gagged in the manufacture Of whis-
key, and after he had begged them
to desist and they had refused to do
so, he reported some Of them to the
Officers. The officers asked him to
get further evidence, and he then
told some of his neighbors that he
had a curiosity to see a still in oper-
alton. They told him they would be
glad to crafty his wish, and told
Kim to come to a certain place on a
certain night. He did so, and found
what he supposed to be a still in
operation. Just after he appeared
cn .he scene, he said, the owners Of
the plant ran off and officers came up
and arrested him. His trial and con-
viction followed the court sentenc-
ing him to six months in tho Spar
tanburg Jail. His sentence will ex-
pire about the last Of October.
