Two brothers of Coats, Route 1,
drew fines in Dunn " Recorders
Court today for assaulting Conray
Byrd, 17, also of Coats, after he
was caught out with a girl to whom
one of the defendants was engaged:'
Wilson Carroll Barbour, chat*-,
ed with assault and damage to
personal property, drew a 80-day
sentence, suspended for two yean
on payment of 835 and court cost.
His brother, George Durwood Bar
bour, was given a 30 day sentence
suspended for two years on pay
ment of SSO and court cost, and.
payment of $5 and to Byrd. -Bar
bour was charged with assault with
a deadly weapon and inflicting
serious bodily Injuries.
Byrd testified that he passed
the Barbour brothers on the car
with-- Sherrill Bass, DOnn; and
Shelton Barefoot, Dunn, and that
they'followed him from Erwin to
Dunn.
With Byrd . were Shirley Smith
of Dunn; Leon McLamb. Coats,
Route one: and Annette Faye Hod
ges. . 1
Testimony indicated that George
Durwood Barbour had been en
gaged to Shirley Smith, and that
he saw her with Byrd and follow
ed them, _ •
The case took an odd twist
•when’ Judge Strickland told soli
citor J. Shepard Bryan that he
should draw a warrant against
Barefoot who was 'driving the car
on the night of the fight:'However,
after giving Barefoot a bound lec
ture, he was dismissed. "" —
The Barbour brothers plead guil
ty to assault, but not with a dead
ly weapon. Byrd had alleged that
George Durwood hit him with a
blackjack. However, the Barbouis
denied the use of anything but
their fists.
In addition to testimony in the
assault case. Officer Buddy Jack
son added wood to the fire when
he told the court that George Dur
wood has given the police trouble
on other occasions. He said that’
h e often comes to Dunn' late at
night and roams the street;.
Policeman Paul StogsdUl stated
that George Durwood told him Byrd
would “drop the charges, or I’ll
beat the hell out of him.”
Byrd’s father requested Judge
Strickland to guarantee his son
some protection in the fuiure. He
said he would be afraid for his
son to go out at night. The Judge
assured him that any further
trouble from the Barbours and
they weald go to jail.

ther he would vote for or against
Ammons, adding, “I haven’t told
anybody how I would vote -this time."
Chairman Tart said today that
he was under the impression that
Lasater had “softened up” to some
extent in his opposition to Ammons.
Ammons is regarded as one of the
best county . farm agents In the
State and last year was honored at
a national meeting of farm agents
as one of the outstanding agents
in the South.
Last year, Lasater made a motion
that the office of county agent'
be declared vacant, but failed to re
ceived a second to his motion.
'He then made a motion that Am
feions be replaced. That motion
also died for lack of a second.
A special meeting was held on
June 11, attended by a large dele
gation from all sections of the coun
ty, and Ammons was reappointed.
SFCRET VOTE HELD
Commissioners voted secretly on
the appointment, but it was- learned
that Chairman Tart, Worth Lee
Byrd and R. L. Mangum voted for
Ammons and Commissioners Lasa
ter and Ingram voted against Am
mons.
Chairman Tart* said today that
under the law the board could act
on the appointments anytime dur
ing the month of June. However,
this is the first time that the ap
pointment was not brought up for
action at the first meeting In June.
Prominent farm spokesman said
today they are ready to stage an
other mass meeting, If necessary,
to convince the county board that
fanners of the county favor re
tention of Ammons.
In opposing Ammons last time.
Commissioner Lasater argued that
farmers of the county had not
received the instruction in agri
cultural practices that they should

Jernigan Insurance
Trials Are Delayed
Trial of the Houston Jernigan cases, set for Thursday
morning in Harnett Superior Court ,was postponed by
Judge Joseph J. Parker until the October term of court.
Mrs. Alberta Jernigan of Dunn
is seeking to collect policies total
ing $380,000 In the alleged death
of her husband, who was report
edly swept out to sea and drowned
while fishing from a pier during
a hurricane at Wrightsville Beach
last Auguse 13th.
His body has never been found
and insurance companies,' con' *•?
tending he is stiH alive, have re
fused to pay off insurance claims.
Suits have been filed against about
a dozen different' companies.
The request for continuance was
made by Attorneys Julius Smith,
Harrell Pope, John Allen McLeod
and Max McLeod, representing Jef
ferson Standard Insurance - Com
pany.
INSISTS ON TRIAL
Duncan C. Wilson, chief coun
sel for Mrs. Jernigan, objected
to the delay and insisted on im.
mediate trial, but Judge • Parker
admonished him and declared,
“I’ve never known of an important
civil case being tried within five
months of its institution and some
times it takes a year or two.” The
suits were not brought until last
December.
Insurance company attorneys
claimed they could - not* receive’ a
fair trial in Harnett because of
widespread publicity given the cas
es in the county. ,
Judge Parker observed that the
case has received state-wide pub
licly and pointed out that, “Even
in my home county of Bertie many
people hold differences .of opinion
about this ease.”

other county.
STILL PROBING
Some of the cases have already
been removed to Federal Court on
the grounds of diversity of citizen
ship since they involve out-of-state
.companies and involve more than
$3,000.
Insurance company lawyers
pointed out that they are still
investigating what they refer to
as “the mysterious and well-con
ceived plan for the disappearance
of Jernigan,” and said they have
witnesses who saw a man come out
of the water after Jernigan re.
portedly had fallen or was swept
.off the pier.
Judge Parker pointed out that
the only question Involved is whe
ther or not Jernigan is alive or
dead and expressed belief the In
surance company lawyers should
.be given opportunity’ to explore
every possibility in the case before
being rushed into trial.
Also involved is the’ condition
of Jernlgan’s estate. Last week,
Attorney J.'Shepard Bryan of Dunn
representing Jemigan’s creditors,
filed a petition in Federal Coqrt
asking that this estate’ be thrown
into bankruptcy. He claims Jemi
gan did not make payments to
creditors as agreed on with the
court snd that SBO,OOO life insur
ance made payable to the estate
for protection of the creditors had
been wrongfully changed to make
Mrs. Jernigan the beneficiary with
out the approval of the qourt or
the creditors.
Bryan said the . continuance
would enable him to proceed with
-bankruptcy action.
