folks arc talking and asking questions
about the county Field Day to
he held in Camden April 10th and
llth. Passing schools we find boys
and girls out running, jumping and
vaulting. They are getting those
muscles in condition to display their
skill against others on the llth. If

would find other boys and girls developing
their oratorical ability.

Were Rude;
Broke Up Breakfast
Bishopville, March 20.?Officers
Josiah Scarborough and Yancey
Matthis played a dirty trick on a
serene and tranquil party of bootleggers
this morning when they unexpectedly
appeared on the scene in
the midst of breakfast, breaking into
the meal before the first course was
finished* and forcing the leggers to
take a cold morning plunge into the
water of Scape O'er without waiting
to give the officers a chance to explain'that
they only wanted to break
up the still which was still hot and
spouting the nectar of the cane
brakes in a stream as big as the
finger.
j Scrambled eggs, hot in the pan,
; bologna and bread furnished mute
; evidence that the flight was swift
i
i ? . _
ami fast. A nice blue serge suit with.^B
a two-colored tan belt, along with I
other wearing apparel, was left lying H
on the ground. {
This was no ordinary, miniature I

ty-one vats filled to the brim with fl
mash averaging 400 or 500 gallons B
each, a* steam boiler, 1,100 pounds B
of sugar, cornmeal, bran and a stack B
of jars composed the bulk of the I
property confiscated by the officers, fl
The equipment was able to Pr0" fl
duce either corn or rye as the con- fl
tents of the vats showed. About 12 fl
gallons of liquor was turned out of -fl
a barrel and a case ready for de- fl
livery stood close by. ?
It took a big truck and trailer tofl
bring in what the officers did notH
destroy on the spot. The operators, fl
it is reported, were all white. 1
