DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 23, 1886. TM New Administration is not Their Friends. ^raa.d More dourly Than Undrr lirpnhilran •ale—Thr Illicit Truffle la Dlmlnlalilns In (he Sssth-Urowth of thr Temperance Sentiment. Washington, D. C., December 20.— About the most surprised people in this •ountry over the effects of tno election are the “moonshiners,” or illicit distillers of the southern Btatcs. They are most of them ignorant sort of people, and many of them believed the arrests and punishment to which they were subjected under re publican rule were mere acts of partisan Oppression. This class believed that when they got an administration of their own party they would not be further molested. To their suprise, however, they find that the new broom sweeps cleaner thnn the Old one. and that instead of being permit ted to carry on their illicit distilling with out molestation, they are held up to the law a good deal more rigidly than ever. To say that they are astonished tells it hut faintly. They And that the arrests do not stop, but that they are increased greatly, and that illicit distilling is much more difficult and dan gerous than ever before. The lesson is proving a valuable one to them, too, for it h setting them to thinking and giving them to understand that it is the law thut Was and is troubling them, and not any « srsonal feeling on the part of the officers. hose who are studying the matter believe that the result will be to break up the sys tem of illicit distillin, pretty much all over the south. I was talking with Col lector llillsman, of the western Tennessee district about this. His district includes a considerable part of the mountain country of Tennessee, for it covers a very large part of the state, the eastern district hav ing only a few mountain counties on the extreme end of the state. He tells me lie has broken up hundreds of illicit distillers since he assumed charge of the district. “I had pretty hard work at first about it,” lie said. “The illiet dis tillers were mountaineers mostly, not con versant with tiie law or the condition of the revenue laws, and they thought, many of them, that the treatment they received before had been oppression. They thought, a good many of them, thut when the Was a change in the polities of the admin istration they would have no more trouble.” '“•‘It was quite a surprise to them, was it not, to find that the law was still rigidly administered.” “Very much of a surpriso. I wont out among them us much us I could and talk- ad with them personally, showing them what my duty wuh and wiiat theirs was too. A good many of them quietly gave np when lliey saw tile situation, though of course they were greatly surprised to know that the change did not help them any. Others, however, continued, and the re sult has been that we have broken up sev eral hundred stills in my district that were operating without license and paying no tax.” “Have you found it necessary to sacri fice much life in making hundreds of ar rests?” “None. I think the shooting and wai- fhre that accompanied the arrests of moo:.- shiners in former years were unnecessary in a great degree.” “ llow do you manage to keep track of these distillers and knowing whether they are running and whore they are located V” “We divide the districts up into a dozen divisions and put a deputy collector in charge of each. They keep track of the condition of affairs in their section as well as they can by traveling around and doing a sort'of detective work. When they hear of anybody that is running a little distil lery without paying the tax they notify the collector, and a couple of officers are detailed to help them capture the still, and capture the offenders, if possible. Sometimes two or t.lir e of these inspect ors arc sent together to help arrest one man or a party of men. In this way we are getting them pretty well cleaned up now. Of eoursu many of them set in again oa soon us they got a chance, but I think oil the whole that the number of those who t ry it is being greatly reduced.” “How large are the stills that are run in this way without paying tax?” “Oh, little follows generally, distilling from live to ten gallons a day.” “What do they do witli their whbky when they get it made?” "Sell it slyly, ns they make it.” “What do they make it of?” “Corn, generally. There is little rye or bourbon whisky made by this eluss of dis lillers.” “How about the fruit brandy makers?” “They give us a great deal of trouble. They make but very little spices. So little that it does not pay to keep a gauger to Watch them us we do with all legitimate grain distillers. So we have to tako the word of the men who make fruit brandy for the amount they make.” “Do you call a the same per gallon on fruit brandy Unit you do on other spirits?” “Yes, just the same per gallon. Ninety cents per gallon. Hut it is very iiurd to gait that. As I said, they make so little that we can’t keep officers to wall'll the distil lers as we ilo with the grain distillers, and the result is that wo have to tako then word for it generally. We compel them to keep a record of their work, the amount of fruit bought or used and the umouiit of brandy produced.” “But what if they don’t do that?” “Wo can then proceed against them the same os against the other distillers. If we have reason to believe that they are not playing fair we can overhaul them at any time, destroying theirdistilling machinery and make them pay up or go to the peni tentiary the same us other illicit distillers. But I have no doubt a good many of them escape punishment or payment of tax on what they muke, for, as 1 said, we have lit tle on which to keep any restraint over them.” “But you say that illicit distilling is growing less in tile south?” “Undoubtedly.” “Because of the vigilance of the new officials?” “Partly that and partly because of the growing sentiment against the use of dis tilled spirits. The temperance sentiment is taking deep root in tlio south, and be tween thut and the determined opposition to it on the part of t lie new officials, wno are of the same political party with most of the distillers, they are gradually giving it up. I think the days of moonshiners are pretty Well past in most of ilie southern states. Of course there is more or less of it, especially in the mountain districts, where il is difficult to prevent it, but be tween the temperance sentiment, the growth of intelligence, anil the better understanding of the laws, and the dispo sition to enforce them without respect to person or party, there is a general disposi tion to give it up as a bad job.” Malaria.
