- Well, the old mans taking it pretty good.

- Not enough to give me my share.

Oh, he will come around, give

him time. Its gotta be His way

He better hurry up!

Right now I am on my own.

- Doing what?

- Got me a job.

- You, a job?

- Yeah! and it's a good one too.

I am with the "Atlantic

coast Line Rail Road. "

We are not paying you to

take a drink every 5 minutes.

- 40 cents an hour! You call that pay?

- 10 hours a day, what more do you want?

More than 40 cents an hour.

Maybe I can push you in

with some extra money!

- You know anything about boilers?

- Boilers?

Sure I worked on boilers in the

navy. Boilers, guns, motors...

Can handle anything mechanical.

- What's you doing tonight, after supper?

- Nothing worthwhile

You are now. You are coming with me!

- Think you will find it interesting.

- Anything that's interesting, I'll find interesting.

My brother in law,

Carson. Marsh Williams.

- M. Williams.

- This is Sam Markley.

Delighted.

Boy! Some boiler you got

there. What you use that for?

Ain't you got any idea?

Still? Why didn't you say

so, it ain't no secret.

Well making stills is

considered illegal in some parts.

- What do you get for a kilo like that?

- Oh! Up to 300 bucks, for the big one.

Its nothing compared to the

dough they make out of them.

Now see, they are getting up to 20

bucks a gallon down at Fort Bragg.

- For that stuff?

- For worst stuff!

Looks like you fellows are on

the wrong end of the burner.

You wouldn't be able to get

it on the right side, will you?

Well I have never thought of it.

If I ever do, I can take the same equipment, I

can make the best corn whiskey in North Carolina.

I was in Claude Williams's bible class!

He won't hold still for no son of his

to go into blockhead whiskey business.

There ain't nothing in the

Bible against still and whiskey!

Your father is a law-abiding man. It

is Moonshine, it is against the law.

What's the difference between still and

whiskey, and making a boiler to distill it in?

Simmer down, Joe. Simmer down.

We are running behind our orders.

Don't make no difference.

I am turning out the best corn

whiskey in the state, not the most!

Well something's gotta be done. There

is a limit to what one cradle can handle.

Fix it up with another cradle.

- You figure on running 2 stills, Marsh?

- You can figure out on taking twice money home.

Marsh? I didn't hear you come in.

That's what you hear money clanking.

I just got myself another raise.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- Well it's not so much!

As much as your 3rd raise in 6

months and you say that's not much.

Pretty soon you will be the president
