Sheriff Brooks and Deputies Capture Still, Pour Out 500 Gallons of Beer, Nov. 10, 1926

Still Captured Early last Tuesday morning while most of us were snugly wrapped up in sleep, Sheriff Nat Brooks and two of his deputies were busy trying to make Person County strictly a Prohibition County with the result that not so far from the Orange County line, a full-grown blockade still was captured and 500 gallons of beer were poured out on the ground. The outfit was brought to town and stored away for safe keeping. Our hats are off to these good fellows who are always on the job in the enforcement of law.
