George W. 'Dub' Sands was from right here in Baker County. The genius automaker has astonished mechanical colleagues for decades and staggered the imaginations of the craftiest masters. His custom-designed cars were for moonshiners. Lawmen dreaded to see his creations zoom down the road at lightning speeds and quickly dismissed any idea of attempting a road block or confrontation when they saw "it" coming. They marveled in awe as they watched "it" pass unscathed into the night.

"I helped in the home brewing since I was large enough to tote a jar of syrup to the still," he said. "I been running a liquor still since I was at least six years old. Liquor was a way of survival when I was growing up, and no one could make it taste better than my daddy.

Sands said in 1953 he once again became involved in moonshine. I liked driving the cars. A good car is just like a good saddle horse, it ain't no good if you don't have a good rider. If you don't have a good driver to take care of equipment, it ain't no good. I hauled moonshine, sometimes two loads a night, five or six times a week, or I had good drivers to take my loads for me."

"Daddy kept it buried everywhere. One time a mule fell into our well and we found several barrels in there we'd forgotten we had. I've seen the time daddy had 300 five-gallon cans of whiskey and couldn't sell it; sometimes there was a demand for it and sometimes there wasn't.

"Daddy bought the B&W Bar in Macclenny in 1936 and got rid of the bootlegging, but the boys messed with it a little bit until one or two of them got caught and spent some time in prison. Anyway, moonshining is nothing new to me, it was there as long as I can remember and we used to do it with a mule and wagon."
