RICHARDSON PREYER
Preyer Has Day
Campaigning In
Towns Of County
Despite April showers and
cloudy skies, Richardson Preyer
was enthusiastically welcomed as
he toured Moore County Saturday
in the interest of his campaign
for the Democratic nomination
for Governor.
At Southern Pines, Csimeron,
Carthage, Eagle Springs, Jackson
Springs and West End, he found
good turnouts and friendly greet
ings. At Cameron, Eagle Springs
and Jackson Springs the ^eyer
supporters produced refreshments
for all.
Accompanying Judge Preyer on
the tour were Nolley Jackson
of Southern Pines, at the wheel;
M. G. Boyette of Carthage,
Moore County campaign manager;
Mrs. Pat Rainey of Southern
Pines, county co-manager for the
ladies; and W. C. Harris of Pine
hurst, Preyer’s brother-in-law.
At Southern Pines where the
former State and federal judge
made a brief address at the
town hall, he helped open a local
headquarters—a trailer stationed
on the 200 block of S.W. Broad

Man Killed When
Car, Truck Crash;
Arrest Expected
Tillet Leo Maness, 26, of Car
thage, Route 1, was instantly kill
ed about 11 a.m. Monday when
his car was in a head-on collision
with a five-ton poultry truck on
the Highfalls-Robbins Road, about
two miles north of Robbins.
State Trooper Ray Wicker said
the collision occurred in a por
tion of the roadway set apart
by signs reading “One-Way Traf
fic—Caution—35 MPH.” A road
machine was working on one
lane, while traffic was nmning
on the other in a light drizzle of
rain.
Wicker said Maness’s car had
passed the road machine by
some 180 feet, heading south to
ward Robbins, when the truck
driven by Wiley Robert Reynolds,
46, of Highfalls came around a
bend in the road, going toward
Highfalls.
Reynolds, who was only slight
ly hurt, told the patrolman he
hit his brake and skidded on the
wet road into the front of Ma
ness’s car. Maness was pinned in
side his 1955 Ford which was
demolished. The truck full of
empty poultry crates, was heav
ily damaged.
Moore County Coroner W. K.
Carpenter of Pinebluff, finding
that Maness died of a broken
neck and other injuries, recom
mended that Reynolds be held
for grand jury action. Wicker
said manslaughter charges would
be preferred.
Maness, married and the father
of two young children, was em
ployed by the Carthage Fabrics
Corporation Plant at Carthage.
Reynolds, a substantial farmer
and businessman of the area, is
the son of L. R. Reynolds, chair
man of the Moore County Com
missioners.
