Department of Agricul- 1 ture’s statistical office here said the prediction was based on reports from growers about June 1. Due to extremely dry weather in May, damage from curly leaf and other factors, the June 1 prospects were 468,000 bushels less than the May 1 forecast but still a crop of the size indicated would be the third largest ever produced in the state. | It would be only six per cent less! than 1947 production and one per cent less than that of 1945,, Only 468,000 bushels were pro duced last year because of late! spring, freezes. The Georgia crop forecast is 4,- 410,000 bushels and North Carolina | is expected to produce 2,772,000 bushels. These figures were the same i May 1. Total production forecast for IQs' Southern states is 17,317,000 bushels Chimes In His Memory MORE PEOPLE ARE READING THE CHRONICLE THAN EVER BEFORE! THRIFTY... by HOLLANDS Large Florida .

The makings of possibly 300 gal lons of “white lightnin”—3,000 gal lons of mash—went down the creek Tuesday morning about 11:30 when a raiding party of eight law en- forecement officers swept down on a huge distillery operation on the | east side of Reedy River in Laurens |county. I Col. Roy Cecil, head of the Alco hol Tax Unit in Greenwood and Sheriff C. W. Weir, leaders of the ' raid, declared that it was the largest 1 quantity of mash they had ever seen 'in the county. The still was located on a small branch approximately 200 1 tyards from the river and around two miles below Boyd’s Mill. The officers surprised two white men at their “work” in the heavily wooded area, but the operators made a fast get-a-way and have not been | apprehended as yet, according to the sheriff’s office. The still was a new one, Sheriff Weir said yesterday, and was ob viously near the stage for the ‘first 1 run”. Empty sugar sacks cm the scene indicated that a ton or more of sugar had gone into the six 5(f0- i gallon wooden vats in which the ■ mixture was being brewed.

In the opener Euel Bolana pitched! | Clinton to a 3-1 win over Green-i ; wood and won his own hall game! ! in the fourth when he doubled, 1 driving in the second and third; Inins. He retired 13 batters on the strike-out route. Kenneth Boyce I was the only Clinton player to get I two hits. In the second game, itj was somewhat sadder for Clinton when they were unable to get any one to cross home plate but left men on base during the entire game. After winning on 2 and los ing one Clinton went to Newber ry and defeated them by a score of 9-3. Boland pitched steady six- hit ball. Kenneth Boyce was the ' leading hitter with 3 for 5.
