Big Still Captured.
On last Friday night Mess. R.
W. Morris and R. H. Gates got
Lwind of the fact that there was
some moonshining going on down

ed to go after them. They cap
tured a large still, eighty gallon

quit, or Bob Morris will get
them.

Mexico Setting Stage
For A Decisive Battle.
Washington, Aug. 22. While
the Pan American conferees await
further replies to their peace ap
peal to Mexican leaders, the stage
apparently is being set for a decis
ive battle between Carranza and
Villa in central Mexico.
Villa's agency here announced
tonight that the "flying column"
recently operating in the south
had reached Torreon to reinforce
the army opposing the northward
march of Carranza forces under
Obregon. The. Villa dispatches
also said Raoul Madero had begun
an attack on Monterey.
The Carranza agency issued a
statement saying that ''further,
declaiations of adherence to the
constitutionalists' government of
Mexico" had been dispatched to
Washington by. General Salvado
Ajvarndo, governor of Yucatan
and commander of the army, corps
of the southeast, and Gen. Martin
Triana, governor and military
commander of Ago as Calientes.
Watch These Columns.
The merchants have started
their pilgrimage to the north for
supplies and when these goods
begin to arrive you will be well
repaid to watch these columns,
for-when any one' has something
a little out-of the ordinary he is
sure to tell about it. . No better
index to what is going on than

County Jail Criminal Docket
Completed Thursday Noon.
The August term pf Person
. . , . r . . i
Qounty SupeVior Court continued
throughout the week, and only a
few civil cases were tried, owing
to the largeness of the criminal
docket.
The following is complete pro
ceedings of the court:
Criminal Docket.
State vs John Cha vis. Indictment
assault with deadly weapon. Ver
dict not guilty.
State vs Thurston Humphries
and Earnest Green. Indictment
Assault with deadly weapon. Plead
guilty. Judgement suspended on
payment of cost. r
State vs Polk Pulliam. Indict
ment larcency. Defendant pleads
guilty. Judgement suspended on
payment of post.
State vs Henry and Lucy East
wood. Verdict not guilty. -
State ys Will Clayton. The de-
fendant .was charged with stealing
money from a man named Hicks
at the Hyco Warehouse early in
the spring. The case went to the
Jury and a verdict of guilty was
found.
f Clay tonwas also charged with
retailing liquor. To this charge
the defendant plead guilty. He
was sentenced for both charges to
two years in jail, with power to
commissioners to hire out defend
ant to J. S. Rhew for said term.
State vs D. M. Andrews
Indictment transporting liquor.
To this charge the' defendant
entered a plea of guilty. Itr" as
sometime later 'during the-'? week
that Judge Allen pronounced sen
tence. During the time an effort
was made for clemency for the de
fendant, owing to the prominence
of Mr. Andrews and his age. A
sentence of six months in Person
county jail was imposed by Judge
Allen.
Sometime later during the week
a plea by Gov. W. W. Kitchin,
attorney for Mr. Andrews, was
made to have the sentence chang
ed to a fine. Judge Allen did not
change his former sentence.
State vs Thos. Leonard and
Burton Charles. Indictment trans
porting liquor. Plead guilty. Pray
er for judgement continued until
October term of court. Evidence !
developed as to the. "man higher
up," and the Judge held these
men under $500 bond each for the
next term of court.
State vs Ingram Wilson and
iCddie Wilson. Indictment assault
with deadly weapon.
This case created a great deal of
interest and the court house was
packed during the trial. The de
fendant shot and seriously wound
ed Mr. Bob Dunn -of the Hurdles
Mill section, sometime last month. !
It was thought at the time of the
shooting that Mr. Dunn's wounds
would prove fatal, but he was
hurried to the hospital for treat
ment, and recovered. !
Mr. Wilson had blocked a road
which ran through his plantation.
While the road was an old one
and had been used for yearS past,
it seems the. defendant understood
that it was a private road and not
public property. For this reason
he thought he1 had the right to
bloctit
Mr. Dunn started to drive an
automobile through the road and
when he came to that portion
which had been blocked, he got
out of the machine and proceeded
to throw the obstruction out of
the way of his machine. When he
did this Wilson ran up and let
him have a load from a shot gun.
The jury - found a verdict of
- guilty as to Ingram Wilson. t As
