Cabins and Gold Legend From Burke County Tale
A Raleigh style legend tells how Samuel Martin, a South American gold miner, supposedly found gold near Brindle Creek in Burke County after a yellow jacket sting. The Bechtler mint near Rutherfordton produced millions in NC gold from 1831 to 1949, with Bechtler coins and ingots widely circulated. The Furniture City Coin Club plans a July 29–30 display at the Senior High School cafeteria featuring Dr. C. A. Bolt’s NC gold and Confederate bills, plus local collectors.

Career Of Outlaw Began With Theft Of Bicycle
Bonnie Moore recounts the life of Bill Payne, a Davidson County outlaw executed in 1938 for murdering state patrolman George Penn. Payne led a seven man gang with Wash Turner, began crime in the late 1920s, and fled across North Carolina after a Nor man bank robbery. Police hunted the duo statewide, with Payne and Turner eventually surrendering in Sanford on January 3, 1938, and both executed in Raleigh later that year.
