SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, JULY 5, 1899.
CAPTURE BIG STILL.
Revenue Officers Carter and Glad
den Get One Near
Subligna.
Revenue Ofiicers Bartow Carter
and Walter Gladden captured a
big moonshine still near Subligna
in Chattooga county Wednesday
morning.
They reached the city about
dusk that night with Frank Law
rence, the moonshiner, about for
ty gallons of corn whiskey and the
fine copper still.
The capture is an important one,
and one which the revenue men
have been trying to make for some
time. It was known to them that
a still was being operated in that
section, and once before they came
here to make the capture, but Law
rence had friends here, and a run
ner was sent out to notify him.
The moonshiner removed all traces
of the still and when the officers
arrived on the scene they found
nothing.
This time they made a very cir
cuitous journey and reached the
neighborhood Tuesday. They lay
around the still all night and next
morning at 7 o’clock Lawrence ar
rived and went to work. The rev
enue men walked in on him and
he gave up without any trouble.
The still was of 100 gallon ca
pacity, an unusally large moon
shine outfit and a very valuable
one. The worm and copper still
cost fully SIOO. The officers pour
out about 200 gallons of mash and
brought away all the whiskey
found.
The capture of Lawrence is one
of the most important made in
sometime. He had hundreds of
friends, and it was almost impos
sible to surprise him before some
body would warn him.
He has been operating a long
time and is an old experienced
hand. ‘The revenue men spent the
night here and will carry their
prisoner to Atlanta tonight.

FARMERS’ EARNINGS.
Per Capita Production of Farm
Laborers $225 a Year
Without Board.
Washisgtcn, June 30.—At the
session of the Industrial Commis
sion George K. Holmes of the Ag
ricultural Department was heard
He furnished statistics showing
that the average per capita earn
ings of farm laborers in the United
States amount to $225 per annum
without board, compared to $227
paid to persons engaged in domes
tic service; $420 paid to miners,
and $445 paid to those engaged in
the mechanical arts. He also sub
mitted figures showing the per
capita production of the agricul
turists of the United States to be
$177 in the South Atlantic States;
s2ll in the Southern Central
States; $362 in the North Central
States; $389 in the North Atlantic
States, and $519 in the Western
States, the average production in
manufactures being SBSO per capi
ta per annum.
From these figures he reached
the conclusion that the condition
of the farm laborer was wretchedly
poor, while that of the farm owner
was little better. He estimated
that after all expenses were paid
the farmer receives an average of
only $22.61 per month, counting
nothing for interest. For the past
few years there has been a con
stant decline in the price of farm
products, except in meat, dairy
and poultry products.
He asked that the agricultural
trusts be remembered. Among the
farmers’ organizations which he
considered in the nature of trusts
were the numerous fruit associa
tions of California and other states
and the Milk Producers Associa
tion of Boston. There was also a
tendency toward organization
among the cotton growers, and if
it ever took definite shape it would
be the most gigantic trust in the
ccuntry.
Any law applying to trusts must
bear upon these organizations and
there was no doubt, he said, they
had been beneficial. He also re
ferred to tho numerous farmers’
co operative associations, of which,
he said, there were 10,000 in the
country. He thought they should
be subject to state supervision for
the protection of their members
against dishonesty and incompe
tency. Mr. Holmes also suggested
that the Southern states should
take means to limit the percentage
of liens on growing cotton crops.
He considered the credit system in
the South responsible for the over
production of this staple.
At the conclusion of Mr. Holmes’s
testimony the commission ad
journed until September 5.

One of the most beautiful and
tender tributes paid to a woman
' was that of Rev. Sam Jones who
(delivered the funeral sermon of
Mrs. Eva Dean,of Rome, Georgia.
He used in the begining of his dis
course this sentence: “She was the
I truest sweetest character I ever
1 knew, and I meat, it in every sense
the words imply. She never touch
ed a life but to up lift it. To know
her aud talk to her was to be bet

Mr. W. W. Draper, suggested
that a fund should bo raised by
the people to rebuild General John
B. Gordon’s house. Mr. Draper
said this morning that he thought
this matter should be taken up by
the United Confederate Veterans
throughout the south, lib believes
that a sufficient sum for the pur
pose indicated can be raised by the
old soldiers if a large percentage of
the United Confederate Vertrans
will contribute $ Leach to the Gor
don fund.
Mr. Draper will write to Ajudant
General George Moorman of the
United Confederate Veterans at
New Orleans, with a view to enlist
