From the Hickory Daily Record,
May 2, 1917
Sheriff J.A. Triplett of Caldwell County, according to the
Lenoir News, probably has the distinction of being the only man in North
Carolina to remove a blockade still from a river by means of a gig used in
elevating frogs from streams. The officer was after frogs and stuck his prongs
into the water after a big croaker when it struck a 40-gallon copper still. The
catch was satisfactory.
