Marijuana Found
Deep In Lynn Woods
At 4 p.m. Thursday, Polk
County Sheriffs deputies had
been working two hours and had
another hour of work ahead
pulling up marijuana plants
found in the woods behind Lynn.
“This was some of the prettiest
we’ve seen,” Sheriff Boyce
Carswell said. “The plants were
eight feet tall, bushed out and
ready to bloom.”
The plantings, deep in the
woods between Hooker Road and
River Road, were spotted by
officers working in helicopters,
Carswell said. The plantings
were in small patches, in
clearings in the woods spread out
over a half a mile of terrain.
Carswell said there were no
suspects at this time. Officers
were pulling up the plants and
transporting them to a waiting
jeep on an old logging road,
which then hauled the illegal
contraband to a waiting pick-up
truck.

Lake Adger Land
Deal Falls Through
Negotiations to buy the
Champion Paper Co. property
surrounding Lake Adger have
fallen through, said Keith Carver
of Carver Properties in
Rutherfordton.
Carver had wanted to buy to
the property to develop
residential homesites on the lake-
front, but he said negotiations fell
apart during a session last
Friday over the issue of how the
financing would be structured.
“I can’t tell you how I feel just
now,” Carver said.
Residents of the lake had been
concerned that the development
plans might spoil the natural
beauty and quiet of Lake Adger,
and hoped that perhaps a nature
conservancy might purchase the
propertv one day.

Emotion A Key In
Polk-Landrum Game
“This will be one of those ball-
games where it doesn’t make any
difference what anybody’s got,"
said Polk County Woverine coach
Dennis Stokes Thursday.
The match-up between Polk
County and the Landrum
Cardinals will be played to a
large degree on the emotion of
the long-standing rivalry, Stokes
said.
Landrum coach Arvie Bennett
agreed.
“They (the Wolverines) beat
Chesnee, so they have to be
good,” Bennett said. He said his
team will be counting on strong
performances from Jason Ayers
and Gerald Whiteside, and “just
doing what we’re doing for the
year.”
Coach Stokes discounts the
trouncing last week that the
Cardinals took at the hands of the
Chapman Panthers “They will
be up for us,” Stokes said.
“You never know what’s going to
happen.”
The game will be played
tonight at 8 p.m. at Harmon
Field. If there were a postpone
ment due to heavy rains, the
game would be played on
Saturday night.
