STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE WILL
 MEET ON MONDAY
Chairman J. Francis Smith Has Called the Meni=
 bers Into Session

Democratic State Chairman J. Francis Smith of this city has issued call for a special meeting of the state central committee in Hartford for next Monday after noon. Much significance is ht- tached to the coming meeting for while Chairman Smith explains that the session is to be held to review the situation following the recent democratic sweep in tho state, by reason of which the demo- crats will take over practical ly all state departments now held by republicans, 1t is ru- mored generally that patronage will be one of the principal suh- jects taken up. The democrats will have many jobs to pass out after they assume control of the states business.
 Senator Joseph H. Lawlor, Town Chairman John H. Crary, Town Clerk Dora A. Egan and Mrs Ger trude Guilfoile Corden, the local members of the state central com- mittee, will attend the session. Mayor Frank Hayes of this city, the democratic lieutenant-gover- nor-elect, will not be able to at- tend thH session due to the fact that he Is not expected to be back in the city from his journey to Central America until Thanks giving Day. Governor Wilbur L. Cross and other democrats victori- ous in the recent election are ex- pected to be present at the meet ing, however. The absence ot Mayor Hayes from the central committee meeting is expected to prevent any definite action being taken on patronage because of the fact that he is understood to have been promised the right to have much to say about who holds jobs during the next two years.

 --~---.- finally through a. foot of water down a rock-bottomed branch Of the Pigg river.
 The main part of the still was cypress drum holding 1000 gall Ions of fermented mash at a single "charge." Instead Of using the cus- tomary crude mountain process of building a fire directly under the still, operators of this outfit had a modern steamboiler set up in the woods.
 Seven Batches Daily
 Steam coils ran through the drum to distill the mash. The mash composed largely of corn meal and sugar, was fermented in wooden boxes. In the last stages of fermentation it was preheated by steam coils to save distillation time. By this process, it was esti- mated at least seven patches could be run through the still daily.
 The enterprise was so large 1t seemed evident it could not have been operated without knowledge of many persons in the commun- ity. Trucks were necessary to haul the tons of meal and sugar to the still, and to take away the whiskey in loads of five-gallon tin cans. Treasury Agent Thomas Bailey and his aides crept through the woods just before dawn one morn ing to surround the placse. One operator was just pulling up in a truck with helper who was go- ing to work on the day shift. Bailey took three prisoners and then disposed of the still with a charge of dynamite.
 Deeper In the Woods Deeper in the woods, reachabie only by a trail that not even a mountain cart could traverse, was another still that Bailey seized. It was made of copper and har "a 200- gallon capacity, the type operated by the small-time mountaineer moonshiner. Supplies were dragged through the woods to it on rough wooden sledges.
 One of the alleged operators of this still is a member of fam fly living nearby. Their home is rough-hewn, sturdy cabin that "grandpap" built 30 years ago. The rooms are unpapered and unpaint- ed. Much O fthe furniture is hone- made, but the home is net and showed evidence of much sweeping with the bundle of tightly tied straw that serves for a broom. Just inside the door hang two rifles "grandpap" boasted he could still put on his glasses and "beat the young uns."
 All Honest Folks
 "We's ali honest, hardworkine folks just rtying to get along and mind our own business" the beard- ed, erect old man drawled while the rest of the family appraised the strangers. T might shoot c rab- bit or q squarrel now and then. but we don't harm nobody"
 "Aren't you afraid of the rev- enue meni"
 "No sir, they's nice fellows. and reckon they's jest as good as other folks"
 Then the husky young woman of tho family, whose husband had been caught by Bailey. chimed in.
 "The trouble was," she laughed. The wasn't scared of 'em soon "~"p" ,N.t-5.Il.. 44f. .tEt.
