Still Captured.
At davdawn last Friday morn
ing a blockade still vas captured
by Deputy Sheriff S. G. Gunter
and Messrs. Raymond Knight,
Ralph Knight and Ralph 'John
son, about two miles west of Em
maus church. At the same time
they captured, after a desperate
fight, a colored man, named Ed
Alston. The still was a compara
tively new copper st 11 of about
55-gallon capacity, and had not
been run in its present location,
but everything was in readiness.
The officer and his party lett here
about midnight and when in
about tvo miles of the still they
left their automobile, and in the
darkness cautiously proceeded on
font through fields and forests
to the place where the still was
supposed to be, arriving there
about an hour before dav. As
no one was found at the still, the
officers hid themselves nearby in
different places, and about day
dawn a wagon was driven to
within about two liurdred yards
of the still and there unloaded.
A white man was seen to ap
proach the still as if preparing to
go to work, and just then anoth
er white man and a ney ro in go
ing to the still walked up to two
of the officers in hiding and then
ensued a lively chase. The ne
gro was soon caught, but the
white man with him reached the
wagon and hastily drove off. The
negro fought so desperately that
it required the united efforts of
all four officers to subdue him,
and he did not submit until after
he had been knocked down and
handcuffed. After his arrest a
large and dangerous looking nine
inch knife was taken from his
pocket. He not only fought with
his hands and feet, but with his
teeth. While the officers were
subduing him, the other two
blockaders got away. We will
not here publish their names.
The captured negro and stilw
were brought to Pittsboro jail,
and the same day the negro was
bailed out under a $500 dollar
bond, signed by Carey Johnson
and Elmer Perry.
While the officers were arrest
ing the regro one of the white
men drove the wagon away at a
runawav gait leaving behind on
the ground the load of m;al con
sisting of about 12 to 14 bushels,
all of which was destroyed by
the officers as they had no way
of removing it. They also de
stroyed between 1500 and 2,000
gallons of beer at the still.
When will our Chatham block
aders learn that they cannot pur
sue their illicit business without
mo'estiion. The good people of
this county and our officers are
determined to capture every
blockade still as fast ag it is put
into position,
A Heavenly Phenomena.
On last Saturday morning some
of our citizens were much alarm
ed by the strange appearance of
the heavens. Although a very
cloudy morning yet there was a
strange and unusual light or glow
in the skies. & was a yellow ca
nary color or, as one of our color
ed townsmen said, like the yel
low of an egg with meal mixed
in it. It occurred between 5 and
6 o'clock and extended all over
the heaven above and all around
the horizon.
So alarmed was one of our good
housewives at this strange phe
nomena that she thought judg
ment day had come and stopped
cooking breakfast. Those who
saw it declare it was PQt the re
flection of the rising sun. If not,
what caused it? It was entirely
gone by 6:15 o'clock.
In Monday night's air raid 107
nprsnns were killed and eighty-

School News.
The Pittsboro public high
school opened Monday, Sept. 3d,
with 122 students, 36 of which
are in the high school.
The opening exercises were, in
many respects, the most inter
esting and auspicious we have
ever had. There were addresses j
by our county superintendent,
members of the county board of
education and by representatives
from the town, which were in
spiring and appropriate,
One of the features of the be
ginning of school was the greet
ings sent from teachers and pu
pils to all former students who
are now serving in the army of
the United States.
Much needed work has been
done in and around the school
building in preparation for open
ing of school. The building is in
a beautifully clean and sanitary
condition, and it is hoped that
both teachers and pupils will
take great pride in keeping it
thus.
We want to emphasize the fact
that our school is alwavs glad to
have visitors. Last year quite a
number of the patrons visited the
school and we hope that this year
many more w'll avail themselves
of this opportunity of keeping in
closer touch with the school and
of encouraging both teachers and
pupils, " 821
