The largest outfit for the manu:r facture of liquor ever captured in this section was found late Satur> day on what is known as the Clark e place, about three miles below Dy-j e son, by Greenwood county officers, j 11 The equijment consisted of a 600 i > ga'un Steam 'boiler, made from a ! ts gasoline tank; a series of wooden] o barrels, around which live ste&m circulated, was used as the still proper;! s copper condensers; fermentors of j i- thousands of gallons capacity; bar-1 d rels and miscellaneous equipment. | t Ons thousand gallons of brandy j rr mash, made from California dried! s peaches, were poured out and thire teen sacks of meal brought away. The still was running in full' a blast when found. Jim Campbell, a a negro captured at the still, denied ' " being the operator, but declared he e had made liquor in the army, acy cording to officers. Campbell was d brought to the county jail. i- This is the only steam still of farge capacity ever {found in thfe n county. The boiler was sunk in the s ground not far from the creek bank, s with the -dirt scooped from under it t- in such a way as to permit a fire being built underneath. Pipes conf ducted the live steam to a series of r- large barrels, having the capacity to hold over 200 gallons of mash at i- one felme. -Thus heated 4>y steam* f the brandy or liquor was distilled d off into copper condensers and conducted into barrels or other cd>n-; tdiners.

I Officers state that they believe the outfit had only recently been set up for operation. In the words of one ' of the raiding officers, "that wasn't a still, that was an industry." So large was the equipment tbat the raiding party returned to Ninety Six, after destroying the mash and J* fermenters and procured a truck from Hal T. Sloan, foreman of the | 0 J grand jury, with which the boiler and condensers were hauled to Nine1 ty-Six. The equipment was brought * to Greenwood this morning and ^ stored in the county warehouse. Those taking part in the raid were: Sheriff ^ E. M. White, Rural Policeman R. L. & Lyon and J. T. McDowell, Deputies A. F. Spivey and J. B. Pulliam. I AROR FFDF.RATION iN ANNUAL MEET The State.

THIEVES BREAK IN BATTERY DEPARTMENT STORE Break Open Cash Register and Take $50 in Silver?Not Known What j Else Was Taken. , While the rain poured ana tne jlightring flashed and the thunder roared Wednesday night thieves were j busy with their occupation and trade.: The Battery department store, Mr.1 R.

The register, was so badly broken that it had to ' be sent to Colombia for'repairs. Manager Sinkoe says he doesn't j know whether or not any of the goods were taken. The thieves broke the bars and sash of a back window ar.d thereby | made an easy entrance. The supposition is that they went in before and ! departed after the storm. The Teague bloodhounds were brought to | the broken window Thursday morning, but could not take up the trail i on account of the heavy downpour | which had left the ground enough i to have obliterated all traces of the robbers. Such nights a? Tuesday and Wednesday were auspicious seasons for thievery.

Confirms in Toto Scholarship Recommendations?Arranges for Teachers' Examinations The State. After having been in session two days, the state board of education concluded its regular fall 'meeting yesterday afternoon. The meeting was held mainly for the purpose of awarding scholarships in accordance with the recommendations of state college authorities and to arrange f^or the October teachers' examinations. The scholarship lists submitted by the Citadel, the University of South Carolina, Clemson college and Winthrop college were' confirmed in toto. ' The board announced that every scholarship at the university was filled; that 13 vacancies are still to be filled upon the recommendation of the Citadel authorities, and that about 70 places are left unfilled at Clemson. It was also announced after the meeting that seven appointnnn^imr of Winthrnn fnnr HiCilUO Cii V * f in?U4v|/ ? - v.on entrance examination and three on the financial findings of the board of public welfare. Scholarship Appeals The board announced that three appeals relating to scholarships . at Clemson and three relating to scholarships at the Citadel wer? heard. The appeals of W. 0. Tatum of Orangeburg county and of T. Lincoln Taylor of Jasper county for scholarships at the Citadel were sustained and the young men were awarded these appointments. Similarly, the appeals of two McLeod boys for scholarships at Clemson were sustained by the reversal of the findings of the board of public welfare. In the two remaining cases the appeals were dismissed. The' appeal from the decision of the Lexington county board of education relating to the removal of the trustees of school district No. 40 was remanded to the county board for a rehearing. Decision of the appeal from the Orangeburg county board of education, relating to school district No. 79, went over to the next meeting. Teachers' Examination The rlato nf thp regular teachers' examination was fixed for Friday, October 7, and Saturday, October 8. Three groups of certificates will be offered?primary, first, second and third grade; general elementary, first, second and third grade; high school, first grade only. The issuance of teachers' life certificates to South Carolina instructors possessng ten years' classroom experience in the schools of the state will begin as soon as those entitled to these life certificates can fill out and forward the applications, it was announced. Superintendent E. C. McCants of Anderson brought to the attenton of the board some 30 such applications from teachers in his territory. A tentative list of high school applications was submitted. To date 68 high' school applications have been received at the state department of education, it was stated. Last year 159 hiffh schools were in operation, and perhaps 25 new high schools are in prospect. The status of vocational education was fully discussed. The prospect for work in agriculture and home economics was most gratifying, it was announced. Talk of Budget The governor reported that the budget commission had been able to allot the unexpended balance of the high school appropriation to be used to pay building claims. Hope was expressed that this action would permit the payment of building applications now on file .or to be placed on file in the state department of education by December 1. Reports from all these schools indicate the fullest enrollment and the finest outlook: in many years, it was said. A long series of routine matters was disposed of. The state superintendent again brought to the attention of the board the textbook adoption which is to be made by July 1, 1922.

Coker of Hartsville, C.. director of the federal reserve ink, featured the afternoon session c the semi-annual convention of the outhern Textile association meeting ?re today. Mr. Coker exhibited samples of cot>n which he said, he picked from elds on his way to Charlotte, and irected attention to the fact that dIIs gathered from near the top of le plant contained cotton of much lorter staple than bolls gathered om near the bottom of the plant, inicating, Mr. Coker said, that while le early pickings of cotton will be f fairly good grade, the latter pickrgs will be of materially tower grade om the spinners' standpoint. He aggested that the conditions -were micative of a greater shortage of good otton than the country yet suspected. The association closed a busy day ith a visit to the Made-inCaroIinas ^position tonight following a ca'bart dinner tendered by Charlotte texle nterests.

Bobbed hair has been criticised on arious pounds since it became popuir with .he perennially young of the ^minine population, and it has had s staunch defenders who have pointd out thit it was more sanitary, more Dmfortable and more efficient, saving luch time in the arranging of the earer's tresses, says the Columbia Rnt a recent trade report 'CVViU. ?.. ? ives a new argument in favor of the ractice of American girls to bob leir hair. Since this style became opular, importations of human hair mm rhina and elsewhere have drop ed from the enormous total of 220,00 pounds to 7,000 pounds a month, ccording to this report. So, if putting the mater on a busiess basis does not react to make the ishionable - young woman abandon le style, as she is by nature likely to o in the opinion of many male ob^rvers, there is here one more weighj. "Arf fVip hohbed f argument iu 1/ ? air mode against the attacks of the ress and style reformers who forever ail to find woman's fancies anything ut immodest, and tending to decay le moral fibre of the nation. It is presumed, if the comparative ... gures on importations of human hair ican anything, which is not an esiblished fact, they mean that the r of American women is being used i the manufacture of the indspensDle hair net in place of the Chinese air, which in the past has been used most exclusively in this business, eraldine can console herself now hen some dowager frowns upon her lortened curls that she has made it Dssible for herself or some sister to ear on her head a contrivance made ? the fine, silken threads of her own iir instead of one made from the jeue of some Chinese Dene wnose :quaintance with the bath tub and ie hair dresser is probably very much mited.
