the action of the calcium sulphide

INSURANCE BOARD
SHOWS BIC PROFIT
FOR FOUR YEARS.
Department Makes $2,466, :
1862 For State-18 InSuur-

Montgomery, October 2l.-(Spe-
cial. Alabama made a net profit of
2,466,S62 from the state insurance
department during the four years
ending September 30, despite the
period of financial depression which
forcd 10 insurance companies to quit
business in Alabama. This fact is
shown by the quadrennial report of
A. w. Briscoe, state commissioner of
insurance, which, was made public
by Governor Kilby today. The total
income of the department during the
quadrennium was 1852, 22l.20, while
the total expenditures during the
same period were $85 ,359.20.
The results during the past four
years established the insurance de-
partment as a real money maker for
the public treasury. The department
was created by the legislature In
1916 and has been in operation eight
years. Until 1915 il was operated as
bureau in the office of the Secre
tary of State.
The operation OF the department
did not cost the taxpayers a penny.
Every penny of the income was de-
rived from licenses imposed on n
surance companies. the amount col
lected from each company being
based on total business done in the
state the preceding year. Insurance
companies consented TO and urged
the creation of the department be-
cause IL provides a means for their
protection, including the inyestiga-
ton Of frauds and the elimination Of
the untrustworthy from the insurance
business.
Each year OF the quadrennium
showed an increase until this year
when there was a decrease due to the
effects of the business depression Of
tie preceding year.

COUNTY OFFICERS CONFISCATE THIRTY
BARRELS OF MASH OUT NEAR BELLVIE

Water for carrying out the process
of converting the mash into liquor was
supplied by means of pump being
driven into the ground where it would
be handy. The moonshiner had evil
IDENTIFY just completed a run" at the
second stop, for the ashes We're still
warm. Another Noticeable feature of
the expedition was that the sinners
use coke for fuel in order to avoid be-
ing detected by smoke from the fire.
The razorbacks began to flock around
the open air distillery as soon as the
mash was poured on the ground, and
began to partake of the corn and other
solid ingredients which go into the
"makins". Pretty soon they were act
ing queer.
At the next place, about mile from
the second. and also out in the scrub
oaks, COW had succeeded in getting
the covering off one of the barrels and
had taken on so much of the sour mash
that she was unable to go. In the
phrasing of the bootlegger, she twas
soaked to the gills." She managed
after about half a dozen attempts, to
rise to her feet and get out of the way,
but she was surely a drunken cow
The sheriff remarked that, There's
more argument in favor of prohibit
ton" Seven barrels of mash were
emptied here and the containers
burned.
Within one hundred yards of where
the animal was found in a drunken
stupor, another layout was discov-
cred. The pump had already been
driven and nine barrels OF the crude
material was about ready for the
mill" but alas! this suffered the same
fate as. the other-emptied on the
ground and the nine apparently new
barrels piled UP and burned.
Altogether there was about 1900 gall
Ions of mash destroyed at the four
different places visited by the sheriff's
crew yesterday afternoon, and The
journal reporter was informed that
this would have turned out approx
mately zoo gallons Of moonshine liquor
for which the manufacturers receive
about So per gallon. The loss to the
violators, whoever they were. was con-
siderably over $1,000.

FUNERAL OF CT.
JENNINGS HELD
Well Known Gonzalez Citizen Died
Suddenly From Heart
Failure.

The funeral services of c. F. Jen-
nings of Gonzalez, well known
throughout the county, were held yes
terday afternoon at the Roberts GEM
etery, lwith the Rev. M. Satcherwell
of the Baptist church officiating.
The death of Mr.. Jennings, which
was very sudden, came as a distinct
shock to many friends in Escambia
county, where he had made his home
for many years, having been an en-
ploye of the Southern States Lumber
Company for period of forty-two
years.
Mr.. Jennings had not been well for
some time, but had never given up
his daily duties and at the time of his
death was engaged in doing some
work in his barn, where he was found
after death, which came suddenly
from heart failure.
Mr. Jennings is survived by a wife,
two daughters and three sons and has
a number of other relatives in the
county.
A man of fine and sterling quail
ties, he had many friends in West
Florida, and his funeral was one of the
largest ever held in the county, friends
coming from all over this section to
pay their last tribute of love and re-
spect.
PAIL bearers were Walter Vaughn,
Charles Vaughn, Clarence Bradley,
John Bell, James Dixon and Mr.. Yon-
kers.
The Journal joins with. many friends
throughout the county, in regretting
the death of this member of an old
Escambia family, whose life was one
of service and whose death is a great
loss not only to Gonzalez, but to the
entire county.

Search by Sheriff Ellis and Deputies
Yields 1900 Gallons of "Moon-
:. shine Makin's"

A search for moonshine liquor out
in the vicinity of Bellview by county
officials yesterday afternoon Melted
total of thirty barrels of mash. No
stills We're found, nor We're any ar
rests made. The party who made the
search was composed of Sheriff Cary
Ellis,2 Deputies Rogers, Black and
Taylor and a cub reporter from The
Journal, who went along to see for
himself just how a Skinny raid is con-
Quoted.
The first place which the officers
searched was within one hundred
yards Of the public highway concealed
in the head of a small creek. The
sheriff had received a tip as to about
where he could find the outfit, but
even at that no little difficulty was
experienced in locating it. Finally
though, after begging around in the
swamp, climbing over tree-tops, ana
crawling around under the thick I'M
delibrush, the sheriff's keen eye de-
tected the first find. AT this place
there were four fifty gallon barrels of
mash, NUMEROUS tubs, pipes and other
paraphernalia, but no. still could be
found The mash was poured out on
the ground, and the barrels ard other
fixings were heaped in a pile and
burned. The Journal reporter paid
close attention for this was his first
taste Of the mysteries and difficulties
experienced in running down illicit
booze manufacturers.
After the first find had been dis
posed of the gang got in the automo-
bile and started out in quest of the
next one. The sheriff said, well boys,
that is not the right one" OF course
that gave the news hound" the i'm
preston that there were others-and
there were!
At the next stop, near where the Of
ficers destroyed a still and equipment
few days previously, nine large bar
rels of mash We're confiscated. This
place as well as two others which We're
visited, We're out in the black jacks,
nowhere near a stream.
