together, there is d nest OF
moonshiDers who run their stills
near the line and eyade arrest.
Last night, week ago, a mai
by the name Of Gotier went to
the house of a Mr. Fam, in the
section above mention, and de-
manded tive dollars. He was
told that they did not have it.
He left, but returned at ~
O'Clock, broke open the door
and shot Mrs. Fam and made
his escape into Sampson county.
Mrs. Fam is not fatally wound
ed, though it was a narrow es-
cape, the ball or shot entering
the side and lodging in the ab-
domen. She was unprotected,
ber husband being away and no
one but little children with her.
It is said that Gotier is an illic-
it distiller, but We do not know
that it is true. This was an
outrageous affair and we trust
the the rascal will be caught.
Illicit distilling will corrupt
the morals OF the young people
of any neighborhood where it
is carried on, and the good peo-
pie of this section are opposed
to it, and are doing their best to
put a stop to it, It causes t.rou-
BILE, makes desperate Nell and
ought to be fe,reted out.
Since writing the above Go
tier has been arrested and is
now in jail. Sheriff Fisher, and
posse Of eleven men, surround
ed his house Sunday morning
at daylight, and sent a friend to
tell Gotier of the condition OF
things, and he surrendered He
will be given d hearing before
q Justice OF the Peace III day
Or two.

{ The people at Wade, thi
/ county, held an indignation
meeting last Monday and adopt
