800 Gallons of Moonshine
Grabbed in Raid Near Here
I Booze Was Buried
In Many Places,
Raiders Discover
Sheriff’s deputies, city officers
and a GBI agent confiscated a
moonshine still and 800 gallons
of booze Saturday and Sunday in
raids at a place near the road
between the Marshallville Road
and the Old Fort Valley Road.
A Negro woman, Rosa Mae Won
num, alias Rosa Mae Elliott, was
arrested on a charge of possessing
illegal liquor. Three Negro men
escaped from the still when the
officers closed in. The woman was
placed under $750 bond.
Hundreds of gallons of the
moonshine were buried in the
ground in several places, and 70
gallons had just been poured up
at the still when the raid was
made, officers said.
The first raid Saturday morning
netted about 500 gallons and
more than 300 more gallons were
confiscated on Sunday morning af
ter an anonymous tip was received
that the suspected moonshiners
boasted around Perry that he “still
had a lot more—they didn’t get it
Officers making the raids were
Deputies Ed Chapman, N. C. Chap
man, City Policemen J. W. Ben
ford and Pat Padgett and C. D.
Leverette, GBI agent.
The moonshine was poured into
the sewers and flowed freely into
Big Indian Creek.
Suspect Left
Pants Behind
Policeman J. W. Benford
caught a suspect in a raici on
a still near here last Saturday
and held onto the pants but the
booze-maker ran right out of
his pants to his escape.

Bloodmobile Visit Set
Here Next Wednesday
Perry Jaycees and Jaycettes will
sponsor the Red Cross Bloodmo
bile visit on September 16, to be
held at the First Baptist Educa
tional Building on Wednesday,
Sept. 16, from 10 a. m. until 4
p. m.
What IS the Blood Mobile Pro
gram? Well, here are some facts
that perhaps you didn’t know:
First, the Red Cross is not in
the Blood Program by choice . . .
it was brought to the county by
the local medical association . . .
Perry’s quota is 200 pints annually
or 100 pints on each Bloodmobile
visit.
Did you know whole blood is
used to pull many patients through
dangerous operations?
Youngsters with rheumatic fever
get injections of gamma globulin,
a blood fraction, to save them
from a serious bout with measles
.... it is also used to protect
mothers-to-be who have been ex
posed to measles.
In the hospital ward, a quick in
jection of clear liquid, which is

blood, will save a man dying of
shock.
A child, who could die with
hemophilia, a bleeding disease,
can now have a safe operation for
the removal of diseased teeth, be
cause frozen plasma, was avail
able ....
A new born baby may be given
a complete new blood supply, to
halt a possibly fatal battle with
incompatiable antibodies in his
blood.
These are just a few of the com
mon, everyday uses of blood in any
large hospital.
Blood flowing in your veins has
become a miracle worker, newer in
some respects than penicillin.
Blood already does more life-sav
ing than any one of our wonder
drugs. Perry must meet its quota 1
of 100 pints on Sept. 16. Meet us 1

Hawkinsville Edges Panthers in Season Opener,
Winning 13-7 Against Local Two-Platoon Squad
BY FRANK HAGUE
The highly-favored Hawkinsville
I Red Devils squeezed out a 13-7 1
[ victory over the Perry Panthers
in Perry’s season opened last Fri- 1
| day night. A capacity-crowd filled
I the seats and all places along the
I sidelines to see the traditional ri
valry.
Although the game will go on
the scorebooks as a loss for the
Panthers, many Panther fans will ‘
regard the game as a moral vic
tory for the scrappy Perry eleven.
In pre-game ceremonies, the
Red Devils won the toss and elect
ed to receive. Taking the ball on
their own 28, the Devils took ten I
plays to push the ball into pay
[ dirt and post an early 6-0 lead.
(The scoreboard clock showed 7:46
I left to go in the first period as
I Hawkinsville split the uprights for
i the PAT on a kick by quarterback
Rodney Collins.
Fumble Hurts Cause
As the second quarter got under
way, Perry was on the march. The
first play of the second frame gave
' the Panthers the ball on the Devil
24, first and ten. Here disaster
struck. Fullback Isaac Davis tried
the middle of the Red Devil line
and the ball squirted out of his
grip. A swarm of red jerseys cov
ered the ball, giving Hawkinsville
possession on their 25.
For the remainder of the first
1 half, neither team made a serious
' scoring threat. Hawkinsville push
ed as deep as the Panther 32 but
lost the ball on downs. Perry got
no further than the Devil 42. Ball
control helped Perry during the
first half. The Panthers ran 33
plays from the line to Hawkins
ville’s 27.
Perry took the kickoff to begin
the second half, but was forced to
punt after seven plays. The kick
went out to the Hawkinsville 28.
From here, the Red Devils pushed
72 yards to paydirt in 10 plays.

Strong Box Peeled
But Loss Is Small,
Manager Reports
Burglars believed by police to be
amateurs broke in the Colonial
Store here early Sunday morning
but failed to get a large amount of
money.
Curtis Riner, store manager,
said the loss of money was small
and that some cigarets and other
smaller articles were missing.
Assistant Chief B. E. Dennard
reported that the burglars broke
open the back door of the super
market and struck the safe loca
ted in the front of the store. With
crowbars, the burglars peeled off
the outside layers of the safe but
couldn’t get into the strong box
itself, the officer said. They tried
both the front and back of the safe
but couldn’t penetrate the rein
forced concrete inside the safe.
Police said they checked the
safe about 3:30 a. m. and the ban
dits had to operate between that
hour and the dawn.
The office was left in chaos as
the burglars scrambled through
every item in the office for money.
The burglars apparently left by
the back door that they had en
tered. Police said professional safe
crackers would have been more
efficient in opening the safe.
Police are continuing their in

yard line. From here, Barfield
swung to his left and hotfooted it
into the end zone for six big Perry
points. Defensive specialist Bob
Cater added the PAT and Perry
was back in the ball game with
3:03 left on the clock.
Perry kicked to Hawkinsville
and forced them to punt. The
Panthers had the ball on their
own 8-yard line and had every in
tention of going all the way again
but Rodney Collins picked off a
Barfield aerial and the Devils sat
on the ball for the remainder of
the game, happy to have that 13-7
margin.
To Sandersville Friday
Tomorrow night, Perry journeys
to Sandersville to tangle with the
Golden Hawks of Washington
County in the first home game for
the Hawks. Last week, Washing

Baldwin County.
In the past, we have refrained
from trying to pick the winner,
but this time we go on record as
predicting an all-out Perry win
tomorrow night.
