Six Months
MRS T1LLEY MISSED

Judge Paul Webb proved
that he was a mighty popu
lar man during the recent
Primary Election by chalk.

tory over his two opponents. I
Rut since Recorders Court,
on Tuesday, the Moreneaa
Citv Jurist is even more pop
ular, in Beaufort at any rate.
In court on Tuesday Judge V ebb
after hearing the evidence in the
case of State ve. J. Bunyon Con
gleton, found the defendant guilty
and gave him six months sentence
on the roads.
A State Prison Camp of
ficial came down for John on Wed
nesday. He matriculated for his
six months course on the roads to
day. For several months now, ev
er since he served his last prison
term many local persons have
been hoping that something would
happen to get Fublic Nuisance No.
1 out of town again. It happened
last week-end, when Congleton, al
legedly, in a drunken condition
threw an empty beer bottle at Cas
tillius Anderson, colored employee
of the Beaufort Ice Company. The
bottle missed Castillius, and broke
on the brick walls of the building.
For breaking the bottle, the peace,
etcetera, the defendant was ar
rested and found guilty in Re
corder's Court Tuesday, and Jud;;c
"Webb sentenced him tQ.sj months
And Beaufort thanks Judge Webb.
Viola Tilley who lives in the
large stucco filling station out in
Morehead Bluffs section proved
that she was a poor marksman, re
gardless of whether she was shoot
ing at her husband or the cat.
She missed both. In Court she
was charged with shooting or at
tempting to shoot her husband.
Probable cause was found and she
was bound over to the October
term of Superior Court under
bond of $300. Mrs. Tilley claimed
that she was shooting at the cat
and not her husband and the
thing she was shooting with looked
like a museum piece of some sort.
It was a double-barrelled pistol.
A. D. Jamieson was found guil

a charge of reckless driving. The
case against Tom Martin for aid

nol prossed. It was charged that
Jamieson struck a CCC truck.
Robert Lewis was found guilty of
drunken driving but was ordered
to pay the costs when convicted of
reckless driving. Judgment is
pending until next Tuesday in the
case of Samuel Williams, charged
with non-support. The charges
against D. B. Oglesby was nol

splendid stories but I think he
should have re-written the last
paragraph of a vacation story re
leased from Raleigh this week.
The paragraph had to do with Gulf
Stream fishing, and so that you
readers of this column who know
something about our blue water
angling may get the significance
of what I am trying to explain I
reprint the paragraph under dis
