In The Act Of Making Moon
IT,. shine WhisI<ey

Sheriff Ellis, accompanied by Off
Ger Stears and deputy Graham made a
raid for Illicit booze manufacturers out
nine miles northwest of Pensacola
yesterday afternoon that brought re-
suits. Two negroes who gave their
names as Chris Shinneyhouse and Tom
Perry are now being detained at the
county Jail for making monshine liquor
They were caught in the act, according
to the officers.
The still, made of copper with copper
fittings, was set up in the edge of a
swamp and was in operation when
they came up on 1t. Both negroes
were there and did not have chance
to get away before the officers had
them in their custody. About two gall
Ions of shiny and several barrels of
mash was found and confiscated along
with the still.
The defendants were unable to make
bond and win remain in jail until their
case is called up before Judge Jones

BIRTHS IN MARCH
DOUBLE The DEATHS
Records Show That SO Children Were
Born, While There Were As
Deaths During Month

There was twice as many births as
deaths in Pensacola and surrounding
communities during the month of
March. according to the statistics re-
corded at the office of L. E. Heinberg,
registrar for this district.
During March, including both white
and colored, there were SO children
born, So of this number being whites
and the remaining 27 colored. The
total number of deaths was only 40.
OF this number &c were whites and 10
negroes.
These reports come from Pensacola
proper, Kupfrian's park, Warrington,
East Pensacola Heights, Van Pelts
store and all territory between these
points and Pensacola. This, according
to comparative statements complied
by the State Board of Health for
which the records are kept, is not con-
sidered a high death rate. On the con-
trary, 1t is much lower than other Sec
tions OF Florida and adjacent states
This is attributed to the healthful con-
ditions here, the supply of drinking
water ranking first in Importance The
drinking water of Pensacola according
to analysis made by state chemists is
the purest to be found anywhere in
Florida, and this, coupled with the
sanitary conditions is the reason for
the comparative low death rate.
