MORE ABOUT 5 Officers (Continued Irom race 1) They turned around and followed the car which went out Smathers Street towards Hazelwood. As the patrol car got within 75 yards of the fleeing car, a bullet from a high powered gun crashed through the windshield of the patrol car, miss ing driver Murrlll by an Inch or so, and broke out the entire back window of the car. Patrolman Murrlll only got to take' one shot at the fleeing car. , v , He radioed other officers of the direction of the fleeing car. and six cars set up road blocks from Hazelwood to Pleasant Balsam church, as the fleeing car was on the Hyatt Creek road. A block was also set up at Dayton Rubber, and at Balsam. The officers, then in contact with one another by radio, moved in towards the top of the moun- ' -tain, v . There they found the abandoned car, with a .22 Hornet rifle. ; No liquor was found in the1 car,, or the trailer. C- ,V-V::t . 'V- The car was brought to police headquarters where SBI - agent Kitchen ! made numerous ' finger prints for use In the Investigation, Officers continued in the area, and checked the name of the per son owning the car, and began making plans for further search. Members of the Waynesville po nce department, under Chief Or vllle Noland, deputies from the sheriff's department, under Deputy McDaniel, and Patrolmen under CpL John L. Carpenter, together with Sheriff Griffin Middleton of Jackson and deputies, studied plans for further search. The officers knew the layout of the area around the Smith house, and began mak ing plans for the raid. - ' About 10:30 a. m. Sunday, Jack son County Sheriff Griffin Middle ton and State Highway Patrol Cpl. John L. Carpenter of Wavnesville were making an inquiry in the vi cinity of the Smith home. This was at a point between Waynesville and Sylva, a few miles west of Balsam Mountain. Several persons were being ques tioned when one of them pointed to a man approaching and said "there comes one of the Smith boys now." It proved to be a person they all identified as Oliver and he was , taken into cutsody by the tw6 offl cers. - . . ;. , Carpenter said Oliver told them he was on his way to report his car had been stolen the night be I fore. This was the same car pur sued and abandoned several hours ' before, patrolmen said. ' In the afternoon a rendezvous was agree upon near the Haywood Jackson line where plans were laid - to attempt to catch Jerry Smith at his home, several miles back in the . hills. Deputies and patrolmen spilt into two groups, one of which plan ned to approach the house from the back and the other from the front. , ' . - The H-hour to close in on the house was set at 3:15 p. m. One group took a long route around to come in behind the house and the . other a more direct 'route to the ; front. At exactly 3:15 p. m. both groups closed in and the younger Smith was taken prisoner within a matter of seconds without a shot being fired. -: -: Officers went up to old Hood road in Jeeps, and then fanned out as they approached the house. It ' was while going through the woods fn Tinner thsf OPT'S' 'SCT05S1 two stills. It is on this evidence that Vick Smith, father of the two boys, is being held in the Jackson jail. Jerry Is in the Haywood jail here, and Oliver in the Swain Jail In Bryson City. Officers were armed with shot guns, rifles, Thompson sub-machine guns, revolvers and carbines. At the house officers seized two shotguns, a ,22-caliber rifle, a 30.06- caliber rifle and a ,45-caliber re volver as welt as ammunition. The records show that Jerry Smtih had gotten out of prison on December 12, after serving a 6 month sentence for assault. He was tried in the July term of court Practically every officer went to work early Saturday morning, and stayed on the job until after dark Sunday night. They stayed on the job until after dark Sunday night. They were tired, and almost ex hausted, but would not give up the search. The three deputies who were fired upon first, in discussing the shooting, pointed out the bullets started flying so fast, and so un expected, that they did not have MORE ABOUT Governor (Continued from Fae 1 sical equipment of our churches," he declared, "is a fine thing something that should be done throughout the nation, the state of North Carolina, In every county."

One major point the three win ning communities had in common was the Improvement of their churches a factor which weighed hnvlly in the final judging. Other leading factors which help ed the winners: Ratcliffe Cove a mall box with the name of the owner clearly ia scribed was erected before every home in the community. : Major improvements were made in 87 homes." Signs were built at every road. Iron Duff eight new Grade A dairies were erected, mall boxes and road signs were put up. White Oak most of this xom munity's homes received major int provements. In all these communities, besides the major Improvements made, new home appliances were added. Community-wide cooperation and the participation of virtually every resident in the improvement pro gram counted heavily in the final judging. White Oak collected valuable points by winning the Community Development Program Field Day last summer.1 A large part of the final score in this came through its heavy representation both among spectators and athletes. The quality and quantity of the individual community reports also carried heavy weight in the final analysis. All of these were excellent, said Assistant County Agent- Turner Cathey, supervisor of the program, following the meeting. Beef Cattle School Leaders V it-- A 4 i. The Mountaineer said.

V 1 1 At the Jarvls Caldwell modern dairy barn, the citizens had steam ing hot coffee for the group, and since the motorcade was still a few minutes ahead of schedule, the extra time was spent in drinking coffee. Iron Duff had a large dele gation out to meet the party, and Grover C. Davis, acted as. spokes man, telling the Governor about the community. On the reverse side of the huge sign, was the statement: "Kerr Scott, a Great Governor for All People." The governor read the words, smiled and commented on the graciousness of the Iron Duff citizens, then quipped: "I would like for some people down east to see that sign, they don't think I have any friends up here." On the road up Jonathan Creek to Waynesville, Governor Scott was impressed with the many large herds of beef cattle on pasture. As the party rolled to a stop in front of the court house, the 65 piece high school band struck up a lively number of tunes, and the governor commented: "They do everything here this is certainly fine." fs t I mm Would Ton two lii tTi Board ... i DR.

At the same time, the meeting itself, larger than the one that filled the room during the third annual Tobacco Harvest Festival, registered approval for the gov ernor. This was reflected in District Highway Commissioner Dale Thrash's reference to the 1948 gu bernatorial primary compared to the county's voting record in the June election on Scott's rural road and school building program.
