OK.  Here's one I don't know.  Gordon, sure hope there's more to this story, starting with "what the heck is a 'coal crapper'?

Moonshine Coal Dealers
    There was something doing at the Graham courthouse last night, when the Baldwin detectives, with Police Sergeant Hall, of Graham, brought before the mayor about fifteen coal crappers.  The coal business along the Norfolk and Western tracks seems to be booming again after some few months of waiting for the recent fines to be forgotten.
