POURED "LICKER"
INTO SEWER MAIN
Ttilrty (.aliens of Contraband IMs os
ed of (?Hi?-lulls In the Presence
of a Curious Crowd.
Thirty gallons of "good I Icker"
coursing down the sewer main of this
city is the sad tale of an official act
by Sheriff Owings and his constables
Thursday morning. 'Twas a mourn
ful spectacle to many?some cussed.
In the large crowd of bystanders there
were watery mouths galore; eyes
were widened with astonishment;
some wished they were fishes in the
waters of Little river, into which this
"oil of joy" was flowing. And to
think that Sheriff Owings could be BO
cruel. Some one?no names?sim
ply could not stand the sight, and to
"get even" with the sheriff, wrote on
one of the cases about to be opened:
"Sheriff Jno. i> Owtngs, Laurens, S.
C, express prepaid"?and then the
laugh was on the officer for bringing
out his own "jug" and destroying it
by mistake.
The thirty gallons of whiskey have
been held in the sheriffs office for
the alotted thirty days; it has been
seized, at various times, from per
sons in and around Laurens. wh" were
under suspicion of selling it. No
claim and delivery papers having been
served upon the officers, it was de
stroyed by due process of law. This
Is the first official act of this kind in
these parts in many years.
