moonshiners fight
REVENUE OFFICERS.
■ I
Fuller Receives Bullet in Arm.
Others Slightly Wounded.
A pitched battle with pistols and
guns between three internal revenue
officers and four or five persons wiio
were apprehended, it is declared by
the officers, in an illicit distillery,
took place early Monday morning at
about 1 o’clock in the edge of Blar
row county, near Statliam.
The battle matched the affairs
which were of frequent occurrence
iu the far-up mountain regions of
the slate twenty and thirty years*
ago.
Having been given their cue, Dep
uty Collector H. D. Miller, his 6on,'
L. A. Mil'er, and Ft. C. Parks, of Au
burn, slipped to the spot in the wood
late last night. For hours they wait
ed and finally saw men at work about
the still, according to their story.
Watching them for an hour till
they were just ready to “make a
run,” they made some movement
which attracted the attention of one
of the alleged' moonshiners. The
man at the still drew a pistol and
began firing at the young Miller.
The father returned the fire at once
and then the fusillades wore rapid.
Volley after volley was fired .
Gre-n Fuller, one of the men at
the still, had an arm shot to piecce
and was brought to Winder.
W. R. Smith and W. M. Payne
were captured and carried to Athens
and the former was bound over by
.the United States Commissioner in
SSOO .bond. Payne, said to have done
thi * st shooting, was held to $(5,000
bond.
A fellow by the name of Peppers
was in Winder Monday looking for
the revenue officers for the purpose
of giving up, claiming that he was
owner and sole operator of the still,
it is said. f (
A CORRECTION.
There is a report current about
town that the Woodruff North Geor
gia Fair would be moved outside of
the city limits. To correct this error
we will advise that the management
contemplates no such move, while it
is true that most county fair grounds
are located outside of the city limits
and a fair can be made a success
outside of town as well as inside, yet
we prefer to remain inside and use
the same grounds and have already
•leased the land for a fair grounds
for next year and the plans for the
1916 fair are being worked out, and
we will have newi and startling feat
ures to announce later. The fair is a
favorite work that the writer and his
associates have labored long and hard
to perfect and we hope to make! the
1916 fair a biggt success than ever.
We believe the farmers and the peo
ple in general 1 with us in the
work and their co-operation we- ap
preciate very much. More induce;
ments will be offered than has ever
before been offered by any ounty
fa'r organization.
G. W. Woodruff.
HOLD, ENOUGH.
Mr Ford proposes to go “sailing,
sailing, over the bounding main” In
a chartered vessel, manned —or fem
inized—by the spirit of peace, to
pacify the warring nations and drag
the embattled soldiers from their
trenches. How this process of retrac
tion wiill be accomplished has not
been divulged; that is, as yet, Mr.
Ford’s secret.—Ba'timore News.
The News says 1 : “This has e\->r
been an unbelieving world, slow to
credit what it wou'd most lake to see
accomplished. There were doubttng
Thomases long before the days of the
New Testament. So now wie are
a little skeptical about the success
of Mr. Ford's experiment; we doubt
whether the forces of war can be
Istemmed even by the jitney millions,
until one cr another of the belliger
ent is wiirng to cry: Ho’d, Enough.

Mrs. Ruth Harper Chambers.
Statham, Ga., Be ember Ist, 1915-
Our people were saddened on Oc
tober 4, 1915, by the death of Mrs.
Ruth Harper Chamber's, a beloved
member of the Statham Missionary
Society. Her death was a beautiful
testimony of her Christian life and
her assurance of salvation. Tlbere
was no fear dn going; only a sor
row 'in being separated from her
loved ones. She had implicit faith
In His promisemand a child-like trust
in hi love.
Sihe joined the Baptist churdh at
Statham, March 11, 1911, and by
her life and works testified that
she was walking wtilih Glod. She wtas
a consecrated Christian worker! in
the church and Sunday school and a
loyal member of the Woman's Mis
sionary Society. We mire her from
our band and feel deeply grieved at
the loss of hen promising young life
dedicated to Christian service.
Her early education was received
at the State Normal School and she
later graduated at iLucy Cobb. She
was a successful teacher and her
example meant much to the young
lives with whom she oame in contact.
TV> her family we expend our deep
est sympathy in this bereavement
and ask God’s blessings .on all/ her
loved ones.
