OFFICE HS .MAKE Ill'GE HAIL. Whiskey and .Mash Taken?losLdi Smith Arrested. Gaffney, June IT.?0Miter C. Y. Allison and his force captured yesterday at the residence of Josiah Smith, near Skull Shoals elum h, gallons 01 rye whiskey which had been buried in a tool house in his yard. An excavation had been made in one corner or the tool house, covered with planking and bales of cotton piled on the planking and a buggy on top of the cotton. The whiskey was in barrels and the officers say that it is of real good quality, and was probably manufactured several months ago. The officers had information that Smith had whiskey concealed on his premises, although they did not know just where it was located, and armed with a search warrant they hunted until it was located. This is probably the largest single capture of whiskey which wai ever made in Cherokee county. The defendant was brought to Gaffney by the officers and after waiving examination was required to give bond in the sum of SI,000 for his appearance at the next term of the court of sessions which will convene on July 11. Mr. Smith is well to do, having more than 200 acres of good land and a large amount of cotton stored on the place. He has been in trouble before in Union county for alleged dealing in whiskey and also' in Cherokee county. The officers say that when they arrived in front of the home. Mrs. Smith ran into the house, and they found a gallon jug of whiskey into which she had poured soft soap in order to disguise the contents. After bringing the whiskey to Gaffney in a truck, the officers returned to Smith's farm, and after an exhaustive serch discovered in his pasture about 400 yards from his dwelling it distilling outfit which had been in recent use, and about 300 gallons of beer which was hidden in an excavation about 25 feet in length. They also found a bushel and a half of rye mash which had been placed there preparatory to | making another run. The beer, according to the officers, was just ready to be stilled and the whiskey, would have been in the course of manufacture a rew hours later. They also j captured on this trip an additional | gallon of what they designated as I "good rye whiskey." MISTRIAL IX FOSTER'S CASE. Judge fixes" Bail at $20,000.?Defendant Denies Knowledge of Case. Spartanburg, June 18.?On account of the sudden illness of G. G. McAbee, one of the jurors trying T. E. Lanford, charged with the murder of Glenn Foster, a mistrial was ordered in the case. All of the testimony was not in, and as counsel for -the defense gave notice that an application for bail would be made, court of general sessions recessed and the remainder of the testimony was heard ax chambers. The court stated that it would be more satisfactory to hear all the testimony, rather than have that which remain ed submitted in the snape or amdavits. The defendant testified, having given his record for the day of the tragedy,, denying that he knew anything about the crime or had any part in it. After the testimony was completed the court fixed bail at $20,000 the court saying that when he heard the argument of the state that he felt that he case was not a bailable offense, but after hearing the arguments of the defense, he felt that it was a bailable offense, and the fact that there was a doubt in his own mind was sufficient to make it a bailable offense. The court stated that it was not within his sphere to pass upon the guilt or innocence of the defendant, that is the duty of twelve men. For him to denv bail at this time might i make the impression that he believed the defendant should be convicted, | which would amount to his trying the case. In fixing bail he said that he j would make the amount sufficient to deter any from thinking that the defendant should be convicted and named $20,000 as the amount. The question was raised when it; was announced that one of the jurors was ill that the case might go on by consent, hut .defendant' counsel stated that they were willing to go on with the tr.'al but did not believe they had any risffit to do so. as the constitution called for twelve men to try the case, and they did not believe that right could be waived.

CAXXOX XEAR HARLEYVILLE. Piece Bears Inscription "1778"?May Have Commanded Bridge. Harleyville, June ,14.?Some days ago a large cannon, bearing the inscription 177-S, was found in the Four Holes Swamp, near Harleyville, uv workmen while making excavation for road building. The cannon and .several balls of + aci r\-r* r\ Knnio/1 V> L VV U U111C1CIIL \>C1U UUUCU kJ\*~ | neath an embankment near an old bridge on the road from Charleston to Columbia via Harleyville and was pointed in the direction of the bridge. The. year "1 778" is inscribed on the cannon, also other figures, etc., which are not clearly visible, owing to the fact that it is very rusty, having been buried so long. Citizens of the community are very much interested in the discovery and are anxious to know just why it was: left there, but have not yet succeed- \ ed in gaining the information. % It is interesting to note that this " cannon was found not far distant from historic Eutaw Springs where an important battle of the revolution was fought in 1781. It was apparently placed near to the bridge for the purpose of protecting the bridge. Folks of Harleyville propose to have this famous old gun cleaned and placed in position near their railroad depot or on the new concrete bridge which will span Four Holes in this section. The cannon is now in the yard of H. H. Gross, of Harleyville, state senator from Dorchester county. SUMTER ITEM PLANT BURNS.
