Mr. P.L. Wood, Deputy Sheriff of Cleveland township, captured a first-class home-made still last Friday on Mrs. A. Gower’s land near Swift Creek. A tin tup was used in the still’s make-up, but the copper worm was without a seam in it, and was declared by the authorities to be the finest specimen they ever inspected. Two gallons of whiskey and six barrels of beer were destroyed by those making the raid, and the outfit itself was brought to the sheriff’s office here.
The operators were not “at home,” and no arrests were made that night.
