? a GREAT ACTIVITY REPORTED. Federal Officers Destroy Many Distilleries in South Carolina. Seizure of property valued at nearly $100,000, destruction of 3S.~> illicit stills and 439 illicit distilleries and the capture of 3~>S gallons of liquor, along with other materials, comprised only a part of the work of revenue agents in South Carolina from December to the end of July, according to the report of S. B. Brame, chief prohibition officer, filed with Collector Heyward, in Columbia. The report covers the operations of agents in the state from December through July and gives some very interesting facts about national prohibition. From December through July 32S ilicit distilleries were captured in South Carolina and 324 illicit stills were taken into custody by the officers. During this period 163 worms wer (Japtured, 2,0S5 gallons of spirits seized, 1,467 fermenters confiscated, 1,441 pounds of meal taken, 40 pounds of sugar captured, 275 gallons of molasses taken charge of by the officers. Twelve automobiles were seized, 7S,061 gallons of beer poured out, 14 horses and mules taken'into custody and 431 persons arrested. Property seized and-offered for sale amounted to $14,277 and the value of property destroyed was $37,250, while taxes and penalties collected reached a total of $224,880. For the month of July 47 illicit distilleries captured, and 51 stills! destroyed. Twenty worms, 358 gallons of liquor, 245 fermenters, 111 bushels of meal, 400 pounds of sugar, 35 gallons of molasses. 10,032 gallons of beer, two automobiles, two horses and mules, property valued at $5,345 and taxes and penalties to amount of $96,799 was the work of the agents, during July. In addition to this, $29,235 worth of property of "stillers" was destroyed. It willjDe seen from figures in the report of Mr. Brame that the work of the revenue agents in South Caro. lina netted the federal government over $500,000 all told, for the eight months. When Noah Built tli? Ark. J In a recent speech Senator Lodge said: "This argument that opposition to this league means that we are against any league or against the peace of the world is the most preposterous statement ever made. The great and beautiful cause of peace is not bound up within the four corners of the illomened. thing Mr. Wilson brought back from Paris." The comment made upon this paragraph by the New York Times is rich enough to be reprinted in full: "When Noah had worked four or five months on the ark some of the. village wits came down to the river bank, found a shady seat under the sycamores and began to make sportive remarks about his vessel. They objected to its proportions; they said it looked top he^vy, and that they wouldn't trust themselves out in it ? in a heavy dew. Noah observed that it looked like rain. "When it appeared that there was only one door and one window the critics under the sycamores were riotous in their j merriment. How did Noah think he was going to get out of it in casQ, of fire? And did he intend to lock himself and his family up in that ill-omened thing along with a lot of animals, some of whom had seven votes to his one?animals whose ideals were not his and never could be? Noah merely remarked that he thought a spell of weather might be expected, and that when it came h? intended to be out in the I wet. ^? "Thereupon some of the more touchy of his neighbors said that it was -preposterous to assert that they ' ^didn't know enough to get in out of ' 1 A1 n rrl in ct - the rain, or tnai mey weie ascnuov any ark merely "because they were not suited by this particuuar illomened thing that Noah was constructing. They didn't think much of Noah as a weather prophet, but if it should start to rain they would hopefully approach one another and assemble the best minds of the nation for the building of an ark which should be designed on the proper principles. But Noah, by that time, was pounding in another spike and heard no more; so the rest of their argument has been lost to posterity. "We could have used almost any kind of ark in the last week of July, <4 a )? iyi*. Waterman's Fountain Pen Tnk in all the different size bottles at Herald Book Store. Best ink made.
