Correspondence of the Robesonian

Maxton, August 8—A copper still was recently captured on the Baker place near Maxton by Deputy Sheriff W.W. Smith, who continues his activities against blockading in this section. Mr. Smith was fortunate enough in this instance to also capture the operator of the still. A quantity of beer—300 gallons—as a part of the haul made on this raid.

Another still—this a box still—was also captured during the week with 200 gallons of beer.

Thursday night a Buick roadster belonging to Mr. Gus Hasty of this place was stolen. It was located during the day in Fayetteville, where it had been driven by two Laurinburg boys, Fred Thompson and Walter Stokes.
