AMONO Tl IK "LIQUOR WHALES" ! Ami 4MIornyhcmis"-Merrick Operat ing in Georgia-Local Work. I Something of the magnitude of*the F?deral prohibition officers* opera tions in the moro densely populated centers may bo gained from state ments contained in a letter from R. Q. Merrick, in charge of the raid ing work in South Carolina and Geor gia, with headquarters in Savannah. Mr. Merrick, writing to homefolks in Walhalla, Incidentally states: " I have been raising cane since I gok back here Tuesday morning. On Tuesday, with my force, I destroyed 37 cases Of Ano whiskey, rum and champagne out at J. B. Bailey's, one of the 'Big Four' liquor dealers, the liquor being worth more than $2,000. On Thursday I found one of the Gold bergs' traps at a farm twelve miles out from town. We found three emp ty traps, then got (Suspicious of a small piece of freshly plowed ground, got our sounding rods, kept digging, and finally struck bottom. Got shov els and cleared away two feet of earth and found an iron door, open ed and found an iron vault filled to tbe brim with liquor. It took six of us three hours to empty and break lt. There were 300 cases, containing 3,600 quarts' of $5 per quart stuff, showing a total value of $18,000. This was the best trap I have ever seen-a big iron vault six feet deep and twelve by twelve feet square, sunk two feet under the ground, the land being plowed over the top. All the bootleggers are 'cussing' and the newspapers are full of it." And Then tho "Ilomyheads." Local officers in Oconee, including the sheriff and his deputy, rural po licemen and s o nu; special officers, have also been at work, and during the past two weeks report the 'fol lowing results of their efforts: Near West Union-Arrested Thos. Perry,' colored, nt whose home were found two quarts of liquor in fruit jars, with several vessels and a funnel in tho immediate vicinity of the jars containing tho liquor. Uncle Tom was bound over for later appear ance for hearing. At the last term of Federal Court he was Unod one hundred dollars fora similar'offence/ tho fine hoing paid. . Near Walhalla, on the Major Strib l?ng place, Pete Kelley was arrested on tho charge of selling liquor, he having been taken In the act of mak ing the sale about 3 o'clock in the morning. Deputy Sullivan was lying in the weeds near the Kelley home when some one came to the . house and got Kelley out. The transaction took place in the yard, where almost two pints were sold, Kelley stating to the customer that he was sorry, but did not have a full quart. The sale was at the rato of $1.25 per pint and he stated that he had "more in the woods." Ho is now out on bail amounting to $800, in tho Federal and State courts. Robert Redmond was arrested at his home near Newry, where a 25 gallon still was found. There was considerable mash and a small quan tity of beer, which, with tho still, was destroyed. Redmond ls still in jail. He admitted that tho still was his and that he had been making and disposing of about three gallons a week at $8.00 por gallon. Redmond is a son of tho late Louie R. Redmond, the noted moonshiner, who was as square and open when ever caught as he was fearless and hard to catch. It will bo remembered by all who are familiar with illicit stilling records in Oconee 25 years ago and moro that Louis R. Red mond gave tho revenue officers many a merry chase, fired many a shot at thom, and In return was literally shot to pieces. He had wounds all over his body, and If -we recall the circumstances aright, his lungs were punctured by bullets on different occasions eleven times. In his later years, due to these wounds, he was able to speak only a little above a whisper. John Love ls now In Jail, having been arrested near Westminster in tho act of transporting three quarts or liquor. 'Robert Pitts and son, n lad of about 22 years, were arrested at tbolrv homo near Westminster, charged with storing and concealing contra band liquor. Tho ofllcers found a half gallon of liquor In one vessel and a fruit jar almost full. The two waived preliminary hearing and uro out. on bond. Near Salem a still, an SO gallon "steamer,*!

Richmond, Va., Juno 23.-Abra ham Lincoln was no more the insti gator of the War Between the States than Jefferson Davis was responsible for Hie notion of the Southern peo ple, according to a statement Issued to-night over the signatures of 'Gen. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, N. C., commander-in-chief of tho United Confederate Veterans, and Gen. C. X. Mowry, of Washington, command er of the Army of Northern Virginia, ranking department of the veterans' organization. Denials that they had voted for tho resolutions censuring Lincoln, "passed in some confusion" about tho time of adjournment ol' the vet erans on Wednesday,\|camo from tho * ranking officers. Gebs: Carr and Howry deplored tho fact that any ill-feeling uh o il ld arise because there is-"no necessity for any temper or ill-will or animosity to the memory of a -President who felt that it was his duty to enforce tho laws of tho Unltod States as ho understands them." In this statement, they de clared that they felt that they were "expressing the sentiments of too many prominent men now residing lu Richmond and in tho South, yet remaining hero, to leave nny doubt as to how our people generally fool about tho matter." Tho resolut-on for which Gens. Carr and Howry discliam any re sponsibility were adopted Wodnos day. lt. was embodied in a report of tho "Rutherford committee," which has ns its aim the elimination of any biased history text books from tho Southern schools. Tho report com mended a pamphlet written by Col. 'Huger W. Jackson, of Curryvlllo, Ga., and published by Miss Mildred ?Rutherford, of Athens, Ga. The pamphlet, with the title, "Tho Truth of tho War Conspiracy of 1861," tho report declares, "that presents tho official evidence, gathored principally from the United States government archives, which proves that tho Con federate war was deliberately and personally concerned and its Inaugu ration made by Abraham Lincoln, and that he was personally responsi ble for forcing tho war upon tho South." The report continued by stating that "sentiment liag, been so aroused that perverted Yankee histories will no longe/ bo used to instruct our children; that tito young will now bo taught that the South was right, yea, eternally and everlastingly right, in fighting for those principles upon which our glorious country was fou nded." Gens. Carr and Howry declare tho report was adopted in sonio confu sion, and .thal tho part which lias aroused a storm of protest was ".in a mass of verbiage" which seemed to bold Presidont Lincoln responsi ble for the Wiir Between thc States.
