DEPUTIES GET
COPPER STILL
REWARD OF SIS OFFERED BY CUL-
LEOkA LAW ENFORCEMENT
LEAGUE GOES TO OFFICERS.
LOCATED IN SIXTH DISTRICT
Five Hundred Gallons of Beer and
Mash Destroped-Operator of Big
"Cat" Could Not Be Located-Had
Been Running Recently.
(Ffom Monday s. Daily Herald.)

To Sheriff Gabriel Knight Houser
and his deputies, Sam Hardison and
Seth Pogue, will go the first reward
of SIS offered by the Culleoka law en-
forcement organization for the capture
of an illicit distrillery. The capture
was made Sunday afternoon by these
officers on the farm of Joe Scott in
the lower southern section of the sixth
civil district. The still was, il is es-
timated, some three or four miles
from Culleoka, which places it within
the five mile law enforcement zone
which has been established around
the capital of the fifth district.
The still was not in operation when
found, but the boiler contained small
quantity of mash, showing that it had
been running full blast but short
time before. At the same time some
four or five hundred gallons of beer
and mash were discovered and de-
stroyed by the officers. The still was
brought to Columbia and placed in the
court house yard, where it attracted
a great deal of attention, crowd of
the curious was gathered about it the
greater part of the day.
Sheriff Houser stated this morning
that the still was discovered by ne
gro while out "possum" hunting, and
that its presence was Immediately re-
ported to the authorities who went
to the scene through the rain on Sun
day. Officers had considerable diff
ficulty in reaching the big copper
cat which was located in deep and
dark hollow. The operator of the
still had resorted TO a rather inge
NOUS method of ascertaining whether
or not the "cat" had been approached
1t was found by officers that he had
run an ordinary sewing thread around
the still for a radius of some fifty
feet, and this had been broken by the
negro possum hunter the night before.
The operator evidently made a trip

GENERAL ROAD
WORK FOR YEAR
Is ABOUT over
ONLY NECESSARY REPAIRS WILL
BE MADE FROM NOW ON, SAYS
SUPERINTENDENT WILKES.
IMMENSE AMOUNT WORK DONE
People OF the County Generally Have
Co-operatod With Officials to An E,-
tenk Not Known in Recon. Years.
Much Metal HauIed and Donated.
(From Fridays Daily Herald)


Except such repairs as are absolute
ly necessary to be made road working
on general scale Is over in Mau,y
county for this year. This statement
was made by Road Superintendent
Wilkes today. He said that tho road
funds OF the county were running low
and that there would be very little to
go to the credit of the department un-
til after the first of the year when the
people begin to pay their axes. How
ever, where repairs are necessary they
will be made and this is constantly
the case
An unusually large amount of work
has been done on the roads of the
county during the past season. That
fact was testified by the several mem
bers of the county court at the last
session of the quarterly court. Many
compliments were paid Superintend-
ent Wilkes and the district commits
sioners on what had been accomplish
ed and it is said that several roads
are better than they have been in
years.
AS a general thing the people of the
county have co-operated to an extent
never before known, Many roads
have had large quantities of gravel
hauled on them without any expense
to the county. In several sections of
the county not cent has been paid
metal that has gone on the roads. 1t
has all been donated. In addition to
that there are roads where not less
than thousand loads of gravel have
been hauled and the owners of the
teams have not charged cent for
their services.
Much repair work has been done
on the bridge and culverts of the coun-
ty in addition to number of new cul-
verts that have been constructed by
the county Several new bridges have
been built or are in course of construc-
ton. Under the construction placed
on the Wv road law by members of
the county court and officials the
wheel taxes to be collected in cash
next year will not become delinquent
until the end of the year. That is cal
culated to reduce the road revenues
Of the year. However, an increased
levy on property for road purposes
will supply additional funds from that
source.

of the bridge on Tuesday afternoon
and they fixed the exact site which
will be near the site of the present COW

The management will be glad to

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald1 :.
Notice was formally given today by
the democratic primary committee
that the officers of the election next
Saturday were expected to observe
strictly the rules of the primary.
These rules, as the committee points
out in a formal statement, require
that poll taxes be paid and further
more that only known white demo-
Gratis be permitted to vote. The com
mittee calls attention to the fact that
in the last primary both qualifications
were disregarded and therefore the

In 1872 Cue Test
Detroiter Gains Slightly in
Afternoon, but Rival Out
classes Him at Night

Edouard Horemans, the Belgian 1872
balk line champion, again stepped far
out in front yesterday in his 5000
point match with Welker Cochran, the
Detroit billiard star. The foreigner
gained 311 points in the two daily
sessions, following defeat in the
afternoon with spectacular come
back in the night round. Horemans
led off in the evening with run of
204 whereas Cochran scored only ia
points in his four innings.
Evidence of the strong game being
put up by the two cue masters is
given by the grand averages, above 64
for Horemans and topping So for the
Belgian. Even Cochran's low average
is new record in the 1872 game. The
Detroiter seemed to have lost the
knack Of things last night, spelling
of his opponent by missing easy shots.
Cochran gained IT'S points in the
afternoon blocks. He piled up 575
points in six innings for an average
of 95 Sc. The Westerner scored 40S
points in his first three turns, his
sprint attaining it's apex in the third
round, when he tailed 266.
Horemans tried nothing Of sensa-
tional character during the afternoon.
He made every shot with minute care
and took no chances. He retained his
iron nerve, however, as Cochran was
gradually closing the gap in the grand
total, which stood 1000 to 1872 in
favor of the Belgian when the night
session got under way.
