Augusta* Ga., Ju^ 13.—On a bar- ron island in the middle of the,Savan nah River, accessible only by a stretch of turbulent water, half a mile in width, and almost a mile from any habitation, federal officers ^yes terday discovered and destroyed the largest and most up-to-date still ever found in these parts. —- *** Officers gained access to the still after a five-mile row up stream in the blistering July sun, navigating rapids and treacherous currents and facing ^pnihilation from the maze of bushes and trees which screen the in terior of the island with the same ef fect of a jungle thicket With the sun well up overhead, Deputy United States Internal Col lectors R. Fields Taylor and T. f. M. Scott, respectively of Georgia and South Carolina districts. Raiding Deputy Roy W. Tibbetts and Assist ant J. Fred Vaughn started, out on the raiding trip. The first stop was made at Stevens Creek, where the officers obtained a large bateau and from there rowed five miles in a northwesterly direction through the mile-wide stretch of water formed by back-water from the power plant dam and the Savannah River. Two hours were consumed in the arduous toil before the officers reached the island, as the islet is known. Land ing, the party scoured the matted wilderness and unearthed the still a 100-gallon affair, operated by steam and with a capacity of 50 gallons daily of the very best earn liquor obtainable. With tbs still, the of ficers destroyed a 200-gallon steam boiler, 400 gallons of beer, 100 gal lons of low wine, ore pump, complete in every detail and several score feet of piping, all connected up with pet- cocks and valves and showing evi dences t>f having been put together by an expert pMmberfon# brietf and iron furnace, a delicate coding ceil, ami other essential* to distilling, besides quantities of ediblev The plant, from appearances -cemetl to have been in use at leart a year, and at the present prices of corn .liquor could working day and night have put out $20,000 or 4TV 000 worth of the illicit brew.

The raid yesterday was staged and planned by federal officers of Georgia and South Cy’- Utefulnet* of Adrortisiag To He r' 4 _ ."•* -< General Public. if The usefulness o£. advertising to the general public has been clearly established in the discussion before the annual convention of newspaper publishers and advertisingr’ageneiee held in Asheville, N.* C., last week. It is through the greater value of business on a given overhead which is made possible by intelligent adver tising that prices of any commodity are lower if sold by advertising than when this engine of modern businoaa power is not employed. In almost every instance where advertising is ^one intelligently its cost is more tharT offset by the sav ing* that it effects. - Just how the matter works out was fully explained in meetings of the past few days by men familiar with every phase of publicity. For instance, a retail store may have a fixed overhead of fifty lan per week, twenty per cent be added to cover the running ex penses and ten per cent more to give the owner a safe margin of actual profit. When the merchant spends fifty dollars a week more for advertising increasing his overhead to one hun dred dollars, with the effect of build ing his business to a thousand dollars a week, ten per cent mark up will cover hi* costs of operation and aa additional five per cent will afford him twice the net profit that tea per cent gave him on his two hundred and fifty dollar overturn. 80 the merchant who advertises can sell hi* goods for fiftoen per advance on the wholesale prices make twice as much for himself as does the storekeeper who Tails to ad vertise and v.hore prices are thirty per cent higher than those at which he buy* from the wholesale houses. The public gets the benefit of the fifteen per cant lower prices the vertising store can offer. It ha* been pointed out repeatedly in the di3du?sioos before the conven tions of the Southern Council of the American Association of Advertising Agencies and the Southern News paper Publisher's Association that widely advertised food and other pro ducts were last to be raised in price during the war and that on these ad vance* when made were smaller than on non-advertised goods.

His passing away removes one of the old landmarks of thef place and he will be very much missed. Had he lived until December he would have been 85 years pld.
