LOBE BBT 61 L Ifc^OETCKITO^' ST, i of Your Valued Pal ?- mmm w?? O _* sneriii MaKes my adjure of Liquor. On Friday morning Sheriff Oorley made one of the largest seizures of liquor and beer ever made by an officer of this county, when he captured at the Lexington depot, five barrels of beer and two barrels of whiskey. The beer was consigned to C. S. Rauch. One of the barrels of liquor was consigned to George S. Drafts; the other to S. E. Hendrix. Sheriff Oorley called Judge Drafts over the phone and asked him if he had any liquor ordered. Receiving a negative reply, the barrel was captured. Mr. Hendrix ? - - - - n - -i ?j i.i. ~ ^ was likewise uaiieu aim tuc boiuc q^nswer was received. Sheriff Corley has put the railroad authorities on notice that if any shipments of whiskey are delivered to parties other than to whom it is consigned, that he will bring action against the company under the Federal staute, which declares that no liquor shall be delivered to anyone, other than the person to whom it is consigned. The sheriff waited at the station to see who would call for the goods. He did not have to wait long, however, before John Robinson, a negro driver, called. The negro had the goods loaded and was in the act of leaving the station when he was called down by the sheriff. The entire shipment was seized, and, after the nsaal thirty j days expire, the sheriff will empty the | staff through the sewer pipes at the county jail. Sheriff Corley states that he proposes to see that the law is carried out to the letter. While nothing definite has been learned, it is thought that the shipment was intended for one of the social clubs of the town. In talking about the seizure, the sheriff said that he had evidence to the effect that the clubs had not been operating in strict requirement of the law, and that the shipment was entirely too large to come under the statute. There were 102 quarts of whiskey in the barrels and 600 bottles of beer. This is only the beginning, according to the sheriff's statement, and other surprises are expected.
