Some Bad Things Found in

INSANITARY HIDING PLACES
Methods of Secrecy and Hiding
Make Filth One of Its
Iugredients
i
From a'I reports, the whiskey that
is being sold against the mandate of
the laws, is the product of filth. It is
apt to be rank poison instead of pure
spirits that would do no harm except
to make one drunk.
That it is a most filthy process,
and tlvit filthy methods are used in
producing comes from the fact that
it has to be done as quickly as possible,
and must be made safe from the
prying eyes of officers and lawabiding
neighbors.
Tliere is all chances of filth in the
keeping of the product after it is
made. The storeroom may be pig
pen, a corner of the cow lot, the old
surface closet, the chicken coop ,any
place where concealment can be made
effective, and it makes no difference
what may be added to the product in
the process, it is taken out and sold
in the night time to be consumed by
people who would certainly hesitate
if |Vipv IrMOvir limn If \i/ao
- v..v^ i>?*vM nvf? iv ??cvn |/? wviuttn aim
how it wras handled before reaching
the consumer.
"Many men," said Federal Prohition
Director, Geo. C. Bowen, of the
Florence prohibition office, as he lookedover
the reports sent in by the
agents in the field, "have more confidence
in their bootleggers than they
have in their own wives. If the ordinary
man finds a bit of dirt in his
food, he will storm around and talk
about leaving home and getting a divorce,
and yet he will dring the stuff
that the bootlegger sells him without
questioning its cleanliness or purity."
"Chicago and Paris are much interested
in monkey glands, but here in
South Carolina our interest is largely
in monkey rum. Monkey glands may
do some good," Mr. Bowen added,
"hut 1 am certain that monkey rum
will kill any one in time if one persists
in drinking it."

made in all .sorts of places, under ihe ?
most unsanitary conditions. Stills
have been constructed of tin cans,
old wash boilers, zinc bottles and other
receptacles unfit for such purposes.
Stuif cooked in these vessels is pois- ,
onous beyond a doubt, and one would
not believe without seeing it, the
kinds of stuff out of which the liquor ,
is made. Watermelon and muskmelon
rinds, grapes, potatoes, meal, and
other things, usually gathered from
garbage cans, are used foi making
mash, and into this is aumped concentrated
lye, and even the refuse
from horse stables, to aid in Hie fer- 1
mentationfi How anyGfi* can drink 1
fhe liquor made from this kind of ;
mash and live, I cannot understand." 1
The belief prevails that the illicit
liquor made in the mountains of South |'
Carolina is pure, but Federal Agents
declare they have fond it just as fil- 1
thy as elsewhere.
In the old days men used to see 1
snakes after they had over indulged <
in liquor, but now they see them both
before and after, according to reports i
from other states received by Mr. ?
Bowen, but he said that he had not
found any snakes in mash in South 1
Carolina. According to these reports,
Federal Agents, , upon destroying
mash, have found in it snakes, lizards, i
frogs, rats, mice, maggots and all 1
sorts of vermin. In Missouri, some
time ago, a live pig was found in *
mash, only his snout sticking out to
enable him to breath.

HORRY GAINS
State aid is a great thing for some
of the counties of this State, in the
matter of maintaining the public
schools, among them being our own
county of Horry.
Some of the counties, including i
Horry, get more money from State aid
than the people pay for school taxes into
the State treasury.
Among the beneflctary counties
unesterflelcl leads with $50,007.70, <
with Horry second, $55,770.35. Ocoieo
county is third in the beneficiary i
list with a total of $53,190.40 in ox- <
cess of their taxes for school purposes.

QUINCE GRAHAM
FOUND GUILTY
Second Trial of Charge
Brought by His Uncle
/ David
WITI\IESSES~RECOUNT FACTS
Jury Recommends to the Mercy
of the Court?Saves
Jail Sentence
The State vs Quince Graham charged
with assault with intent to kill up3n
his uncle, David Graham, came up
tirn r. i- tJ *1- - 1 * #
?"<i w?a uieii iur ine second time last
*eok in the Court of General Sessions.
The case was tried for the first
time in the spring of 1021, and resulted
in a verdict of assault and battery
of a high and aggravated nature.
From this he appealed and was granted
,a new trial by the Supreme Court
an two grounds.
First, the Supreme Court held that
it was wrong for the circuit judge to
fillow the prosecutor to say that he
had prosecuted Quince Graham for
breaking into his house and he had
pleaded guilty of it.
Second, in the next place that the
circuit judge had used an illustration
of the old negro man who pleaded
self defense to hog stealing, thinking
that it would be a safe defense.
This last trial began on Wednesday
and lasted over until Thursday.
About the same evidence was prer>(l
flu Kftfni-n
Th defense moved for a directed
verdict which was refused and the
trial proceeded.
David W. Graham testified in substance
that he was passing along the
road on his way to Aynor and found
w pistol in the road. A little later
Quince Graham came along and
threatened to kill him if he did not
give up the pistol; that ho kept the
revolver and would not give it up until
he got to Aynor and then surrendered
the firearm to an officer.
The defendant testified that he only
said he would shoot if the old man
lid not give the pistol up, ,and only
wanted to get back his property; that
lie had the pistol in his buggy on the
scat and it had dropped out into the
road.
A number of witnesses testified for

Shooting followed Gibson, I
Home and Bailey Trial on ? I
Thursday of Court I
A terrible condition developed in I
rioyds township last Thursday. Some I
awless character shot Lawerence I
Bailey through a window of his home I
is the man was undressing for bed, I
ind filled his body full of shot. I
The news was communicated to I
Sheriff James A. Lewis, and ho left I
o head a posse to track down the I
>erpetrator with blood hounds. I
This crime was committed on the I
light following the witidup of a trial I
n the Court of General Sessions here, I
n which Lawerence Bailey was the I
>rosecutor against Jim Gibson and I
)ssie Home on a charge of shooting I
it Bailey some time agj. The case I
lad progressed so far that the ver- I
lict of guilty had been found against I
Gibson and Home, but they had not I
>een sentenced, but the sentence was 1
supposed to be deferred until next I
lay, and then the court had adjourned I
ind it was during the night that the I
ihooting took place. I
The news of the shooting of Bailey
eported as the dastardly deed of
>robably someone who had perhaps
>een connected with the case of the
lay before or at least interested in
t on the side of the defense, causd
:ome excitement among the officials of
he court.
Further details of the affair were
iwaited about the courthouse last Frilay
with eaper interest.
It was reported by the parties inerested
for the defense that the Gibion
and Home parties had arrived
>ack to their homes and were at a late
tupper when this new shooting took
>lace. Ossie Home and Gibson were
lue to be back in court on Friday to
eceive sentence upon the verdict the
Oiry had found. So far as known
hese parties were back in the court
oom but at a late hour on Friday th^ <
entence had not yet been pronounced.
