Speeding Automobiles Discouraged at Saluda
On Saturday afternoon last a young man who came from Lynn was apprehended by the officers after a spirited pursuit, for speeding through the town at an approximate rate of 35 miles an hour.
While preparations were being made to put him under bond, he broke arrest, and reaching his car, made a break for liberty, necessitating further pursuit. He was caught a second time, and put in the lockup, whre he remained for some time, being considerably under the influence of liquor. Upon being released he was placed under bond, and at the hearign this morning was fined, and warned against repeating his offence.
The officers have been instructed to arrest freely all violators of the speed ordinance.
Still Captured by Saluda Officers
On last Wednesday afternoon deputy sheriff J.F. Trexler, W.W. Owens and chief of police of Saluda, R.L. Newman, when returning from court at Columbus, discovered smoke at an unfrequented spot about 2 1/2 miles from Tryon on the Pacolet River. Upon investigation they discovered an illicit still in full operation, about 30 feet from the bed of the river. On the approach of the officers two men were seen speeding away, carrying a keg of liquor, the cap and condenser of the still. They were pursued, and the keg and condenser captured but the men got away. On returning to the still it was found to be of 30 gallon capacity, and a small quantity of whiskey and about 500 gallons of beer were seized.
The officers state that this is about the boldest act of the blockader in their experience, the plant beign within about 100 yards of the public road leading from Tryon. While no arrests were made it is very likely that both offenders will shortly be apprehended.
