Kinston, Oct. 25—Beaufort county prohibition sleuths are reported to have raided nine moonshine stills in two days’ time in one township. Four wrecked in one 24-hour period and five in the succeeding 24 hours. Eight of the plants were idle. All ranged in capacity from 65 to 125 gallons. A nominal quantity of the beer was poured off. No arrests were made at any of the stills. Four officers participated in the raids. The number of seizures established a record. All the plants were in close proximity to the town of Washington.
