SHERIFF FARRAR.
CAPTUERS STILL.
Messrs. Scott Farmer and Richard
Gilmore Arrested and Put Under
Bonds oil $500 Each.

- VOW ASnths
Sheriff Farrar destroyed wildcat
still on Horse Hunter creek in some
high weeds about half a mile north
west of the depot last Saturday morn
ing, aftrwards arreSting Scott Farmer
and Dick Gilmore, charging them
with being the operators of the still.
! For some time the sheriff and his
,and his deputies have been on the
lookout for still, the evidence being
strong that one was some where in
this neighborhood. After locating the
site, the sheriff with Deputies Hunter
and Madison watched the place all
of Friday night last. The site was
an ideal place, as the land is so rich
along the creek that blood weeds
grow as high ss one-story house
and as rank in proportion. No9one
showed up Friday night, but the off,
GERS had a hunch that a run would be
made for the crowd on circus day,
Saturday. Messrs,Jas. El5in and Lang
/ Aycock were deputized to watch and
pretty soon Farmer and Gilmore came
along. The deputies were out of sight
of the still, but close enough to hear
everything that was said, and as
soon rs the alleged "stillers" arrived
| they noticed that the weeds had been
disturbed and also noticed some pieces
Of matches that the deputies had left
the night before, SO they realized i'm
mediaely that they we're under sur
veillarce. Mr.. Farmer remarked,
. ."Semebody,ls been, her sure sas.. hell
and Gilmore agreed with him in like
manner, SO both hiked out Farmer up
the creek. calling his hogs, and Gil

The two gentlemen were arrested
Saturday afternoon and Monday
morning at trial before Justice
Cockreh they were placed under a.
bond of $500 each for their appear
at the next term Of the circuit court
which meet next February.
The bord Of Mr.. Farmer WAS sigred
by Messrs. Ed. Chancellor and Chas.
Clark Mr., Farmer signed Mr. Gil
more's bond.
! Sheriff F'srrar has shown unusual
ienergy and interest in ruring down
cyil-doers. and his actions should
meet the commeudation and approval
of every lsw-abiding citizen in the
county and we hope that every one
eef thet class will .joir the Beacon in
throwing Sheriff Fsrrar and his dep.
iuties bouquet for his efforts in en-
forcing the law of the land. His efa
forts, too are without any hurrah or
gnandistand playing, bat actuated
simply from consciousness that the
voters elected him to the Office Of
sheriff with the expectation that he
would do his duty.
He's doing it; he doesnE wait for
some one to make out an affidavit
that some on is violating the law.
When be senses an evil he goes after
it.

Eventually they'll get the miscre-
ant who blew up Wall street. The
type of criminal who conceives, or ex-
ecutes such an appalling calamity
can't keep from talking about it after
wards. The most difficult feat cor
fronting the criminal is that of rob-
hing himself of what he believes to
be hs own glory.
It is human nature that man must
talk of his crime and a woman OF her
