C. 1 SECTION — 10 PAGES 10c PER COPY UM PER Yf:AE c:/l-cLUncla - - By The Editor Figures appearing in an article about some of the Carolina Tele phone and Telegraph Company’s work in this area are quite reveal ing to those of us who keep try ing to guess how much the popu lation of Raeford has increased since the census of 1950 disclosed that we had 2,030 people inside the city limits. In 1926 there were 204 tele phones on the Raeford exchange. In 1946 there were 316, in 1953 there were 748, and now there are almost 1100. If you would assume that the gain between 1946 and 1963 was half by 1950—which it more than likely was not—you would have 532 telephones in 1950 when the population w^ 2,030. If the number of telephones per per son is the same today you would ‘have more than twice as many people today; or over 4,000. If you’ll think about it, though, you’ll remember that our local growth • didn’t really get rolling until late in 1950, so there were prob ably less than 532 phones here then, which would make the popu lation even greater today when measured by this telephone yard stick. . .what ought to be done a- long with some of this work by the company is some arranging to run the lines from the Raeford ex change out to the county line, so people can be connected with their county seat instead of with a town in another county. . .same thing applies to a lot of mail routes, too, which would serve folks better with much of their mail if they came frofp their county seat in stead of a post office across the county line. Both these things keep our county from having the togeth erness it ought to have, and keep many residents from getting full advantages from their county seat. Recorder Hears Full Docket Of Liquor Charges Temperance crusaders could have had a field day at the weekly session of Hoke County’s Record er’s Court Tuesday for there were no less than eleven cases involv ing liquor. Judge Harry Greene presided over the all-day session of court. Thad Bain, colored, was charged with being drunk and disorderly and using profane and indecent language. He was found not guilty.

Judge Greene sus pended the sentence on the pay ment of costs. For carrying a con cealed weapon, Purcell was senten ced to 60 days on the roads sus pended on the payment of $25 and costs.

Saturday night, a locked pack house on the farm of Cline Boyles was broken into and about 250 pounds of tobacco were stolen. The Boyles farm is near Dundarrach. R. D. Strother, whose farm is in the Five Points section, reported the loss of about 150 or 200 pounds from his pack house Friday night. The tobacco was taken across a field to a road where it was appar ently loaded on a vehicle for trans portation. Sheriff D. H. Hodgin and the rural policemen have been workinc on the thefts. Hodgin slated that farmers should take care that pick ed cotton is taken out of the field and to the house at the end of the day. He ad^cd that althoueh the tobacco season is nearly over, cot ton is still being harvested and farmers should make sure no cot- tke last membership drive of the Raeford Chamber of Commerce.
