tlKU was a deputy sheriff under (

wus Chief of Police in Kings Mountain
in 191& and, 1919 also served
some years before and some since. '
Were you ever shot at Mr, Rhodes?
Yes. I was raiding a still nearb} <
and we found a lone negro there. He
shot at ine but missed. The still was
ou the old! Stroupe place. It was not
a very large outfit, ,
We never did have many bad
scrapes in town and when we did
we just knocked the fellows down
uud dragged them to jail. We had a
bue uniform, badge, brass buttons,
but no official hat or cap. We carrif.d
a Distol. billv and handcuffs, these
ihiee were seldom used as we hand
< .led the culprits otherwise. We usurlly
had no trouble taking a man to
joii until we got him to the old.lhr_
fry (table, where Ware and Falls
Motor Co. now stands. He would
know then that we meant business
and would start to buck.
- There was a. bad killing here
while I was on the force. A negro
was shot and an abandoned car waS
