Find Largest Still

Greenville, June 2S.-The largest
and most complete distilling plant
ever seen by the raiding officers was
taken and destroyed Tuesday night
by a group of federal prohibition Of
ficers operating out of Greenville,
near the boundary line of Edgefeld
and Mccormick counties.
The outfit was too large to be de-
stroycd with axes in the regular fash.
ion and two sticks of dynamite were
set off under the apparatus, blowing
it it to bits. The plant consisted of
large brick furnace base, over which
was steel riveted boiler having a
capacity of about 400 gallons. Two
copper condensing outfits were con-
nected with the boiler, each having
a capacity of 90 gallons. Five thou
sand gallons of rye beer were poured
out by the officers. No arrests were

NEGRO TO DIE in
ELECTRIC CHAIR

Judge Townsend refused new
trial for Bradford Boyd yesterday af-
ter listening to arguments by B. ].
McLauchlin, attorney, appointed by
the court to defend the negro. Judge
Townsend said the verdict was rem.
dered by the jury in accordance with
the preponderance of the testimony
introduced on the witness stand. The
Judge said the evidence submitted by
the mother and brother Of the Is
year old girl, upon whose person an
alleged attempt at criminal assault
had been made, was sufficient to ap-
prove the decision. Boyd was SEN
fenced to die on July 20.
Boyd, a II year old negro farm
hand, was convicted last week in the
criminal court on charge of at
tempted criminal assault. Witnesses
said the alleged victim was nine
years old and an epileptic. Boyd ran
away from the scene of the alleged
crime and was captured at Camden
by Mayor Garrison. Boyd was in the
act of indorsing check at bank
counter when the mayor recognized
the name on the check and placed
Boyd under arrest. Richland county
officers struck a hot trail and the
squad led by T. R. Davis, deputy
sheriff, reached Camden shortly af-
ter he had been captured.

Village Success Counts

- When, the National Economic Re-
search Bureau completed it's investi-
cation of salaries and incomes in the
United States it found that 88 out of
every 100 men in this country have
an income of less than $4,000 year.
Those who earn $4,000 a year are o
rare as to be almost superment--
about one-tenth (as l remember the
fgures) of one per cent.
However, $4,000 year isn't so bad
if one doesn't live in large city
where he is compelled to pay big
rent for the luxury of living near
many other people. In small place,
$4,000 a year may bring every rea-
sonable comfort. But how many
who earn $4,000 in a great city
could earn even $4,000 in a village? :?
Somehow, it appears that one must
come nearer to delivering value in a
small place than in a big one. Cities
are centers of much useless activi-
ties. Think of all the liveried apart
ment house men, eyebrow-pluckers
and washroom brush boys in cities
to say nothing of high salaried pub
licity agents, assistant vice-presi-
dents and such. What chance would
any of these have in a sensible little
village or on farm where every
body engages in actual definite toll I?

50 Consul Shaw at Tampico today ad-
vised the state department.
Washington, June 2S.-What NAV
have happened to 40 American EN-
ployccs Of the Cortez Oil company,
captured by rebels near Tampco and
held with the company's property for
ransom, remained a mystery tonight,
although the rebel raid occurred last
Sunday morning. No further word
has come from Consul Shaw at Tam
pico or from any other official or un-
official source since the consular dis
patch of Monday saying that lives of
the 40 Americans and $250,000 in de
structibe property, We're held as Sc
curity on 4S hours notice for pay
ment of $4,000 pesos.
Department officials would not ad
nit in any formal way that they felt
any uneasinas because of the lack of
information. 1t was indicated that
dely in complete clearing up of the
situation was not regarded as un-
usual. There 9is known to be consid-
cradle perplexity here, however, over
the fact that Consul Shaw has not in
formed the state department as to
steps taken by the Mexican federal
authorities to obtain release of the
Americans.
The period granted by Goro2ave,
the rebel chief, for payment of the
ransom had elapsed even before the
departments advices were made
known here. Directions to the en-
bassy in Mexico City and to the con-
sui to insist on adequate protection
for all American rights and interests
and upon punishment of the raiders
went forward at once. So far as was
known late today no further word had
come from any quarter To disclose
what developed Tuesday morning
when the time limit expired.
The Washington government today
still withheld any step that might
pave the way toward more emphatic
demands that the Mexican govern
ment accord the Americans in jeop-
ardy full protection.
The attitude taken at the state de
partment was that the meager reports
now available, serious S the situL-
tion appeared to be, did not Justify as

The Citizens Alliance seconds the
claim Of Mr.. Walker lamar, former
president Of the Builders exchange,
to the effect that there is no CON-
bination among contractors or mate
rial men for the purpose Of keeping
iup prices.
$50 far as the Citizens Alliance is
coneerned,' says Mr.. L. G. Harris,
|'it stands for fair dealing and for
'open shop conditions in material and
supplies, as we'll as in labor. = . .
The alliance will never put itself in
the inconsistent position Of commend
ing, or condoning, in business mems
organizations, what it condemns in
labor organizations.'
Fine words those, and we'll spoken,
but the record of the alliance is
against it.. It is supporting the en-
ploying printers Of Duluth, and no
tighter closed shop exists anywhere
than they maintained. OF course the
