Sheriff Brooks, accompanied by deputies Clayton, Oliver and Gentry, early Tuesday morning captured one of the biggest stills ever seen in these parts. The still was located a few miles south of Moor’s Mill in the southern end of the County, and was prepared to do business on a big scale. A smaller still also was taken at the same time. The officer captured a white man named Cothran, after being chased for more than a mile by Mr. Clayton. One thousand gallons of beer and five gallons of liquor were seized and will be poured out.
From the front page of the Roxboro Courier, April 15, 1925. Moor’s Mill or Moore’s Mill?? Original article spelled it “Moor’s.”
