Since the recent Grand Jury in- | vestigation in which several persons served jail sentences for whiskey and slot machine violations most of our bootleggers have been pretty careful, they are still quietly selling wluskey but few. if any. of those under indictment have brought out slot machines again.However, the slot machines are out again at the place formerly known at Pete McLean’s place, on highway 51, north of Pickens. Just who is operating this joint we could not say.Also, slot machines are out at the place once operated, (if not now) by Bd Weems son, just this side of Cruger. !Tne place operated on highway 51,; south of Goodman, on the right h.-mti jide of the road going south, by Tiliman Branch, is a disgrace to Holmes county. This place is run as a night spot” catering to colored trade. V. h-ikey and slot machines in full operation are reported there and a crap game i3 held from time to time.These places need cleaning up now. Mr. Sheriff.*.*lt; Km mncc
