MOONSHINERS ARE
FARINC VERY BADLY
Big lnroads Made This Week by Local Officers
on Liquor Traffic in This Community
MEN AND STILLS ARE TAKEN

Fourteen gallons of whiskey,
five hundred gallons of mash,
two genuine copper stills,
three white and three col.
ored distillers, and one
white bootlegger comprise
the bag for the past week of the
local police force in their cam.
paign against the blind tiger and
all his works.
The first raid made on Friday
night by Policemen Jackson,
Bishop, Dobbins, and Hendricks
and Sheriff J. A. House, resulted
in the capture of Will Joyper
and Albert Nethercutt, white
and Sam Fenner and the brothers
Manly, colored, together
with a sixty gallon copper
still, seven gallons of corn
whiskey and five hundred
gallons of mash. The still was
not in operation when the officers
got to it but preparations were in
progress for a big run" as five
hundred gallons of mash almost in
readiness bore ample testimony.
Joyner and Nethercutt were ar
rested at Joyner's home, but it
required quite a marathon over
rough ground on the part of
Policeman Jackson before one of
the Manly negroes was overtaken
and captured. After hearing the
evidence Magistrate j. K. Dick
ems bound the entire crowd over
to the Halifax Superior Court un-
der bonds of exactly fifteen hun
dred dollars each.
On Sunday night descent by
Policemen Jackson, Bishop, Dob
bins and Hendricks upon the resi-
dence of John Joyner, brother of
Will, netted an eighty gallon cop
per still and seven gallons of
monkey rum. John Joyner and
Tom Daniels, a negro, were taken
in custody, placed under the u.s.
ual fifteen hundred dollar bond
and sent on to Halifax to join the
rest of the crowd.
On the testimony of four wit
nesses, Peg" Perry, of Rose
mary was arrested last Friday
and sent on to Halifax under a
fifteen hundred dollar bond.
The evidence against Perry was
worked up by Policeman H. E.
Dobbins, of Rosemary.

AIRPLANE LANDS
NEAR BOILING
Plane and Driver Disabled by
Collision with Stump. Was
Carrying Passenger from Bed
ford City to Lawrenceville.
MISTo0K HERE FOR LAwRENCEvILLE

Lieut.. William ii. Fillmore,
driving a two passenger Curtis
plane, effected a somewhat dis
astrous landing in an open field
near Boiling on last Wednesday
morning, the plane crashing into
a stump and inficting a painful
laceration of Lieut.. Fillmore's
lip and badly damaging the
truck of the plane.
The plane was en- route from
Bedford City, Va, to Lawrence
vile, Va, Lieut.. Fillmore driving
with passenger from Bedford
City. The trip was attempted
it two hops and had taken off
from Alta Vista, Va, at daylig hit
Wednesday morning. A heavy
ground fog from Brookneal on
obscured all landmarks for some
time and Lieut.. Fillmore was
driving by compass when the
fog lifted and disclosed Roanoke
Rapids.
Lieut.. Fillmore had only a
map of Virginia and the land
marks here so closely resembled
those indicated for Lawrenceville
that he thought for some time
that he had reached his destina-
ton. His map showed Lawren-
ceville to be near river running
in a southeasterly direction
which was crossed by a railroad
bridge near a Junction several
miles to the west, and Roanoke
Rapids seemed to fill the bill
completely. 1t was some min
utes before he noticed that the
Camp railroad at Thelma crossed
to the north when if he had
been at Lawrenceville the rail-
road would have crossed to the
south.
By the time he had made this
discovery he was so nearly out
of gas that a landing here
was necessary. He rejected an
attractive landing place near
Boiling because it was green in
dicating growing crops and pick
ed a field which was black, evil
IDENTIFY having been newly plow-
ed. The stump he struck, was .
about four feet high and so near
the color of the field that he did
not see it until the instant he
struck it.
Lieut.. Fillmore's passenger
left by train to complete his trip
a little shaken up and probably
badly frightened but otherwise
unharmed. Lieut.. Fillmore has
wired for repair parts and will
stay here until his plane is again
ready for travel. He is from
Oakland, CAL, and served
through the war as flight in
structor at an Army Aviation
Field. After the war he was in
the Air Mail Service, flying be-
tween New York and Cleveland.
Later he purchased a plane and
is now carrying passengers and
doing national and local adver-
tising for the Standard Oil Com
pany.
He stated to the Herald that
Roanoke Rapids was on one of
the regular air routes and ex-
pressed himself as strongly in
favor of the establishment here

WELDON-ROA. RAPS.
ROAD BUILT SOON
Highway Commission to Advertise For Bids at
Once on Eighteen Foot Hard Surfaced
Road From Here to Weldon
COMMISSIONER HART HERE MONDAY

The meeting of the State High
way Commission held in Raleigh
on last Monday was attended by
Messrs. W. L. Long and Geo. l..
Hayes, Jr., of Roanoke Rapids,
and A. Mcdowell and Gershon
Hoffman, of Scotland Neck, in
the interests of highway projects
in Halifax county which have
been before the Highway Com.
mission for some time.
The project for a hard surfaced
road from Roanoke Rapids to
Weldon was informally brought
up with members of the High
way Commission, and Mr.. W. A.
Hart, of Tarboro, Highway Com
missioner for this Road District,
will come through Roanoke Rap.
ids on next Monday morning and
decide whether or not the State
will aid in extending the propos-
ed hard surfaced road through
the corporate limits of the town
of Roanoke Rapids to the foot of
the bridge across the Roanoke
river. Pressure has been, and
will continue to be exerted to in
duce Mr.. Hart to do this and Mr..
Long is confident that the State
will consent.
1t has been suggested by Mr..
S. F. Patterson, and others, that
as the State will under no cir
cumstances build a road wider
than eighteen feet that some way
be found to induce private pro-
perty owners abutting on Roa-
noke Avenue to put up sufficient
additional funds to construct two
sixteen foot hard surfaced roads
on each side of the fifty six foot
roadway on Roanoke Avenue,
leaving space in the center of
the Avenue twenty four feet
wide to be utilized as a park
way. 1t is pointed out that this
would make Roanoke Avenue a
very attractive street, eliminate
the dust problem and prevent
head-on collisions as each road
would be a one way thorough.
fare.
What ever decision may be
reached on the above question,
it is now fairly certain that
construction work on the road
to Weldon will begin shortly: in
fact, the Highway Commission
will proceed at once, according
to Chairman Page, to advertise
for bids for the construction of
this road.
The Scotland Neck people are
principally interested in getting
a bridge across the Roanoke
near Scotland Neck connecting
up the lower ends of Halifax
and Northampton counties.
There is no bridge across, the
Roanoke between Weldon and
WILLIAMSON and communication
between Scotland Neck and
places in Northampton is ex-
tremely round about. In fact
an air line from Scotland Neck
to Rich Square is only eleven
miles while the distance by road
is about seventy. The High
way Commission has promised
to do everything possible to expe-
dite the building of a steel and
concrete bridge at Edwards
Ferry.
