Williams, 64-year-old white farmer, who was tried this week in Halifax County Superior Court on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, was sentenced by Judge John J. Burney, after being found guilty, to a term of two to three years in State’s ^Pris on. The charge on which Williams was convicted grew out of the dynamiting of a tenant house on his farm in the Garner’s Cross roads section last month in which lived Mrs. Louise Brickell and her seven children. Williams claimed at the time of his arrest that he was not guilty of the dynamiting, but later con fessed to Sheriff’s officers that he committed the crime. He alleg ed that he tried to get Mrs. Brickell to move out of the house and failing in this, was only at tempting to frighten her into mov ing. None of the Brickell family were injured by the blasts but some damage to the building resulted from it. —--• " Curb Market Is Open Wednesday Curb Market is now open for the summer on Wednesday morn ings at 8:30 o’clock, and also on Saturdays as usual.
