Monkey Rum Makes Bad
Men Over at Mamie
Reports of wild doings as a result of home made Monkey Rum
come from Mamie, which is near Powells Point in Currituck county.
Mrs. Lily Gray, a widow living alone with two children, was
run out of her cottage by a crowd of drunken men Saturday night. The woman fled
barefooted and in her night clothes to the home of Truxton Sykes, a Negro,
where she took refuge for the night.
Under the influence of home-made liquor, a gang of white men
have been spreading terror in that locality lately. A number of crude stills
are reported in operation in the neighborhood.
