"SHINE" is POURED

OFFICERS PUBLICLY DESTROY

GROAN AND MOAN.

Amid pleadings and bemoanings of
colored bystanders County Policeman
Sage poured about four gallons of
moonshine into the open sewer at the
corner of Main and Lee streets on
Saturday afternoon.
Negroes on seeing the JOY pro-
ducing substance actually being
wasted looked as if everyone was
attending funeral instead of being
witnesses to another attempt on the
life of John Barleycorn.
One negro turned his hat upside
down under the can and attempted to
catch about three fingers OF the liquid
but the officers forestalled his effort
and pushed him to one side.
The liquor had been taken in re-
cent raids by Policeman Sage, and
was all home made Stump" Its odor
spread quickly throughout the bust

business man was seen to sniff the all

BURGLAR ENTERED TICKET
OFFICE OF S. A. L. RAILROAD
Money Drawer, Which Was Only
Thing Disturbed, Was Empty.

When Mr. G. L. Upshaw, local
agent OF the Seaboard railway, went
to the office Sunday a short while be-
fore the arrival of the train from Co
lumbus, he discovered that burglar
had been there. Entrance was effected
some time Saturday night by break
ing window
Evidently money was all the bur
glar wanted, as nothing but the mon
ey drawer, which was broken open,
was disturbed. The thief, however,
went away empty-handed, as all the
money that was taken in during Sat
urday was deposited when the office
was closed that afternoon.
Mr. Upshaw suspects party whose
name he will not divulge of having
committed the burglary, and an ar
rest may be made soon.
The man with a crouch is known
by his bark.

AUTOS DEMOLISHED
IN COLLISION MONDAY
ONE WAS DRIVEN BY MR.. ]. G..
STEPHENS AND THE OTHER
BY ERNEST BALDWIN, JR.

In what is termed by bystanders
as a. very miraculous escape for the
occupants of both cars, a collision of
two automobiles occurred at the in
tersection of Seventh avenue and
Crawford street at 7:30 o'clock Mon
day morning.
One of the cars, a Ford was driv-
en- by Policeman ]. G. Stephens while
the other, a Chevrolet was piloted by
Ernest Baldwin, jr. The Stephens car
was travelling down Seventh avenue
ing up Crawford street from Lee
street. Both cars were travelling at a
fair rate of speed, although eye-wit-
nesses. state that the Chevrolet was
moving much more rapidly than the
Ford.
Just at the intersection Mr.. Stephens
tried to slow up and young Baldwin
to speed up in order to pass before
Stephens car reached the corner.
However, neither made his move in
time, so the collision was inevitable.
The result was that the cars came to-
gether with such an impact that the
Ford was turned completely over and
the other car thrown to one side OF
the road
Misses Thelma McLendon, Jim Mae
Seay and Lola Mae Stephens were
riding with Mr.. stephens. Misses
Seay. and Stephens were thrown clear
of the car, the former suffering frac-
tured rib while the latter sustained
severely wrenched back. Miss Nc
Lendon was partially caught under
the car and her forehead and right
arm were considerably bruised Mr..
Stephens was pinned under the car in
such a position that it was necessary
to lift the car so he could get out.
He was bruised about the back and
left side.
Neither young Baldwin or his little
brother, who was in the car with him,
were injured

ITCHING ECZEMA :
DRIED RIGHT UP
BY THIS SULPHUR

Any breaking out OF the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying a little Mentho-
Sulphur, says a noted skin specialist.
Because of its germ destroying proper
ties, this sulphur preparation instantly
brings ease from skin irritation, soothes
and heals the eczema right up and
leaves the skin clear and smooth.
1t seldom fails to relieve the torment
and Disagreement. Sufferers from skin
trouble should get a little jar of Rowles
Mentho- Sulphur from any good drug
gist and use it like a cold cream.
