“MEDICINE MEN”
COME AND FIND-MOONSHINE’
And.Judging froni Appearaaces,
They Had Found Some Some¬
where Before They Reached
This County.
Last Saturday’s 4.03 v. m. train
brought to Conyers five men
who stopped for a short while at
the Commercial, advertising
themselves to the curious as“med
iciue men.” A hack provided,
they departs t to some poinP'for a
concert,” informing the landlord
that they would want lodging for
the niglit and breakfast next
morning. The night passed on,
but the men did not return until
just before day, ready to take
the 3:80 train for Atlanta. They
had a jolly time, having ventur¬
ed over into Walton county,
where they found plenty of com
juice, the place where it was
made and the machinery with
which it was made. Acting un¬
der authority vested in them
from the U. S. government as
revenue officers they confiscated
the distillery and arrested the
violators of law. The machinery J
was brought into Conyers,!
though 110t sllippod tlmt night.
m^n arrested were Messrs,
Burnett, Michum, Maim and
Smith. Burnett and Smith we
learn are citizens of Rockdale ;
Michum and Mann of Walton.
We are glad to know that Mr.
Burnett was released, and that
Mr. Binitli gave bond and that
both tire now at home. Messrs.
Miclntm and Maim were detain¬
ed in Atlanta for further inves¬
tigation.
The officers who passed through
the city Saturday afternoon had
from a l appearances a goodly
quantity of the juice aboard,
while on their return to take the
early express the juice had them,
We think it a sad comment on
the government to have men
throughout the countryarrestiug
citizens for distilling by officers
who are so far gone as to be“out
of balance, 1 y They were
drunk or feigned to be so at the
depot So say those who saw
them.
On Sunday night the “still, i y
which was left at the station
house by the officers, was taken
and carried away by some un¬
known parties.
There will be a discussion in
Conyers upon the subject of the
free coinage of silver on the 25tli
of this month. The meeting will
be held in the courthouse, The
subject is one fraught with much
interest to our people, and on
which there is great difference of
opinion. Let the matter be thor¬
oughly discussed that our people
may understand each other by
the time of elections in ’99, that
they may vote intelligently and
rightly upon the subject Ev¬
erybody feeling an interest in
the matter is invited to attend.
