ANOTHER STILL IS
TAKEN ON MONDAY;
Cottrell, Ayscue and Jack-!
son Make Seizure, But no
Arrest Follows.
Another illicit whisky still was de
stroyed Monday, E. A. Cottrell, ABC
enforcement officer for the county,
reported today. He was assisted by
Constables Spurgeon Ayscue of Sandy
Creek and Jerome Jackson of Middle
burg townships.
The still, located about half a mile
off the Dabney road, just west of the
city, and on a small stream, was of
about 50 gallons capacity, Mr. Cot
trell reported today. It was cut up
and destroyed, and some four barrels
of beer mash poured out. Appear -
j ances about the still indicated it had
! been in operation as late as Sunday,
the officer said.
Cottrell has been very active since
he took up his duties with the ABC
board as enforcement officer, and
has made a number of seizures and
arrests and destroyed stills in several
parts of the county.
The officer complained of the ac
tion of juries in acquitting men ar
rested and accused of handling liquor
expressing the conviction that there
is just as much law for conviction
now as there ever was, and that
much of his work was nullified
when men taken are freed.
Several men who have been arrest
ed in raids are now awaiting jury
trials in the lower courts of the coun
ty, and will be given hearings early
in January.

SAYS WORLD MUSI
GET BACK TO GOD
He Is Ready to Blot Out Sin
When Called on, Rev. R.
E. Brown Says
The world must get back to God
and depend upon him if it i.s to make
any real headway toward happiness
and hotter living, Rev. R. E. Brown,
the pastor, said in his sermon at the
First Methodist church Sunday morn
ing.
The preacher took a text from the
j -13 rd chapter of Isaiah’s prophecy as
i the basis for his sermon, and said the
; Scripture gave four indictments of
I the people of the times, and declared
| the same indictment applies in the
I modern 20th century era.
One of the indictments from God
{ was that the people had not called on
him and bad forgotten to pray. An
other was that they had not brought
i their offerings and sacrifices. A third
was that they had left off doing the
things they ought to have done and
the things not done are those which
starve the soul. The people, in the
fourth place, said the minister, have
made God “put up with” their sins
until he cries out, "I am weary of
your sins.”
Three kinds of sinners were outlin
ed, first those who boast they have
done every sin the category; second,
those who sin every day, and lastly,
those who have sinned and never
thought they were doing anything
wrong.
"God will forget we have sinned if
we ask for forgiveness,” saidd Mr.
Brown. “The heavenly father is not
like an earthly father. He' will blot
out our transgressions and remember
them no more.”
