Still
Seized by Agents
In Greene County

ATHENS, Ca, Sept 23.-The big
gest raid on the manufacture of in
toxicating liquors in northeast
Georgia in many years was made by
Athens federal agents Thursday af-
ternoon when they captured a 2S7-
gallon still producing pint of liquor
every sixteen seconds, together with
5000 gallons of beer and 100 gallons
of corn whisky, in Greene county,
sixteen miles southwest of Green's
boro. The still set up and in OPP
Grafton was eight feet high and had
a diameter of six feet.
The capture Of the still came
about more or less unexpectedly to
the authorities, who had not received
any word of it prior to the after
noon of the discovery. 1t seems that
United States Marshal Henry Miller
together with Deputy Scott Jackson,
E. L. McCandell and Eugene Miller,
were riding in this section of Greene
county when they met negro riding
in a buggy coming toward them.
Recognizing them, the negro I'M
mediately turned his vehicle into a
side road, tied his horse, jumped out
and began running down toward a
swampy section of wooded land yell
ing at the top of his voice. The Of
ficers Immediately took after him
but before they could overtake him
he had succeeded in warning those
operating the still, and they made
a complete getaway. The still was
running in full blast, turning out the
intoxicating liquors at the rate of
pint every sixteen seconds.
Completely set up, the still gave
the appearance OF a regular young
factory and it is the belief Of the
authorities that it has been in OPP
Grafton for quite awhile.
No clue as to the owners or the
operators of the still have as yet
been found, although federal author
tiles are at work on the case.
