FROM THE ARCHIVES: This 1920s photo of a moonshine still was taken in an area behind the Seminary Hill property of James A. and Mary A. Smith. James E. Smith, their son, took this photo when the moonshiner was away. It was obviously taken prior to the end of Prohibition. The moonshiner once explained to the Smiths that he didn't consider himself an outlaw but rather a man with a skill — providing a product that was in demand. He said his moonshine was considered "the best by working folk and the Who's Who of Centralia." — Information and photo originally submitted by James E. Smith for Our Hometowns.
