NOVEMBER 2Z‘ 1956 The index of prices received by North Carolina farmers rose two points during the month ending' in mid-September, say marketing specialists with the North Caro lina Crop Reporting Service. Higher prices received by farm ers for tobacco, cotton, and milk were primarily responsible for the increase during the month.

US No. 1 Highway South Phone 2-7693 IN SUPERIOR COURT Conviction In Manslaughter Case Gets Man 7-Year Term Last Week Samuel Gaston Taylor, plead ing guilty to a manslaughter charge in the closing sessions of Moore criminal court last week, received a sentence of seven years in prison, suspended for five years on various conditions, the^chief one being that he pay $2,500 to the mother of his vic tim. Taylor was the driver of a car which struck and killed his 16- year-old cousin, Clato Alexander Taylor, in front of a Negro church near Carthage August 2, 1955. There was talk at the time that Taylor had “nm down” the boy on purpose though this was not indicated by trial testimony. Eye witnesses described, how ever, how the boy had tried to dodge the oncoming car, which struck him with such force his body was tossed over a hedge, falling some distance away. Taylor was also ordered to pay $290 for funeral expenses. He was to pay $150 when sentenced, then the same amount every 90 days until the full amount of $2,- 790 is paid off, carrying in the meanwhile a life insurance policy for $2,500 with Clato’s mother as beneficiary. This was one of a number of cases Judge Walter E. Crissman of High Point clicked off on the last two days of the regular term, considerably lightening the dock et. In another case, old-time liquor offender Grace King McArthur of Southern Pines pleaded hot guilty to a liquor law violation charge, then was found to have a suspended sentence hanging over her from a 1953 .court judg ment. This came as a surprise to her attorney, Joe Cox of Laurin- burg, who stopped in the midst of his pleadings to say, “Your Honor, I was never more embar rassed in my life.” The revelation was made by ABC Officer Kieth Marks in reading the woman’s record from the stand. After con siderable discussion of the matter while the jury waited, the defen dant resolved the situation by pleading guilty. She was sen tenced to 12 months in the Wom en’s Division, with the 18 months of the previously suspended sen tence also ordered into effect. Other cases disposed of: Elijah Sheffield, 'violation of liquor laws, juror withdrawn, mistrietl declared; Clifton Lane, auto larceny, four months, to be gin at expiration of sentence inow being served; Flossie Mur- ' phy, violation of liquor laws (three counts), 18 months in Women’s Division; Harold Eu gene Evans, manslaughter (care less and reckless driving causing accident and death), dismissed for lack of evidence; Jerome W. Caddell, drunk driving, $100 and costs with license revoked for 12 months; Bobby Deal, Harvey M. Dowd, Roy Bums, violation of prohibition, sentences ordered into effect (two to five years in prison for Deal on larceny charges, 12 months each for Dowd and Burns); Esther McKay Deloria, driving without license, $25 and costs; Ed McNeill, ac cepting money on false pretense, five months.
