Columbus, Ga., May 17.—Captain
Dallas B. Smith, commander of the
Opelika, Ala., militia, was sent to
take charge of the situation at Girard,
Ala., across the state line from here,
This action was taken after a force of
deputies, rushed on a special train
this morning from Montgomery, raid
ed illegal liquor shops in Girard to
day and confiscated many thousand
dollars worth of liquor.
It was reported that Governor Hen
derson, of Alabama, said in Birming
ham tonight, that the militia was
sent to take charge of an enormous
quantity of liquor seized.
The governor said the liquor would
not be moved without a court order.
Despite this, M. S. Baughn, special
law agent of the attorney general of
Alabama, who had charge of the raid,
made arrangements tonight for five
railroad cars to move the liquor to
morrow. He said he would move it
unless stopped by Injunction.
Mayor Morgan of Girard ordered
policemen to protect the property of
Girard citizens and Baughn’s men
were instructed to arrest any who in
terferred. Thus far there has been
no trouble.
Three hundred barrels of whiskey
were found in one place in lower
Girard. In a farm house five miles
from town a stock of liquor was esti
mated at fifty thousand dollars. Some
estimates placed the liquor found as
high as five -hundred thousand, it is
alleged here.
Judge West did not hold court yes
terday, adjourning for the day in
nonor of the meeting of the Pythians
—many who would have been at
court attending the exercises yester
day morning at the Opera House.
The regular calendar will be taken
up this morning.
