Court (Continued From Pare l) River Township, who was guilty of having non tax paid whiskey fog, purpose of sale, drew steep fine of $500 from Judge Morgan. The Judge handed the young man a 12-months road term, which was suspended on condition Thomas pay the fine and costs and "get out of the business.” Jake Lamm, attorney for Tho mas, made a plea to reduce the fine which lie said 'was excessive.’ "He was luck to get out this light" countered the Judge who reminded Lamm (hat Thomas al ready was under a suspended term in another liquor violation case. "This man was caught at a liquor still, according to court records, but I am not invoking the road term. Yet he came back here in less than a year,” said Morgan. “There is nothing personal in this, but this is a serious offense.” The shopping center will he lo cated on the northeast corner of the Intersection of the Wak< For es!

Bragg since 1940, and he’s a big time bootlegger.” Tuesday’s Docket The alleged hammer assault on Carson Lee.

Flu Epidemic Is Possible JACKSON, Miss. OP! _ Health officials today said a flareup of 20,000 to 25,000 Asian flu cases in Mississippi "could be the begin ning” of a long-expected nation wide epidemic. The number of cases, almost one-fourth of the nation’s total, is likely to continue to increase rap idly, health officials said, hitting Hard at schools and colleges. The U S. Communicable Dis - >ase Center in Atlanta said other jutbreaks thus far have been scat ered over parts of Utah, Minne sota. Florida, Georgia and Louisi ina. In Louisiana an outbreak which las spread through 22 parishes ince summer has stricken an es imated 60,000 person, forcing lasses and athletic events to be ailed off in some schools. An outbreak hitting one-third of he Negro school enrollment in rlilledgeville, Ga., was being kecked with the laboratory to de ermine whether it is definitely isian flu. Florida health officials reported run on flu vaccine but no out reak yet. A drug house in Miami eported a huge backlog of or ers Deliveries were being made l a first-come, first-served basis. Many Write Songs But Only Few Turn Out As Hit Tunes NEW YORK (UP)—The beauty, if that's the word, of the songs we hear today is that many leave us with an “I can write ’em as good as that" feeling. Americans write songs at a rate of about 250,000 a year. Of this number, only about three or four thousand news songs are re corded. And only 50 records, on a yearly average, become big hits. About 150 others score moderately well. Out of a quarter-million songs written this year, only 25 unknown songwriters will make the hit pa rade. Nevertheless, it’s hard to shed the songwriting bug, especially when you consider the money you can make. Here’s the ideal break down: $30,000 Or More Your song sold one-million rec ords and 400,000 copies of sheet music. Your publisher would get two cents per record for North American sales. You’d get one cent a record, or $10,000. The sheet music gives you at least three cents a copy or $12,000 Then you would get half the publisher’s revenue for foreign sales, and add ed to this is revenue from radio and television performances, which brings the total up to $30, 000 or more. ^wuuua omipjc, uui iucie are many obstacles in your path. Publishers, generally, do not like to deal with the out-of-town house-wife who sends in a manu script. Most unsolicited music is bad, they say. Aside from this, the publisher is afraid of plagarism He'd rather take his chances with a songwriter he knows. If you’re an unknown amateur, the first person' to stay away from is the “song shark,” the publisher who wants money for handling your song. You can check a publisher’s re putation with the Songwriter's Protective Assn. “Bought Master” Angle Tn this cectronic age most pub lishers prefer hearing a song on a "demonstration record,” or “de mo.” The amateur should be pre pared to spend a few dollars to get a good rendition of his song recorded in a local studio. Sometimes a publisher will re cord a song independently, and distribute it to local stores and radio stations in the hope that a major record company will grab it for national exploitation. This is the “bought master” angle. i o Decome a protessional sin'g writer, you should start by study ing music in school and listening to hit songs. Develop a feeling for People. Know what moves them. Confine your songs to subjects you know about and stay within the 32-bar structure. If you make the grade, you’ll find yourself trying to turn out three or four songs a week and trying to place eight or 10 with publishers each month in the hope that one or two get recorded.

Don’t forget, the Legion Grimes Freed For Killing Wife's Lover WASHINGTON. N. C., (UP)—A crowd which packed a pre-Civil War courthouse last week while a popular yourvg lawyer sat on trial waited Saturday through a judge's long charge and the jury's brief deliberation to hear him acquitted. Obviously relieved but exhaust ed from the trial and events lead ing to it J. D. June Grimes Jr., was unable to say what his plans for the future were. The rush of friends offering congratulations left him almost without words. His future will remain undecided for a while anyway, he indicated. Many of the same faces turned out each morning to sit sweating on the hard benches while a de termined band of lawyer-friends defended Grimes, who was charg ed with second-degree murder in the pistol slaying of his wife’s sharecropper lover. Grimes saicl he “went out of my mind” when he found them lying together un der a tobacco barn on the Grimes estate. The spectators at the trial stay ed on for the short 86 minutes of testimony the prosecution used in what was evidently an unpleasant task. 12 Married Men When the jury of 12 married and mostly middle-aged Nash County men1 returned after 46 min utes with its acquittal verdict, most of the spectators lined up to shake the smiling-crying Grimes’ hand and pat his 76-year old fath er on the back. A few of the overalled farmers who had come through curiosity drifted away without comment. But a few of the group, lelatives of the victim, tenant farmer Hay wood Pau: did not take tne ver dict as calmly. Judge Joseph Praker. fearing a disturbance vi en the verdict was to he announced, statimed depu ties on cithe: side of the iocm to keep order. ‘■Stars And Bar* ' One of Pi ul's women roir.tives had ba-eiy reached the outside steps when she broke down sob bing and shouting. One of the first to reach Grimes was his minister, the Rev. W. T. Waterheuse of St. Pete -’s Episco pal Church, who had sa: through out the ir!al and testified as a character witness for Grimes. He pat ms arm on Grimes’ shoulder while both wept. Distric* Solicitor Walter Cnhoon returned (o 'he courtroom when' the jury retired and >at across from the cigar-smoking Giimes while tho jury delibe.-i -.•» > He went over to shake hands with Crimes’ fat.iir after the verdict was announced. Cahoo'i had made the last argu ment 'or ‘hj ,'Mte in what he said “is the hardest thing I've had to do in my i fe.” Then dabbing at his tyrs with a handk rehief be went quickly to an anteroom to await the final action. Attorney John Wilkinson took the floor for the defense’s final ar gument, a long and .high-pitched plea that left his clotnes damp w.th perspiration. He ended by urging that Grimes not be "crucified on account of his grandfather,” a prominent Con federate general who led the last charge at Appomattox. Pointing tc. a portrait of the uniformed gen eral on the courtroom wall, Wil kinson asked, “What kind of sou thern jury would convict a man because his grandfather followed the old shredded S*a s and Bars?” Recreation Benefits From United Fund The United Fund will provide $4,575 for the Dunn Recreation Commission it was announced today by H.
