, as

from the factory.

when the barges are nosed into the
wharves at Memphis and Vicksburg,
the garage men by replenishing the
tanks can drive them from the barge
decks straight to the homes Of their
purchasers. MFR. Brown said that he
was sure quite few Of his most i'm
patient customers would meet the boat
and drive their own cars home.
HE predicted that even In the best of
weather. when the highways were In

RESULT OF GEORGIA PRIM ARIES

Sew York World: The nomina-
ION or Thomas L. Watson for United
states Senator at the Democratic pri-
maric> in Georgia is an evidence Of
rolitical decentralization without a re-
zen, parallel. For twenty years he
.l made no prctense that he is n
democrat. When the Populist party
,i.td he persisted in all its vagaries

ui- racial and social bigotries which
N any enlightened community should
have consigned him to political OBJ
'l,ion. That such a man can be made
a l'nitcd States Senator by progress
i've and prosperous State is sorry
,ommcntary on the Democracy of the
south.
Gcorgia's astounding acceptance Of
Watson must be attributed in part
to the deplorable decline in that State
Of responsible political leadership. He

influence from the field. They prac-
tcally abandoned it in his favor, or

The public, It seems, has never been
sstisfied with the reasons advanced by
tn majority Of the New York legis-

refusal to seat the socialists. The re.
election Of the socialists is a repudia-
ton Of the course Of the state legis.
lature.
It is reported that the majority
leaders of the legislature are planning
again to refuse to seat the socialists
Thaddeus c. Sweet, speaker Of the
state assembly. has called a meet
ing Of legislative leaders to discuss
the situation.
The legislature will be acting very
unwisely if it again votes to expel
the socialists. The charge against
the socialists is that they were dis.
loyal to the government. But they

against them. If they were reall!
guilty Of disloyalty, they should have

goods. The complaint of the Kan
sas farmers, the one that Mr..
Baruch is to investigate, is that a
quantity of wheat they sell at
about $40 they buy back, in the
form of flour, at from $50 to $31."
What is true in farming is also true
in other lines of production with this
difference that the farmer is, in most
cases the actual PRODUCER. e. he
furnishes the labor as well as the capi-
tai which enters into his product-and
not having the organization of the
manufactures he is exploited as a
laborcr simply. and suffers doubly.
The unsatisfactory condition of ag-
riculturc as u business proposition j.
depopulating the farms. The writer
was in a certain county in East Texas
last spring where there was not n
house to be obtained in the county
seat for people who wished to move
there while at the same time there
were by actual count over three hun
drcd vacant farm houses in the county.
When man can make more selling
peanuts than he can raising them he
is foolish to raise them. And what
is true of farming is also true, al
though in lesser degree, probably,
of other lines of industry. While
social conditions are undeniably better
in the city than on the average farm,
it is probable that economic rather
than social reasons are the cause of
the drift from the farm to the city
as we'll as from the workshop to
business" Of practically all who can
make the change.
In conclusion the Dallas News edi-
torial above quoted sums up the sit
uation in the following paragraph, the
truth Of which Is apparent to all who
have given the subject careful at.
tention:
"But in the midst of this crowd
of questions there stands one un-
mistakable fact and this is that Of
all those who by their energies
minister to the welfare Of society,
the one who serves most Is least
rewarded. This Is 4 fact which
indicts the morality Of our social
economy and impeaches our intel
ligence as we'll; for It is a fact
which has already brought dis
tress on US and which can not
much longer endure without bring
ing also disaster"
So much for the situation; but as
to the remedy the wisest doctors of
social and economic ills have not yet
found it; but as so far through the
ages humanity has generally found
solution for the problems that an ever
increasing complexity of civilization
presents from time to time, is not
unreasonable to suppose that solu-
tion for this problem will be found
in time to avert the disaster which
is vaguely forecast by the majority
of writers on this subject.
