“Moonshine.”
Mr. W. G. Hoover and Mr. H. J.
Roberts were in to see us the first
of the week. Mr. Hoover in*
formed us that he had not been ar
rested for making whiskey in vio
lation of Uncle Sam’s laws, as
stated in the News last week and
Mr. Roberts says he never made a
bond for him. Mr. Hoover says
that the United States marshal told
him he did not know whether or not
he would make a case against him,
but if he did he would write Mr.
Hoover to meet him in Blakely to
accompany him to Columbus.
We investigated the matter and
found that there had been a mis
take made in saying Mr. Roberts
had made bond for Mr. Hoover;
also that a large tin can that would
hold five or six gallons, with a
cover and worm attached were
found in Mr. Hoover’s smokehouse
and that he gave a receipt to the
revenue officer for their safe keep
ing until called for by the govern
ment authorities; that he was al
lowed to go on his own recogni
zance, and will probably be carried
to Columbus shortly, where his case
* will be investigated.
In reference to Mr. King’s case,
which we also mentioned last week,
we find the following in a recent
issue of the Columbus Enquirer- ,
Sun :
A white man, 70 years old, faced
United Stateß Commissioner Brown
yesterday, charged with illicit dis
tilling.
His name was J. J. King, of
Early county, who was brought in
by Deputy Marshal C. D. Williams
The evidence showed that a barrel
of beer syrup had been found in
his house, and the paraphernalia of
a distilling apparatus about his
premises. The old man denied his
guilt. Being arraigned on a charge
of this sort was not exactly a sen
sation with him, for it is said that
he has been tried in the United
States court at Montgomery four
times on this charge, when he was
a resident of Alabama. He was
discharged each time, his age being
a factor in procuring his release,
the juries naturally sympathizing
with a person of his age and dis
liking to inflict any hardship upon
him.
Judge Brown assessed his bond
at SIOO and permitted the old man
to stand his own bond.
Farmers’ Institute Meeting.
March 2ist, 1903.
At a meeting of the farmers of
Early county held at the court
house in Blakely, Ga., this day, W.
~A. Jordan was made chairman and
Joseph Freeman was elected secre
tary.
Motion made by T. F. Jones that
the chair appoint a committee of
five to confer with Hon. Harvie
Jordan as to the date the Farmers’
Institute will be held, also to make
all necessary arrangements for hold
ing the same. Motion adopted and
the chair appointed J. T. Williams,
W. A. Jackson, L. D. Gay, J. F.
Creel and W. J. Howell on the
committee.
After an enthusiastic discussion
of the great benefit to be derived
by the farmers of this county to
have the Institute held here, the
meeting adjourned.
W. A. Jordan, Ch’m’n.
Joseph Freeman, Secretary.

What’s In a Name?
Everything is in the name when
it comes to Witch Hazle Salve.
E. C. DeWitt & Co., of Chicago,
discovered, some years ago, how to
make a salve from Witch Hazel
that is a specific for piles. For
blind, bleeding, itching and pro
truding piles, eczema, cuts, burns,
bruises and all skin diseases, De-
Witt’s Salve has no equal. This
has given rise to numerous worth
less counterfeits. Ask for De-
Witt’s—the genuine. Sold by Dr.
L. C. Strong.
It is reported that the Clay coun
ty grand jury found several “blind
tiger” indictments—during its re
cent session, and that some whole
sale dealers who shipped wet goods
to the town with “bill of lading
attached” to draft also got caught
in the meshes. It is likely the
“tiger” will keep at least one eye
open in Clay hereafter.

Danger from Colds and Grip.
The greatest danger from colds
and grip is their resulting in pneu
monia. If reasonable care is used,
however, and Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of thou
sands who have used this remedy
for these diseases we have yet to
learn of a single case having re
sulted in pneumonia, which shows
conclusively that it is a certain
preventive of that dangerous dis
ease. It will cure a cold or an
attack of the grip in less time than
any other treatment. It is pleas
ant and safe to take. For sale by
L. C. Strong.
Contented labor digs the grave
of worry.
