Defendant Was Not 'Quarreling' Hoy Wade, 812 Fisher St., who was in Morehead City court last week to answer to charges brought against him by Alfred W. Smith Jr., told THE NEWS-TIMES Tues day that he didn’t have any “quar rel” with Smith, as reported in the paper. Mr. Wade said, and evidence in court bore out his story, that he was walking along the street mind ing his own business when Smith rushed out of a house and cussed him. Mr. Wade said Smith hit him, so in retaliation he grabbed Smith around the neck and shoved the blade of a pocket-knife (which he had been using to whittle a cedar stick) against Smith’s back. Smith wiggled free and the blade scratched him across the back. Smith then returned to his house. When officers arrived, he threat ened them and shoved a pistol in the face of Capt. Carl Bunch, the officers said. The officers charged Smith with disturbing the peace, assault on an officer with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest. He was put un der suspended sentence and fined. Mr. Wade was found not guilty of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. The court was told that prior to Smith’s rushing after 'Wftde, Smith had ;been having a fries with Itfs Former Resident Fined in Sanford Joe Zajac, formerly of Salter Path, was one of four managers of Sanford cluba given suspended sentences and fined $1,000 each Tuesday.

Arraigned in Lee county court in addition to Orville Kirck, Mr. Zajac and Edgar LeClerc, was Roy Sutphin. None of the men contested charges of violating the gambling and liquor laws. Most of County's Cropland Last Year Was Used to Grow Soybeans Soybeans planted for beans con stituted the largest crop in the county In 1960, according to infor mation in the farm census taken in January and released in Ra leigh this week. Of all crops harvested, 26 per cent were soybeans; corn consti tuted 19 per cent, hay crops 19 per cent, vegetables for sate 14 per cent, tobacco 9 per cent, small grains 9 per cent and other crops 9 per cent. Farmland in the county totals 99,997 acres of which 12 per cent in 1990 was in harvested cropland, • per cent in pasture, 2 per cent ♦ By WALTER PHILLIPS “I don’t believe I’d want any of U,” was the reply of Cecil Nelson, Harkers Island, to the question as to what political office, such as congressman, senator, town com missioner, President of the United States or any other office he would choose—given the choice. Tobe Clawson, Beaufort, said: “I’d want the one that had the least work in it!” In Morehead City, Duffy Guthrie and Miss Lyda Piner gave similar answers. Mr. Guthrie said: "I would take town commissioner in my category, so I could be of serv ice to my town and neighbors.” Miss Piner's answer was that she wanted to start off on the local level and see what she could do there. Mrs. Richard Babcock’s com ment in Beaufort was, “I’d choose a local office so I could get some experience.” Aiming a little higher, Sam Adler, Morehead City, said he would rather be a senator. Giving his reason, he said, “Most of the finances have to be passed by the senate and proposed by Congress, and I’d rather be one who is hold ing the strings.” Mrs. L. B. Willis at Bettie also said she would choose senator. “I think you would have more oppor tunity to be of more service to more people than if you had a local office,” she said. Luther Hamilton, Morehead City, already a state senator, said he would prefer to be in one of the judicial or legislative branches of the government. “I don’t think I’d choose Presi dent in these days,” he said. “What I would choose is an office I’ve held before—that of judge. That’s one of the finest offices any lawyer can hold, but after you get up around a certain age, I’d rather stick around here,” he concluded. Called just before she and her family moved to Cherry Point to live, Mrs. Adam Metz in Beaufort said’: “I wouldn’t choose any of fice because I don’t like politics. I’m just not the type,” she said. There’s one thing about it . . . if you want an elective public of fice you’ve got to put your per sonality and character on the line. Do people like you or don’t they? It takes a lot of that four-letter word not mentioned in polite so ciety: guts.
