still destroyed in a raid made
Ic-s from Bishopville by federal

the men arrested wpre
t to he hired hands wjur were

m a house nearby, which otfi->
lieve was being used as head's,
and the other four were

Sumter county jail. 'The
jail are Henry Bramlet, Allen j
n. Harvey Bradley, Jim Bramywood
Elmore, Robert Brown,
drown, Warren Slater, George
Bob Crosby. The last three
are negroes.
the officers arrived on the
ae still was not in operation,
gave indications that it had
use only a short time before,
believe that the operators
lifting the last run and were
ig to move the equipment to
location. When the mash was
from the vats, they were not
and a wagon was captured
from tho still sight with two
uge vats.
?
35 gallons of liquor were
t the still and it is thought
workers succeeded in getting
pwwy
out with a largo quantity of it before
the officers made the mid.
Destroyed with the still were 18
ferntenters, 750 gallons capacity, seven
fermenters, 500 gallons capacity,
35 gallons of corn whiskey, 3500 gallons
of mash, 17 dozen empty fruit
Jars, throe hand pitcher pumps, one
'100 gallon superheater, two copper
condensers. A. Chevrolet truck, a
Chevrolet dqtojnobile and a mule and
wagon were confiscated.
The officer^ entered the woods
where the still was concealed about
10 o'clock. Part of thorn crept up to
/ the still and placed themselves about
it where they could watch developments
while the two that were left
drove up by the regular road toward
the still.
At a house near the still several of
the officers met. Inside of the little
shack four men were put under urrest.
The officers believe that they
were the day shift for the still. While
these four were being held in the
house, two negro men drove up, unsuspectingly
in a large truck and
I stopped by the 'house. They were
| immediately put under arrest.
A car then drove up before the little
house and the driver of it, a white
man, was captured. The car had a
large amount of supplies in it, presumably
for the men working at the
still.,., The back seat and upholstering
had been taken out of the car, indicating
that it was used to haul liquor.
Officers watching the road froth
the house to the still captured a negro
driving a mule and wagon. The
Wagon was loaded with two of the
lame fermenting vats and were being
hauled from the still.
During all of this activity the men
at the still knew nothing about it.
They were still being watched by
some of f.he officers.
Three of the men who had aided in
the arrest of the first ones crept toward
the still. Not daring to shine
any tights these men crept down the
well marked path in the semi-darkness,
being careful not to give the
warning to anyone who might be at
the still.
When these three were within a
short distance of the plant, the other
officers who had been watching all
the while flushed the still and then
the officers closed in from all sides.
One man, Jim Bramlett, was
caught as he tried to warn the men
at the still that a raid was being
made. Allen Amerson was captured
in the thicket near the still when he
had vainly attempted a getaway as
the officers closed in on him.
The officers immediately set about
destroying the plant, which was said
to be one of the largest ever captured
in this section. The still, a steam
outfit, was large and strongly built,
and it took sometime for the men to
dismember it and to tear up all' the
large fermenting, vats also found
there.
The wrecked plant was all piled up,
whiskey was poured upon it, and it
was set on fire. When the officers
left nothing but wreckage remained
of the once complete whiskey making
outfit.?-Bishopville Messenger.

The Firestone patented Gum-Dipping
process tiamlormi the cotton cords
into a strong, tough, tlnevvy unit.
Liquid rubber penetrates every cord and
coats every fiber, guarding against internal
friction and heat, greatly increasing
the strength of the cord body, and
giving longer tire life.
TWO EXTRA
GUM-DIPPED-CORD PLIES
UNDER THE TREAD
This is a patented construction, qod the
two extra Gum-Dipped cord plies are
so placed that you get 56% stronger
bond between tread and cord body,
and tests show 26% greater protection
against punctures and blowouts. It sets
a new standord for tire performance on
high speed cors.
NON-SKID TREAD
Touak, live rubber specially compounded
for long, slow wear. Scientifically
designed non-skid gives greater traction
and safe, quiet performance.

One of the largest magazine publishing houses published a survey which
they recently made to find out the tire buying plans of car owners for this
year.
In this survey they covered twelve states and interviewed 1,403 of their
subscribers. They found that 68% of those interviewed are going to buy
tires this summer, and that 27.2% of these car owners are going to buy
Firestone Tires?the next highest is only 20.6% which shows the demand
for Firestone Tires is 32% more than for any other make.
