AN OLD BLOCKADER CAUGHT.
Officers Make Raid North of Moncure
And Arrest Three Men.
For months and years officers have
be en trying to catch another one of
the old blockaders of the county but
were unsuccessful until last Tuesday
when they, under the lead of
Prohibition Agent Roger Horton, ac
companied by Sheriff Blair and depu
ties, captured Ex Campbell along
with two negroes, Miles Beal and Os
car Mitchell, the latter an old offend
er. They were nabbed in the act of
making “joy water” so rthose who are
dry.
Early in the morning, knowing
where the still was located, the officers
hid themselves and watched patiently.
They were at last rewarded by seeing
two of the men with boxes on their
shoulders approaching the still. When
everything was in readiress the word
was given and the men of law pounced
upon them. For a half mile one of the
three gave Officer Horton a hard race
but he eventually captured his man.
The still was of copper and held
about 50 gallons. Two sacks of su
gar, a small quantity of liquor were
seized and 1,500 gallons of beer were
destroyed.
The three men were brought to
Pittsboro, tried before Squire John R.
Blair, who put them under a bond.
Campbell gave his and was released.
The two darkies were lodged in jail,
failing to give the required security.

It is mighty poor business to be al
ways complaining about things you
can’t help but with spring as late as
it has been and a lot of rain too and
cut worms and clods to contend with,
it is no wonder tha tsome of our folks
are a little down in the mouth as you
might say. There has not been a time
in 30 years that I can recall when I
did not take a day off when the black
chubs were biting along in May but
this year I missed all together and
will have to wait until September now
and the Lord only knows what will
happen by that time. There is al
ways a lot to be thankful for if we
could only stop to take it in account.
We have plenty of greens and onions
and garden peas and strawberries, too,
to end up with but it takes sugar to
go with them and it sometimes looks
like the sugar kings or the Republican
party or somebody is going to put it
so high that a poor man will have to
sell a yearling to get a little sugar
to put in his pies this summer. They
tel lus that all the fruit was killed by
that cold snap in March. From what
I see it will be scarce but there has
never been a bigger blackberry crop.
Some how or other there is always a
kind Providence that takes care of
the poor folks and niggers.
There has been mighty little stir
ring around among our people for the
past few weeks. Everybody has been
busy and well they might for if it
comes to the worst the only man left
on top is the one who is willing to
earn his bread by digging the ground
like the Creater panned in the begin
ning. Dodging around and beating
the world out of enough to live on and
more too, has been the habit of some
folks ever since the days of Noali, hut
there is nothing- in this world that
equals the satisfaction that comes to
a man to eat the bread that, with his
own hands, he planted the seeds and
tilled the ground and God’s rain and
sunshine brought the increase. Still
there are lots of us who are willing
to see the other man do all the work
and get all the satisfaction if there be
such. But for all that when sprirg
comes and everything is growing, the
call of the field is too much for those
of us who have had the privilege of
being brought up in the great, good
land of the Old North State. I have
no special desire to give up the strug
gle of this life just now, but I do want
to pass on before this country, if it
must some day, gets away from the
old life of our forefathers who loved
the open country and were willing to
biv the last drop of their blood for
its freedom and protection.
It will not be long until roastn’ear
time and if we can get by the 4th of
July without getting run over or suf
fering some other calamity, it is salifc,
to say that we will have plenty to "eat
and more before September comes.
Jim’s boys have planted a big wat
ermelon patch down on the sandy bot
tom and they tell me the prospects
are all right for plenty of melons by
- big meeting time. There won’t be
much elisure any time soon but I Will
see for mvself the chances for good
i rations with my old neighbors up on
; the river a little bit later. They are
to busv at Jim Young’s now to even
be sociable. There is nothing like
putting in work while time and oppor
tunity is given. It will be too late to
be planting corn when other folks are
fixing to pull fodder.
News and Prophecy.
Tampa Times.
Along in last January when every
body was fighting the frost king, an
Asheville weather sharp had the te
merity to say that Asheville would sed
snow on or about May 12. Every
body laughed at such ridiculous fore
casting. Well May 12 came along ac
cording to schedule and brought with
it “slight traces of snow,” and the
forecaster had the last laugh. But
it must have taken some nerve to
make the prophecy.

these days. All sorts of automobiles
pass through the town, some with
trailers and some built like houses.
Last Sunday a car stopped here for
a few minutes that was painted like

DEEP RIVER COAL FIELD.
More Comprehensive Report Received
by U. S. Geological Survey.
Chapel Hill, May 31.—A more de
tailed and comprehensive report on the
Deep River coal field, just received by
the Survey from M. R. Campbell and
K. K. Kimball, of the U. S. Geological
survey, which co-operated in the work
fully justifies and substanitates the
preliminary reconnaisance made by
the Survey in this important district.
The preliminary estimates of sixty
million tons available and suitable for
mining operations has been increased
by the later report to 67,000,000 tons.
The Survey has forwarded to the
Lee County Chamber of Commerce
at Sanford a copy of the report com
plete, where ft will be kept on file and
available for the use of interested per
sons. The report has also been sent
to the public printer, but some delay
will necessarily attend its publication.
A summary and digest will therefore
be printed m the June 16 issue of Na
tural Resources, the bi-weekly publi
cation of the Survey.
. The Deep River coal field, which
’includes the ancient Cumnock mine,
is owned by several interests and has
been only superficially developed.
Every indication, however, is that it
is susceptible of being a really import
ant coal mining area.
Persons interested who may wish
copies of any portion of the report be
fore publication, are invited to ad
dress the North Carolina Geological
and Economic Survey, Chapel Hill,
which will be glad to furnish them at
a cost to cover actual stenographic
work.

TEN RICHEST*MEN IN WORLD.
Smithfield Herald.
In ancient times Croesus was with
out a rival when it came to picking
out the wealthiest men in the world.
But today with more than 150 million
aires in the United States to say no
thing ©f ,|he jfe men of other coun
tries, the task of naming the richest
men becomes complicated. It was ap
parently easier however, to name the
richest man than to select the ten
richest men, according to an article
published recently in The New York
Times. Henry Ford, who heads the
list, because of the financial statement
of the Ford Motor Company, is able
to estimate more accurately his for
tune than some of the others who are
set down among the ten wealthiest
men in the world. The men* selected
are as follows and include men pos
sessing more wealth as individuals
rather than families:
Henry Ford—ssso,ooo,ooo.
John D. Rockefeller—ssoo,ooo,ooo.
