— News Was Close By —
Police Found A Potful
This isn't one of thbse movie
newspapers where the reporter
takes a swig of rum ever> time
the bell rings on his typewriter.
In fact, the teetotalers are al
most as thick around here as at
a Baptist convention.
We just want that understood
because of the revelation about
to be made. In Dunn, whore police
tap many a liquor seller over a
year’s time, a house ten yards
from the Daily Record has been
raided.
They came up with a pot of
whisky which measured out to a
gallon and a half. This morning >
in Dunn Court Maybelle Range,
who lives there, w’as tried and
pled guilty to having the brew in
her possession.
Judge H. Paul Strickland fined
her $50 and court costs with the
proviso that she must henceforth
allow officers to enter her home
without a search warrant to make
sure she's keeping the terms on
which a six-month jail .sentence
was suspended.
Thirty-eight years old and gain
fully employed, Mrs. Range is a
forthright woman who safd after
wards she didn’t deal in liquor
herself but “had to take the re
sponsibility" because it was in her
home.
Police records revealed one
prior arrest or. a liquor charge

home.
Teague remained in Jail here
today without bond pending trial
I'.i a term of Iredell County su
perior court starting Aug. 25.

of her age.
At a preliminary hearing, the
girl claimed Teague broke a back
door lock to enter her house
knocked her to the floor, dragged
her into a bedroom and raped her
Thursday.
The defense charged at the
hearing that the girl had written
“love notes" to Teague, inviting
him to the home.

Clears House
WASHINGTON (UPI) - An ad
ministration-backed bill to pro
vide lower price supports for
farmers cleared the House today
w-ith the support of both Demo

Dunn Man Divorced For Adultry
Eight divorces were granted in
Harnett Superior Court this week
and some of the cases involved
color and spice — and things no*
so nice.
A Dunn woman was granted a
divorce from her husband on
charges of adultery and another
woman was granted a divorce
from a husband sent to prison be
cause he tried to burn her in a
tobacco barn
Another couple was given a di
vorce from a 40-year separation;
another divorce was granted be
cause the bride was still legally
just a child on £er wedding day
—and her husband left her the
next day. And one divorce basis
was insanity.
Most of the divorces were gran
ted on grounds of two years sep
aration
Kathryn Humphries of Dunn
was given a divorce from Bruce
Humphries on grounds of adultery
The “other woman" in the case
was named as Doris Hughes
Miss Hughes’ own brother ap
peared to testify against Hum -
phries. He swore that the defen
dant kept company with his sister
and for sometime he didn’t know
Humphries was married
