BOND CASK IS APPEALED Sweetening In “Smok- OFFICERS BY SO. GA. Excessive _ _ ty Jo«" Believed to Be One Cause for Ihe' Impending Shortage ' Here's another good reason for atop* ing the making of "Smokey Joe" in Tift aunty, if any additional reaeon to those re already hare la needed. A two months sugar shortage is threat ening Tifton, and it Is believed that one ot the things leading up to the shortage is the use of such large quantities of sugar in the making of "blind tiger" -liquor. The Impending sugar shortage la not tnfined to Tifton alone but seems to be ►neral in Georgia, and may even reach to other states. Other sections of Geor- a express the opinion that the shortage , at least in part due to the Urge use of sugar by illicit distilleries. No Shortage Here Now \In speaking to a Gaaette representative this morning, Mr. B. Y. WaU * stated that there waa no sugar aborUge ln Tifton but that bit bouse had only about , days' supply on hand and were Ie to pUce orders for delivery before iber. ThU would indicate that Tif- in for a sugar shortage lasting Wallace said be might be able to get brown sugar, but had not Investigated this phase of the situation. The Central Grocery Company has been securing its supply of sugar from the Savannah refineries, but waa informed when an effort was made to place an order that the Food Administration had ordered the Savannah refineries to ship their product to Europe. 4,000 GALLONS BEER DESTROYED MONTH Six Stiffs Destroyed by Sheriff Shaw Since May 6. Mach Sugar Used for "Smokey Joe" Sheriff J. M. Shaw reports that he has destroyed six moonshine stills in Tift county since May 0, or s little over one month. In these raids, more than 4,000 gallons of beer were poured out. Four of the stills destroyed were made of poplar plank; the other two being can sttlla. Mr. Shaw estimates that of the more destroyed, only syrup, granulated sugar being used In the man ufacture of the balance. At one atlll where Mr. Shaw destroy ed 700 gallons of beer, be found thirteen empty 100-pound anger seeks. As it took about thin much sugar to make 700 gallons it Is no wonder sugar la getting abort.
