THE PRICE OF A STILL

Some have expressed wonder as
to the probable cost to a. person If he
were found operating a home brew
still in his own cellar and exclusively
for his own use, provided he was
caught by the government authorities
An answer to this question was hand
ed to this week by A. G. McStay
who clipped the paragraph from re-
cent issue of the Waterloo, Iowa, Dali
ly Courier Mr.. McStay is personal
Iy acquainted with the Mr.. Stolt men
toned in the story which is as follows:
internal revenue tax in the sum
of $2,685.86 has been filed by the fede-
raj government against the property
of A. F. Stolt. Notice was received
i'm the office of the county clerk of
the courts to the effect from the in
terna1 revenue collectors Office at
Dubuque, Ia, yesterday afternoon
-tMr. Stolt was arrested on charge
of maintaining and operating a still
on his premises. He denied the charge
and waived preliminary hearing in
the state case.
"Itnaz Tososs said to have been
living at 222 Sycamore street, faces
a heavy debt as an illicit distiller.
Tax totaling $8,484.39 is levied
against him by the collector OF inter
nal revenue. To this also is added a
5 per cent penalty for failure to pay
promptly, or $424-22, making a total
oi $8, ,9O8.61.
These assessments remain on the
records against the property OF the
person until the tax is paid. They
are filed as liens against personal
and real property. When the tax is
paid the government will return a re-
ceipt, which will be placed on file,
thus discharging the lien"

George Bright acted as Babe Ruth
and put two of them out of the lot,
but as a penalty, he had to sit down
on the home plate and rest after MAX
ing the bases. The pitching staff on
both teams had to acknowledge Com
missioner Rees as the best, as he had
one strike-out to his credit. which was
more than the others had accomplish
ed. The game was going In great
shape, when Lee King knocked one
good for the round trip, but he had
to slide for home plate and injured his
ankle. Umpire Hughes did not want
to call him out when he had been in
jured. so announced that King was
safe at home. the opening team re-
volted and took the umpire from the
box and was proceeding toward the
lake, when 1t was decided to call the
game a tie to be played off at later
date.
A racing program followed the ball

The county delegation in the legis-
lature met Tuesday morning for the
purpose of conferring with Sheriff
Blease as to the better enforcement
of the law regarding the driving OF

chase of two motorcycles. The mo-
torcycles have been ordered by Char
man Boulware of the highway COM
mission, and are to be the best OBJ

DR.. CARSON breaches
OBLIGATORY SERMON

The Associate Reformed Presbyte-
rian of the Sth instant carried an in
teresting account of the dedication of
Old Providence church, at Old Provl-
dence, Va, which is said to be the
handsomest country church in the en-
tire denomination. 1t was great day
at that place during the dedicatory
services in the building which "occu-
pies an eminence looking in all di-
rections across the beautiful and his
toric valley of Virginia" (This makes
the reporter long for visit to just
such a spct.) The account in the
Presbyterian says that more than
thousand people were n the audience
when the congregation rose and sang
the Tooth Psalm at the dedication OF
the church, at which pr. j. w. Car
son preached the sermon, using as
suggestion of his theme Neh. 2:lo,
"And they said: Let bus rise up and
build" Following is condensed
synopsis of the sermon as reported
for the Presbyterian:
1It was suggested thai Zerubbabel
and his company had come to Jerusa-
lem to rebuild the temple, but as long
as the walls of the city lay in ruins
and the community life had not been
established the work was not COM
pleted. Nehemiah was called to
build the walls and make the people
secure in their worship. The church
must be built into the civic, the So
cial, and the spiritual activities of the
community.
Preference was made to the great
accomplishment in building this ma
terial house. The end of the building
enterprise is the beginning OF the
greater spiritual service.
"The church is the most worth
while institution in the community.
Il makes a contribution to the intel
lectual, the social, the moral and the
spiritual upbuilding Of the commun-
ity.
The church has certain inherent
and impaired qualities that insure its
success. Moral beauty, purity, and
strength characterize the people of
God. and these qualities, made effec-
tive by the divine power, insure the
final triumph of the church over all
the forces of evil"

KILLS WIFE AND
COMMITS SUICIDE
D. PRESTON BERRY AUTHOR OF
DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Seven Year Old Daughter Finds
Mother and Father Dead
Monday Morning

Inc State.
Orangeburg, June l4.-D. Preston
Berry, young farmer of the Neeses
section, Sunday night or Monday
morning shot and instantly killed his
wife and then committed suicide by
firing bullet through his brain.
1t is alleged that Berry was en-
ragged through jealousy and shot his
wife probably early Monday morning.
The father and mother were found
early Monday morning by seven
year old daughter, the mother lying as
asleep in the bed, her baby in her
arms, with a bullet through her tenn
pie and the father sprawled out upon
the floor with a pistol ball through
his brain. Only two unloaded shells
were found in the pistol, and it was
the pistol of D. P. Berry. The shoot
ing created quite a stir in that COM
munity, and one Spires was arrested,
but the authorities generally believe
that Berry shot and killed his wife
and then took his own life. They
were white people of good standing
in their community. The shooting
took place about Is miles from Or
angeburg, just out Of the town OF
