SHERIFF MAKES A
SPECTACULAR RAID
Tuesday, Sheriff H. T. Rolierson,
with the assistance of his deputies
and revenue officers made a whiskey
raid on the farm owned by Noah T.
1-eggett, just two miles west of Roh
ersonville. In the woods in front of
the Leggett home were found the re
mains of at least a dozen plants, be l
tween four and five hundred gallons
of beer andmrfeveral monkey
rum. Only- a small quantity of whis
key was kept in the house.
Tom's son, Staton Leggett, lives only
a short distance from his father and
his family got the hint that Revenue
officers were on their trail, so when
the sheriff reached his hduse, Jim
Knox, im assistant, was caught trie
cling about ninety knots an hour for
the woods with a five gallon jug of
monkey rum in each hand. In the
rUsh Knox hail managed to saturate
his clothing with the stuff' and whe.i
the officers revived from the effects
of the inhalation, they 'lidn't know
whether Knox was an anaesthetizcr
or a transporter of monkey rum. Sev
eral jugs of whiskey were found in
the home and barn of Staton Leggett.
The sheriff arrested Noah Tom Leg
gett, his two sons, Staton and Charles,
upon the charge of distilling whiskey
and arrested Jim Knox on the charge
of aiding and abetting in the making
of it. They were released under bond
in the sum of $200.00 for their ap
l»earance at the next term of Record

JUDGE DEVEREAI'X'S DEATH
The unusual circumstances connect
eil with the death of John l)c
--vereaux, who was a former North
Carolinian, has some\ connect ion with
Martin anil Bertie Counties. The Do
vcrcaux ant I Rholut* families were
very prominent in the above mention
ed counties in the early days, even
just prior to the war between the
states. These families lived in won
derful style during the ante-bellum
days, and many interesting recohls
are handed down of their achievement
and history, evidences of their having
livetl in this section are found in the
names of swiimij lands on the Roan-
Ake river; everyone is familiar with
Ihe locations of the Devereaux and
ltholac swamps.
Judge Devereaux came to his death
in a most unusual manner. He bo
came suddenly ill and was nursed by
Gpldie Gordon, u pretty artists model,
whom- Howard Chandlier Christy re
garded as Tulsa's most beautiful girl,
another woman who nursed him was
Mrs. Jesse James, both of whom arc
held in connection with the aged jur
ists death. It is reported that they
appropriated $1,200.00 from the fudge
during the ton days which: they. mi r>-_

Another.member of these prominent
families, who one# lived in this old
section, i. Dr. J. Do Rholac Hamilton,
dean of the department of history at

Hamilton, who is familiar not only
with the history of the world,' but
also the histories of Martin and Per

Hillsboro, but his paternal grand

'WEAR A POPPY' AS A
MEMORIAL TO HEROES
In keeping with a newly inaugurate
eil custom, every American is urge#
to wear a red poppy upon his or her
breast on the national Memorial Day,
May 3(1, as a mark or loyalty and res
pect for the memory of the boys who
sacraficed their lives- on the battle
fields of France during the woldr
war. v >
This is a beautiful custom, patriotic
idealistic and worthy in every re
spect:
It was in a moment of inspiration
that the late Colonel John McCrea
fixed forever in the mind of niankiml
the poppy as the sacrificial symbol of
tender respect for those who died in
the world war —a- he did."o*
His noble poem, "In Flanders -Fields
has achieved Universal popularity;
and the crimson flowers which nod be
tween rows of crosses in the soldier
cemeteries of Northern Fiance have
been brought home to lis as the approi
ate token of the blood and the peace
ful sleep of the heroes who gave all
for civilization and human liberty.
In its annual convention at ('leva
land, Ohio last fall the American
gave formal acknowledgement
of the fitness of this Symbol by offi
cially adopting the red poppy as the
memorial flower of the organization,
to be worn by legionnaires everywhere
on Memorial Day in silent tribute to
their dead comrades.
Other patriotic organizations and
societies, notable among them being
the Daughters of the American Hevolu
tion, have officially taken similar act
ion. -- • - - u »
The "poppy resolution" that was a
dupted —by—the—Cleveland -eonvention
wus introduced by the legion delegat
ion from Georgia.
The resoJution had previously been
adrtpted by the Georgia state convent
ion at Augusta, last rfummer, through'
the efforts of Miss Moina Michael, of
Athens, whose poem in answer to the
query expressed in Colonel MeCrea's
masterpiece has been generally recoir
nireil a? being ait* 't.c the be-t. if not
•he l.fst, of many such poems that
have been' publised.
Only one change was made by the
national convention. Inst end .of- fixing
Armistice Day—which is essentially a
day of thanksgiving and rejoicing—
for the wearing of the poppy, as pro
vided in the original resolution, the
rfWeland convention specified that th
Flanders flower be wnrii on Memorial,
or Decoration day, when the
brance of our heroic dead is called to
the mind of the entire nation.
Therefore it is urgently suggested
that on May 30 all patriotic citizens
shall wear a poppy.
No matter whether formal obser
vance of the day is planned, or wheth
-«'P such- observance may lutve been
held on our Confederate Memorial Day"
a poppy in the buttonhole will bear
witness to the hallowed memory in
which our recently fellen hcores is
held, and will connect up to the wear
er with Americans everywhere in a
universal expression of gratitude and
veneration.
Millions of silk poppies have been
made during the last year by the wai
orphans and widows of France to be
sent to America for this occasion.
The very life blood of Flanders
fields ha\e gone into .their manufact
ure and they will be distributed here
through the American-Franco Chil
dren's league and the proceeds return
ed to France to benefit those who
made them.
It would be in the nature of a noble
and patriotic expression if every
Georgian and every American every
where were to wear a ,red poppy on
May 30.
Those wishing to buy these silk
poppies for ten cents each can place
their order for one dozen with Mrs.
Sallie A. Biggs, Mrs. A. R. Dunning or
at The Enterprise office. Proceeds
will go to the French war widows,
and orphans.
GOOD ROADS MEETING

THE BAPTIST CHURCH
CLOSES ITS MEETING
The series of meetings 'which have I
been held in the aptist Bchurch durf
ing the pa.-t week came,to a close t/i
Wednesday evening. The Rev. L. U.
Pruette, who is well known through
out Hit Baptist world in North Caro
lina, and who has been, pastor of one
church iu Charlotte for twenty-seven
years, proved himself to-be a most
elot.ucnt and effective speaker. His
..ermons were masterpieces of diction,
and lie told the stories of the Christian
luitli in a most forceful ami charming
manner. All of his discourses were
up to bin high standard, but*it is
lieved that his sermons on "the Story
of the Cross," "Love?" and "How We
May Know Wo Saved," were the
most impressive.
* Mr. Pruet te is a IK) rn easterner, but
has livetl ill the other section of
No is h Carolina all his life and great
ly complimented the hospitality of
our ection. Every day he was a guest
for meals in different" homes, thereby
getting in close touch with his peo
ple, and he often remarked that* he
believed Williamston was the most hos
pliable town he had ever visited.
It is believed that the visit of Mr.
Pruette to Williamston will be of much
benefit, he dul not claim to be a pro
fessional evangeljst, with cyclone
methods of getting people into the
church,' but simply a minister of the
tiospel who preached to the people the
doctrines as taught by Jesus Chtist.
as found in the llible. Several add!
lions to the church were had during
Ids \i itatlon, and those who heart!
him were much impressed with his
great, sincerity.

AN ANSWER TO GERMAN
PROFESSOR'S THEORY
Sir. W. C. Manning,
Dear Sir:—
I was astonished and grieved to see
u. the Enterprise of May 17th, a se
lection headed "No Rainbow after De
luge." Tlr. Paul Haupt, a German
Inlidul, Professor of the Semitic lan
guages in John Hopkins I Diversity,
is trie compiler of the I'lychome or
rainbow or Many-Colored iiible, which
vainly pretends to do with manuscript
written i nour own time, that is to
distinguish tile authorship of portion.-,
of a narrative written by different
"persons. In this monstrous so-called
Hible, lie puts in different color pas
sages supposed by the self-styled
"Higher Critics," to have been writ
ten by different persons in different
ages, thus denying the authorship of
the books of the llible b> the inspired
penmen whose names they bear, and |
assigned that authorship to later, un
known and uninspired men, and set
ting aside the Uible as an infallible
revelation from Cod. He puts in dif
ferent colors, not only verbis in the
same chapter but even clauses in the
same verse. No sensible or honest
man believes any book was ever so
composed.
In Genesis IX:lit the word rendered
"bow" is, in the Hebrew, (Jesheth,
which is defined in all Hebrew-Eng
lish lexicons, "born," and in the old
est 'Creek' translation (the Jieptue
giiit l made in the third century before
Christ, the Greek word is toxoh, ren
dered by the Greek-English lexicons,
"bow," Mr. Haupt admits that "bow"
is the word in the Babylonian tablet;
but thinks it ought to be rendered
"rh brush," because he finds fly-brush
Trr tlie pagan tablet and because-huge,
feather brushes were used by the old
Assyrian and Egyptian rulers, and the
pagan tablet says that "When lster
sees the Gods gather around the of
feror likea -warm of, flics (because
thero had been no offerings during
the ffood), she is so incensed that she
takes the lly-brushes of her father,
Ahn, kiiiK of the gods, to drive uwa)
the gods." The professor thtlfc de
liberately prefers to the polytheistic,
j false and outrageous account of the
deluge and the rainbow to the mono
theistic, true ami sublime account giv
en by Moses, the inspired servant of
God! I am sure (that the people of
WilliaiustOn, Martin county and North
Carolina .incomparably prefer the
word of the true and living God to
the wolds of ignorant, heathen idol
aters. There is but one God, and He
is the eternal and Almighty Creator
and 'Ruler of the universe and the
Old and New, Testaments are His
written and infallible Word.

ITS FIVE DAYS STAY
HERE ON SATURDAY
The Swarthmore Chautauquu which
so highly pleased oar people last year
will begin its second engagement in
W illiumstun tomorrow. The program
lust year was most pleasing, so much
so that the guarantors for this sea
son were easily gotten, ami we feel
sure they will be paid for the bene
fit which the town will receive from
uu educational, moral and religious
point of view.
This is the tenth season of the
Swarthmore Chautauqua, and each
year it seems to have grown better;
each year it has drawn larger crowds,
ami has been of much real benefit to
the communities it has visited. There
are tiurty-l'our town in North Caro
lina iti tiie association which j>£tfves
thr.t it is popular with our people.
The program promises to be one of
appealing interest, there will be some
features attractive to every oae, some
serious subjects will be discussed,
some of a lighter vein, and every at
traction is sure to be of benefit to
some one of this community. Una of
the most valuable features of the week
will be the lecture by Arthur Daugh
erty Bees, of the University of Penn
sylvania, on "How History Today
Make* the World of Tomorrow." The
Mendelssohn Orchestral Club is an
other attraction which it* sure to
please. The leader of this musical
organization is Howard Evarts, the
llulist, formerly of Lnnes band. The
supporting members are all musicians
of great merit. The Comedy Drftma,
"Nothing liut the Truth," promises to
be an attraction which will rival the
marvelous stage effects produced by
the internationally known belascoTTT
bubbles over with laughs, jn.d it is
even better than last year's success,
"It Pays To Advertise," which so
much pleased our people. The "Magic
Circle)" is the lecture which Walfred
Lindstrom will deliver. Mr. Lindstrom
was chaplain of the 32nd Division of
the American forces in France, was
gassed, spent six months in a hos
pital and his lecture is sure to be of
vital interest and fascination to all
who hear him. The Irish Minstrels
is a group of entertainers who arc
sure to please. They endeavor to give
selections of Irish song and wit which
will charm all lovers of folk lore of
the Emerald Isle. The Clarke Con
certs Party is another organization
which must be of merit. Mr, Clarke
is a pupil of the great Jean de lieszke,
with whom all music, lovers are ac
quainted. He is said to have a tech
nique of a musician who is the soul
of charm. The Junior Holidays Party
for the children is sure to find a hearty
response in the hearts of the little
ones. All of the children of the town
will he invited to take part, and of
course that will-draw -the older ones,
for each person is interested in sortie
child; in fact the program advertises
the afternoon as being for the ciiil
dren form six to sixty, and after all,
all of us are but children grown u.i
an dreally have within our hearts !, ■
spirit of childhood.
The Dunbar Male Quartette is an
other attraction on the program, anil
fro mthe good looks of the young men
who compose we are sure the au
dience will he filled with admiring
feminfhity for the occasion.
The Chautauqua promises much
tloasure and entertainment and bene
fit to our town and every one should
at once acquaint himself with the
guarantors and procure seats for the
entire performances. There should not
be a spirit existing to wait for some
one to give tickets away but every cit
izen of the town should lend his coop
eration towurds the success of the
Chautauqua.
