A Business Stalwart
Marks 100th Birthday
(From The Atlanta Constitution of
Tuesday, October 15, 1957)
Thousands of Georgians are planning to converge
upon Blackshear tomorrow for a mammoth celebration
marking the 100th anniversary of The Brantley Company,
the oldest firm in Pierce County.
The mercantile business that Benjamin Daniel Brant
ley founded has grown into one of the best known and.
respected enterprises in south Georgia. The Brantley
Company now serves as an investment and holding group
for 10 businesses.
During its century of progress the firm has wielded
a terrific impact upon southeast Georgia. In good times
and in the lean years of depressions the company has
practiced the policies of fair play and good citizenship.
The close tie between the history of that section of the
state and the growth of The Brantley Company was de
scribed last week in an excellent special edition of The
Blackshear Times.
The Constitution joins ip extending birthday greet
ings. In the drive to obtain new industries it is important
to remain ever appreciative of the well-established busi
ness and industrial stalwarts that already have contri
buted so much to the economy of Georgia and are con
tinuing to do so.

15 Stills Are
Destroyed
In Charlton
Federal and state revenue a
gents destroyed 15 moonshine
stills in Charlton county last
week in what was described as
an all-out drive to halt the in
flux of bootleggers into the area
from neighboring Florida coun
ties.
William Maine, agent in charge
of the U. S. Alcohol and Tobacco
Tax Unit office at Waycross, said
many Florida moonshiners were
apparently moving their opera
tions into Georgia because of a
campaign being staked against
them by Baker County, Florida
Sheriff Ed Yarbrough. Yarbrough
has reportedly destroyed 40 stills
since taking office last January.
Maine feels that because things
are getting too hot for them they
are transferring their operations
across the St. Marys River since
all the stills destroyed were lo
cated in the Southern tip of the
county near the Florida line.
An airplane was said to have
been used in spotting the stills.
No operators were found at the
stills but agent did arrest a Ne
gro driving a truck loaded with
4,700 pounds of sugar.
Maine said most of the stills
were tank type and ranged in
capacities from 1,000 to 2.000
gallons. All were destroyed by
dynamite.
