BOOZE MAKERS
OF MOUNTAINS
BACKWARD LOT
Producing Inferior Brand of
Corn Whisky, Says
Dry Agent.

BIZ Scripps-H otcdrd Newspaper Alliance
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 81. -
Moonshiners of the Tennessee
mountains have not kept up with
modern times. Their methods of
manufacturing are the same today
as they were ten years ago, local
federal agents say.
Two changes have come about in
the Tennessee moonshine industry;
the quality of the product and the
method of distribution.
The quality is very inferior. Al
though the old name corn liquor"
still sticks, the name white mule"
is much more appropriate. For very
little of the moonshine being made
in the hills and mountains Of east
Tennessee today Is made of corn:
COW and mule feed are used-and
much raw sugar, with which hootch
can be made much more quickly.
Activities Of the federal prohibit
ton agents account for the change
IN d1StrlDuJlOn.
Slow to Learn
The east Tennessee moonshiners
are slow to learn. For instance,
they still put up their liquor in half
gallon fruit jars. The more pro-
greSSiVe ones at Chattanooga use
f1ve-gallon tin cans as containers.
They, too, used to use the fruit jars
but found they broke too easily.
The moonShiners are almost all
mountaineers. They are reputed to
be quick on the trigger, but actually
they're submissive lot. Most of
them either surrender or run. The
dangers of dry agent in these
parts are highly exaggerated.
There are exceptions. The moon
sinners of Cooke county are feared,
especially those operating in a
rugged section of the county known
as Cosby. back in the Great Smoky
Mountains. They consider the
region theirs, and strangers are not
wanted. They believe that the
stranger is a dry agent, otherwise
he would not be there.
These Cooke countians have way
of letting each other know when
a stranger is about tc be in their
midst. A charge of dynamite is set
off on mountain side; then an
other, and another, until all the
moonshiners know. They put out
the fires and leave their stills. With
out the aid of the blue column of
smoke rising from the still, the dry
agent is seldom able to locate a
plant.
Most of the stills are of copper,
and the usual capacity is thirty to
forty gallons. Some are as large
as 200 gallons, and some are down
to ten-gallon milk cans.
Quality Poor
"The liquor is of poor quality"
McCarter explained, because the
average moonshiner wants to get
his run off as fast as possible. The
longer it takes the more chance he
takes Of losing it.
Lye is used to speed the fermen-
tation.
Another reason for the poor quail
ity is the price AS one old moon
sinner, no longer in the business,
explained: 81 used to make real
whisky and got 500 case. Now
they get 81 and SIS a case. The
public won't pay the high price.
Moonshine generally is known to be
a poor grade liquor and the public
won't pay fancy prices for it. Even
if a moonshiner made good liquor
the kind I used to make-he
couldn't get the right price for 1t"

Any animal exposed to cold weather,

Scores OF NotableS Rally to

BY GILBERT SWAN,
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-That very
superior columnist, Mons. Haywood
Broun, in his race for congress, is
providing Manhattan with a politi-
cal novelty which is likely to dis
tract crowds from the theaters and
pack the political halls with audi
ences accustomed to paying $40
for far lesser attractions.
Only one who sits at the New York
ringside can appreciate the posi-
bilities that such a campaign holds.
If it is carried on according to its
full potentialities, no Broadway pro-
duction will be able to compete with
Broun's all-star cast
He has on his committee, for in
stance. every one from Eva LIE
Galliene, the ss-manager, to
George Jessel. He has Irving Ber-
lin coming forth with an announce
ment that he will write campaign
song.
WoOllcOtt Backs Him
He has the sharp-witted Alexan-
der Woollcott, wieldcr Of a most
trenchent pen, ready to take the
stump.
All tie Algonquinites, those peer
less ana enshrined representatives of
the arts, from poets to playwrights,
are behind him. In fact the Algon-
qnin. itself, has become Broun's
headquarters.
Fancy, then, a political rally par
tfcipated in by Groucho Marx, Dom
aid Ogden Stewart, Corey Ford and
a dozen other headliners of the
stage and writing world. To say
nothing of Broun himself, who
Wields a wicked argument.
Nowhere in politics can one find
2 parallel And in New York,
where politics are pretty much cut
and dried, the piquant touch is ap-
preciated.
Papers Oppose Broun
Most of the papers have not been
editorially friendly to this candi-
dacy. The World, Brons paper
before he went over to the Telegram
and the Scripps-Howard forces, has
commented something to the effect
that a seat in congress is nothing
to clown about; that a columnist is
much better without political alli-
ances and that confirmed poker
player is quite outside the pale.
And while there will be many a
wiSecrack-and good ones-injected
into the fight, while there will be
kidding and all that, Broun is
