the most highly respected qnd loved
women in Milledgeville, passed away

A. D. Echols, in Atlanta Saturday.
The announcement of the death

ing of the hgarts of scores of friends
in Milledgeville, where she resided
during th e seven[y-fo u r years of
isr life. Before her marriage she
was Miss Susan Amanda Ferrell,
becoming the bride of the late Capt.
Geo. W. Caraker when quite a young
woman, immediately following the
Civil war.
Few women were so universally
r ] known in Milledgeville as was Mrs.
Caraker. All of her life was spent
in this city and to all she was known
as one possess a lovable and charit
able disposition and it sad that dur
ing her career she was credited with
hundreds of kindnesses to her friends
and neighbors.
The body of the deceased was
brought to Milledgeville Saturday
evening and taken to the home of
Mr. G. T. Whilden preparatory to

sence of Rev. C. M. Lipham, pastor
of the Methodist church, to which
Mrs. Caraker was a member.
The interment was in the city
cemetery, the pall bearers being Dr.

Rev. H. D. Warnock, pastor of
the Milledgevijle Baptist church, was
elected Wednesday by the board of
:rustees of the stale sanitarium as
chaplain of the institution for the
year of 1923.
At a meeting of the hoard of
trustees of the sanitariuh held sev-
-ral weeks ago, Rev, Carl Minor.
>nstcr of the First Baptist church ot
Cmericus, was elected to do minis
,eria| work at the state sanitarium.
Vt the time Mr. Minor was elected
ty the trustees it was the purpose of
he hoard to obtain regularly the
■ci'vices of the minister and to pro-
•ide for him a home at the institu
tion. However, since Americus min
ister advised the board of trusted
that he would be forced to decline
he offer, due. to the fact he had ac
cepted the pastorate of the Ameri-
■ us church for another year, a decis-
; on has been reached to employ
again the custom of naming a
chaplain for the institution.
One of the monstrous stills ever
known to be operated in this section
of Georgia was captured in Baldwin
county near Sand Hill church, about
eight mi|es east of Milledgeville,
Wednesday, while another of un
usual large capacity was captured
on the Latimore place, in the sodth-
astern part of the county, Tuesday.

eight horse power steam boi|er an ac
cording to the raiding officers the
outfit had been in operation about,
six weeks, turning out around 125
gallons of whiskey per day. With
the outfit were three ferminters 1
feet long, 3 1-2 feet wide and 3 1-2
feet deep, the officers finding at the
time ten barrels of beer, ■•each barrel
containing fifty gallons. According
to the officers the still had been in
operation shortly before they reach
ed, the outfit being, so warm from
fire as to make it difficult tq handje.
However, the operators had made
heir disappearance before the raid-
-rs reached the still and no arrests
were made.
In the capture of the 100 gallon
till located on the Latimore place,
>ne negro, George Clay, and placed
under arrest. C|ay admitted to the
officers that he was the owner and
operator of the still. He was
brought to Milledgeville by the of
ficers and placed in jail here, later

in the sum of $350.00. With this
stil| was found the quantity of 1,000
gallons of r.iash in preparation for
the making of whiskey.
lbe negro » lay had in his posses
ion when taken into custody by the
officers one Winchester rifle and an
automatic shot gun.
It is understood that the nninc of
two white men are held ns suspects
in the operation of the large still
captured on the Thomas place
