WOODMEN ENJOYED A PICNIC.
More Than Five Hundred People
•Were Carried to White Springs
on the Train Yesterday.
(From Wednesday’s Dally.)
The Woodmen of the World had
a picnic yesterday which was a great
success, In point of numbers, good
behavior, plenty of fun and also
plenty to eat.
The excursion train of seven or
eight coaches on the Georgia South
ern nd Florida road carried more
than five hundred people into White
Norton of- pr,n **' Fla. ° Ter thre0 hundred
of the number got on the train at
Albany, brought four citizens o ^y a idosta and mor© than two hun-
Orady and Thomas counties tojdred of tjiem were Valdosta people.

The r»td. Springs people Joined them and
strong in three of them. The raids
were made at various times during
the last two years. The largest dis
tillery found tby the officer was a
200-gallon affair In' a branch near
the home of B. F. Lewi* Depufj!
Norton destroyed it and a large
quantity of beer and whiskey. The
still was not In operation at the time,
the owner probably having gotten
a “tip” of the contemplated visit
“by the deputy and left the scene. A
•path led from the distillery to the
"heme of Lewis, near-by.
All of the other stills were small
er, and were found In the homes of
the accused men. One of them had
Teen taken down and the man in
whose home It wa* found told the
officer that it belonged to his wife.
The deputy took this statement with
*‘a grain of salt” and advised the
man not to tell that sort of story to
the Judge when he was ibrought to
-trial.
It Is Bald that revenue officers
Tave raided thirteen distilleries in
one section of Thomas county dur
ing the past three years, the small
est being of 75 gallons capacity and
the largest 300 gallons. The latter
size still could turn out eight or ten
©•arrels of whiskey at a “run,” and
there is no doubt a very profitable
Tusiness for the makers was being
conducted. Conditions now an
to be much better than they for
filsted in making the day a pleasant
one.
The officers of the Woodmen of
the World had worked hard
make the picnic a success and they
are very enthusiastic over the result
of the day’s outing.
The only mishap of the evening
happened to Special Officer Gentry,
of the Georgia Southern road, who,
during a moment of extra vigilance,
keeping his eye on the running gear
as well as the interior of the train
lost a new Panama hat which he
was wearing for the first time,
expects, however, for the hat to he
returned to him.
MRS. WHITE IS DEAD.
Lady who Formerly Lived In Val
dosta died at fliomasville.
Judge Oscar Smith this morning
received a telegram from Mrs. A. C.
Booker, at Thomasville, informing
her of the death of her mother^ Mrs.
White, which occurred there last
night, and requesting him to ar
range for the interment here. The
remains will be brought to Valdosta
this afternoon on the 3.42 t^ain and
will be burled here,
Mrs. White formerly livejd^nthis
said city and Ha* a great many friends,
erly, here. She was a very aged lady, tno
were, and it Is »beMeved that the of
ficers have almost broken up “moon-
•shinlng In this section. The offend
ers are beginning to realize that the
“business is a risky one. and many
of those who are prone to engage in
It. find it safer to order their whis
key from the regular dealers and dis
tillers.

It Is tho new gospel-—whldh Is a

really means the manners of men
that rise without conscious call to the
surface of conduct.
For some years the manners of
the younger generation were abomi
nable. The boy had reached the In
terval. He had come to the point
when he knew that I am as good as
you, did not touch hlg hat . . .
and decided to reolgn the politeness
of subservience. It was a horrid In
