Two Stills Seized

Friday Mr.. T. J. M. Scott, Mr.. T.
M. Butler and another federal officer
destroyed two stills on the old Simp-
son place, three miles below Ropers.
As these officers approached the
place, one white man and two ne
groes were observed, making ready
to fire up for business. The white
man and one negro escaped but the
other negro, Robert Gains, was ar.
rested and placed in Jail at Edge
field. The white man wassrecognized
by the officers and warrant was is
sued for his arrest, and also that Of
the other negro. 1t is thought that
this distillery has been in opera
tion about three years, sending out
mean liquor to Augusta, Trenton,
Edgefeld and other places. One
still was of 40 gallon capacity and
the other 25 gallon capacity. 1t is
hoped that federal officers will break
up other distilleries in the county.
Our citizens should stand behind and
encourage the officers of the law.

Hotel de Rome,
Florence, Italy,
Feb. IL, 1921.

My Dearest Mother:
Writing has not been easy for the
last two days: 1 have been steadily
con the CO." Thursday we went on
a boat trip to the beautiful little is
land of Capri, and that meant start
ing early and staying late to do it.
Besides, I got sea-sick as usual and
in addition to that it poured in tor
rents coming back, and with no UNI
brella we got we'll drenched coming
from the boat to the hotel. Yester-
day we left Naples for Florence, an
other long, all-day trip which ended
well in the night when we got here.
We stopped in Rome for dinner,
but made no attempt to stay longer
as the place is now too crowded to
get comfortable lodgings.
All the way from Naples to Flor
ence mountain peaks covered with
snow frowned down upon VALLEYS
growing green vegetables and tropi-
cal fruits. Even Vesuvius had snow
in some places and fire in others,
while down on the Mediterranean
bare armed and bare-kneed bathers
were splashing about in the warm
waters of the bay.
Florence is a beautiful city: the
best we have seen since we left
Paris. It is far ahead of Naples in
appearance and I see no flocks of
goats driven through the streets
a fact most assuring for now I know
am getting cows milk in my coffee
and not some of poor old "nanny's".
The architecture of these buildings
is considered so beautiful that the
architects of the world come here to
study, as artists go to Rome. 1t is
the home of Dante, Lorenzo de
Medici, Calico, Michael Angelo and
hundreds of others who left their
imprint on the city and its present
inhabitants.

Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.

Monday afternoon the w. c. T. U.
held very profitable meeting at the
home of Mrs. w. A. Byrd.
Mrs. Byrd has ideal home for enter
tanning, and the large number present
were adequately and comfortable pro-
vided for.
Mrs. e. ]. Norris presided over the
devotions, and the programme was un-
usually interesting, an aftermath of
the essay contest victories for the
Edgefeld county students.
Mrs. w. C. Tompklns read an article
on "Teaching Law Enforcement" and
Mrs. M. B. Tucker sang a very effec-
tive solo, which the organization appre-
ciated highly.
A free will offering was taken, and
the report of the results of the essay
contests was made by Mrs. Tillman.
The winners of the prizes were present,
and Miss Elizabeth Lott, who won the
second prize for best essay in the
county by High School student on
t'Law Enforcement, (" read her paper
very clearly and distinctly. This was
followed by the reading of "Why Our
States Make Laws Against the Ciga-
rette," by John Feltham. John had
won first prize in the county for best
essay on this subject for the graded
school, and had been awarded prize of
five dollars.
Everybody congratulated these young
people on their achievements.
At the close of the meeting Mrs.
Byrd, assisted by Misses Helen Nichol-
son and Isabelle Byrd, served a dainty
and refreshing salad course with iced
tea.
The next meeting will be held with
Mrs. Kate Kernaghan and Mrs. j. w.
Stewart in May.

NY Dearest Mother:

My Dearest Mother:
It must be acknowledged that Ma
Piles is far more attractive in the
sunshine than in the rain; my feet
are not cold and wet as they were
yesterday and life generally has a
more cheerful aspect. Another pleas
ant feature is, there are no cathed-
rails nor art galleries of special I'M
portance that one must see, regard
less of any personal inclination in
the matter-so we simply spent the
day on the streets.
Naples is Italy's largest city with
a population of nearly million peo-
pie, and built on the bay of Naples,
with grim Vesuvius frowning across
its cleaning waters. With its fine
harbor, its wonderful climate and
scenery, this city should be as beau
tiful as Nice, but it is far from it.
It is so dirty and bedraggled when
compared with the charming villas
along the coast of France. Here
there are none and everything seems
in need of a vacuum cleaner from
the people down.
We called at the American con-
SUBS office this morning apd found
them pleasant set of busy gentle
men. Their headquarters is a build
ing worthy of our great country and
beautifully located on the bay.
From their windows we could watch
the bathers splashing in the warm
sea waters, while others were racing
in small boats built for speed. There
were old castles, forts and museums

perched along on every hill but none
looked interesting enough to pay for
the energy required for a walk up
those hills, so instead we wandered
down to the docks and took a look
at the harbor.
There were ships from every land
in the world apparently, and much
shipping going out. Many little boats
loaded with fruit from the surround
ing farms were darting along or pull
ing out to great ocean liners. Every
where was the rush of loading and
unloading and it seemed a pity that
the laborers had to work so hard and
yet seemed so poverty-stricken.
Crowds of small boys amused them
selves playing on the cables that an
chored the ships and their rope-walk-
ing feats would lay half the circus
acrobats in the shade.
1t kept me gasping for breath for
one would try shaking the other off
in the water, and when this was not
going on I lived in mental terror
they would lose what few clothes
were on their poor, little dirty bodies
I am sure there was not single but
ton on garment of the entire lot,
and nothing but guardian angel
held them together.
From the docks we went up to the
best part of the business center
where we found building called
"Callerie Umberte l." It is the lar
gest arcade building I ever saw and
full of fine shops selling everything
under the sun. We stopped in tea
room there and had tea and most de-
licious pastries, slightly favored
with wine which had been poured
over them. The Italians have repu-
tation for fine pastries, but they are
not so pretty as the French.
All the way back to the hotel we
were impressed with the sight of
donkeys as a beast of burden and
how hard they are worked. Often
you would see an OK and donkey
yoked' together, which would seem
funny if it was not sad too. Once
we stopped to pet a little mouse
colored fellow and the bray he 'put
up" collected quite crowd around
US and the donkey. 1t seemed to
embarrass the owner so much that
he went into a store and bought him
some food before he could stop him.
Tomorrow we hope to go to Capri,
a beautiful island trip which will
keep us out all day, provided we
have good weather.
I am sending you some post cards
of Pompeii. The eruption occurred
in the year SO and the city was six
centuries old when it was covered.
There was a population of $4,000
and two thousand were buried under
the ruins. Today they can be seen
lying in the very posture they had
in life.
vesuvius is standing out clear and
free from clouds today, and the
smoke can be seen pouring out from
the crater. I am rather glad that it
is only smoke, yet it is little dis
to see it quite so tame.
like to hear the lions growl when
go to the circus.
Be sure to keep my Pompeian
cards for me as they are copies of
fine art and / think quite pretty.
With all my love,

Terminus Hotel,
Naples, Italy,
Feb. 8, 1921.
My Dearest Mother:
think this can go down as the
worst day so far, in the history of
our trip. Bad weather continues,
and as the prospect for any clearing
seems very remote, we decided to
brave the elements and go out in
the rain. We were scheduled for
Pompeii and Vesuvis for the day and
got them well off the program.
don't know whether it is myself or
the weather but all these ruins are
growing very tiresome but now, that
/ am here, cannot afford to return
and say 81 did not see it." After one
has seen Rome none of the other
cities seem to amount to much, for
it is all repetition of "the Eternal
city" in a less interesting degree.
From our brief visit it is easy to
see that 'Pompeii, when taken un-
awares by old Vesuvius had reached a
high state of civilization aad prob
ably lived as comfortably as we do
today-perhaps more so. But it is
also evident they had no morals to
speak of, or at least I should hate to
speak of them outside my family
circle. Perhaps art students or
tourists of a different outlook from
mine, might call it "High Art" but
that is not my name for it.
As for old Vesuvius, things looked
very dull around there today, and
while I cannot say it was exactly dis
appointing not to see fire, smoke and
all kinds of hellish looking signs
belching forth, it was a much tanner
picture than the one painted by my
imagination. There we're white
clouds floating about the top, and
the natives assured US that the deep
ened shadows in these clouds was
smoke, and we'll let it go at that.
Far worse than anything old We
suvis might do, is what the awful
Italians do. They can beat the world
for lying, cheating and begging.
Sometimes every child on the street
would run after US, holding out
dirty little hands and whining for
money until our driver would have
to take out his whip and drive them
off. Again, if you make bargain
as tight as you may, when you come
to settle the bill something has been
added and such rows and fuses they
raise if you should demur is positive
ly disgraceful.
Along all the other ruins, the sad
dest I have seen yet is the ruin of
the pride and seif-respect of Italy.
We met quite bunch of Ameri-
can girls belonging to the Red Cross
department of the Army Of Occupa-
tion in Germany today. They have
21 days leave-of-absence, and are
taking this trip during the interval.
One of the girls was from Winston
Salem and had her training at the
Charlotte Sanatorium, SO we both
enjoyed the meeting in this distant
land. We meet many Americans
everywhere we go, and I hear there
are more Western and Southern
tourists than from any other part of
the States. The Apprentices may be
very beautiful and let him rave
about them who will, but there is
none as beautiful as our own Blue
Ridge and I have seen good many.
AS we have been in the rain and
cold all day, I'll stop now and "hit
the hay" With lots of love to all
you dear ones.
