Cameron Morrison received
and accepted the resignation of
Colonel A.D. Watts, State Com

ed Representative R. A Dough tan
of Alleghany County, to succeed1 to
the office, it was announced at the
Governor's office late today.. ;
; The announcement of the resig
nation of Colonel Watta was made
fnllnwinir flio issimnrft nf a wurrnnt
this afternoon by local police auth
orities charging him with a statutory
off cnte, which followed a police raid
upon his rooms.
A ' 'f -i t''9lre tr.-
signed and that Mr. Doughton had
been appointed to succccd him ho
other statement was given out at
the Governor's office Tate today.
Colonel Watts' resignation was
contained in a letter of only ten
words, reading;;
"I: herewith Ijand you my resign
nation to become effective immedi
ately." ,
The Govenor is said to have act
ed on the resignation a short time
after it was received. '
Mr. Watts, known throughout
the State in political circles. Was
appointed to the position of com'
missioner of revenue by "Governor
Morrison when the latter came into
office .two years ago. He and Gov
amor Morrison are said to have
long been personal and political
friends. . ,
Mr. Doughton has served in the
General Assembly for more than 25
years at one time or another. He
is recognised as majority leader in
the House and was one of the
strongest supporters of road build
ing measures. . He is now chairman
of the House Finance Committee
It is expected his appointment will
be sent to the Legislatflre tonight
for confirmation.
Important Whis
key Raid By
, Officers.
Notwithstanding the i n c 1 e-
ment weather on Tuesday the
30th of the month the officers
were on their duty and made
one of the most important raids
in years. Prohibition officers
Rector, Moff ett and Grant with
Sheriff R. R. Ramsey, and De
puties Lawson and Rector went
to Paint Rock arriving about 8
o'clock in the morning and leav
ing their machines took to the
woods afld found about eight
miles from Paint Rock near the
Tennessee Carolina line one of
the most complete out-fits cap
tured in years. The still was in
a house made of split logs, and
slated covered and very com
ortable. Inside the officers found
a furnace built of brick very up
to date." Near the house was
bund the still made of copper,
and of a capacity of 100 gallons.
There were twelve f ermenters
that would have held 300 gal-
ons of liquor. : The house of
Gum Shelton vwas visited and
14 whiskey barrels were found
holding if full from five to 40
gallons each. These had just
been emptied and without doubt
carried away. Near Shelton's
house were found a still much
small and worms and cap. Not
only had Shelton these barrels
but rjumy other containers were
'otml AM&ttlcr destroy
ed and ap up. Gum Shelton
was arrested as owner of the
still. " ;;;,-
The plant is said to be the
argest taken since the time of
the government Mill and old of-
icers say it is one of the most
complete as to size and out-fit
that has been taken.
Evidently the capture is most
important as on account of its
size it has furnished! a great deal
of the liquor which has gone out
of the county. That nothing was
eft not even the hotnseis to im
portant as it will talte away the
source of the troubld The citi
zens of the county should get
back of the officers who are do
ing their duty even at a great
cost of time and hrjdships and
if they cooperate 'frith the of
ficers will rid the (iounty of the
