Of Superior Court
I Garland Hewett, who moved to
a lami two miles out of 'town
from Columbus county during the
!past winter, pleaded guilty to incest
in bupenor court here
Thursday. Juuge Henry L. Stevens
sentenced him to serve 15
years in state Prison, to which
he has already been committed.
His 19 year old daughter, who
entered the same piea, was placed
on probation for two years.
Hewett's conduct with his
daughter had attracted the notice
of Heightens who gave information
to the officers. Tuesday night
of last week State Highway Patrolman
J. L. Flowers, led other
officers in a raid on the Hewett
home. Hewett came to the door j
and when the officeis entered!
they found all bedroom doors;
locked, excepting the one oc- i
cupied by tne gin. Other evidence El
was also abunuant, snowing that:
the father occupied the same room J
and bed with the girl. When
I brought to trial 24 hours later J
both enteied a plea of guilty. j
Assisting Patrolman Flowers in m,
the laid were Patrolman R. C. )j0
i Duncan, Chief of Police Otto lc
Hewett and Deputy F. Lewis. In r,
j ; open court Judge Stevens warm|

Must Get Permits
To Burn Woods
Forest Fire Warden Calls
Attention To Fact That
Law Requires The Obtaining
Of Permits Bej
fore Burning Fields And
Woods
County Forest Fire Warden
Dorman Mercer is calling the attention
01.' all land owners and
farmers to the fact that he has
strict instructions that burning
permits must be obtained in all
cases where it is intended to use
fire in clearing large or small
areas. During the dimout period
permits were not issued. With
dimout rules no longer in force
it is necessary to go back to the
controlling system of requiring
permits tiefore burning woods or
fields.
Mr. Mercer asks the cooperation
of all landowners. In addition
to their being required to
have the permits, he suggests
that they burn only in late afternoon
or night and on damp days,
when there will be little danger
of the flames spreading. Cooperation
of the public is also
asked in the matter of reporting
fires.
