LIQUOR IN FORT MILL

Federal and county prohibition Of
ficers it was learned this morning are
making plans for a raid on distillers
in Fort Mill township who are said 10
be growing in numbers. Information
in the hands of prohibition officers 1t
was said yesterday'is that there are nc
less than seven distilleries in opera
ton in that township and there Is
probability that the number of booze
plants may be made more than seven
Fort. Mill moonshiners, it Is alleged
are furnishing not only liquor to the
thirsty in that township; but are fur
nishing some spirits for Rock Hill and
Charlotte and other places. /
The .distillers in that township IT
is said at the beginning of operations
some time ago were content TO make
mean liquor in quantity and with
swntness. But now 1t has gotten to
the point where competition is keen
and arey are trying to see which can
max the best grade Of liquor.
A warrant has been issued for 4
white man who blew into the township
some time ago and who is known as
the blue Ridge Moonshiner" but who
has taken his departure for parts un-
known.
OFFICERS say that the section Of Fort
Mill township used by moonshmers
in their operations is in a region. al
most inaccessible because of the rough
country, and that it is much easier to
find distilleries in the country sur
rounding Kings Mountain Battle
ground! However, a thorough house
cleaning in that section is about DUE
it is said.

The change of venue dodge does not
20 with Hon. R. w. Memminger un-
less there is somewhat better ground
for it than reasonable certainty of n
just and proper conviction of the de-
fendant in case he is tried in , the
county in which his alleged crime was
committed and where the people are
acquainted with the facts. Counsel for
that fellow Bigharn, who Is accused OF
having murdered hiSentire family con-
nection in Florence county for property
considerations, tried this game on
Judge Memminger last Monday butthe
scheme did not work. From the de-
PENDANTS lawyer standpoint, change
of venue is always in order where every
body in the county is so cognizant OF
the facts that there is no hope OF
getting by with an acquittal, no matter
how ignorant or corrupt the jury might
be. The legal justification for change
of venue is to be found under condi-
tions where reason and justice are
overshadowed by prejudice to such an
extent that opinion cannot be affected
even by the facts. In this Bigham
case these attorneys for the defense
are fighting for a big stake, something
rather more than the life of the de-
fendant. The theory is that the family
was cleaned out in order to 'clear the
title" to big property. OF course, II
Bigham is guilty, he will never get the
property; but it will have to go some
where, and where else than to the
lawyers? There will be no stone left
unturned in the case; but it will be be-
cause Of the property rather than be-
cause Of Bigham. Whether convicted
or acquitted the property will go
mainly to the lawyers; but obviously
they will get more for long, hard
fought battle than for short shift.
In the case of quick conviction, some
of the property will have to go to other
heirs; but if the thing is long drawn
out and Bigham Is finally sent to the
asylum the lawyers will get about all.
Judge Memminger took the ground that
Bigham could get as fair trial in
Florence as anywhere, and that he, the
Judge, would see that the legal
rights Of the defendant are protected.
Under the circumstances the people OF
the state know full well that the trial
will be fair and that if Bigham Is con-
yicted it will be because Of his guilt.

The .interallied commission has an
nounced the final returns from the
plebiscite in Upper Silcsia as 716i40S in
favor of Germany and 417,406 in favor
of Poland. According to the original un-
derstanding Upper Silesia was to go to
Germany or Poland according to the
majority vote of the whole district; but
there is now developing the usual
wrangle following elections Of almost
every kind. It turns out that COM
ulunes in the large cities :. generally
voted to go with Germans, while the
communcs including the miners and
farmers generally voted to go with Po-
land. But the question is not settled
In view Of the circumstance that the
Polish vote, mostly coal miners, con-
trolled in the communes that include
the mining regions, the French and
Poles arc insisting that these, under
the self determination rule, remain
with Poland. That arrangement would
take away from the Germans most OF
the prize that was at stake. The prob
ability is that there is going to be con-
siderable rowing over the matter before
the dispute is finally settled.

About the only reasonable obJectlon
that can be offered to appointment oil
Mai. John +. Jones. Of Blacksburg. as
United States Marshal for the Western

that he is a Republican, and in view

objection cannot have great deal OF

question; but having been born a
