COUNTYs RECORD
IN LIQUOR CASES

We il0fC ftEkAI0 q t5OOO AhASAAJ R~DPAN
criticise our county and city officers
because so little has been done to
suppress the moonshine traffic. 1t is
evident that these people are sadlyI
inobservant as to what is going on
around them. A year ago. there was
an epidemic of moonshining, and for
awhile the town fairly reeked with
Illicit liquor. It was, of course, some
little while before the officers could
even begin to get the situation in
hand, but they were always working
with it, and today we think we are
justified in saying that not more than
tenth as much liquor is being sold
here as a year ago.
