Long known to merchants and business men as “good pay” the moonshiners are in a bad way financially. A friend of ours who is a collector for a firm that sells their products for a little down and a little more each week, who for professional reasons we shall call Otto, told us a most pathetic tale recently. Otto is a “good” man for his size but he is only sixty inches tall and weighs only about a hun dred pounds but he is brave to say the least. He thinks nothing ef invading the moonshie district armed with nothing more than a contract giving him the right to repossess merchandise that has been purchased by a fellow who couldn’t read the contract and had to get Otto to help him sign his ‘name. According to Otto he sold a young man a bicycle last October and in November he sold the same boy a set of tires for a model A Ford which he had just purchas ed. The boy had been sending Otto a payment on the tires every week but never but a few for the bicycle and Otto’s boss ordered him to go over the mountain and bring back the bicycle or the money. Early the next day Otto took off^over the mountain and into the Sugar Loaf Hill district where the young man lived, and our collector friend says that after you get ten or fifteen miles off the main road, which is bad enough, that the going really gets tough. Otto got stuck three times with the mud often ovSi* the top of his fenders but he finally reached his delinquent customer who greeted him in the yard with a high powered rifle in hand. Otto said howdy and felt a lit tle shaky about saying anything else. When Otto’s boss was mak ing out the credit form when the boy bought the bicycle he asked the boy what kind of work he did and the reply was “none of your d- business,” then he asked the boy if he farmed and he said (Continued on eighth page) COUNTY COURT DRAWSJURORS Several Valdese Men Placed On March Term Jury Staff For Burke County.
