JUDGE DIRECTS
INQUIRY INTO
LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Judge 7. B. Carroll in Opening
Circuit Court Stresses Inquiry
Into Moonshining Here.

In his charge to the Lowndes county
grand jury at the opening of the
spring term of circuit court Monday
morning, Judge Thomas B. Carroll
laid particular stress on the liquor
traffic.
He charged the inquisitorial body
to inquire diligently in the illicit man
ufacture and sale of liquor, said to
exist in this section, and told the jury
that it was expected to do its duty un-
der the law and bring these offenders
into court.
In his charge and questioning of the
jury Judge Carroll deviated somewhat
from the usual course in this precu-
dure. He asked each juror if he was
related to or connected in any way
with any person who might even be
under suspicion of being engaged in
the sale or manufacture Of liquor.
This line of questioning emphasized
the courts determination to bring the
offenders to justice, and to put a stop
to the nefarious traffic.
Mr.. c. w. Evans was appointed fore
man Of the grand jury which was
promptly organized on the opening
of court.
After the formalities incident to the
opening of court Judge Carroll sound
ed the docket and launched Immediate
ly into the hearing of cases.
Following are the juries:

COBB DELIGHTS
Big AUDIENCE
NOTED HUMORIST SPOKE AT
s. ID. LEE HIGH SCHOOL
MONDAY NIGHT
HIS WIT CAPTIVATES
Talked on Americanism Along
With Running Fire of
Matchless With and
HumOr.

When Doctor Lawrence G.. Painter,
Professor of English Language and
Literature at the Mississippi State
College for Women, in happy mood
and with well-chosen words, introduced
Colonel Irwin Shrewsbury Cobb to the
audience at the Stephen d. Lee High
School on Monday night, the famous
lecturer, short story writer and wal
correspondent saw very few unoccu-
pied chairs in the large auditorium.
So well and so favorably known was
Mr.. Cobb to the people of this Sec
tion, mainly through his splendid con-
tributions to The Saturday Evening
Post, that all were anxious to see the
gentleman face to face and to hear
his lecture on "Home Folks"
Mr.. Cobb prefaced his lecture with
the statement that he had lately con-
tracted cold, and that the cold, fol-
lowing the line Of least resistance,
had found a lodging place in his head.
Being a little hoarse, he said, he might
not be able to make himself heard in
all parts Of the house., However, we
have heard Of no person present who
..did~as4 s sFssysx - -.
Mr. Cobb stated that he was, pri-
marily, a writer, but that the grow
ing menace Of Bolshevsm, anarchy
and rampant Socialism in America
acted as an impelling force to drive
him to the lecture platform in order
that he might, like George Washing
ton, warn the people of the United
States to be on their guard against
the encroachments of unpatriotic and
unassimilable foreigners.
Today" said Mr.. Cobb, there are
five hundred thousand Bolsheviks, an
archists and rampant Socialists in the
United States, sowing seeds of dis
cord, distrust and unrest, and doing all
in their power to destroy our repub-
lican form Of government. All these
wretches are fit for is to make fer
tilizer for the potters field. Stand
firm. Guard your gateways."
Mr.. Cobb related a number of very
amusing jokes, and while there was
much in his talk that was mirth-
provoking, there was also lot of food
for serious and thoughtful considera-
tion. The tribute he paid to the worth
and value of the Salvation Army was
splendid and was enthusiastically ap-
plauded. Loud and prolonged applause
also greeted the lofty tribute he paid

HOW WOOD MAY BE MELTED

How many people know that wood can
be melted?
Melted wood, has, however, for long
time been a laboratory curiosity, and it
may be that industry will soon discover
practical applications of the greatest in
terest.
Although wood is eminently inhamma-
Bile, it melts at a relatively low tempera-
ture, but in very precise conditions, and
only when it is absolutely removed from
contact with oxygen so that its combustion
is impossible This may be understood
when we remember what its composition
is. When its Immediately soluble consti-
tuents have been removed-by means of
alcohol, for instance-it gives OH analysis
organic acids, water, oily essences, silicates,
sulphates, phosphates, chlorides and hydro
carbonates of lime, potash, soda and mag
nesia, carbonic acid, carbonated hydrogen,
etc.-that is to say, solely bodies suscepti
BILE of being evaporated or dissolved after
having co-operated by chemical affinity in
the formation of determinate substances.
Starting from these data Messrs.
Bizouard and Lenoir, in 1891, studied the
problem of the fusion of wood. They
operated in a closed vessel at a relatively
low temperature-that is about all one can
gather from the records of the period.
Their work was taken up by others, and
now there is full operative technique
that enables us easily to obtain excellent
results. A metal receiver, a sort of boiler
having a double bottom through which
superheated steam passes, is filled with
bits of wood. 1t is closed by lid SIM
liar to that used in autoclaves and pro-
vided with a tube and stopcock commune
eating with an apparatus for exhausting
the air.
When the wood thus kept in a vacuum
is heated above 2S4 degrees Fahrenheit,
the water and other volatile substances
are given off first and are drawn off by
means of the exhausting apparatus, after
which the heating is continued for about
three hours. There then take place
complex series of reactions and phenomena
analogous to those that accompany the dis
tillation of wood in closed vessel, and
in this way all the so-called pyrogenous
products are separated; these in turn are
drawn off, condensed and separated, so
that they may be utilized commercially.
There then remain in the receptacle only
the fbrous skeleton of the wood and the
mineral salts, which, taken together, con-
stitute a fusible mass This is allowed
to cool slowly, out of contact with the air,
and then placed in a second boiler, which,
after the air has been exhausted, is filled
with nitrogen under pressure of is to 2
atmospheres. The whole is heated to
1900 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours,
and at the end of this time the wood is
melted into homogeneous, hard mass.
