FRIDAY. OCTOBER 29. 1954 THE PILOT. Southern Pines. North Carolina PAGE FIVE ft Sanford Man Is Indicted On Two Charges Tuesday A Sanford man who seriously wounded a State College fresh man after a holdup at a motel north of Raleigh on the night of October 18 was indicted by the grand jury in Chatham County Superior Court Tuesday afternoon on charges of kidnaping and as sault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. Paul M. Fulton, 30, who has been held in jail at Pittsboro since shooting Donald Edward Johnson, 18, of Raleigh, at Avents Ferry Bridge, will be tried at a future term of Chatham County Superior Court. Johnson remains in Memorial Hospital J** Chapel Hill, where he was taken for treatment of sev eral bullet woimds. One buUet was removed Monday and sent to the SBI in Raleigh for a ballistics report. Sheriff D. F.. Holder of Lee County said Tuesday that a .22 calibre pistol found in Johnson’s car had been identified by Lynn Pearce of Bragg Street in Sanford as having been stolen from his home. Pearce said that two .22 calibre pistols, along with change from a piggy bank, were taken. Sheriff Holder said no charge had been preferred pending cona- pletion of his investigation. He said a cabbie had revealed taking Fulton to the vicinity of Fairfield Motor Court on U. S. 1 north of Raleigh late in the afternoon of the day of the shooting. Sheriff John W. Emerson Jr. of Chatham County, who has been assisting Sheriff Holder with the Lee County investigation, said he had not received a report on whether the bullet taken from Johnson’s body had been fired from the weapon Pearce identi fied as his. Sheriff Emerson said that grand jury action is being considered in Wake Coimty against Fulton. Fulton went to Fairfield Motor Court and asked Johnson for a room and was told there were no vacancies. Next he told Johnson he wanted to rent a room for a week and Johnson told him he would have to see the motel oper ator, who was away. Johnson told officers that Ful ton pulled a .22 calibre pistol from his coat and ordered Johnson to open the locked cash drawer, from which Fulton removed $50 and $75. “I need a (?ar,” Johnson quoted Fulton as saying.. Johnson took Fulton to his own car parked nearby, and Fulton, still holding the pistol, ordered Johnson to get under the wheel. Fulton later took the wheel, ordered Johnson to drink beer against his will, and they finally reached the bridge. Fulton fired several times into Johnson’s mid-region and when Fulton got out of the car, John son managed to take control and drive it three quarters of a mile without lights to a farmhouse, where he sought help. Fulton lat er appeared on *the scene and Wade Johnson, armed with a shot gun, held him at bay after the young man identified Fulton as his assailant. & QUALITY PRINTING TICKETS FOLDERS BLOTTERS BOOKLETS HANDBILLS ENVELOPES BILL HEADS STATEMENTS LETTERHEADS LEGAL BLANKS WINDOW CARDS BUSINESS CARDS PAY ENVELOPES CHARGE TICKETS SOCIAL STATIONERY WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENTS ILOT Law Disqualifies Cameron Farmer As ASC Chairman Disqualification of J. Alton Shaw of Cameron, Route 1, newly elected chairman of the Moore County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee ap peared likely this week, in view of a regulation prohibiting elec tion to an ASC office of any per son holding a political office. Mr. Shaw is chairman of the Cameron Democratic precinct committee. The new ASC chairman was elected last week at a meeting of farmer delegates from the nine rural communities (townships) of the county. If he does not serve, Earl lyiartin of Eagle Springs, elected vice-chairman last week, would move up to chairman, it is understood. Sam Dillon of Jack- son Springs, regular member, would become vice-chairman; aiid Norman Cagle of Carthage, who was elected alternate, would then become regular member of the committee. New ASC committee members are slated to take office Novem ber 1. Until that date, the office remains in charge of Joe A. Cad- dell of Carthage, retiring chair man. The county committee is au thorized under ASC regulations to appoint office personnel. Wal ter I. Fields of Carthage is the present office manager. When the new committee is fully or ganized, it will make the office appointments. Community Committeemen Counting of ballots in the elec tion of community committeemen in the nine communities was com pleted last week. Five persons were elected in each community in mail balloting, from a list of nominees chosen by farmers themselves in previous meetings. In each community, a chairman, vice-chairnian, regular member and two alternates were chosen, the persons elected being those who had the highest number of votes, in that order. Here are the committees, with membership listed in the order given above: McNeill—J. M. Kelly, Herman County Library Now Observing 10th Anniversary Ten years ago this week, as a result of unremitting efforts by the late A. B. Yeomans of South ern Pines, Mrs. J. M. Guthrie of Cameron and others, the Moore County Library ■ became a reality when Mrs. Dorothy H. Avery of Morganton reported for work. A graduate in Library Science from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, Mrs. Avery had helped organize the Morganton Public Library and, immediately prior to coming to Moore County, was doing recrea tional work with the patients at the State Hospital in Morganton. Around November 1, 1944, an agreement was reached between the County Library and Southern Pines Library Assn., whereby the latter would allow its building and facilities to be used as head quarters for the county library service. This has worked to mu tual advantage ever since. A bookmobile to carry reading matter to residents of small towns and rural areas of the county was the dream of the library trustees but, due to World War II, was not to become a reality until 1948. During those four years, however, Mrs. Avery loaded the trunk and back seat of her own car with a carefully-chosen collection of books and began her work throughout the county, In April, 1948, a Chevrolet panel-bcdy truck especially fitted to carry books on outside shelves, was purchased through the Li brary Commission in Raleigh and ran some 45,000 miles before it was superseded in January of this year by a large “Vanette” book mobile of the walk-in type. Through the headquarters li brary in Southern Pines, through an active branch in Carthage, and from the bookmobile some 65,000 volumes were circulated in the year ending June 30, 1954. W. Stuart Evans is chairman Of the Moore County Library Board. Archie Kelly is treasurer. Other members of the board axe Mrs. home of the deceased. Other survivors include a son, R. C. Greer of Spartanburg, and a daughter, Mrs. H. S. McAfee of Charlotte. Mr. and Mrs. Morris E. Greer left immediately after receipt of the news Saturday and remained in Greenville until after the fu neral and burial services.

Pearson Menoher, chairman. To date $6,354.78 has been reported.

FOR RESULTS USE THE Pt LOT’S CLASSIFIED COLUMN. Over 60 persons, mostly teach ers in the Southern Pines and Pinehurst schools and their guests, gathered in the cafeteria of the Southern Pines school Tuesday night to hear A. B. Gib son, superintendent of the Laur- inburg schools and co-chairman with A. C. Dawson', Jr., local su perintendent, of the legislative committee of the North Carolina Education Association, speak on proposed school legislation in the 1955 General Assembly. Lynn H. Ledden, president of the Southern Pines NCEA unit, welcomed guests and presided The barbecue supper was served by members of the school Home Economics department, under di rection of Mrs. Doris Story, home ec teacher. After discussing the four-part program of legislation advanced by the United Forces for Educa tion, Mr. Gibson pointed out that people outside the schools should be urged to work for this program because they have more influence on legislators than do school per sonnel; that he anticipates the segregation issue will be used as amexcuse not to do a lot of things for education; and that although revenue is supposedly down in North Carolina, the state can pay for a good educational program if it wants to, in view of the fact that last year the people of the state spent more, per person, on liquor, and also on tobacco, than they did for education. The four-part program of the United Forces includes: 1. Strengthening the compul sory attendance law; clerical as sistance for principals; additional allotments of teachers for special services. 2. An increase in state appro priations for operational cost of schools. 3. A $2,100 to $4,100 pay scale for teachers with “A” certificates 4. A two-week extension of em ployment for teachers and princi pals. E. C. Greer, Faiher Of Local Man, Passes E. C. Greer, 77, of Spartanburg, S. C., father of Morris E.
