Break-ins Keep Duplin Co. Sheriff's
Officers Busy For Past Seven Days
The past seven days have been
busy cries for the Duplin County
Sheriff's Department.
Sheriff Ralph Miller said the tro
uble started with several break-ins
at Beulaville last week end. The
Western Auto Store was entered and
an 808-pound safe removed. The safe
was located on highway 24 with the
bottom cut rut. An ax had been
used. Investigation is continuing.
The corterils of the safe were not
known' exactly. Several finger prints
were removed from the safe.
William's Super Market was en
tered and $20.46 removed from the
cash register. The cash register
drawer had been left open, accord
ing to Sherilt Miller.

the same persons are involved in
the Beulaville break-ins. In Rich

Ford Motor Company were entered.
H A. Parker's Store, at Bowden
on Highway 117, was entered Tues
day night. "We found a very good
set of finger prints and one good
paim print," Sheriff Miller said.
Merchandise was taken from the
store.
Parker's Store has been the tar
get of many break-ins over the past
several months. . One thing which
makes entering Parker's Store a lit
tle different is that it is also the
Post Office for Bowden. Deputies T.

Do you desire to maintain your
cotton history and allotment? This,
according to Rufus Elks, Jr., Office
Mgr. for the Agricultural Stabiliza
tion and Conservation County Com
mittee, is an important question
which every farmer should ask him
self within the next lew weens.
Farm cotton allotments will be
reduced where the farmer fails to
plant at least 75 percent ot his allot
ment or where he fails to release
his allotment to the county commi
ttee. For farmers who plan to piani
their allotment, no action is needed,
tinwavor uihprp the farmer knows
that he will not plant 75 percent of
his allotment, he can help himself
and at the same time help other
farmers in the county by releasing
oiwmont far reaDDortionment.
If the cotton allotment is released;

sign up early for needed Federal assistance.
