CARLOS RECTOR.
Greenville Sheriff Said to Have Shot
Apples Of Brothers Head.

Fiery of face, lean Of waist, and
ravboned, Carlos A. Rector, reform
ed moonshiner, who has been elect
ed sheriff of Greenville county, to
take Office in January, used to shoot
apples off the top Of his brother
head to entertain his barefoot trlends
when they would call upon him at his
parents home way back in the heart
of the Blue Ridge mountains. Noun
taineers for miles and miles around
marveled at the expert manner IN
which Carlos and his brother Hen
dirk handled the rifle in making close
shave shots, with each other as hu-
man targets, writes j. Carter Lltl-
mer Of Greenville, news writer, IN
the Atlanta Journal. Hendrix was
elected sheriff in 1912 and was serV-
ine The third year of his second term
when he was shot and kEed on July
T. 1919, by Jake Gosnell, deputy COL
1octor of internal revenue, as a result
of old political strife. Carlos was
then prevailed upon to make the race
and he defeated six opponents, in
Guiding Captain Sam D. Willis, who
was wounded in France, and who was
appointed by Governor Cooper to fill
out the unexpired term of the late
Hendrix Rector.
Both Hendrix and Carlos Rector
together with their brother JEFF, who
followed General Pershing into Mex
leo and France and was decorated for
bravery, were born and raised in
a little log cabin in what is known
as Dark Corner" because for years
and years it was lair of moonshin-
ers and still is. The Rector boys,
like all others who first saw the light
of day in this dismal section, did not
think it any harm to make moonshine
liquor. It was their belief this
opinion still holds with most noun
taineers today-that they had God
given right to do as they pleased with
a scanty crib Of corn which they man
aged to raise on the hill sides. So
they distilled white lightning" to
sell and drink. About twelve years
ago Carlos Rector became intensely
interested in a religious revival and
was converted into the belief that
making liquor was all wrong-it was
not the strong arm Of the law that
changed him, but the words of a
mountain "'sky pilot" He even went
out himself and beseeched his fellow
moonshiners to abandon the still and
make an honest living. Among those
who needed the apepal and reformed
was his brother Hendrix, and from
then on they gave their hearts to
law enforcement. Hendrix Rector was
elected magistrate and Carlos served
as constable. Then Hendrix moved
to Greenville and within short time
this Zion of the mountains" became
a lion of politics and was elected
sheriff, but not without stirring up
political feuds because he defeated
the scion of one of the aldest and
most aggressive political families in
the state. His spectacular career
ended when three shots caused his
heart to cense beating July 4, 1919,
at local garage. Carlos Rector was
then nominated to the highest Of
fee in the gift of the people of the
county.
Carlos A. Rector, sc years of age,
said that it was his earnest ambition
some day to be elected to a seat in
congress-
