(VPD -Information from a usually neat family man who lived like bum for 4ls months led to the RSCHMAN'S TODAY! DROP WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING! Lane Tables Take Your Pick! Reclining Chair In Naugahyde! Double-Door Cedar Robe! 7-Pc. Duchess Dinette Set! arrests Friday of persons on moonshining charges in the South Carolina low country. Dave Sellers, 33, an Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Unit agent from Jacksonville, moved to this coastal town in early November as an undercover man.

T. Ray of Charleston, area supervisor for the ATU, said Sellers' findings produced the evidence needed for the three-county crackdowns. Ray said the raids probably wiped out big-time moonshining in Colleton, Hampton and Jasper Counties, the area between Charleston and Savannah. Agents set out before daybreak to homes of suspects. One of the first men arrested was Harry Morgan, a former professional engineer and graduate of Eton College who lives alone in a farm house near Hardeeville, The 6-foot-8 Morgan was roused from his bed by three agents banging on his door.

"We're federal agents," ha was told. "I figured as much," he answered. The agents quickly destroyed 19 gallons of moonshine found in Morgan's house. Morgan told a UPI newsman who accompanied the agents that he sold the stuff for $6 a gallon, making $2 profit on each. Asked whether he drank it, Morgan replied, "Hello no." The ATU said Morgan and the 17 other persons named in warrants had sold moonshine to Sellers, who frequented beer joints and low-class cafes in the low country for weeks.

"That undercover guy did a good job," Morgan remarked. At the start of the raids Sellers looked like he had for the past few months seedy, with long sideburns, dirty hair, cheap work clothes and in bad need of a shave. At mid-day, his work completed, he shaved, got his first haircut in months and donned a suit. A former deputy sheriff in Jacksonville, Sellers saw his wife and children in the Florida city "very seldom" during his undercover duty. Sellers purchased 1,000 gallons of moonshine in the three-county area while posing as a middleman.

The ATU said this much taxed whiskey would have meant $10,000 to the government. Warrants were issued for the arrests of 18 persons. Fourteen were taken in, and agents said 50 29 27 28 Yes, Choose from several different styles of tables, all by lane. You choose from the coffee, step or commodes.
