The offi cers destroyed some 25 bushels of meal mash and about SOO gallons of beer ready for a Monday "run." They were disappointed in not getting the copper still and bogan nosing around for traces of it. These they found later along a trail through the woods, where droppings of mash were discovered. They did not locate the copper, however, but in a "sink hole" tliey found 40 gallons of the finished still product-corn "licker." lt was in jugs, sizes ranging through the ocale of big, medium and small. There was no way ol' getting the "lo gallons ol' 10-rod" out to their automobile, so they proceeded to have a genuine Carrie Nation liquor smashing. Jugs were smashed to smithereens and the liquor roiled down the hillside. Then the officers left. The plant was located about a mile from the Whitewater (Jocassee) Inn, on the opposite side of the river. No arrests were made, but the offi cers say they know a hoop more than they are giving out for publication. And thereby bangs a tale that may or may never be told. .I* *?* 'I ?P 'I* * Fall G Sec our linc of New 1 opened?
