While One Man Got Away A twenty-five gallon still was tak en by Sheriff I). M. Birchfield and Deputy George Crawford sixvor sev en miles north of Murphy on one of the tributaries of Owl Creek Wed nesday. The complete outfit was captured and one barrel and several containers full of beer were destroy ed. The officers acted on a tip and found that the still had been in operation and was ready to begin operation again. It was located some distance from the branch and about 200 \ards from the home of one Arvel rvephart. Indications >!icmcd that the water used in the manufacture of the illicit spirits was carried from a spring, also used by the Kepharts. No arrests were made, but are ex pected momentarily, as the officers went to the house and found no one at home. Sunday afternoon Sheriff Birch field and George Crawford and Wil lard Cooper accosted three men in a Chevrolet on No. 10 just above the county home. The men jumped from the car a*>d made their get lwav across Valley River. A search of the car disclosed three gallons of whiskey. The officers recognized the men as being Everett Voyles, Will Cooper of Graham County and John Voyles. The two \oyles are from Cherokee County. Everett Voyles and Cooper were later ap prehended, but the other Voyles is still at large. At a preliminary hearing Voyles made bond in the sum of $250.00 for his appearance at the August term .of* Superior court. Cooper made bond for his appearance at a j preliminary hearing to be held Sat urday. COUPLE HELD I IN CHEROKEE JAIL CONFESS1 Make Clean Breast of Robberies and \ Lot of Stolen Goods Found | and Returned /<? Owners The young couple whom officers apprehended sometime ago cherged with breaking into and robbing the X. W. Abernathy store at Marble, and who gave their names as Smiths, have confessed to three rob beries and have given their names as Mr. and Mrs. Walter Stone. The young woman is a native nf North Carolina, being the only child of her parents who reside at Bessimer City. Her maiden name was Ola Mae Gardner, and her age is given at 19. She wrote a letter to her father at Bessimer City, and this is how offi cers broke down the silence that en shrouded both of them since they were apprehended. Stone gave his home as Rices Landing, Pa., and his age at 24. The confession clears up two other robberies besides the one at Marble, in which about eight hun dred dollars worth of goods were stolen. The car, a Nash sedan, in which they were riding was also stolen from M. I. Smith at Dayton, Ohio. Jailor George Crawford received the following letter from Mr. Bene field, owner of the Pineola Mer chandise Co., who came here and was instrumental in identifying them and the goods taken from his store; which is self explanatory : Pineola, N. C., June 12, 1928. Mr. G. 0. Crawford, Jailor, Murphy, N. C. Dear Friend: ? I have neglected to call you, it has been so stormy we could not hear well on the telephone so thought I would just write you and send the certificate.

Lion Klkius reported that the winner in the Lion's annual halhitc heaulx contt>l. which held each Near in connection with the convention, was not such a beauty as compared to the Murpln girls, although .1 lire blowout prevented him from arriving in time to allend this lcature ol the entertainment. Both reported an unusiiall) good convention. a good time, and that the Matesville club were royal en tertainers. 1 he convention goes t ? ? Durham next year. Anvii the important busir *ss matters attended to was voting the president an expression of apprecia tion for the work he had done in leading the club for the past three years and pledging him the support of each member for even greater things in Lionism during the com ing \ear. A prize was offered the Lion who would name the most complete list of Lion accomplish ments at the next meeting, and also prizes were voted for the member having the most perfect record of attendance during the coming year.

A NOBLE EXHIBITION The \\ Oman's Club of Murphy is sponsoring an exhibition of pictures at the Library that should be well patronized by all lovers of art. I he artist. Mrs. Owen Carpenter, of Indiana, is not entirely a stran ger to us, as one of her pictures, "Th^ Nantahala Gorge," jyaS pur chased some time since by Dr. Heighway, who has kindly given the public an opportunity of seeing it. The present collection consists of twenty pictures, all but one of which represent scenes in Cherokee County. The one exception being a group of Indiana beeches in au tumn. Mrs. Carpenter is particu larly happy 011 her mountain pic tures. She has caught the atmos phere and spirit. We who live among them can best testify to the truthfullness of her art. Not alone in her mountains does she '"hold the mirror up to na ture;" noble trees and rushing mountain streams proclaim her fam iliarity with our scenery, and makes us proud to know that she expects to have a summer studio in Chero kee County. This exhibition has already been shown in Andrews, where seven or eight pictures were purchased by the delighted public, and it is to be hop ed that Murphy homes will capture some of these pictures, and so real ize how true it is that *'a thing of beauty is a joy forever."
