He said he was going to greet his brother at Fayetteville, a soldier at Camp Bragg, befor ehe slept Friday night.
Young Sheets stated that he had not walked the entire distance from Toledo to Charlotte, but had been given a “lift” at various times by passing automobiles.
The youngster talked well and showed signs of a cultured home life.
