$1,000 FINE TAXED
AGAINST DEFENDANT
Clerk of Court Robert S. Mc
Farland announced Monday that
his office had collected nearly
$10,000 in fines and costs, levied
during the first week of court in
Polk last week.
The largest fine of the first week,
: and the second largest during his
long term of office, according to
j Mr. McFarland, was the $1,000
fine against Edward Mack Fowler,
charged with violation of the pro
hibition laws.
Fowler originally was sentenced
to two years on the roads by Judge
Q. K. Nimocks, but the case was
[ recalled Friday, and the sentence
changed to a fine. Judge Nimocks
said that since it was the first
offense for Fowler, and because so
many people had talked to him
about the case, asking him to be
more lenient, he decided to sus
pend the road sentence.
More than 160 cases were re
moved from the docket, which con
tained more than 250 cases when
court opened August 24. There
were 108 convictions, several found
not guilty, some nol prossed and
about 20 were called and failed
to appear for trial.
A total of 17 men lost their
driver’s licenses on drunken driv
ing counts, and one youth lost his
license on a second offense for
sneed-'ncr under a new North Caro
lina law passed by the last legis
lature.
Those losing their license for
drunk driving or driving after
license . was revoked were Homer
Aylcdoje. Georve W. Crocker, Ed- .
