Salisbury, Sept. 12—Property appraised at about $30,000 was seized by the prohibition agents in North Carolina during the month of August, according to the report of Director Coltrane. Included in this property are eight automobiles.
There were 548 gallons of liquor and 68,790 gallons of beer, which would have been distilled into liquor, destroyed. About eight to 10 gallons of beer distilled into a gallon of whiskey, it was explained. Ninety-three stills were captured “red-handed” and these with other arrested from evidence secured resulted in 167 prosecutions.
