Town Puts Its Ban OLD-TIME DISTILLERY On AH Sunday Work One Relic of the Past Is Still Busy Producing Corn Liquor in Alabama Alabama has one thing no other State has- that is the only corn whisky dis tillery of the old type so prevalent a few decades ago. In this case tha seeming lack of progress Is real prog ress, for by the old method the distiller got only two and a half gallons of liq uor from a bushel of corn and It w*s considered to be a generally healthful and palatable beverage. By the newer modem method the dis tilleries add what is known a* a cooker to their equipment, and boll out the last dror of juice from the corn, getting as much as five gallons to the bushel. But the quality is said not to be so good This old-time distillery is busy every day turning out corn liquor for people wiio prefer the old-time article.
