During the past two weeks federal officers have captured 15 whiskey stills, 10 of these being found in Johnston County and five in the eastern part of the state. The stills ranged in size from 30 gallons to 100 gallon capacity, and more than 8,000 gallons of mash were seized and destroyed. Several gallons of whiskey were also found. No arrests have been made.
