She jjjadfeitt giggly VOL. XXXIII_ YADKINVILLE, YADKIN COUNTY, N. C., THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1926 . VOL. No. 9 A Revenue Officer Plays In Hard Luck — ... If ever a revenue officer played in hard luck Federal Prohibition Agent Fred Ratledge of Davie county must hold the blue ribon. Ratledge had been on a visit to what is known as the “Little Nation” section of Yadkin and Davie counties and had been many i weary miles through woods and marsh without success. Finally j deciding that the hunt was use-! less he made his way out and started for home in the direction of Courtney. Soon he wTas over taken by a Ford roadster con taining three boys, driving reck lessly over the road and trying to pass the federal officer. His keen nose told him there was easy pie in that gang for him and he be gan to play them in bad. In their effort to get by the officers’ j car, the Ford was overturned and pinned all three occupants under the car. Well, thought Mr. Ratledge, that was all to easy. But he was destined to disappointment. He could not let them stay under the machine. That was inhuman. So he pulled one of them out and asked him to help extricate his j fellow passengers. He appeared willing enough, so they pulled out a second one, leaving one yet j under the wreckage. All hands j then started to raise the little j car from the pinioned companion and when it was raised to a point j ' whefe it could not be turned loose by all as it would fall on the third man, the two helpers flew the coop and made for the tall timbers of which that section is noted. Mr. Ratledge could only hold his position and look at them run or loose his hold and probab ly kill the remaining man. He , held his post and the third man was rescued, handcuffed, and severely cautioned. But the first chance that offered itself he broke all the speed records in that sec- j tion, taking with him handcuffs ; and all. Mr. Ratledge had done • his duty as he saw' it and done it well, but suddenly found him self with only a demolished Ford and three pints of booze on his hands. -- MR. TYRE C.

Bramham, chairman of the state Republican executive committee, opposes Marion Butler's plan of an enlarged committee on the ground that a quorum could not be secured and unscrupulous leaders could secure control of tbe committee by proxies, in a letter issued last week. “A blind man can see through this scheme and what it leads to,” he said.

Federal patronage is left to the county committees, he said.
