BOYS GATHER
ROUND when
GIN Mill RUNS
Prohi Officers Allege That
Men i'm Plumerville Dis
trict Believe in Commun-
ity Spirit.

Little Rock, Nov. 30.-A century
sgo, according to historians, fic-
tioneers and the elder raconteurs,
it was the universal custom when
the meal ran low in the barrel to
load a couple of bags of shelled corn
aboard some sedate and easy going
mule, to mount some adolescent
member OF the family atop the
bags and to head the outfit toward
the community gristmill down at the
forks O. the creek. There the corn
would be poured into the hopper,
he milestone would turn round,
md presently in the gathering
shades of evening with the whip
poorwills calling from the laurels
md the spring frogs piping up the
branch, the mule and the adoleseent
would put for home again bearing
bags of golden cornmeal, the ulti-
nate end to which corn in those
lays was intended.
A lot of water has passed under
the bridge since then; and not water
exclusively, according to prohibition
officers sterday-Matters in some
localities the Plumerville locality,
20 be specific-have progressed far
they say.
The old community mill still
stands at the forks o. the creek, but
"a WI Tho
worm turns now. It's a gin mill.
And the adolescent homing in the
evening with the ''grist" of the
mill no longer joggles contemplative-
ly on top of the mule; he yanks the
Glivver throttle down to his knee,
sakes the curves on one wheel and
one hub and wishes them dern whip
poorwills and frogs were lions or
aoss-tyle Injuns, or something worth
the attention of a first-class fight
ing man. And grandpap, who used
to emit sulphurous soliloquies when
the coarsely ground meal in the
pone was wont TO irritate his tooth
less gums, now emits an even more
sulphurous breath as the taste-buds
at the base of his tongue shrivel
at the touch of the "one-run" fusil
oil.
All is changed. Only the COM
munity still stands. "Still'' is right.
That's what the mill is.
Preliminary hearing of the IA al
legged Plumerville moonshiners ar
raigned before Commissioner Long
streth was waived Monday, and
the IA held to the federal grand
jury on bonds ranging from 500 to
1000, According to the officers,
however, the still was operated as
a community enterprise, much as
the old grist mills were, and mash
was brought to it for distillation
from the entire countryside. The
still was in first-class condition, and
of about 80 gallons capacity, A
large amount of mash was found
near it and was destroyed by the
officers.
