ODD CASES BEFORE
JUDGE OLIVER ALLEN
HEAVY FINE FOR FALSE ALARM
City Council Monday night adopted
n ordinance making the tinging of a
false alarm or tampering with an
wlarm box or other fire department
equipment punishable by a fine of
$50, or imprisonment for thirty tk'j-s.
The mayor was empowered to offer si
reward of as much as $50 for evidence
to convict a person who violates the
ordinance.
Some unusual cases were pulled off
in Columbus County Superior Court.
over which Judge Oliver Allen of Kin-
ston was pic.-iding at Whiteville re
cently.
Kitsy Cartrett, who is over 98 years
of age, and Florence Cartrett, aged 57
years, pleaded guilty to selling wine.
They were required to pay the costs.
F. M. Creech, a blind white man,
pleaded guilty to manslaughter. He
shot John W. Allen, a negro, while
Allen was killing a snake near the
Creech home. There was evidently
r.o criminal intent. After an eloquent
plea for mercy by counsel, Judge Al
len gave Creech the light sentence
of four months.
The civil docket of the court was
laid over because of the inadequacy
of the Columbus court's temporary
ounrtei'9.

Florence Told All
the Neighbors
"You come in and see my Florence oil
Cook stove work just once and you
won't be happy until you have one.
"You can have a slow, simmering fire
on one burner at the same time you have
quick, hot fire on another and the
other one regulated exactly to any work
you want done. Just set the levers as
you want them and you can go away
for two hours and find all the burners at
exactly the same heat when you come
back. That's because the oil supply is
automatic and there are no wicks.
"It' so simple, so clean, so conveni.
ent, so cool, that I don't know what I
Should do without it
"My husband has tested the FLOR.
ENCE with other stoves and he says it

only about two cents an hour to run
