i - - — - ' • VOICE OF FREEDOM guardian OF LIBERTY News- home The Hoke County Journal rm4* S2.0e PER TEAR ADDENDA By The Editor DR. F. CROSSLEY MORGAN is making a deep and lasting im pression on all who hear him at the Presbyterian clm^eh. Consen sus of opinion seems to 5e4^t he is ab out the deepest thinking and most logical exponent of the Bible to speak iin these parts in many a day. He makes talks at ten a.m. and eight p.m. today, tomorrow and Sunday. Handle 14 Cases In Recorder’s Court Tuesday MAD DOG ENTERS STORE; BUSINESS PICKS UP YOU ARE INTERESTED in the questionnaire on page four about schools in North Carolina. This questionnaire,was prepared, by the State Education Commission and completed ones returned will be used, as a basis for recommend ations to the General Assembly on needed action regarding North , Carolina schools. Here is a chance to stick your oar in where iit will move a little water, perhaps. You might consider it a duty as well as a chance if you think about it a little. . THE INSPECTION LANE will operate here through tomorrow, after which it will depart for Elizabethtown for a stay of several weeks. If will then be in Fayette ville, a while and will return here on May 18 and remain until June 11. Business has been somewhat slow the past few days, it being ' human nature to do nothing to day that will wait until tomorrow. Of course, toward the end of Ihe year youTl have to wait in line a lot longer to have yobr car in spected than you will now, .be cause you aren’t the only one put ting*^ otf. In Recorder’s courty Tuesday morning Acy Cummings, Indian, and John AUsbrook, colored, were charged with breaking and enter ing the smokehouse of Harold Chason and stealing some meat. Cummings was also charged with doing'the same at John Chason’s smokehouse. Probable cause was found and both were ordered held for Superior cout under bond of $150 each. Isaac Davis and his wife, Eliza beth Davis, were found guilty of violating the prohibition laws. Davis got six months to be sus pended on payment of $2'5 and the costs and his wife got 30 days to be suspended on payment of the costs. Claude* L. Burris, white truck driver of Lexington,, and John W. Bridges, white truck driver of Charlotte, each forfeited' a $25 bond when he failed to appear for trial for speeding. ' Edgerton Davis, colored, paid, the costs for .being drunk and, dis- j orderly. , James Rouse, white, was charg ed with cutting Paul Grooms with a knife with intent to kill him. He was found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon and sentence of six months was to be suspended on payment of $50 and the costs and $100 to Paul Grooms. A. Earl Jones, white, was charg ed with giving a bad check to the Dundarrach Trading company. He paid the check anfd the costs. James L. Teague, white, got 90 days to be suspended on payment A mad dog, or at least one that acted that way caused no little excitement in Israel Mann’s store last Saturday morning, what with more customers than usual and the floor being filled with counters, the way dry goods stores are. With the dog and the customers and clerks running and hollering the whole affair sounds like some crazy movie scene. The animal was finally done in with a piece of pipe, however, and a little later was put away for keeps when Police Chief Meeks shot him. In addition to a bunch of scared peo ple Mr. Mann suffered a bullet hole in one of a new pair of shoes and in a new fixture, as well as blood spots orf^fhe floor. Funny now, maybe, but not then.

Brigman, also white, got the same Sfentence for the _same offense. Garland' Moore, white truck driver from Florida, was found not guilty of parking improperly on the highway. Roy Dial, Indian, paid the costs for being drunk and disorderly. Robert Kisler, white, entered a plea of guilty of assaulting H. L. McMinis with a deadly weapon. Sentence of six months was to be suspended on payment of the costs and $150 to McMinis and 2 years good behaviior. . 0 GILES YEOMANS NEWTON, Gibson farmer ani lawyer who has been, running for Congress from' this district since 1938, is .again a candidate, few will be sur prised to learn. He was the last mafi'-to file with the State Board tff flections before filing time clos-ed last Saturday at six o’clock. He filed at 5118. ^ Rufus Sanders and son, Paul Sanders, ' white, were jailed at about two a.m. last Sunday follow ing what must have been a rather violant disagreement at Bill's Club on the Fayetteville roar'. Rufus was charged with being drunk and disorderly and Paul was enlarged with carrying a concealed weapon and assault with a deadly weapon. Sheriff Hodgin says the way he got the story from those present was that Rufus got into an argu ment wiith three men sitting in a car and that Paul took his'part, flashing a pistol. Bill "Wright, pro prietor of the place, came out and got into iit, and Paul pulled the trigger on him, the sheriff said, but the weapon failed to fire. WriigM then got in close to Paul and grabbed him, during which scuffle the gun was fired through Wright’s clothing twice. The sheriff says he understands that Wright then got the help of some soldier and brought the two to town where they were turned over to town officers and carried to the jail in the tdwn car by the time he and Deputy Harry Dees had got r'own town. Both were released under bond Sunday and trial is now set for next Tuesday. 0 Batt^y A, local anti-aircraft •unit of the National Gpard which was officially organize: and Fed erally recognized March 10, 1947, will get its first .-Vnnual Armory Inspection by an inspector general of the Regular Army at the armory here on Monday, April 5, 1948.

Gregg Cherry opening the 13th annual state-wide Easter Seal campaign for crippled children by purchasing the first sheet of seals from pretty little Jeanne Pearman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Pearman of Golds boro. A cripple since birth, little Jeanne can neither stand nor walk. She cannot attend school. The 1947 Legislature passed a bill 'providing special classes for children handi capped like Jeanne, but, unfortunately teachers trained in the specializeisl'iWs to conduct such classes were not avail able. But JedRe^and i^cr handicapped children will get a chance later on, for the North Carolina League for Crippled Children, which is conducting the Easter Seal campaign, and the University of North Carolina are now training teachers for such classes in five centers throughout the state.

If you wish to have this work done, your request should be signe.i and the deposit made as soon as possible at the AAA office in Raeford. All re quests and deposits must be in the County Office by April 15. The amount to be deposited will be figured at the rate of 50c per acre on that acreage which you wish to have laid off. There will be a minimum charge 6f $2.00 per farm. It is expected that you will determine just where you want to plant the crop before the Reporter comes to the farm and that you will have a supply of stakes ready. A poll of 90,000 parents and school patrons in every county in North Carolina is being conducted this week by the State Education Commission in its “grass roots” study of education in the state. Parents of ninth and twelth grafders are being asked ^heir opinions on the public schools organization, administration and finance, curriculum and instruc tion, instructiional personnel and pupil services. Questionnaires are being dis- triibuted .by superintendents, prin cipals anid teachers in the city and county schools. The study will in clude opinions of parents of sixth graders in the 16 selected cities and counties in which the Educa tion Commission is making special surveys. Questionnaires have been sent to civic clubs and other oigan- ized groups. • Some of the results will be an- noiiiced at a meeting of the Com mission on April 3 in Ralciigh. They will be used as a part basis for a report by the Education Commission to the Governor and the 1949 General Assem,bly. Parents are being queried a- mong other things, as to their opinion on the number of students a teacher should have; their wil lingness to pay -higher taxes if better schools are desired; and on the reason for children dopping out of school at an early age. 0 The pre-school clinics began on in District Number 1, while the ■ Monday of this week when Dr. high school teachers -remain the ; Willcox held the first ones at same.
