VOL. I NO. 7 SYLVA, N. C., SEPTEMBER 17 , 1915, $1.00 THE YEAR IN ADVANCE WILLIAMS APPEARS TO HAVE MADE ESCAPE That the posse which was seeking Ed Williams, in the Smoky mount ains, was unable to locate the al leged slayer of members of. the family of P. L. Phillips is informa tion which has been received at this city from the heart f the Smoky section. Although the members of the posse went 'over many miles of mountain ranges with the belief that they ha4 an ex cellent idea as to the placejat which the fugitive and his associates were hiding, it is stated that a thorough search of the property failed' to re veal a trace of Williams and his. friends and it is feared now that they have made their escape from this section of the state. Shortly after the assassination of all of the members of the Phillips family except a young son of Mr. Phillips, a posse was organized to make a search of the mountains and it went over the mountainous territory heavily armed and with provisions to last its members for several days. Information receiv ed by certain members vof the searching party was to ine" effect that the men whom they sought were in hiding in a mountain cave several miles from Topton, but a visit to the cave failed to reveal any trace of the missing men. Officers of surrounds counties of this and other states have been fur- nished with descriptions of the j men who are charged with having a hand fn aSiSafibnW W members of the Phillips family, but it is feared now that they have made a complete escape. It has been several weeks since Mr. Phil lins fpll mortallv wounded near AJw -y ' W his home and his death occurred a considerable time after the mur der of other members of his family. It is feared, therefore, that the slayers have taken advantage of the time offered to them to leave Western North Carolina and that they have thrown their pursuers off their trail. In .spite of the apparent escape of Williams and others who are sought, officers and members of the posse will continue their efforts to secure information which will lead to the discovery of the where abouts of the missing men.

ELEVEN MORE ' DAYSJJNTIL FAIR It is only eleven more days until the fair begins and the management is working hard to make it one of the best fairs yet.

A The association has gone to a great deal of expense this year to have the Fair and it is the duty of every farmer and stock raiser to make the best exhibit possible, and not onlv this but to show the out side world that old Jackson is second to none in the production of corn, hay, potatoes apples, wheat, oats, and in fact everything that is raised on the farm, and stock raising.
