Recorder’s Court
This week’s Recorder’s Court was
short in duration, but long i n re
sults. Judge Rhodes got his court
under way about 10:00 o’clock, and
everybody got home for late dinner.
Carl Pearce, well known and lik
able fellow, seems to have fallen in
to hard places. Willis High said
Carl had disposed of rental crops
under mortgage. The court agreed
that so he had, and the law agreed
to the extent of 90 days on the
state highways, not joy riding
either.
Ivan Montague seems to have de
cided to make a day of it. He got
a gun, enough liquor to make him
drunk and started out. He collided
with the representative of the law,
resisted the officer and landed in
court. At present he is busy helping
improve the state roads and will so
perform till May comes.
William Hartsfield, according to
the charge against him, might have
had any or some quantity of liquor
on hand for his personal use, or
even to give to his friends, but he
must not have it with the intention
of sale. There’s the weakness of
William and the strength of the
law. So the judge sentenced him to
60 days on the roads, retracted his
decree and let him off provided he
would pay the cost and behave him
self for 12 months. There is nothing
in the court’s record that indicates
he had not already been doing that,
so after all the judge didn’t trou
ble William much about his liquor.
O, well, it’s liquor everywhere ex
cept in No’th Caiina, why be hard
on the buddies?
On a day John Medlin, (there’s
several of the Johns and all are
pretty good fellows) well, this John
drove to town in a wagon. So far
so good. No violation of the law in
that. But he called the wrong man
and Chief Baker did his duty, be
cause Mr. Medlin had imbibed one
drink too many. The court gave
him the usual “20 days”, and took
it back if he would pay $5.00 and
costs instead.
Three colored “brethren” did not
worship like the others in the con
gregation, nor like th e law says
they oughter. They got 60 days on
the roads but sentences were sus
pended on payment of costs and
their promise to walk circumspect
ly for at least 12 months.

THE ZEBULON RECORD. ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, APRIL SIXTH, 1934
Fan Dance Feature
Os Exposition
Rocky Mount, April 6.—On e of
the attractions in the coming
Rocky Mount Merchants and Man
ufacturers Exposition and Auto
Show, beginning April 16th and
continuing throughout the week,
will be the sensational fan dance,
popularized in the Chicago world
fair by the lovely Sally Rand.
Miss Corrine Reynolds, headline
attraction ol Charlie Mack’s “Rhap
sody in Fun,” a nightly attraction
of the exposition, will execute the
difficult dance in precisely the same
costume and with fans similar to
those behind which Miss Rand per
formed the dance in Chicago, on the
New York stage and later for the
movies in Hollywood.
No one of the scores of attrac
tions scheduled for the exposition
has occasioned quite the discussion
and interest that has resulted from
the booking of this novel feature.
Merchants have planned to make
the show one of the biggest in the
city’s history and the success in
securing attractions, costing more
than attractions for any two previ
ous exhibitions, presages the out
come of the annual event.
Profits from the exposition will
be divided between the Merchants
Association and the Chamber of
Commerce and will be expended in
helping to attract business to East
ern Carolina.
Other events on the program are
nightly dances, music from two
stage bands, a midway with scores
of entertaining features, and a va
riety of exhibits of automobiles,
the latest improvements in virtual
ly every sort of merchandise offer
ed in modern stores, and added en
tertainment to please fastidious
people.
The exposition will be held in
Mangum’s .Warehouse, beginning
Monday, April 16, and lasting
throughout the week.

EDWARD POU DEAD
Edward W. Pou, representative in
Congress from the fourth district,
died in Washington last Sunday.
The body was brought to his home
in Smithfield on Tuesday, attend
ed by many of his colleagues in
Washington and was met by
throngs of friends. Old in years and
in experience, Mr. Pou was one of
the most influential men in this
section of the state, and his going
is a distinct loss to the Democratic
party as well as to the many who
loved him without regard to poli
tics.
Already supposition and rumor
are busy with the problem of who
will succeed the veteran legislator.

Old Fort Macon, which for years

with its 412 acres of land has be
longed to North Carolina,
The improvement project includes
restoration of the fort with its un
derground dungeons and massive
walls, a motor road across Bogue
Sound from Morehead City, an ef
fort to control the sand drifts that
make reforestation so much more
difficult and an opening of a section
of the finest bathing beach on the ■
Atlantic Coast.
Fort Macon is one hundred years
old, and is th ( . successor of various
lesser fortifications built in earlier
days to protect “Old Topsail In
let” from whomever happened to
be the enemy at that time. Dur
ing the war between the states it
was for a while in possession of
the Confederates, but was in 1H62
seized by the Northern Army.
