REENLISTED
Cpl. Grady L. Culler, Jr., a
veteran of 18 months’ army ser^
vice, reenlisted in the-army re
cently and is now stationed at
Langeley Field, Va., with Squad
ron Z of the 304th AAF base unit.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. G.
L. Culler of Manly.
^ork of clearing away the de
bris of the Vass-Lakeview school,
burned last March, was begun
Wednesday afternoon, and foun
dations are now being dug for
the erection of a new building
which, according to plans an
nounced this week by County
Supt. H. Lee Thomas, will be one
of the safest and most modern
of tlie entire state.
Using ordinary fire resistant
materials and without any fancy
architectural features, the build
ing will nevertheless incorporate
the very newest principles of
school building design.
All the rooms will be on one
floor, with- four wings extending
on each side of the central audi
torium gymnasium, which meas
uring 80x120 ft, will be by far the
largest in the county. The stage,
35 feet wide by 24 feet deep, will
also be the county’s largest. This
room will be two stories in
height, with two ranks of large
windows to give light.
Almost all of the 22 classrogms
will face the^ morning sun, with
two at the rear, a primary class
room and science laboratory, also
well lit as they are “to have
windows on three sides.
There will be no wood floors in
the whole building except in the
gymnasium. All others will be of
tile on a cement foundation on
tgmped earth.
In the layer of cement will be
run hot water pipes to make this
school what is believed to be the
first in North Carolina to have
the new “radiant heating.”
The building, which will be of
brick veneer on high grade cin
der block (trade name, “slag
block”) is being built by a county
construction crew with N. N- Mc
Donald as superintendent and D.
C. Thomas, of Aberdeen, fore
man. Thirty to 50 men will be
employed on the job, which is ex
pected to be finished by January
1.
The center front will be locat
ed almost exactly at the front en
trance of the old building, though
the 400-by-130 foot school /will
cover much more ground on each war
side, taking in all the old site,
running into the ball diamond at
the left and across the driveway
at the right. At the re.ar it will
reach almost to the center of the
old hasketball court.

The Carthage Weaving com
pany, padlocked for internal
revenue derelictions March 20, re
opened in part March 7 for
for a two months’ period which
was subsequently extended to
July 15, was again closed and
sealed Tuesday afternoon. It is
understood that the government
lien, for defaulting in income, se-
cmrity and withholding taxes.
constitutes a prior lien on all
property of the Sharpes. Whether
Sheriff McDonald will be en
joined from selling the apartment
house, or whether the govern-
pent will let him sell it and then
step in with its prior lien, was
undisclosed this week.
Members of the internal rev
enue department from the
Greensboro office are expected
down sometime next week to take
a complete inventory of Sharpe
assets and liabilities.
* Assets
Assets are known to include the
Carthage Weaving' company, the
Blhck apartment house, the Moore
Central railroad and an equity in
the sumptuous Sharpe home at
Pinehurst.
.The railroad 4s now in receiver
ship. Since Sharpe’s attorneys
have filed notice of an appeal to
the state supreme court, C. W.
Short, receiver,- is holding his
fire before going ahead with the
plan, lately approved by Super
ior Court Judge Pittman, of re
habilitating the railroad with
money subscribed by Carthage

The apartment house is the
focal point of a-number of suits
for, labor and materials used in
its construction, for the satisfac
tion of which its public sale has
been advertised.
Suits Stack Up
Suits have also been stacking
up at Clerk of CoUrt Willcox’s
oftice against Sharpe, and his wife
for materials used, or intended
for use, in manufacturing opera
tions at the Carthage Weaving
company. These have come in
from concerns in several states,
in varying amounts, with the lat
est and largest that of the Amer
ican Woollen company of Mass
achusetts and New York for $8,-
295.91 for material bought be
tween October, 1946, and March,
1947.
It -was the presence of consid
