An hour later, H seemed that practically the town’s entire popu lace had descended on the square. Someone 'had a brainstorm and strung up an effigy of Kaiser Wilhelm in front of the county Courthouse. Things -really started popping then. - - . in blouse caps and knickers* and adults alike sped for home and their artillery. The effigy was guickly riddled with gunshot. Levi Butner Jr., a local barber, finally matched the feat of Per shing's Army and brought the Kaiser down with well-aimed shotgun blast that severed the rope around his neck. The onlookers roared lustily and a couple of young fellows sitting! in the window of a building under’ construction a’cross the street almost toppled from their perch when they became excited. When the building was complet ed the lower floor was ocoupied by a barbershop owned by the late Blake Wilson; the upper floor Contained the offices cf a dentist, Dr. Hamilton. It’s the same to day—the Yancey Barbershop is on the lower floor, the offices of Dr. R. K. Ransom on the second floor. *, J 4 -f ; | H^^JUjJjp ;i '••».to~k;_ "’ ' j‘" ? * /.+ 3 ’- *'t i.
