C., WEDN SUMTER OffICERS AND 'S' BATTLSE Three Moonshiners in Jail, One in Hospital, Still, Mash and Whis key Destroyed as Result of Suc cessful Raid on Camp. In a pitched battle taking place last Tuesday morning between moon shiners of the "Big Bay" district and a raiding party of officers made up of 6heriff C. M. Hurst, Deputy Sheriff H. G. McKagen, Rural Of ficers Aleb Norris and Hamilton, Boykin, of Sumter and Police Offi cer Henry Mims, of Pinewood, our officers got, the best end of the affair and come out of the fray the decided and undisputed victors. Joe Andrews, of Sumter, "Boy" Lucid, a negro of the Privateer section, and Jessie Geddings, who was wounded by the officers, have all been lodged in the county jail, and George Smith, a negro, very seriously shot has been placed in the Toumey Hospital. Geddings is suffering from a bullet wound in his side. The condition of the negro Smith is reported as being critical, however, nothing definite can be determined about him un til tomorrow morning. The officers were fired upon from ambush and without the slight est. warning when they had gone but a short distance into the swamps in the direction of "Baltimore Island" a point some fifteen miles from Sum ter. It is stated that the bullets fired from the rifles of the moon shiners only very narrowly missed the officers. Concealing themselves as best they could behind the bushes and trees, the officers returned the fire of the moonshiners and very soon after saw two men running off into the thick swamps. It is thought, however, that these men escaped in jury. Undaunted by their reception of the rain of bullets, the officers del ved deeper into the swamp and came upon the still in operation with four men sitting around it. The men were called to and told by the Deputy Sheriff to surrender. The men instead of putting up their hands 'drew their guns and began running off in all directions. Officer Boykin covered Joe Andrews and the negro Ludd. George Smith jumped behind a tree and was taking dead aim on Offi cer Boykin when he was fired upon by the Deputy Sheriff, and wounded by this shot. The negro then ran, still carrying his gun, and was again wounded, this time falling. Jessie Geddings had in the meantime leveled his gun on Officer Boykin and he was fired upon by both Officer Minms and Deputy Sheriff McKagen, receiving a wound from one of the bullets fired. When hit, he cried out with pain and fled out of the clearing and into the swamp. George Smith, the negro who had been shot down had meanwhile crawled off into the swamp and could not be found. The atten tion, of the officers was then directed to the destroying of the still, a seven ty-five gallon complete steam outfit, the still being found in operation. Nineteen gallons of mash ready for the run were found and destroyed| together wvithi the ten galolns of! whiskey that had just come from the still. Joe Andrews, when arrested, was found to he armed with two Smith and Wesson pistols, one of a .38 caliber containing three loaded bullets and empty shells Joe Andrews and the negro Ludd, were brought back to Sumter Tuesday afternoon and were then placed in the jail here. 'Tho arrest of the two wounded men was not made until this morning at a return trip by several] pf the 'officers acting under Deputy Sheriff McKagen. Geddings was placed in jail this morning and the negro George Smith taken to the hosptal.-Last Wednesday's Sumter Item. BARLEY USED FOR BREWING MARKETED FOR HOG FEED Barley as a hog feed is coming on the markets in increasing amounts, probably for the reasons that its use for brewing purposes has fallen off and the hog industry has been mov ing into the barley-producing districts The United States Department of Ag riculture has taken tup the problem; of nding out the relative feeding value of light and heavy barley. These are on Federal standards for this grain, but light and heavy grades are recognIzed on the market. NG TIMES nning as Second-class. Mutter. e, Proprietors. ry Wednesday 0 per year in Advance ESDAY, APRIL 19, 1922 During 1921 the Department made feeding. tests of the two grades, and' the trials will be repeated. Not. enough data are available yet for de finite conclusions as to the relative merits of the light and heavy grain, but the results have shown that high class barleor has a feeding value only sligthly lower than good shelled corn. When tese tests are completed the Department will have additional in formation on the methods of feeding barley, whether or not it should be fed whole, rolled, dry, or soaked. It is expected that barley will be used much more in the future as a hog feed, especially when there is a scarcity of corn and when barley is comparatively cheap.

Why suffer from a bad back, from sharp, shooting twinges, headaches, dizziness and distressing urinary ills? Manning people recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. Ask your neighborl Could you ask for stronger proof of merit? Mrs. J. L. Von Santen, Manning, says: "When I was a young girl, I suffered a great deal with my kid neys. I was greatly annoyed with the trouble. M ykid neys put me to. They acted too freely and my back nearly dr.ove me wild at times. Sharp, knife-like pains shot through the small of my back and every time I stoppedl, it felt as though someone had struck nme. I had severe head aches andl my eyes painedl. Dizziness often came over me and spots appear ed before me. I was really very much run dtown and in an awful state of 'health. The' doctor's. inedicine did me no good so my mother gave me Dean's Kidney Pills. After taking three boxes of Doan's I was cured and have enjoyed good health ever since." Price 60c, at all dlealers.
