' '? .' '. , ? Above the High Falls' the office got into the midst of a plant in b oration, but the "Watchers" were the Job, and as the car in ^vhich , oiiicers hurried Into the vicinity which they know something was lng there was a veritable cnn noni ?or a. few moments, guns popp} rom "VarioUs. and sundry h|gh ;si Hons, giving warning to the worko in the illegal plant that officers !n the vicinity, and warning the [HUS ers to makOvtheir get-aw?y. This Wj done without hesitancy, lt may be a sumed, for the officers of the fie breakfasted ln;fthe plant, the mel, being spread and'road, y for them a they paid their unwelcome visit. Thj officers destroyed about 600 ?alio of beer hero, but the Still was tl hot to carry away, so as much dar age to it as possible was d?ne everything not too hot to take a or destroy was put on the buln, "cap" was brought back to Walha but th 1B was all that was remo from the plant.

There ijfidts a grosmont,as.to thiej point, the'*gifi? cor&.ai; flrst feeling raft that the IKllfl ^as-locat?d oj?, land/h?ldnging to ?M r I tract. At any rate., the therlff and other officers of the county located the still above Walhalla and went after lt. The plant was "dead" when they got there, but the copper still, condenser and other paraphernalia were intact. The still was brought to the Jail and has been viewed by quite a few peo ple. It is an uncommon piece of still apparatus, the condenser being of the type known as the "highland." This operates without the old-fash ioned "worm." On the sides of the coppev still were remnants ?f mash, still moiBt nnd giving evidence of having In the mixture a considerable portion of molases. The plant was loacted on a small branch, within about 2G0 yards of a small tenant house. On Sunduy last the officers located some articles that gave evidence of having seen service in connection with the making of liquor, but there was nothing in the way of copper in the vicinity. All boxes, kegs, etc., at this spot, which was quite near to the Boon's Creek church, were de molished. Nobody was seen in the vicinity of this place. Not on County Farm. Steward W. R. Cobb was in Wal halla Monday and called at The Cou rier office to state that he and others had made a careful examination of tho place where the still was located and which it was at first thought was on county property. Mr. Cobb states that tho examination showed that the still was found on the Norton place, adjoining tho county farm. Tho still was on Norton property, and within 2 00 yards of a tonant house on tho Burton place, and within about 250 yards of a tonant house on tho county farm. This latter house (on the poor farm) has boen vacant, Mr. Cobb states, until last week, when ho lei lt to a colored tenant. Mr. Cobb was at a loss to understand tho finding of the still In that locality, but was greatly rellovod when the investiga tion settled the question ns to its being found on county property.
