M. Davis was a happy man when he drove in town last: night after a long ride into the moonshiner district of the Little Brushey moun tains.

For the past twelve months Mr cap- Da via has been trying to locate a large still and outfit that has been doing business near where the lines of Wilkes. Alexander and Iredell counties come to corners, but during! these long twelve months all his effortf had been in vain, i The moonshiners Would always hear through their spies when the officer of officers were in the community and they would remove the still and fixtures Into some secluded spot a cave or a dense thicket The officer would find where the still and plant had been, but' Could never locate it He knew that It was an unus illy i large still to be used by blockaders and was determined! that he would get It soone.

or later. -Yesterday he took another i trip the section wtiere he knew the owners of teh plant would be apt to be operating it or where they had it and his efforts and search for was rewarded. When he made his appearance In the neighborhood. Mr. Davis was saluted by volleys tfrom the guns of the spies of the blockaders who fare kept at points all through the mountains.

Mr. Davis knew that when; these spies fired the signals the moonshiners at the etiii would hide the still and fixtures and "skldoo," and he hurried to the point on ihe branch In the valley where he expected i to find the plant. The guns continued to fire and the officer continued to Ignore them. Finally he reached the place where tha still had been In operation, but the still proper was gone. The officer noticed some eoot fromi the still on a bush nearby and following the trail of the soot which had rubbed from the part of the still which had! been next to the fire, he traced it I to a dense thicket about 300 yards! from the site of the plant He Immediately Jumped on it and cut it to pieces with his hatchet Tha large arm of the still, which is th part through which the slop is drained the still, was cut off by the officer and brought to town just as the foxjj hunter cuts the foot from the fox; and brings it home.

Davisr State organizer of the Anti-Saloon league, had concluded his earnest speech and called upon those in the audience who would vote for or favor prohibition (as many women were present) to stand, every person in the audience, man. Woman and child, stood up, and it was with spirit of the victorious kind that they sang "Raleigh' 'Crownln- the chorus of Vhlch rang out: the "happy day is coming. Is coming by and by. When our honor-loving citizens shall set. the right on high, -O, the glorious sUht will gladden each waiting, watchful eye, On Thursday after Christmas by and The spirit and enthusiasm of this meeting proved conclusively that there is more unity of interest and harmony of conviction among the people In the great prohibition: movement than ever before.

Several persons in the audience roke briefly, using telling arguments tor the abolition of the Institution dispensing death liquid, and denouncing those agencies In the city that profess to be for prohibition and that are assisting the dispensary advocates. One of those who spoke Informally at the Baptist Tabernacle was Mr. Jo. IL 'Wfeathers, who. In a thrilling speech, voiced the Indignation of the Christian people of the city, at what he said was the attitude of the Raleigh Evening Times toward the prohibition campaign.

I It is pleasing to the prohibition people of the city to know that Mayor Johnson Is taking an active and leading part in the campaign.

In his speech before the voters at the meeting in Jenkins Memorial chapel-last night he declared that he was proud of the opportunity to stand up and declare himself for prohibition in Raleigh. It has been only six months, he said, since the people of Brooklyn were made a part of Raleigh, and he showed them the great privilege they so soon had for helping their city. He said he was sorry that there are certain city officers and other citizens who favor the dlspensarv and will support it In answer to statement of those who claim that the city cannot afford to let the revenues from, the dispensary be lost to the city he said that so far as that was concerned if the dispensary should yield a pile of gold: as high as the church he would not be willing to keep it and let it continue to degrade' and debauch the city.

"I love Raleigh. I love her people he said, "and that is the reason why I want this terrible stream of death flowing from dispensary cut off. It Is my horr prayer that my; friends in Raleigh will join me next Thursday and cast their votes -for prohibition Mr. Broughton spoke of the effect of the dispensary upon the people of Raleigh, upon the surrounding counties, upon prohibition territory and upon the future of the State. He answered the arguments that are being used by the opposition, especially those In regard to the schools, the increase in taxes and blind tigers.

He spoke with great force and effect Mr. Davis. Davis in his address, pictured the dispensary as it is. In his discourse he said in part: "I want to draw you a pen picture of Raleigh. Our Lord said "by their fruits you shall know them.
