After The Moonshiner in N. G..

Greensboro, n. c., Jan. 14.-Sher-
iff d. B. Stafford of Guilford county,
is recognized as one of the most ef-
cient officers anywhere, and has been
repeatedly named by the head of the
Federal Prohibition Department as Il
fine example of active and everlast-
ing pursuit of the moonshiner. Ask
ed his opinion of the proposal of
Federal Prohibition Director Cant of
Georgia that the state should provide
a special reward for catching not
only moonshiners but bootleggers,
he had this to say and consented to
it's publication: "The present pay
ment of twenty dollars for cut up
still alone, does not pay the sheriff's S
expenses. At least my expense of
keeping a regular raiding force, with
automobiles, ETC., trips at night, costs
trips are made that result in nothing
except letting blockaders understand
we are always on the job. We get
/ not cent except when a still is de-
| liveped for being cut up. 'Now it
, must be next to impossible for the
sheriff of a county having a small
town to go to this absolutely neces-
| sary expense of having a raidng
| force, besides every move made by
anyone of them is noted in the small
er places and operators are informed
1 think a reward for bootleggers
woud be a capital improvement, fol
they can be more easily nabbed, if il
were made an inducement for them
to be confidentially reported. Gut
| ting out the moonshine is we'll, but
! the quickest way to do it is to put
the middlemen and bootleggers III
front of the legal firing line, is m!
best judgment and the moonshine1
will be starved out.
t'Mr. Gan'ts suggestion would sui
me better if it also provided tina

Federal fopces giving first and
might say, the Federal Prohibition

MEETING
/. MERCHANTS ASSN.
President Elmer OettinRer at
Head of State Association
Tells of Conference
WITH ATTY. GENERAL

TIL Merchants Association held a
very interesting meeting last night
and one of far reaching importance
to the merchants of the state.
On account of the absence of Mr..
G. T. Fulghum, president of the To-
cal Association. who was detained at
home by the illness of his child.
Mn. Elmer Oettinger, President of
the Association presided Mr.. Oct
finger gave first public utterance to
matters discussed by and with Mr..
Figg, assistant to Attorney General
Palmer, in. Washington this week.
AS Mr.. Oettinger explained there
were certain regulations imposed by
Mn. Page Fair Price Commissioner OF
of fulfilment on account of the fact
that the government had not regulat-
ed the manufacturer. In other
words the proposition of regulating
the clothiers and other lines of mer-
chandise was so new in line with
the e1rorts pr the government to
reduce the high cost of living fol-
lowing the demand of workingmen
that they could not live on the pres
ent wage scale on account of the ever
advancing cost of the necessities of
life.
The regulation of the price of food
has been handled sufficiently long
to give the government some expe-
rience, but when the representa-
tives of the Merchants Association
from this state went to Washington
/ to confer with Mn. Figg this week
in order to discuss the rules and reg
ulations of the department and
their application to general business
they found Mr.. Figg uncertain as tc
their application and that gentleman
unable to answer questions when put
| to him as to the practical operation
of the rules which the Department
had put in force under the power
conferred by the Lever Act.

In the present state of the market
where there is SO much lack of con-
fidence in the economic and business

buying momentum. Money rates con-
tinued high. Trading was in relatively
large volume.
Losses in rail and industrial shares
were alike extended in the afternoon
as the bears were encouraged to
press their raiding tactics. The drop
in the call money rate to seven per
cent in the last hour was without
much effect in staying the decline.
