Workman Injured
On Tobacco Job
Sues For $5,000
I Commissioners
i
Hear Reports On
School Buildings
Suit for $5,000 was instituted
Tuesday in Moore County super
ior court by Lenzie Minter, Ne
gro, of Carthage, against D. T.
Carter, of Durham, buyer for the
American Tobacco company, for
a broken neck said to have been
sustained by Minter while he was
in Carter’s employ.
An unusual feature of the suit
is the claim that Carter, who had
employed some 15 workers to aid
in packing and shipping tobacco
at Carthage, thus became bound
by state law to take out work
men’s compensation insurance as
an employer, and that he failed
to do so; also that he had not
been approved by the state in
dustrial commission as a self in
surer.
It is claimed also that he failed
to porvide adequate tools or
equipment for the loading of 1,-
500-pound hogsheads of tobacco
on, a truck, or sufficient men to
take care of such heavy loads. In
consequence, it is declared, one
of the hogsheads fell as a loose
ramp slipped, and crushed Minter
beneath it, breaking his neck.
The accident occurred at the
packhouse on the Currie lot near
McConnell’s warehouse Septem
ber 17, four days after the Car
thage markets opened. Minter was
taken to a physician, then to the
Moore County hospital, where he
was placed in a cast from neck
to waist.
Weekly payments were made
for three weeks, but nothing'
since that time, Minter alleges
in the suit, adding that he has
been ordered back to work, or
receive nothing at all, despite the
fact that he is still in the cast.
The county commissioners met
for a lengthy interval Monday
at Carthage with the county
board of education, reviewing
school building projects and hear
ing reports on their progress.
H. Lee Thomas, superintendent,
reported the Eagle Springs Ele
mentary school completed and
ready for occupancy, and the
Pinckney High school at Carth
age (Negro) ready except for com
pletion of the heating and plumb
ing installations, which have met
with delays. Both schools are to
be occupied immediately follow
ing the Christmas holidays.
The Vass-Lakeview school is
about 30 per cent completed, it
was estimated. The hope was ex
pressed that it would be ready
for classes by the opening of the
next fall term.
At Robbins, work is progress
ing on an ^addition containing
three classrooms and a cafeteria.
This, too, wiU probably not be
ready until next fall, it was said.
During th^ir day’s session the
commissioners made recommen
dations for the state’s assump
tion of maintenance of several
stretches of county roads, and
granted beer licenses to the fol
lowing: O. R. Conrad, James E.
Pugh, Dante Montesanti and
Farnk H. Cosgrove, of Southern
fines; M. P. Criavi'er, Robbins,
and Mrs. Ruth Loy Davis.

Baber Denies Charges
Oi McKeithen Suit
F. L. Baber, of Sanford, reply
ing this week to the $41,510
breach of contract suit brought
by Jere McKeithen of Aberdeen,
through papers filed by his law
yers in the superior court clerk’s
office denied terms of the con
tract as set forth by McKeithen,
as well as other allegations of
the complaint.
He denied also that the busi
ness of the Brown’s Auto Supply
stores, of which he is owner, had
profited through McKeithen’s as
sociation with them during 1946
as manager of the stores at Sou
thern Pines and Aberdeen. The
Aberdeen store, he said, had ac
tually sustained a loss during this
time.
McKeithen, he stated, had
“failed and neglected to apply
himself, or to give the time and
attention necessary to efficient
ly and completely handle” the
business. He objected to a refer
ence to McKeithen’s military
service, and stated that “at or
before the trial” motion would
