Dickerson Being Tried For Shooting J. A. Cox; Only a One Week Term j Declaring that the year 1942 j1 is liable to be recorded ()y hUtor-ij ians as t'he most important of any,' in the history of the United Stat- ' es, Judge Leo Carr, of Burling-!1 ton, opened his charge to the/ Grand Jury Monday morning at-) ter convening the regular Febru ary Term of Franklin Superior 1 Court for t-he trial of criminal 1 cases. He told of the countries ' upholding Democracy, combining their resources to maintain the Democratic plan of government. 1 When we realize the willingness/ of the people to make these sac-1 rlflces. he said. It becomes more ' necessary that we Just4fy the exis tence of these Institutions fori' which we make these sacrifices.; Therefore it is your duty as offi cers of the Court to conduct your selves and your findings so that 1 the public will have more confi dence and fait-h in the Democrat-' Ic plan of government. He told them that originally the grand jury found the Mils and trtetf tlse criminals, but in organizing this country Ui? plau wan changed so, you now just find the bills to foe true or not true." He then ex-' plained the Democratic method of drawing our juries, and the duMes of grand jurors. He dis cussed, the violation of tlwe pro hibition law and the importance of its enforcement. Then he took 1 up the law against gambling, | classifying gamblers with thieves,' stating that the business of both was to get something for nothing. 1 only that- the gamhler was willing : to pay a little for the chance. He classified road houses as possibly the most destructive to moral character we have, many of them operate under the name of filling stations and become a nuisance,/ the worst of which was the ordt-l nary dine and dance house, with ' obscene literature the next worst. The traffic laws, he said, should be enforced. During Wie first eleven months in 1941 twice as many persons were killed in North Carolina accidents than was killed from North Carolina In the World War 1. He classi fied reckless drivers as fifth col umnists who should be suppress ed. Most accidents, be said, are crimes and not accidents, and are caused by negligence of some one. He- then told them of the general investigations they should make. The charge was unusually in teresting because of the great variance from most* charges and splendid line of thought express ed. Following tne charge tne grand Jury composed of S. C. Fos-J ter, Jr., J. M. Pearce, Sidney Gup ton. B. B. Shearon. J. H. King. H. H. Utley, J. J. Cooper, R. E.I Butin and H. M.

Mullen, newly drawn, retired to their room. W. P. Wilson was appointed Foreman, and O. C. Parrlsh, Officer. Solicitor W. Y. Bickett was present and ably represented the State. Cases taken up were as follows: J. R. Frye was granted a di vorce from Rut>h E. Frye. Sam Smith was found guilty of operating an automobile Intoxi cated and reckless driving, and was given 4 months on roads, sus pended upon payment of $50 and costs. The State took a nol pros in the case of larceny of an automo bile against Charlie Moseley. Clarence Pace was found not guilty of operating an automobile intoxicated. Lorenza Debnam was found guilty of manslaughter, in the shooMng of Foster Splvey at Youngsville some time ago. Sen tence had not been passed at noon yesterday when our report closed.

The Russians declared officially today that 2.800 more Germans had fal len on t<he snowy battlefields far west of here on the road to Smo lensk. and that the Red army Ktill was rolling ahead in its mighty winter offensive despite fierce resistance by fresh Nail t'roops. A Soviet communique announc ed the occupation of several more unidentified localities in this steady march. Including two strongly-fprtlfled points. At one of Miese points, 1,800 Germans fell after being outflanked, and at the second 1,000 were killed outright, the communique said.

("The enemy is putting up a fierce resistance. He is doing everything in his power to stem our advance by powerful fortifi cations, by a hurricane of fire, and by minefields.
