1,OOO-Gallon Still
Captured in Duval
by Deputy Sheriffs

Jacksonville, Oct. ia copper
still, having capacity of 1000 gal
Ions, said to be the largest ever seiz-
ed in Florida, was located yesterday
in the Yellow Water section by Dep
uty Sheriff R. H. Shackleford and
three other officers.
The still was only recently erected.
Efforts will be made today to appre-
bend the operators who left an hour
before tn estill was found, the Off
GERS believe.
A rigid search of the Yellow Wa
ter section conducted yesterday by
deputies netted the still just before
dark. 1t was found on creek bank.
Near the still, the officers located
5000 gallons of mash which they de-
stroyed. About twenty-five gallons
of "shine" were also seized. The still
will be dismantled today, Deputy
Shackelford said, and parts of it will
be brought to the. city and held as
evidence should arrests be made.

Many Furnished
Apartments Are
Needed i'm City

While there are some vacant rooms
and vacant apartments in Palatka
accomodtions which can be offered to
tourists are not of the kind they de-
sire, according to records in the office
of the Secretary of the Chamber Of
Commerce. Secretary Hart has on
file in his office a large number of
inquiries from parties who would
like to secure furnished apartments
for the winter. Usually these visit
ors are willing to pay advanced prices
due to short term leases, if desirable
quarters are offered.
Most of those who come south for
the winter want Accommodations that
will permit of preparing at least some
of their meals at home, and Of all the
listings at the Chamber of Commerce
practically none of the furnished
quarters have this convenience. Chill
dren are also barred by many OF
them, and at present there is not an
opportunity in the city for tourists to
come in and secure an apartment for
the winter for light housekeeping, so
far as the records at the Chamber
show.
