POURED "LICKER" INTO SEWER MAIN Ttilrty (.aliens of Contraband IMs os ed of (?Hi?-lulls In the Presence of a Curious Crowd. Thirty gallons of "good I Icker" coursing down the sewer main of this city is the sad tale of an official act by Sheriff Owings and his constables Thursday morning. 'Twas a mourn ful spectacle to many?some cussed. In the large crowd of bystanders there were watery mouths galore; eyes were widened with astonishment; some wished they were fishes in the waters of Little river, into which this "oil of joy" was flowing. And to think that Sheriff Owings could be BO cruel. Some one?no names?sim ply could not stand the sight, and to "get even" with the sheriff, wrote on one of the cases about to be opened: "Sheriff Jno. i> Owtngs, Laurens, S. C, express prepaid"?and then the laugh was on the officer for bringing out his own "jug" and destroying it by mistake. The thirty gallons of whiskey have been held in the sheriffs office for the alotted thirty days; it has been seized, at various times, from per sons in and around Laurens. wh" were under suspicion of selling it. No claim and delivery papers having been served upon the officers, it was de stroyed by due process of law. This Is the first official act of this kind in these parts in many years.
