Commissioners Order 27 Stills Destroyed, July 18, 1924

Accumulation of Stills Destroyed

The accumulation of stills, 27 in number, which had been stored in the jail yard for the past two months were destroyed last Wednesday by order of the County Board of Commissioners. Commissioner Thomas G. Taylor was on hand to see the job well done.

Most of the stills were of copper, and the total weight was more than 1,000 pounds.
