Rose was captured a few hours after ; the shooting by Tom Lee, Jr., and Horace Duckett, and brought to jail for safe keeping Tuesday night. On Wednesday afternoon Rose was car ried to the Asheville jail in the rumble seat of the car of Kenneth Lowe, son of Sheriff J. A. Lowe.

The featured run of the game was made by Allen, Canton full back, who returned a kickoff 65 yards in the final quarter. The field was so slip pery that the Waynesville man tould not get a foot-hold to get out after Allen. .",.' .". Waynesville's first tally was made soon after the opening kick-off xvith Bridges carrying the ball. Reeves played a prominent part in getting the ball to scoring distance.

A discussion was entered into whert by public works could be done with the Federal aid money and em ploy only those in the county that needed work and financial help at this time. It is nott he purpose of the relief to give cash to those ask ing for help, but give them work on ptojevt that needs attention at Mt, time. However, it was pointed nut that families needing help and mil aide to Work will be helped, Lilt not an Ml ail such cases are given . a 'jiPH'irh investigation.

This, p.an met with tne 'hearty approval if Mis; Weaver and members of the two boards present. One project that was Mentioned was the building of a sidewalk at the West ' Canton school, as the present situation there was considered most dangerous as the i00 school children S'-a-lK on the highway and are careless c.bout looking out for cars.
