FATHER STILL
NOW CAPTURED
The great-givandaddy of all the
moonshine stills of. South Carolina, i
and one of the patriarchs of t.'.e :
South in that line, was captured Fii- .
day morning in Pee Dee swamp by
State Constable Eichelberger and
Federal Officer. Youmans. It measured
(MO gallons capacity, being about
seven feet long, four feet wide, and
waist high?,and approximately, r
coffin shaped in its general proportions.
Marion County now gets the cake
for the biggest still. Sumter had it
before, said Mr. Eichelberger, report- c
ing the find on returning to Florence s
Friday morning. More than two 1
hours arduous labor by the two of- (
ficers wore necessary to destroy the (
mass of copper, sheet iron .and brick. \
George Best, prominent farmer <
near Marion, is in the Marion County ;
i;iil with nwnimr :md nlM?r:-lt> <
ing this giant still. ,
Thursday night two officers, Officer
Stacy with them went to the farm
of Mr. Best. They found one gallon of
shine in the house. Then commenced
a search for the still and other "evidence."
Mr. Eichelberger ran head
first over a twenty-five gallon keg of i
liquor. But they were unable to find
anything more, so they took Mr. Best
and the evidence into the Marion
County jail with them.
Friday morning Mr. Eichelberger,
and Mr. Youmans returned to the j
Best place and continued cheir search.! <
Again they fell over another lot of
whiskey, this time a fifty-gallon barrel
of it. Along with the still they
destroyed seventy-six gallons of <
moonshine liquor, 500 gallons of mash
and ten fornicators.
The search and discovery was
made through mud and water from
knee deep to the hips.
SPENDSMONEY
. FOR OWN ENDS
A warrant was sent 6ver to Horry
County by the Sheriff of Marion
County last Thursday for the arrest
of a negro by the name of Guss
Downs.
rP)io \wuvitinf phavirpfl "lint" CillSS
had been entrusted with the sum of
$105.00, belonging to Carry Chisolm,
for the purchase of some doors and
sash and other building material for
Carrie's house; that he spent this
money for other purposes and did
not use it in buying materials and
thus committed a breach of trust.
Among the list of witnesses named
in the warrant, is that of Herbert
Hucks. The Sheriff found this negro
in Conway Friday and lodged'him
in the County Jail, awaiting the arrival
of the Marion officers.

BEN S. BUTLER
FOR TREASURER
Ben S. Butler, of Simpson Creek
Township, has a card in this issue announcing
that he is a candidate in the
primary election for the office of
County Treasurer. It appears that
Miv Butler >vas solicited by numerous
friends to make this race and did not
decide until recently that he would
make the r.ace; but he filed his pledge
as a candidate with the chairman of
the committee on August 3rd. He is
a son of the late Calhoun Butler, who
was a well known merchant and planter
of Simpson Creek Township. His
father ran for County Treasurer about
twenty years ago and received a very
flattering vote for the office.
Ben S. Butler took a course at
Draughon's Business College in the
year 1004. He got experience as a
business man while working in the
store of his father, years ago. and
after that, he was engaged in a mercantile
business on his own .account
for a period of about eight years. He
quit the mercantile business several
years ago and since then has been engaged
in farming. He owns the old
homestead and dwelling of Calhoun
Butler and lives there at this time.
His home is located about twelve miles
East,of I,oris. He is thoroughly competent
to fill such a position as this
of Treasurer.
Mr. Butler spent last Friday in
Conway and attended to various yriutters
of business while here.

CO-OP SALES

Orderly Marketing and Cash Ad''
varices Please Members
of Plan
The organized tobacco growers of
South Carolina ate their cake and
kept it too at forty receiving points
of the Tobacco Growers Co-operative
Association today when close to two
million pounds of the weed were
handled by the most orderly system of
marketing ever seen in this section
and the member growers received
their cash advances.
On the co-operative markets at
tilnnnu in finnfVi Pt>vi\lin'i fnKnn
I I I t? I I J/ II.1VVV.I 111 VII \/llltV? VV/I/UV
co farmers were heard to say "I got
more for my first advance today than
my whole crop average last year."
N With advances on wrappers running
from $22.75 to $17.50 per hundred,
with $15.05 to $7.00 advances for cutting
leaf, with frotn:.?l5.7o to $7.70 for
nutters, from $6.30 to $1.05 for smoking
lugs and from $5.60 to $1.05 for
primings the growers were highly
elated over their first cash receipts as
they left the warehouses with their
first payments and the participation
receipts which assure the?n future
cash payments and immediate loan
values.
Many piles brought oash advances
of $15.75 at Lake City today where
close to three hundred thousand
pounds were on the floor, but the
most remarkable feature of the day
was the complete uniformity of grading
on various markets where all the
growers received equal consideration,
Never was there a more orderly
opening of tobacco mafkets than took
place today. With the precision o1
clock work the machinery of the bip
co-operative association moved intr
action without a hitch, and orderh
marketing was attained at the first
day's trial.
In contrast to the shouts of buyers
the trampling of tobacco, the shifting
of piles and the hurried inspection o
the grower's product, a golden strean
moved continuously today from wag
ons to graders, from graders t<
weighers and on to the ever accumu
lating piles of the weed in the storagi
rooms of the association.
Posted conspiciously in every ware
house were the advance cash pay
ments to be made for each grade, an<
as the tobacco passed by the weigher'
windows it paid tribute to the grower
iii the form of chock* and ruirticina
lion receipts, which were made out ac
cording to the weight and grade of hi
tobacco for each growers member.

SM ALL MEETING "
AT SOCASTEE I
The county campaign meeting at ^
Socastee last Tuesday was attended <
by not exceeding thirty hearers. This >
was not very encouraging to the can- i
cUduies, all of whom were present and s
had to state their claims to such a \
small number of voters. i
There was nothing unusual in the 1
proceedings. About the s.ame ground J
was covered in the speeches as those
delivered at Loris on the opening day
of the campaign.
The ruination of the crops in Socastee
by the rains doubtless caused
^ this lack of interest shown at the
meeting. The farmers in that section
are very blue over their prospects
esneciallv as thev cannot be selliner
tobacco on the markets like other <
farmers of the county where the conditions
were more fortunate.

! Friday, about the only evidence of
I pepper was the "get back" of Solicitor
L. M. Gasque, of Marion, to the
charge made by Charles W. Muldrow,
of Florence, also a candidate for
Solicitor, that Gasque bad delayed the
trial of cases and allowed the work of
the courts to drag unduly. Mr. Gasque
received hearty applause from his
home-folk when he hold up a paper,
stating that "this is the endorsement
of the entire Marion County bar, and
I will resign as Solicitor if Mr. Mult
dvow can produce a like endorsement
from Florence."' As to the delay in
, the trial of cases in this circuit Mr.
r Gasque offered to resign nis office if
f Mr. Muldrow can got a circuit Jucigo
i to state that he (Gasque) had failed
- to push cases to trial with all possi3
hie speed, or that he had allowed the

SALARY NOT RAISED
___ *
In a recent article relating to the
:hange in the law of magistrates, the
Herald stated that the new act had
raised the salary of the magistrate at
Conway to $600.00 per year. This
was a mistake as the salary was
raised for that office during the time
;hat Hon. Hal. L. Buck was Senator
from Horry County and it has remained
at that figure and still remains
at that figure under the new
magistrate act recently passed.

There will be a special meeting at
