Miss Churchill
Retiring From
Library Position
Miss Amy Churchill, librarian
at the Southern Pines library
since November 1, 1948, is resign
ing December 31 from full-time
employment, but will remain in
Southern Pines until spring and
will help out in the library during
that time, it was announced this
week by Clyde G. Council, presi
dent of the Southern Pines Li
brary association.
Mr. Ccmncil said that Mrs.
Thomas B. Smith, who was in
charge of the library during the
war years and until the fall of

fill the position until a permanent
librarian can be secured.
Efforts are to be made to find
someone for the place who has a
THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina
degree in library science, Mr.
Council said. The Library Com
mission at Raleigh has expressed
itself as anxious to see such a li
brarian in Southern Pines, as the
local library, though one of the
smaller ones of the state, has the
same calls made upon it for adult
and children’s books and refer
ence works in wide variety as are
found in libraries of considerably
greater size.

Moore recorders court at Carth
age Monday brought Judge J.
Vanc^ Rowe what he said he be
lieved was a new, and somewhat
unhappy, experience—he tried the
same man on two separate counts
of drunken driving, on arrests
made just a few days apart, the
second coming along before the
defendant could be got into
court for the first.
Clarence G. Odom, of Aberdeen
was the defendant in both cases,
each of which had an additional
liquor charge attached.
Testimony showed that Odom
was arrested at Aberdeen Decem
ber 9 for drunken driving, also for
unlawful possession of illicit
whiskey and transporting, and
failing to stop at the sound of the
officers’ siren.
The second arrest came along
December 15 near Aberdeen, for
drunken driving and unlawful
possession of taxpaid whiskey
with the seal broken.
Witnesses in both cases were
Aberdeen Officers Archie Phil
lips and Roy Atkins, ABC Officer*
John K. Sharpe and Deputy Sher
iff A. F. Dees.
Assisting with the first arrest
were State Highway Patrolmen
i Harris and Wimberly, who had
trailed Odom up the Laurinburg
read right into his own front yard.
Odom pleaded guilty and re
ceived , a 60-day sentence, sus
pended on payment of a total of
$200 in fines, plus costs, with a
two-year revocation of his oper
ator’s license.
Liquor cases, which have been
scanty in the Moore court lately,
showed a sharp jump-up this
week, perhaps betokening the on
set of the Christmas season.
Evidence given by ABC Officer
C. A. McCallum against Miles
Lawhon, Piriehurst, showed con
siderable undercover work to get
Lawhon into court and convicted.
The charges date from last May
and June and Lawhon has been
out of the county most of the time
since then. Pleading not guilty, he
was found guilty on two counts
cf unlawful possession of taxpaid
whiskey for sale and selling, and
one of selling beer without a li
cense. Handed a three-month sen
fence, or $100 fine and costs with
good- behavior conditions, Law
hon chose the third alternative—
an appeal to superior court. His
bond WES set at $300.
Also appealing, and bonded at
$300, was Flossie Murphy, of
Aberdeen, convicted of unlawful
possession of illicit whiskey for
sale, and sentenced to six months
in the women’s division of State
Prison. The sentence included 60
days imposed in a similar case
last July, and suspended at that
time.
James IngaU, Aberdeen, receiv
ed a 30-day sentence suspended
on payment of costs, for unlawful
possession of the illicit stuff (one
pint).
Old offender Tom Covington,
of Adder, was another to take an
appeal, convicted not only of vio
lation of prohibition laws but also
of aiding and abetting. The con
viction brought a previous 60-day
suspended sentence into effect
and he was ordered to serve an
additional 60 days, at the county
home as long as he was on good be
havior, but to be sent to the roads
if he gave trouble. Giving notice
of appeal, Covington made bend
of $500.
