MOORE COUNTY RECORDER'S COURT
Poverty Revealed In Case Of Boys
Stealing Food To Give To Familv
In Your
Grocer's Dairy Case
“100% Locally Produced”
A sad story of poverty was re
vealed in Moore Recorders Court
at Carthage recently in the
trial of a Negro father and son.
Chief Deputy Sheriff H. H.
Grimm had arrested Larry Rat
cliff, who had' just turned 16, for
breaking and entering the cafe
teria of the Academy Heights
school at Pinehurst and stealing
foodstuffs valued at less than
$25.
Grimm told the court that his
investigation revealed that Larry
and a 14-year-old brother had
taken cabbage, four pounds of
was Timothy Ratcliff, the father,
whom Grimm had indicted for
failing to support his brood. It
turned out the father and mother
were separated. The father said
he contributed around $15 per
week but the children ate all
they wanted.
A pine-year-old daughter testi
fied for her father, sasdng that
he brought them food.
Judge J. Vance Rowe, however,
found Timothy Ratcliff guilty of
non-support of his nine minor
children, and gave him three
months on the roads, suspendted
younger children in the family,
as there was no food in the
house.
The deputy said the mother
and an 18-year-old son worked
at a Pinehurst hotel, that there
were eight other children rang
ing from Larry on down to a
small baby, and that the father
contributed only occasionally.
He said that, when he traced
the stolen food to the Ratcliff
home, the younger children had
eaten all the peanut butter and
three pounds of the butter, that
he found nothing else in the
house to eat, nor any adult with
the children.
