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.

not found, nor was any evidence discovered
which pointed to the occurrence
that had befallen him.
For several days Adams is said to

I taken Adams back to his home. He
I died on the following day from the
j blow on the head, which had caused
the bursting: of several large arteries.
Adams died last Saturday and the

available, held Swofford
for the death of his neighbor. He is
now in the Oconee countv jail,
j Tt is said that had Adams been
given medical attention at once he
would have had a chance for recovery,
but the delay of three days during
which nothing was done for him,
made medical and surgical aid of no
avail.
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

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.
