John Larkins Arrives Here Monday
Vann Says Terry ’Least
Qualified/ Blasts Seawell
Art Vann came to Harnett Coun
ty with fire in his eye today—
three days ahead of candidate
John Larkins who will arrive Mon
day—and he made a slashing at
tack on Larkins’ opponents for the
governorship.
Terry Sanford, he charged, is
trying to ‘ buy the campaign’’ with
a big outlay of money that is
“almost double the combined
funds of the other three.”
Seawell, he declared, is an “in
temperate candidate” who. by his
own admission, will make a con
troversial governor.
A 0 aduate of Dunn High School,
Vann lias gone on to become one
of the state’s best-known young
Democrats (he was president of
the Young Democrats last year
after waging a forceful campaign
for election to that post).
Optimistic about Larkins’ chan
ces to bring down his three oppon
ents, Vann cried, “There ain’t no
body going to get a majority—

him was a banner proclaiming
“An end to the provocations ol
Eisenhower and Adenauer” —

After the testimony in court yes
terday, Judge Strickland had or
dered a further investigation of
the place. Authorities determined
that she had apparently paid a
privilege license only to operate
as a grocery store. The judge told
her today to remove the piccolo
machine from the place and to
make it quieter in general.
Mrs. Reynolds had been arrest
ed on the complaint of neighbors
and of minister Joseph Creech, a
Baptist pastor who said prayer
meetings were disturbed by the
noisy crowd at Florence’s estab
lishment.
Chief Cobb said he discovered,
by questioning Mrs. Reynolds,
that she came from Four Oaks
and had been closed out of a
similar business there. He said she
admitted that her husband is serv
ing time in prison but that he was
unable to learn whether this was
connected with the running of any
business up there.
Although originally charged with
“inducing” a girl, Ann Roberson,
to enter a hotel room for immoral
purposes, Mrs. Reynolds was not
convicted on that count but only
of renting the room for immoral
purposes- She was fined $10 and
costs on this count with judgment
on the nuisance charge to come
later,
t
Chief Cobb said Mrs. Reynolds
declared the child she brought to
court with her yesterday was a
grandson. WiliUe she testified, the
small boy she had brought with
her played about her knees. And
Mrs. Reynolds told the judge that
she ran the business the best she
could "to make a living for me
and the child.”
The police chief said she could
not tell him where the child’
mother was and said she hadn'
heard from her in some time.

However, the statements by Dr.

years are now ready to make a
concerted push to achieve it. They
concede that raising the money
to originate the court, and then
continue it in action, will be a
problem. Especially since national
