Greensboro, March 6—H.H. Stovall, a Stokes county farmer, was today sentenced in Guilford county Superior court to serve four months on the county roads on the charge of transporting whiskey.
Stovall said that he had a fruit jar of whiskey, brought on a trip he made from his home in Stokes along with him in his wagon trip to Guilford county. He was peddling apples and he had the liquor along with him for his own use, he said. When he got to Guilford College some of the boys asked him for liquor and he would not sell it to them but gave them some to drink. His arrest came when the collage authorities heard of it.
Mr. Stovall, who resides in the Smith section, 12 miles north of Danbury, is considered a good citizen of that section, and is a hard-working, honest farmer. His neighbors say that he has never been known to deal in whiskey in any way. It is learned that he will not appeal from the sentence of the court but will serve the time on the roads.
