Third Largest
Peach Crop Due
Columbia, June 12.—A 6,240,000
bushel South Carolina peach crop
was forecast today.
The U. S. 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

3,000-Gallon
Still Found and
Destroyed In County
Laurens, June 10. — Reedy river)
had run almost dry—but it suddenly i
became plenty “wet” last Tuesday
morning without benefit of a single,
raindrop.
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.
Legion Baseball Team
Downs Newberry
(By SAM OWENS)
The Clinton Junior American
Legion baseball club, after five
practice games, seemed to be just
what Clinton has needed for a long
time but in the first two games, j
has seemed to l>e in a slump. 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.
The remainder of the schedule
follows:
June 15—Greenwood, there.
June 18—Newberry, here.
June 20—Eau Claire, there.
June 22—Eau Claire, here.
