Still Hot When Captured; Thought to
Be Making Run to Celebrate
for Big June

Deputy-sheriff Walter Stringer,
assisted by Deputies Wiley Burgess
and Walter Phillips capture a 75-gal-
Ion still near the Wagner school,
Thursday.
The still was reported to be one of
the biggest and most lavishly furn-
ished stills ever captured in this Sec
ton. It had probably been in opera
ton for only two or three months and
it had scarcely had the new worn off.
The still was hot when captured
but the owners fled and no arrests
were made. 600 gallons Of beer were
poured out. It was thought that the
unusually heavy amount of the intoxi-
eating fluid was to have been sold
out at the Big June. However, it did
not reach its destination and in spite
Of the large crowd at Senter, it was
one of the quietest and best behaved
that has been there in years.

NORTH CAROLINA ASKED TO
HURRY PLANS FOR BEGINNING
ON WORK RELIEF PROGRAM
Doughton and Weaver Confer Over
Legal Sn4-l That Has Arisen;
May ostpone Work

After Representatives Doughton
and Weaver hSd conferred Monday
with attorneys of the Interior de-
partment over the legal snarl that
has developed relative to beginning
work on the park to park highway in
to North Carolina, it was revealed
that such may be postponed for some
time.
The contract on the first IL miles
from the Virginia state line into
North Carolina was to have been
awarded Wednesday, but now it may
be deferred. It appears that follow
ing the decision of the United States
Supreme Court holding the NRA in
valid, that the Federal constitutional
: microscope is being focused on every
sNew Deal law passed. One of the at
torneys in the legal division of the
PWA has just raised the question
that since the word parkway" is
mentioned only once in the Recovery
Act some doubt may exist whether
$4O,OO0,OOO can be expended on a
highway 200 feet wide into new ter
ritory.
Again the solicitor of the Depart
ment of the Interior is concerned over
the case brought against State COM
mission of conservation and develop
ment of the State of Virginia by
Robert N. Vie, who owns an estate in
the Shenandoah National park. In
this caes, which was recently tried in
the district court of the United
States, IA the western district of Vir-
ginia, the petition of Mr.. Vie was
dimissed. However he has brought the
case to the Supreme Court of the
United States for final determination.
1t involves the question as to whether
or not the State of Virginia can exer-
else the right of eminent domain for
the purpose of acquiring lands to be
transferred to the United States gov
eminent Cor park purposes. Tia pssti-
ton in that case contends that the
/ State could only acquire lands for its
own use and attacks the constitution
atty of legislation Of the State of
Virginia comforting the power Of emf
nent domain for this purpose. The
probability is that the Attorney Cen
eral will be asked by the solicitor of
the Interior departemnt for an opin-
ion for the guidance of the Secretary
of the Interior on the subject and this
will cause delay.
Mr.. Weaver and Congressman
Doughton will cooperate with Sena-
tor Bailey and Senator Reynolds, and
other members Of the North Carolina
delegation, and also with certain
members of the Virginia delegation
however in an effort to prevent any
delay on account of this situation.
