/ i ' N t; " ^ VOLUME XXX. ^(J WHISKEY STILL TAKEN BY OFFICERS A . ? Had Just Been Fired Up And Two Men Running it ^ Fled LARGE QUANTITY OF MATERIALS LET OUT Still Captured Complete With I Caps and Worm And k Confiscated. ^ onornt .J. A. Lewis and John T. Proctor, deputy marshal, made a successful raid on whiskey stillers just across the line from this county last Saturday morning. The section in which the still was located is about three miles beyond the North and South Carolina State line near Calabash, N. C. Careful plans had been laid for trapping the parties. When the officers got there the still had just been fired up and ready for ^ operation. In some way the two men who were runing it, one of them known to be Spence Bozeman, ran away from the still before the officers could catch them and made good their escape. On the ground at the still were found 250 gallons of what is called molasses beer, this being the stuff which is first allowed to ferment and then used in making rum. The officers also destroyed six tormentors, things used for fermenting the stuff. The still was captured com plete with the cap and still worm and was confiscated by the officers. It is saiTl'that this still has beeir iti operation for some time and that a quantity of blind tiger whiskey was sold through that section from the still. ^ The officers will arrest Bozeman and the other man if they can be found, and they will no doubt be brought to trial sooner or later.

Washington.?The German ombasy, according to information to day from an authoritative source, resents the accusations understood to have been made against Capt Karl Boyd-ed, Ger man naval attache here, in the trial in federal court at New York of officials of the Hamburg-American line. It was said Ambassador von Bernstorff was preparing to file a vigorous complaint with the State department at the conclusion of the trial, i asking at least for something in the nature of a retraction and possibly for an apology. The German embassy, it is understood, has not yet decided what form the protest will take. A copy of the stenographer's report of the remarks of government counsel and the testimony given at the trial is understood to have been ordered, so that embassy officials may know exactly what was said in the court room. < Doesn't Bike Phrase. 1M, 1 - ' ' i m; c-uiutibsy is particularly anxious to determine ^whether Capt Boyded was included by inference or otherwise in the reference made by Assistant United States District Attorney Wood to the defendants in the case as "riding roughshod over the laws of the United States, treating them as if they were scraps of paper." SMALL CHILD GOT - A BROKEN THIGH L. D. Long Jr., the small son of Mrs. R. G. Long of Conway jumped off the runing board of an automobile near his mother's residence one day last week, and the machine passed over the child's thigh causing a bad fracture of the bone. The car was one belonging to Sheriff J. A. Lewis, and the car was being driven out from the garage by his chaffeur, Willie Herrin. The little boy kept jumping on the running board of the car as it passed out to the street. When in the street, or about to turn into the street the child jumped off the board in front of the wheels.

Along the northern end of the line the Austrians have cleared the region of King Peters troops for some distance to the South west of Mitrovitza, while the Germans have advanced across the Sitnica river and occupied the heights on the left bank, across the Kossovo plain from Pristina. in tne south the Bulgarians are reported by Berlin as having crossed a line runing through Stimlia and Ljubeten, the latter place being about 20 miles east of Prisrend, which lies close to the frontier. Stimlia is directly north of Ljubeten. The Bulgarian drive seems to threaten the complete shutting off of a Servian retreat in a southerly direction except through Albania. In southern Servia there are signs of renewed activity on the part of the forces oposing the Bulgarians. According to an unofficial report, the Servians have recaptured Krushevo 20 miles west of Prilep and some 2f) miles northewest of Monastic. Servias allies may be able to give her substantial help in the area soon, as it is reported that 125,000 troops have already debarked at Saloniki and that allied forces are landing there in large numbers. Athens reports that a new collective note has been sent to Greece by the ministers o fthe entente allies, out' lining measures which it is declared! Greece shall take in conformity w the preliminary agreement. A consultation between King Constantino and i Premier Skouloudis and a cabinet meeting followed the presentations.

The work of the Red Cross Seal Commission of South Carolina has been so successful so far that an additional order for 100,000 seals has been wired to headquarters. Already 400,000 seals have been received at the Commission's office in Columbia, and will be shipped to towns over the State and placed on sale from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Up to date one hundred and thirtysix public spirited persons have vol-j unteered their services in placing the] seals on sale in their respective towns! Columbia has given an order for 150,-1 000 seals, and hopes to make no less! than a thousand dollars by this means' for anti-tuberculosis work in the city. The agent for Conway is Mrs. M. W.

A ^ ^ ^ BRITAIN CONCEDES AMERICAN DEMANDS Yields to Representations for Removal of Restrictions on Neutral Tobacco. Washington.?The British government has yielded to the American representations for removal of all re-1 strictions on the shipment of tobacco to neutral consignees in neutral countries, wort! reached here today from the Amerinan embassy at London. The British embassy sent the following message to Secretary Lansing: '"ldie foreign ollice informs me that the British governor nl agrees foi* the present not to interfere with the cargo of tobacco shipped tc neutral consignees in neutral countries and states that in these circumstances tobacco in all its forms destined for Holland will not longer bo required to be consigned to the Netherlands Overseas trust." The removal of the Brtiish restrictions, protested against by representatives of tobacco producing States, relieves a situation which resulted ir overstocking of the tobacco warehouses. Scarcjty of ships to handle the product and high freight rates now confront tobacco shippers. H 011MT RYMFRHH ANT "" MADE ASSIGNMENT D. M.

DRAINAGE LAW VALID SAYS JUDGE PRINCE Tries Case Concerning it In Calhoun County With The Result LAW WAS ATTACKED ON CONSTITUTION Matter of Interest in Horry Where Uusing" Law Has Been Attempted. Several years ago a law was passed by the Legislature of this State providing for the formation of drainage j districts in this State. Under this law the citizens in certain sections of this county (Horry) attempted to lay out the districts, hut in each case th? district was defeated in one way or another. Tin* i_~?. IUSI, week from St. Matthews will therefore be of interest to our readers. The despatch from St. Matthews says: A decision that will be of great intrest to those counties in the State which are interested in the new drainage laws was made by Judge Prince yesterday. Judge Prince held that the law was not unconstitutional but declared for its validity. The question presented was that under the scope of the law as now given, it was equivalent to establishing and increas ing the bonded debt of the conunuitv* ties in which it might operate in a manner which was contrary to tho,# constitution. The new drainage law is invoked in a way similiar to the law which allows the levy of taxes upon abutting owners on streets in towns [ and cities, where the required number of holders has subscribed to the petition. Judge Prince held that the levy authorized was not a tax but an assessment. His decree setting forth his reasons in detail will be filed with in a few days. The suit is entirely friendly and is for the purpose of clearing the way to sell the securities. The matter will now be appealed to the supreme court for a final judgment. o fil ADIMP MIOTII/r ULHrnilU 17110 i MftL NOW CORRECTED A recent news item in this paper concerning; the wedding of Mr. J. Osby Cartrette, the Aynor hanker, stated that the bride was Miss Minnie Harris. The item was made up from information gathered by our reporter who certainly stated that the bride was Miss Harris. This was a great error, for the bride was Miss Morris of Homewood and not Miss Harris. Miss Minnie Harris is the charming daughter of Mr. John F. Harris and is teaching school at this time at Rehoboth church near Aynor, S. C. The Herald believed it had the name right, and the person who reported the item to the paper had no intention of doing wrong", but nevertheless the Herald publishes this correction in order to keep the record st"aight and regrets the occurrence which may have caused embarrassment to several parties, all being of very high standing in their respective communities.
