A BOOTLEGGER’S CACHE
When the question of ABC stores was being
discussed before the voters of Wake county
some time ago, a certain newspaper took a very
active part in advocating the stores. If our re
collection holds, that paper advocated the stores,
using as one of its stock arguments that liquor
stores would be the only way to rid the county of
the offensive bootlegger.
We read in a recent editorial from this same
newspaper: “Stores or no stores the bootlegger
will continue to be active in Raleigh, it would
seem . . . The officers say many known boot
leggers are among the steady purchasers. How
to stop them is something that has stumped
Chief Pierce and his men for the moment.’’
Who ever heard of one organization going
into a profitable business to freeze another out?
Especialy when that other business required lit
tle capital, had no overhead and could stay open
twenty-four hours a day. Free liquor and good

Editor Zebulon Record:
While returning from Kentucky
recently I had an opportunity to vis
it the court house of Carroll coun
ty, Virginia, where the Allens and
court house officials had a small
war in 11)12. The courthouse has
been repaired and there are no
signs of this battle, except there
are two slabs on either side of the
Judge’s Chair and on one is inscrib
ed: “Erected by the Bar Associa
tion of Virginia in memory of Wil
liam Fester, Commonwealth At
torney; Lewis Webb, Sher
iff; Augustus C. Fowler, Mem
ber of the jury; Bettie Ayers, a
witness in the case then under trial,
who were assassinated in this court
house while in discharge of their
duty to the commonwealth, on
March 14th, 1912.”
And on the other is inschibed.
“Erected by the State Bar As
sociation of Virginia as a memor
ial of the Legal accomplishments
the Fidelity to duty, and the cour
age unto death of Thornton Lem
mon Massey, Judge of the twenty
first Virginia Circuit who was as
sassinated while holding court, in
the Court House of Carroll County,
Virginia, on the Fourteenth of
March. 1912. To die in the dis
charge of duty is to live forever
in hearts which honor courage and
patriotism.”
Hillsville, Virginia is a nice
looking small town, and the coun
try about Hillsville, Marion and
Abingdon, would measure favor
ably with the Valley of Virginia.
The Allens were seemingly well
to-do people, having a lot of this
good land and living well as far as
finances were concerned. I saw the
home of Floyd Allen. I believe it
was, and it is beautiful, being on
the road a few miles out of Hills
ville toward Mt. Airy.

liquor is the only thing that will stop the boot
legger and he will probably have to be drowned
in it then. Liquor is liquor no matter who sells
it. It is not how it gets to the people, it is its
getting to them that matters. According to the
above quotation we might let the letters ABC
stand for A Bootlegger’s Cache more appropri
ately than for Alcohlic Beverage Control.
THE LOST COLONY
For weeks things have been happening
down on Roanoke Island. For centuries from
time to time some one has risen up to ask: “What
became of the Lost Colony? And it was forgot,
ten once more. This might have continued for a
century or two longer and then have been wholly
forgotten if the Wright Brothers had not gone
down to Kill Devil Hill to find a steady wind and
a soft place on which to light in case of a fall.
The interest kindled by the Wrights was
fanned by the natives, the government built a
monument, the State got sorry for the folks hav
ing to ride the tide or wade the sand and good
roads arrived. Interest and accessibility opened
the way for Paul Green to discover how he and
the natives might capitalize on a handful of col
onists that landed on Roanoke Island centuries
ago and then disappeared into where? Paul
Green may be a playwright and a showman, but
he is more. He is a capitalist. Not just once in
a decade will “The Lost Colony”—part dance,
part opera, part pageant —be shown like the Pas
sion Play, but every summer will the thousands
go down to the sands by the sea, rolling over
good roads to see history reenacted as it springs
from the imagination of Paul Green. He has
started something that will not stop soon. To
the name he has added fame.
