trucks obwrved on the drive. They
were on the alert (or thieves who have
been operating in the area.
Two Trucks Seized
The first truck was taken on the
spot; the second, on College Street
after the driver fled at the approach of
Patrolman Royster, who was engaged
in a routine traffic check.
Billy West Jones, 37, white man,
residing at 19 First Street, Franklin
ton, was subsequently charged with
"transporting materials designed and
intended for use in manufacturing
illicit whiskey." He was released Fri
day on bond of $1,000 posted by
Joaeph W. Pearce.
The North Carolina directory of
municipal officials for 1965 lists
Joaeph W. Pearce as the Mayor of
Franklinton.
The man identified as Jones told
the officers he had experienced
trouble with the lighting of his truck
and had pulled off U. S. 15 into the
drive to make repairs. As they walked
about the truck, Brame and Thomer
son caught the unmistakable odor of
beer mash, prompting a call to police
for assistance. Lt. Arch Wilkins and
Joe Hall appeared. They also called for
ABC Chief Currin, who obtained a
search warrant before undertaking a
look inside the truck, which had a
roll-up door at the back and which was
locked.
Driver Disappears
Meanwhile, Officer Henry Royster
spotted on College Street, headed
north, between Rectory and Hays
Street, a van-type truck which stirred

bart would say only, "There are some
things in the wind that would only
have a more favorable result." He
declined to elaborate, except to add,
"Hopefully" and to say that things
"look encouraging."
It was learned that company of
ficials were surprised and delighted at
he turnout for Monday's ceremonies in
view of the downpour of rain. Com
. pany officials were also pleased with
the many things said at the luncheon
and the assurances of continued co
operation by all segments of the local
and state and national leadership, in
cluding an invitation by Congressman
L. H. Fountain to call on him when he
could "properly be of any assistance."
peared into the darkness. Royster
radioed for help.
Having at the time completed their
search of the Ford van on the south
side of town, and having placed Jones
under arrest, the party hurried to assist
Royster. Meanwhile, they had found
in the first a total of nine 285-gallon
metal tanks, from which the ends had
been cut. and which had been usecHfor
the preparation of beer for whiskey
making.
Search of the second truck, a CMC
with long wheel base, revealed its
contents to be, a 500-gallon capacity
still, a seven-foot upright boiler, two
120-gallon capacity metal doublers, a
500-gallon pre-heater with copper
worm and two mash tanks like those
carried in the other truck. In addition,
the truck contained a liquor filter
barrel, a measuring up barrel, six gal
vanized tubs, 800 pounds of grain, 10
pounds of yeast, 32 cases of fruit jars
(384), an undertermined amount of
plastic pipe and an assortment of
fittings.
Currin stated he is confident that
the still had been in operation in one
location and was being hauled to a
new one when local enforcement men
came upon It. He said he did not
believe it had been located In this
county, or that it's destination was in
this county.

Beat Wind, Chowan
The wind prevailed over
the golf course at Winton
Tuesday, but at the end of 18
holes of play, four Louisburg
golfers had hammered out
scores of 80-80-80-82 for a
322 score. Chowan's top four
medal players finished with a
total of 327 with Jay Plckus
leading the way with an 80
over the par 72 course.
The wind must have reach
ed gusts up to 30-40 miles per
hour and all the boys were
having their problem. How
ever, for Louisburg Jay
Klingle must have been the
standout. He plays the num
ber 6 position, and this
round, Jay turned in a score
of 82 to be only 2 strokes
behind the leaders.
