Smokehouse Robbers
On Job in Watauga
It seems that robberies are on
the increase in Watauga. Tuesday
night thieves entered the smoke
house- of Watt H. Gragg in Boone,
and took therefrom nearly all the
meat of two good hogs along with
f*ve or more bushels of corn. No
trace of the marauders has yet
been found, although local police
have been on the job during the
day (Wednesday).
Mr. Gragg is of the opinion that
outsiders are responsible for the
theft, and are disposing of their
ill-gotten goods in markets below
the mountain, in the event his conclusions
are correct, chances are
that the thieves will never be apprehended.
In other words, its
"good-bye, ham."

IFOR MURDER 0FS.E
i MANSLAUGHTER V!
! Seawell C. Webster, who shot an
j killed Ed S. Day, former Wataug
I man, in Wilkesboro on October 2
last, was convicted of manslaughtc
in Wilkes Superior Court Saturda
and sentenced to serve not less tha
five nor more than seven years i
State Penitentiary. The jury delit
erated more than twenty-four hour
before bringing in a verdict thin
closed one of the most sensations
trials ever held in Wilkes County.
The jury's verdict was manslaugh
ter. the lesser of three possible vei
diets, as counsel for the State ha
sought to bring about conviction o
first-degree murder charge. Judg
Michael Schenck, in commenting ui
on the verdict, stated that in vie^
of mitigating circumstances the jur
was justified in bringing in a verdic
of manslaughter and -could in n
manner be criticised.
Counsel for the defendant hav
indicated an appeal from the verdic
and appearance bond lias been se
at $3,000. It is believed, howevei
that Webster will take the sentenc
meted out to him by the court, i
view of the State's efforts to con
vict on a fivst or second-degree mui
der charge.
Sensational Evidence
Shaking the State's first-degre
charge fiercely under gruelling cros
examinations of its star witnesses, th
defense early indicated its effort t
seek acquittal or at the most man
slaughter. With the way opened b
| the insanity plea for what would oth
i ei wise have been excluded as wlioll;
j collateral matter, the defense heape
I up testimony to show that Webster'
home had been invaded by Day; tha
his step-daughter, whose virtue ha
neon proven in the face of a divore
charge, had been led astray by th
deceased married man; that the lif
of Webster had also been threatened

SOME PROOF

this territory? Well, listen . to
this:
For three weeks s small advertisement
calling the farmers* attention
to the agricultural limestone
offered for sale by Meant
orwincr* o? C'iuuus, T?aD., appeared
in The Watauga Democrat.
Through an error, the yrios of
the limestone was omitted from
the advertisement.
Until just the other day Mount
Brothers had mailed over three
hundred letters to farmers in tins
territory in answer to iluii guor
ias concerning the pics of the
limestone advertised. In this
week's issue you'll find another
adrertiscment giving prices andfurther
details run over the name
of Mount Brothers. Does advertising
pay? Does Tie -Democrat
reach the farmers? Wo'O say so!
