ESTABLISHED 1899 Busy Day Reported I In The Old County] Courthouse Monday! Illegitimate Birth Report, Weird in Its Detals, Cli maxes Day for Sheriff ? It was a busy day in the county's old hall of justice Monday and es pecially in the office of the sheriff where weird crime news was heard over the radio, telephone, by word of mouth and even in poorly written letters. Attention was centered in the reg ular session of the county court, at first. A varied crime docket was heard there with a number of alleg ed tax law violations capping the calendar. The court session over, of ficers branched out and before the day was over alleged violators of the laws were being brought in first by one officer and then another. Sand wiched in with it all was a report telling of an illegitimate birth un der unusual circumstances, which someone suggested should be inves tigated. Names were closely guard ed. but unofficial reports gained out side the sheriff's office placed the deplorable event among the white population in an outlying district. A young woman, hardly more than 18 years of age. was taken ill last Fri day while her folks with the excep tion of a child brother were away working in tobacco fields. He was said to have fanned her until she ran out of the house. The child, born in the back yard, was left lying there by the mother who dragged herself back to the house The boy picked the child up. carried it into the house and ran for help. Neighbors called for a midwife. The midwife called for a doctor. Last reports stated that the mother and the little brat were getting along very well An expect ant mother, a sister of the young girl in the unusual case reported last Fri day, was said to have appealed to officers for help in running down some young man to help care for her second illegitimate child when it sees the light in this "Christian" land. The betting is ten to one, around the courthouse that there'll be more and smaller subjects for the welfare de partment now and ere long. Wrapjped up with warrants charg ing several hundred persons with failing to list their property, the sheriffs office was more like a bee hive than an "office Monday. Tax warrants were pushed into the back ground in favor of more rushing business. There was a warrant for a young man who had issued a worth less check. There was a warrant for for a young man who did not regis ter for possible military service. There was a capias calling for Ben Rogers' urrest for not having paid the cost in the case in which he was tried and found guilty of cutting a a short time ago. There were papers calling for the arrest of two or three persons who failed to answer when called in open court Monday morn ing. Prisoners were to bo ? moved from the, jail to the prison camp. ABC officers were in and out an swering calls. Two special State of ficers were in the office making ready to assist in State ABC con trol work. Several persons, thinking it best to list their property after all, were in to get their names on the books and pay their taxes. Warrants were mixed and even this morning the officers were weed ing out those papers that had been served from those yet to be served. The business was handled with dis patch. A person standing charged with a law violation either furnish ed bond or went to jail. There was no dillydallying around the court house Monday. a Three Funerals Are Held In Single Day ???

The weather may be hot and the bridge schedules may have to be maintained, but our people are re minded that war does not stop on account of hot weather and it is possible thst the shooting will not be delayed any great length of time for bridge. the meetings are designed to create good will and tighten the bonds of friendship. Business men and May or John L. Hassell will accompany the band, but the speaking will be limited to a matter of five minutes, and the concert program will last not more than 40 minutes. The entertain ment feature will be stressed and the public is cordially invited to attend the meetings. The band will meet for each of the trips except Colerain at 7:30 at the high school.
