There’s all the true atmosphere of southern mountaineer life
about the Carolina Cabin exhibit, located at the entrance to the l.ut-
ledge tavern at the World’s Fair in Chicago. Specimens of weaving,
handcraft, pottery and other work done by those good people daily
attract thousands. Hers you see Liza Lou, a typical native from the
back country, 63 miles northeast of Asheville. N. C„ weaving a basket
in front of the Carolina cabin. She is radiant in her homespun linsey-
woolsey skirt, her calico blouse and sunbonnet.
The attractive residence of D.
J. Brookshire, located on the
Statesville road four miles east
of Wilkesboro, was totally de
stroyed by Tire on Thursday aft
ernoon.
The fire originated when the
house was hit by lightning dur
ing the severe electric storm
which visited this section that
day. All efforts to extinguish the
fire proved futile.
Mr. Brookshire’s home was
one of the most modern and at
tractive country homes In Wilkes
county. It was of brick veneer
construction, containing 12 rooms
furnished with every modern
convenience.
The loss is conservatively es
timated at $8,000, less than half
of which was covered by Insur
ance. A part of the furniture In
the home ^"’as savaged before the
fire became so widespread that
It was unsafe to enter the build

The next chapter in the contest
for the Democratic nomination
for judge of the superior court
in this district will be written
Wednesday of this week when
the state boariMof elections will
sit at Wilkesboro to hear evi
dence of irregularities In the
run-off primary held June 30.
The principals In the contest,
which has held the attention of
the people of this part of the
state for weeks, are J. A. Rous
seau, of this city, and J. H.
Burke, of Taylorsville.
Since the nomination is tanta
mount to election and judges are
elected by a state-wide vote at
the polls In the general election,
this contest is attracting wide
spread Interest throughout the
state.
The contest was Instituted by
J. H. Burke, who trailed the
local candidate by 447 votes In
the run-off race.
Charges and counter charges
have been made since Mr. Burke
called for an Inveetlgatlon of the
vote In Wilkes county, alleging
that 1,500 Repnblicans cast
votes for Mr. Rousseau.
At the time set for a canvass
of the vote In the district by the
state board of elections In Ra

Mr. Burke’s counsel and volum-
nlous affidavits were presented-
No action was taken by the
board other than to set August
25 as the date for a public hear
ing at the courthouse In Wilkes
boro. Last (week Mr. Burke ask
ed that the hearing be postponed
until Wednesday, August 1. The
request was granted by the state
board.
Mr. Rousseau and his support
ers here have flatly denied the
allegations that he received a
majority because of Republican
voting and have counter-charged
that more of the Republicans
who did vote, voted for Burke
than Rousseau. It has also been

Everett Wiles, outlawed for
slaying Constable C. A. (Nath)
Wyatt, March 25, 1932, In Roek
Creek township, is reported cap
tured in Louisiana.
Sheriff J. J. Jeansonne, o(
Marksvllle, La., stated Saturday
that he had arrested a maa
thought to be Wiles.
Sheriff W. B. Somers wireg
the Louisiana' officer for a
tailed description, which tallied
to the merest detail with the
description of Wiles on file la
the Wilkes sheriff’s files..,'' '
At the request of Sheriff Soia-
ers the suspect is being held by
officers there for positive idea,-
tiflcation, which is expected
within a short time.
It Is recalled that Wyatt waa
shot down and instantly killed
at the home of Wiles while ha
waa investigating reports that
Wiles possessed some stolea
property. Following the kllllas
a thorough search was made for
Wiles throughout the community
but he had apparently disappear
ed “into thin air." Later he waa
reported "seen" a number ot
times In northern Wilkes coua-
ty.
Wiles was outlawed and a re
ward of $200 for his capture waa
posted, $100 by Wilkes county
and a like sum by the state.
His description at the time o(
the crime was: age, 34; height,
six feet; weight, 160; complex
ion, sallow; shOttlders, stooped;
eyes, blue; hair, chestnut brown;
heavy eyebrows, hairy forearma
and a vertical scar above point
of right cheek.
The description wired to Sher- ’
iff Somers from Louisiana offi
cers corresponds in every detail
and officers are almost certain
that Wiles has been captured.
Counterfeiting Charge
Federal officers in Louisiana
are also holding the suspect on
a charge of passing $5 and $16
counterfeit bills. In this connee-
tion It has been reported that a
number of counterfeit bills of
these denominations have been
passed in North Wilkesboro and
this vicinity.
Whether or not the reported
counterfeit bills here and the
arrest of Wiles have any connec
tion may be brought out in the
next few days.
Miss Rachel Whittington, stu
dent at A. S. T. C.. Boone, suf
fered an acute attack of appen
