Everyone that is operating a motor scooter without a drivers license will come into court. WE ARE GOING TO STOP WRECKLESS SPEED ERS, on ALL OUR STREETS, and we are going to pay special attention to the “race tracks” that our young bucks are using, along our best streets, Strickland Street for instance, and Camelia Drive. Now regardless of who is arrested, black or white, rich or poor, the Mayor intends feeding them ALL out of the same spoon, and regardless of what a fine family they come from, and how poor they might be, they are going to have to suffer along with the rich. Likewise the rich is going to be handled just as if no one knew anyone. Not too long ago we had a young man in court, from a good family of POOR people, but not too poor to have an automobile that would run more than 100 miles an hour, which our police had to make to stop him. but who had just gotten a job and never had a dollar. We have suffered from criticism of the motor bikes that scoot up and down the streets, by both white and colored, and we hoping that they will be among the first that appear in court because we feel it would be a good lesson to some of the others. The drive can start anytime, but we have made the connections for the help on a 24 hour a day basis and even if it is in the wee hours of the morning, do not be surprise if the MAN GETS YOU, and if you are guilt God be with you when you come up before the Mayor, regardless of whether yoq are white or black, rich or poor. ENOUGH has just got to be ENOUGH. Sincerely yours Frank O. Miller Mayor George Taylors Os Savannah Visit Millers On Friday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. George Taylor of Savan nah came to Bryan County on a short trip “prospecting” and for a visit with the Miller’s at Needmore Farm, and they visit ed their good friend E. B. (Bil ly)^ Miles in the bank, also visited with Mr. E. W. Miles for a few minutes at his store, finally landing up at Needmore Farm. They had been our guests in the past months at Charlies Place at Richmond Hill where you get the most delicious steaks etc. that money can buy, so they asked us to go with them as their guests to Charlies Place, and they did not have to twist our arm to get us to agree to go. Before going to Charlies Place, we carried them by The Perry Rushings, who has a love ly home, and they have been friends of Ye Editor and Mrs. Miller for lo these many years. We wanted our Savannah friends to see our Bryan friends, and see their lovely -home. While at the Rushing home Ye Editor and Mrs. Mill er accepted an invitation to go down Thursday afternoon and sleep “in our room,” that they have been telling us for a long time was ours, and they wanted us to come down for a visit. Well we are going to do just that Thursday afternoon and will be back in Pembroke dur ing the evening of Friday. We wound up at Charlies and enjoyed one of his famous steaks, prepared as only Charlie knows how to do the job, and learned that Charlie was going to be closed due to the fact that he would be in Atlanta and will be paying off the last monthly payment on his place of business at Richmond Hill which was originally known as Kassels Place and which Charlie has more or less work ed out and paid for this fine establishment. Yes, we count Charlie and his wife as being among our best friends, and al ways enjoy going there.

Remains Os A Prosperous Still I I I i < I i & tit ItF Tl B A B UI A' WIK J If * « -- •• Shown above is what was left of a “healthy still”, located just off of 119 and just out of the City Limits of Pembroke. A large quantity of “high quality” moonshine liquor was destroyed. Much mash poured out to make more “good licker” from, many 5 gallon plastic bigs destroyed, plus about 1500 pounds of good sugar cut open with axes and left for the bees to eat.

Federal Agents Destroy Sugar y ♦' ■ ■ sir aWtst ■ I ' ' agfk Shame and disgrace for this good sugar, in its original 5 pound package to be split open with an ax and left to go to waste—poor needed it. Don’t get us wrong, we are not criticising the Federal Officers that raided a still site on the outskirts of Pem broke Thursday night about midnight, and destroyed a still, and about 65 gallons of “first class liquor”, and de stroyed, poured out and cut up what was left of the still operation. They did their duty there. The ones running this outfit was law violators, and we have nothing good to say for them. But for the Federal Agents, and we are sure thev were instructed to do as they did, to come here and “destroy” approximately 1500 pounds of sugar, which was in its original 5 pound package, just like it came out of the store, being cut open with an ax and left for the bees to eat. Ye Editor visited the still site on Friday morning and has a picture of the still as the officers left it, and the above picture was made by Ye Editor showing the waste of approximately 1500 pounds of fine granulated sugar. We feel that if the proper officials had seized this sugar, and stored it in the County Sheriff’s office, as he was along on the raid, and then later it could have be:n given to the schools, the Poverty office and let someone get the benefit from it. No, what they did benefitted no one. The Federal Government, the State Government are fighting Poverty wherever it may be found, but we think that the Federal Agents are told to destroy hundreds of pounds of good sugar, then it is high time someone, at some level of Government take a hand and see that the handling of commodities seized at a still, except the liquor, could be used to an advantage in the schools, the poverty programs or the hospitals of our state.
