InterviewsMr.
Verdell On Liquor
(BY T. LARRY GANTT)
I iia.l a chat with my-friend Mr.
T m Verdell, prohibition enforce-,
m-nt officer, about the kind
liquor now being manufactured end
sold. Mr. Verdell eaye If a man
would follow hie raiding officers to
Illicit stills and see the stuff that
,., r whskey being peddled Is made
of. they would swear off from ever
drinking any more. He eaye tho
only real corn whiskey comes from
the upper mountain counties, and
before iliis is sold It Is oftsn doct-
lored to make two or more gallons
of one. But the vile decoctl6n* mads
in the country extending from
White rounty southward Is not only
poisonous, but Rltby. He says
much of It is mads of grain and
molases. but ths handling and
adulteration Is the worst.
IT HAS
A KICK
lie says he has seen; Muff alive
with maggots shovetad -into'stills
and made Into liquor, the mask
being rotten. Distillers says It Is
ail right, after Ming boiled end
psiiing Into the worm and those
who drink the whiskey, know no
bettar. It bee a kick and' makes
drunk come. And this la-not all.
In order to make wiilikey bead,
bone manure la put Into the stilt
und cooked with tbe grain or mo
lnses. This It now a common pra
ctice with illicit distillers. It
alao said that when, animals arc
fed on oorn. runs of liquor
made from distilling .the drippings
collected in stables. And yet man
will drink this stuff, that la the
extract of filth.
Mr. Verdell says he does not
think moonshiners now put potash
Into (heir Uquor, for a better bead
can he had by using stable manure.
The potash Is used for cleaning
mill after a run. When a person
buys and drinks ths bootleg Uquor
now manufactured and sold, he la
either imbibing poison or filth.
Bootleggers know they run a risk
and all they care for Is the money.
They will make * run ofethelr vile
