Southern Pifies
Martha Ivey Calloway was
awarded $500 and Mrs. Lola West
$400 in suits against Harrison’s
Greater Shows, Inc., tried at the
civil term of superior court this
week, for injuries sustained when
a crowded platform gave way at
the, carnival last spring. They
were reported to be now com
pletely recovered.
Th accident occurred when the
two girls, who live near Aber
deen, attended the carnival while
it was playing near Abdeeen, on
Highway 1 south. They were part
of a mob which flocked there for
the drawing of tickets for the giv
ing away of “a live baby”—which
turned out to be a baby pig.
Owners of the carnival were
held liable in the suits not only
for having a faultily built plat
form,' which could not stand the
weight of the crowd on it, but for
fraud in advertising a pig as a
baby, thus drawing aq eagerly
pushing crowd through false rep-
esentation.
Original suits instituted by next
friends of the injured girls were
for $5,OO0 for Miss Calloway, who
suffered a sprained arm, and $10,-
060 for Mrs. West, who had a
sprained ankle. Action was start
ed within a day or two after the
accident, while the carnival was
still playing here, and it was at
tached in its entirety by the sher
iff’s department though later its
owner was permitted to pay bond
so “the show could go on.”
Court Ends Wednesday
The civil term opened Monday
at Carthage, ending abruptly at
noon Wednesday with many cases
still on ‘the calendar. These were
continued. Judge F. Don Phillips
of Rockingham presided.
In Leslie Rivers Pulley vs Edna
F. Holley al, plaintiffs and defen
dants were heirs of John R. Rives,
who during his lifetime sold talc
mine property near Robbins to
J. D. Willcox. Question posed the
jury was: wasi the grantor men
tally competen't to sign the deed?
It was adjudged that he was not
and the court ordered the deed set
aside, invalidating the sale. The
defendants of whom Wilcox was
one, notified of appeal to the State
Supreme court.
Judgment of $90 was approved
iti A. O. Monroe vs. J. S. Assad al.
Non-suit was taken in John Cos
tello vs. O. K. Conrad al, as mat
ters in question were fettled out
of court. Non-suit was also taken
in T. R. Hiatt vs. A. P. Maples
and wife, as plaintiff did not ap
pear when, called.
Mistrial Declared
In Herman H. Grimm vs, A. T.
Watson al, a mistrial was declar
ed tn action arising from a wreck
between Grimm’s car and a bus
near Fayetteville, July 21, 1948.
Inadvertent bringing of the in
surance element in the case by
Doth sides caused the Judge to
go into swift action, dismissing
the jury and continuing the case.
Land of the late Mirs. Kathryn
A. Seawell will be divided equal
ly among the heirs according to
the law in cases of this kind, said
the judge, remanding the case
Gilmer Seawell vs Virginia
Purvis al to the clerk of court for
disposition. The property will be
surveyed and shares of equal size
determined. The suit was a family
affair, brought by the heirs for
clarifidation of Mrs. Seawill’s will,
by which two sons were left 50
acre tracts without any boundar
ies designated.
Non-suit was taken in G. W.
Starling vs. J. S. Younts, as it ap
peared plaintiff had the wrong de
fendant. In instituting action for
payment for a piano, the court
ruled, the Sandhill Community
Blrcadcasters, Inc., should have
been made defendant rather than
Younts as an individual, even
though he is president of the com
pany.
Recovers $1,000
McNeill and Company of South
ern Pines was ^authorized to re
cover $1,000 from C. L. Dutton al
fer supplies sold to Dutton by the
seed and feed store over a period
of time. Half the amount, $500,
was to be paid immediately, the
other $500 after six months.
In a hearing of Southern Pines
Warehouses, Inc., vs. R. L. Rosser
which took place after the close
of court, matters were referred
to a. referee. W. D. Sabiston, Jr.,
was appointed referee in the case.
Coleman Speaks
On History
Of Near East
PINEHURST NEWS
Arch Coleman, of Skyline, guest
speaker Sunday night at the Fel
lowship Forum of the Church of
Wide Fellowship, held a large
group of members and guests
spellbound with a talk on Near
Eastern religions and the check
ered history of Christianity’s
shrine ,Jerusalem.
Stationed in the Near East dur-.
ing the war as an observer for the
Office of Strategic Services, Mr.
Coleman had rich opportunity to
observe the life and customs of
that part of the Svorld at close
range. Scenes of Christ’s life on
earth, he said, were apparently re
garded with little of the reverence
felt for them by His followers
farther off, as they are looked on
more in the light of tourist attrac
tions.
He traced the history of Jeru
salem from the Crusadqs, relating
how over, 12 centuries the birth
place of Christ has been possessed
by first one, then the other side
of hostile legions, and is now the
center of a motley entourage rep
resenting many religions. Pre
dominantly Christian, these differ
widely, however, in their customs
and traditions.
The importance of the Near
East as gateway to the Orient has
made it a center of struggle since
Biblical days, he said, with tinder-
box potentialities also for the
present and future.
Mr. Coleman was presented by
O. D. Griffin, who arrenged the
program withiMiss Blanche Sher
man as co-chairman.

Miss Newton Open

TAYLORTOWN MEETING
A meeting for discussion of
civic needs will be held at the
Galilee Baptist church, Taylor-
town, Tuesday at 8 p. m. under
auspices of the recently reorgan
ized NAACP of Moore county.
This will be the first of a series
of meetings to be held among Ne
gro citizens of the' county in the
various communities, to be con
ducted by George F. King, of
Southern Pines, NAACP presi
dent.
Mrs. Mary Guin and Miss Mary
Scott Newton are partners in a
new venture the Mary Guin shop,
which will open today (Friday) at
Miss Newton’s home, 410 South
West Broad street.
The shop is for dressmaking and
all other types of custom sewing,
also for the sale of materials. A
good selection of new cottons,
rayons, light wools and some pure
silk and other materials for spring
wear have been laid in for the
opening. Appropriate materials
“by the yard” are to be kept in
stock well in advance of season
al heeds.
Besides dresses, the partners
will make hats, bags, suits,
skiits, blouses, lingerie, etc.
Both Mrs. Guin and Miss New
ton are local people, well known
in the community. They have
been employed for the past sev
eral years at Anglow Tweeds, Inc.
which they are leaving in order
to open their shop. Before going
to Anglow Tweeds Mrs. Guin was
for some years a successful dress
maker here.
Bond Sales Show,
Gain In January
Sales of U. S. Savings Bonds
Series E, F and G in Moore coun
ty from January 1 through Janu
ary 31 amounted to $48,962.50. Of
this amount $47,962.50 was in Se
ries E bonds; none in Series F
bonds and, $1,000 in Series G
bonds.
Total sales of Series E, F and G
bonds for all 100 counties in North
Carolina were as follows: Series E
$4,845,823; Series F $249,084; Se
ries G $2,443,100; total $7,538,007.
This information was given by
E. C .Stevens, chairman of the
Moore County Savings Bonds
committee, from the monthly sales
report issued by the State Savings
Bonds office in Greensboro.
He said that total sales of Series
E Bonds as well as total E, F and
G Bopds, for North Carolina’s 100
counties in the month of January
were greater than any month
since December 1947.
The large increase in January
sales was attributed to two main
factors: investments by veterans
with money received from Nation
al Service Life Insurance dividend
checks, and reinvestment by hold
ers of matured 1940 Series D
Bonds into Series E Bonds.
The entire proceeds from the
maturing Series D Bonds may be
reinvested in Series E Bonds with
out regard to the $10,000 maturity
value limitation on E Bond pur
chases by an individual in a cal
endar year, the county chairman
reminded.
