uia Kan *ence Will boon |
be Thing of Fast
But a few years from cow file
old iusliioceti zig zag rail fence
will be a thing of the past, Very
few of the old time rail ienfces
are seen now and it will be but
a si: oil time until they are gone
forever. A generation has aiisn
th3l has no idea of how much
real hard labor a hundred yards
ol these old time fences repre
sents, These old time raTfences
represent me sturdy toil of men
who were the pioneer men who
felled the trees, chopped the logs
into proper “cuts” and then
with handmade , maul, iron
wedge and dogwood ‘'glut” split
the rails and then carried them
by main strength and place them
in order on the fence. The rail
fence builder knew nothing of
the automobile ride. They rode
many a day on a heavy cflcTwag
oa on top of splintery rails as
the team pplled the heavy load
of green rads across a stump- j
filled, rough new ground. They
went home at night, and they
did not sit in an upholstered
chair under electric or gas light,
but they saft in a hard sp\it bot
tom homo made cMirF^nd Idcf a
life of ion, me rail fence build
ers did, but they were men of
grit and determination, and de
serve credit for the heroic man- j
ner in which they toiled.
Next time you see an old time i
zig zag rail fence pause long
enough to pay mental tribute to
the toilers of the day of the rail
fence.
Put Poultry Wire Over
Tobacco Flues.
The following timely sugges
tion is made by an exchange in
the tobacco growing territory:
“The curing of the tobacco
crop in this section is well under
way and will soon be finished.
♦ The burning of many baruswhile
in process of curing has come as
a calamity to many farmers. * It
has been suggested that if the
farmer will place poultry wire
between his tobacco and the
flues the danger of loss by fire
will be gieatly obviated. Most
barns are burned by the tobacco
falling on the flues while in a
state of high temperature which
results in the loss of the entire
barn and it contents. .Too much
care cannot be exercised in try
ing to save the crop.” *

Deputy Sheriffs
Marie Big Haul
Wednesday night Sheriff Mot
ley received a message that
| there was a whole barrel of
whiskey in one spot, and that
spot was in a place which might
be called No Man’s land, which
is4a part of Stokes’ Valley in
Knobs township. The report
also said that four big husky
mountaineers, with shot £uns
galore, were hanging around the
barrel and, perhaps, imbibing its
contents to their own satisfac
tion.
So ihe sheriff got four depu
ties, Ray, Norman, Hauser and
Shugart, and started them on
the run for the place. Word
had evidently gone ahead of the
deputies, as the barrel had been
rolled some distance, but it was
tracked and when iouua several
men were around it. All got
away but one who itemed to
have passed the navigation
stage and he was brought in
with the barrel and 35 gallons j
of vvhiskev. George Cummings |
was the man caugat and he says
his home is in Winston-Salem,
he gave bond for his appear
ance at court next March.
i ae whiskey was poured out
ou the streets by the oiiicers.
Auer imding ihe whiskey me
ofiicers were fired on a numbei
of times from ambush, and they
returned the fire with pistols.
I hey say that twenty-live or
more shots were tired, out no i
damage was dore to any one. j

+o be a very good case, consider
ing the age of witnesses and so
on, bat me defense had an army
of witnesses who gave me ac
cused minister a good characte.,
_ which .logtloer with one wit
ness, VViliic Mize, who disputed
pan ot the mam testimony, is
said to have caused the jury to
render a verdict oi not guilty in
less than au hour after retiring.
Only two ballots were taken by
the jury, the first one resulting
m eleven voting lor acquittal
and one guilty. The next bal
lot ell voted alike. The case
was one of a serious nature and

that everybody was guessing the
result.
