From Days Gone By Nov. 12, 1921

November 12, 1921.
    Last week in this county the revenue officers in a body went searching for shiners and stills and succeeded in raiding three big ones and destroying a large quantity of whiskey and materials. In the party were Messrs. J. T. Jackson, county policeman of Laurens County, prohibition officer J. M. Crowder of Dublin, one deputy sheriff of Laurens, M. L. Jackson and C. T. Mixon of Wrightsville.
    The direction of their search led towards the western end of the county and the largest haul they made was near the home of T. I. Young, about a couple miles this side of the county line up on the river. A 30 gallon copper still, neatly and adequately equipped with a good brick foundation around it. 105 gallons of beer, and a little amount of the "real article" being captured.
    The next one was near by on another plantation and is said to be the property of one Isadore Hood, colored. This was a 53 gallon gasoline drum outfit. There was also 105 gallons of mobby there which was destroyed.
    A lard can outfit was next given attention by the raiders. Some small amount of shine was on the spot. This is said to have been property of C. D. Ivans.
    Going around to another place the officers poured out a large quantity of materials which ere on the spot just vacated by the stilling outfit, it having been moved and the slowly dying fire under it being found on the arrival of the officers.
    The county agents came home with the bacon. Agents Miss Clemmie Massey and Mr. M. E. Crow took a carload of local products to Savannah last week and brought back over $400 in cash from prizes won in open competition with nine other counties.
    The next Johnson County Singing Convention will meet the 3rd Sunday at Liberty Grove. Mr. Eugene Kelley and Miss Mattie Dawson were married at the home of Mr. Carrol Lord. Miss Mollie Pullen has opened her school at Pine Grove. Prof. & Mrs. N. D. Norris had a baby boy born October 26th. Mr. Henry D. Garnto of Meeks is finishing up his nice new home.
    Misses Corinne Peddy and Laura Peacock are teaching school ar Rehobeth. Kite school opened over a month ago and have the largest enrollment ever.
    Completing a highly successful term in St. Vincent's hospital, Staten Island, New York city, Dr. Wade R. Bedingfield has returned and will enter practice here. He is the son of Dr. & Mrs. P. B. Bedingfield, one of the most prominent families in the county. His father has practiced here for many years.
    Of interest to the ladies is the announcement that in this state the male voters barely outnumber the female voters according to the census. Wrightsville ladies are on the voting list in short numbers but there are quite a fee more who are ready to put their signatures to the voting list and participate in the forthcoming municipal election.
    Warden R. M. Stanley moved the road gang from the Oconee river to across the Ohoopee and now building on the Adrian and Scott roads. Judging by the way his large gang is moving he may cover the major portion of the county in the next 12 months.
