place to put them, some of them
still throw their trash on the
street wtihin a few feet of the
cans. But more and more people
every day are using the cans.
Some persons have been seen to
come along and pick up other peo
ple’s trash and put it in the can,
just because they feel this is their
community and they hate to see it
littered with trash . . . . The
Waynesville Mountaineer says it
doesn’t know the answer as to why
22 persons were convicted at the
August term of Superior Court for
driving drunk. Editor Russ seems
to think the ratio of drunken driv
ers to population of the county
very high. He didn’t stop to
analyze the figures of other coun
ties. Rutherford was much high
er in proportion. That county has
a recorder’s court to dispose of'
cases more frequently. Polk’s 22
cases were all the cases from the
February court to August. A num
ber of the drunks were out-of
county people from South Carolina,
Henderson, Rutherford and Tran
sylvania Counties. Patrolman Jack
Cabe states there should have been
more convictions in Polk County,
but the county being small does not
have enough officers to catch the
violators. Editor Russ said what
puzzled him most was the number
of violators caught transporting
and manufacturing. It is true that
Polk is near Whiskey Spartanburg
County, and some people with more
liquor than the law allows get
caught bringing it out of South
Carolina into PnlV Conn tv. TVio
reason some people get caught
manufacturing liquor is because
Polk County liquor is considered
by many to be the best and they
are willing to pay the price for it.
The manufacturers have lived in
these hills all their lives and their
families have made liquor since
they first settled in this country.
They see no harm in it. So as
long as peoule prefer white liquor
and are willing to pay the price,
some people will be found who will
take the chance of making it. It
will take a lot of officers to pro
hibit it. The cheapest way is not
to be a customer.
