per part of Wayne county by travel
ing moonshiner, who had an ingenious
ly concealed still attached to light
buggy with which he travels regu-
lar circuit, brewing whisky for the
farmers much the same as in the days
when the old sorghum mill made the
rounds during cane harvest.
The still, attached to the axle, re-
mains hidden when a horse is hitched
to the buggy Coming to farm the
hourse is unhitched, shafts raised and
tse still automatically lowered to the
ground from under the seat. A fire is
lighted and the mash already prepared
by the farmer Is run.
The still was worked for months,
but the secret has been discovered, and
the buggy now is missing from its
regular rounds.
