MOCNSHINE AND CONFISCATION

An article of special importance
just at this time appeared N late
issue of the Augusta Chronicle. IL
deals with the moonshine and land
confiscation.
The article was furnished the Au-
gusta Chronicle by Mr.. n. A. Willet,
whose able and timely articles have
been frequently referred to by the
Chesterfield Advertiser.
We condense Mr.. Willet's article
to make room for it in this issue.
Mr.. Willet alludes to the statement
by u. S. Court officials that hereafter
under the new prohibition law, moon
shine farms will be proceeded against,
confscated and sold at public auc-
ton, puts new color upon the moon
shine business and perhaps, too, puts
thousands of Georgia farms in jeo-
pardy.
Mr.. Wilet wrote to Judge Galloway
a leading lawyer of Augusta and a
farmer too, by the way, asking him as
to the features Of the law.
The gist Of Judge Callaway's let
ter is in effect that the courts have
50 far upheld the Confscation fea-
lures Of the law The Judge cx-
plains. however, that the statute does
not undertake to cOnfi,catc the prop
"rty Of an innocent owner. 1t is only
the guilty owner who must suffer.
If the owner has guilty knowledge
Of the mOonshine on his farm or if
he draws profit from it he will be
held guilty and his land conGScatcd
But where the property Of the owner,
whether land, automobiles or other
,cOnveyanccs, or personal property, is
without the knowledge or consent Of
the owner for the Illegal manufac-
ture, traffic or sale Of intoXicanta
neither the statutes, generally, nor
the decisions Of the court would up
hold the confscation Of the owner
property.
AS to automobiles Judge Galloway
says:
If the owner Of an automobile j.
is either using his automobile himself
or is permitting another to use his
automobile with his knowledge and
consent, in the illegal traffic Of whis-
key, and the automobile is seized, it
can be sold under the law and the
proceeds turned over to the govern
ment, either state or national.

A BOOM FOR PALMER

In recent issue of the Atlanta
Constitution there is fine tribute to
the character and qualifications of
Hon Michel Palmer, who is one of
the Candidates for the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency AL
though not leading the fight for any
candidate before the holding of the
National Democratic Convention, the
Constitution says:
A man of irreproachable character,
of towering strength, of marked abb
lity for leadership and "born and
bred" a democrat-and not afraid
to say so--it has been generally ac-
ceptcd that he would figure promi-
nently in the campaign for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
The Constitution recalls this Incl
dent of the Baltimore Convention, in
which at critical period in the Con
vention Palmer might have secured
the nomination.
.'W hen IT appeared that Wilson
would not be able TO reach the two
thirds vote necessary to nominate,
representatives of other candidates
who had at that time pollcd more
than majority vote of the conven-
ton, rendered Mitchell Palmer their
support and his nomination would
have been inevitable had he said the
word. He had led the fight for Wilson
in his state, whose delegation he
headed, and he stood firm by his con
viction. He carried the fight again to
the floor and won"
There is just one other instance
of this unscliiSh action in a prcsidcn-
tial convention. 1t was when William
Mckinley, at the head Of the John
Sherman delegation from Ohio, and
when the tide was turning from Sher-
man to Mckinley. 1t soon became cvi-
dent that Sherman could not be nomi-
mated and Ben Harrison was put in al
though Mckinley could nave had the
nomination for the as,:inE. Palmer
wer. to the Democratic National Con-
yention to vote his state for Wilson
as Mckinley went to vote mis- state
for Sherman. In this connection it
may not be out of place to say tnat
William j. Bryan went to the Demo
cratic Convention at Baltimore with
pledge to Champ Clark but voted fol
Woodrow Wilson.

JUST GOT OVER A COLp7

Look out for kidney troubles and
backache. Colds overtax the kidneys
and often leave them weak. For weak
kidneys-well read what a faithful
user says:

years ago caught cold from exposure
and it settled in my kidneys and made
my back lame and sore. | could

TRUTH IN ADVERTISING

That it pays to tell the truth in ad-
vertising is illustrated by this Incl
dent:
In big department store the ad-
vertising manager was sick and the
proprietor called n new clerk to pre-
pare an advertisement. He said to the
young man:
81 want you to stir up some inter
est in the waterproof garment depart
ment. The fact is, we have lot Of
rotten raincoats we've got to get rid
of. They are shopworn, and some
Of them are cracked, and we'N sell
them for little or nothing Now
we've got to get the people here to
buy'em. There are some good ones
in the lot, but if we cant sell 'rui,
we might as well dump 'cm in the riv-
err"
The young man assured "thc boss"
he knew exactly how to dc it.
The next morning when the mcr-
chant opened his paper To read his ad-
vertisemcnt for that day, he came
pretty near having ft, for on the
page opposite the editorials was tn"
raincoat advertisement away across
the page bold-face type, and it read
this way.
"To tell the truth. we have lot
of rotten raincoats we've got to get
rid of. They are shopworn, and some
of them are cracked, and we will sell
them for little or nothing"
Down went his fist on the table
rattling the dishes and spilling tho
! coffee.
He read on:
"There are some good ones in the
lot, but if we can't sell them, we
might as well dump them into the riv.
er."

A FIELD DAY IN CONGRESS

Although there is great deal Of
Serious, even Solemn talk in Con-
gress, they do have fun occasional
ly. Production Of corn was under
discussion the other day when the
Congressman from Missouri, Mr.. Ru-
bey, (not Rube) began to extol the
wonderful productive capacity of his
State. He said one Missourian had
got a prize from farm paper of
$4,000 for the best five acres of corn.
The yield was 127k bushels per acre.
Then up jumped Mr.. Wood, of In
diana, who claimed that was not so
much and that Indiana could beat
that.
Then Congressman Bankhead, of
Alabama. popped up and said that
237 IL bushels was the record in that
State.
Then Congressman Claud Kitchen,
of North Carolina, the leader of the
Democrats on the floor of Congress
said:

souri, (Mr. Rubcy) has called atten-
ion to the great yield in Missouri,

Then Mr.. Thomas, a Democratic
Congressman from Kentucky boasted
that he had pIowsd II hours day
for 80 cents day, but he did no,
want to talk about corn, but about the
barberry bush. Mr.. Thomas said;
Some Republican Congressman
from Missouri do not know who

bushes, because they caused rust or
wheat. There never was barberry
bush in the world, in my opinion, that
