WARNS AGAINST HOOCH Most of the Stuff Now Sold Is Very Poisonous Says Expert Ninety-eight per cent, of the liquor yicw sold in violation of the prohibitory Jaws is unfit for drinking. This is the declaration of J. M. Doran, head of the industrial aJccihol and chemical division of the prohibition unit. It is supported by the findings of William V. Under and his st.iff nf chemists in the prohibition unit's laboratories. In the last year, according to ?>oran, the internal revenue laboratories examined approximately forty thousand samples, of which twenty thousand were illicit liquors. Not more than 2 per cent, were what would have been known as "fair whisky" hi the days l?cfore prohibition, that is, whisky aged, id tho wood. 'I "Tho balance .ranged from rank deadly poison containing wood alcohol to milder poisons, which would, however, produce the same result if consumed for a sufficient length of time," J said Doran, "the difference being one of degrees only." Samples reaching the prohibition laboratories show the bonded whisky of pre-prohihitlon days is gradually and surely disappearing. The good | whisky reaches the consumer chiefly through the use of prescriptions, but even some of the drug store product is bad. "A great deal of illicitly distilled J liquor Is vended to the public under I the guise of straight whisky bottled in bond," said Doran. "This stuff frequently is covered with forged labels and caution notices, und carries a forged strip stamp over the neck of the bottle. Some of these forgeries are very clever, and only skilled persons are able to detect them." BUSINESS IS MENDING Southern Railway Official Sees Pros- ) perity Ahead. * "While it may be a trite saying, I am frank to admit that I am optimistic oven the general business outlook for the south. While there isn't anything to get exiltcd about, I believe that the financial improvement from this time will be healthy, and steady." ' Thus spoke R. B. Pegrnm, vice president of the Southern railway system, in an address in Greenville last Thursday. *T see improvement in the business situation every day now in various portions of the south," asserted Mr. Pegram, "and I anticipate that this improvement is going to continue right along. ^ The south is basically sound, and, as a section, it is far from being bankrupt. The business lessons we nave icarnca me imm w?, w jtoio should be'invaluahlo to ub In the future, and when the south docs come bock, she will astound the other sections of the country." Mr. Pcgrain stated that freight business in the south is growing better dally, and may soon be back almost to normal, but that passenger business with tho railroads, not especially with the Southern railway, but with all railroads operating through the south, is woefully light. Tho official asserts that he sees no prospect of any immediate reduction in either passenger or freight rates, because the railroads cannot reduce operating costs. "Producers and consumers in tho soutli now enjoy a distinct advantage over other sections of the United States in respect of freight rates, and their relative position 1b better than it has been at any time in the past," declared Mr. Pegrnm in his address before Kiwants club. fa" Thero are no restrictions of the work hours of adults in Japan. ?
