1 VOLUME XXXVI. NEWS FROM THE VICINITY OF DEEP GAP Mr. Karl G. Cook, the forest warden was down here last Saturday up-1 cn his official duties. The forests have ! needed protection for years and we believe Mr. Cook will mak an efficient warden. The school bus of the Consolidated School of Deep Gap had a minor accident when Mr. Grant Greene, a stuMft dent swayed to the road bank and turned the bus upon its side. He says that he heard some kind of noise from the rear and turned his head to |S look when the car ran for several sag- jffcet aionj? a ditch line until the front wheels took a start up the bank and ggk before h" could jaret it under control j|y| it toppled over. No one was hurt ex cept Master Ernest Greene, a pupil of the school, who received a bruise >V* and p small cut above one of his eyes. The bus was not damaged except some glass windows were broken on the side that fell against the road. The writer helped raise the bus and it was a freakish sight to see and meet the stranded children all along S the road that morning when we wont to the scene of the little mishap. News has reached this section of the death of "Rum" Church a well I known musician and ringer. Hi' was struck dow nat Kannapoiis by a ear ft driven by a party from Ohio on route to Florida. Death was instantaneous, his neck being broken twice It is reported that some thief look the dead man's automobile and fled just as soon as he expired. Mr. Church was a well known man to many Wutaut guns as he often came ever here in ijuc. t of business, lie was elling optica! goods when killed. The writer has installed a radio set and has been listening in to the various programs at Chicago, Cine?n(?tti. Atlanta. Washington and Miami. We recently heard Secretary of Commerce Hoover deliver his wonderful speech on radio from Washington. J 1 he Secretary of Commerce said > that there were over six hundred radio broadcasting stations and more than twentv five million listeners in the United States. Radio is only four years old and getting better every day. Within the next five years radio ?? will he so much improved that every farm home will and should put one Eft in for the information alone they will S|v recei ve. Deputy Sheriff .i. K. Welch and bR his assistant.- Messrs Albert Hampton En and Russell Triveti last week raided fjS along the Watauga-Wilkes line and located two illicit stills and destroyed about one hundred gallons of malt beer and sugar. The party divided up Kg when near the scene of the supposed operations, Mr. Welch taking h?.< way Wi up a stream and the others taking their- up another with a mountain as the dividing line between them. Welch had not been gone for more than ten minutes hen Hampton and Sfc Triveit spied a pair of overalls dan@gj giing from some hushes. Hampton said to Trivett.: "Be still for I think filt I see a man." Kach one stood still in their tracks watting for it to move. |.f*ui u oriiy seeraea to aanjfie m tut air. Thfiy took another peep and saw a small tin cup hooked to a twig or ^ the hush. By moving around a iittlt they saw the still sitting on the fur n&ce filled to the brim with beer sugar malt, concentrated lye, etc A? ter waiting for several hours no on* came to the still to operate, so thej signalled to Deputy Welch to conn on to them as they had found theii prize. The Deputy failed t.? get thei signals, as he was about a mile swa] on another stream hot on a fresh trai of much travel and worn by foot prints. Hampton and Trivett decided no to wait any longer and made quic destruction of the outfit by cuttini it down and destroying every-thin in the camp. After completing th job they started out to locate th Deputy Behold it was then they hear his signal from the mountain top si* -nifying that he had also found prize. They hastened up to the*D< puty to find that his signal was tru Mr. Welch had also located a ca\ with beer, sugar, malt and concei trated lye, and a hidden still soon 1 go on the furnace aghin. All th was immediately destroyed. Depu Welch says that if you want him tv get the stills or destroy them just 1 him have a true report.
