(Lost Colony Photos) Family Ruektis Aired In Moore Court; Water Cut Off In Home Two Weeks Troubles in a rent-free “apart ment house,” in which one apart ment dweller turned off the wa ter for the whole house, and another cut off the lights to get ^ven, were aired in Moore record ers court Monday. The trial was that of Lottie Smith, a Negro man, arrested on a warrant taken out by A. G. Gilchrist, uncle of his wife, and found guilty of using “vile, bois terous and profane language.” Gilchrist, an elderly bachelor, and Smith and his wife, with sev eral children, occupied apartments in the Carthage home of a Mrs. Blanchard, sister of Gilchrist and mother-in-law of Smith. Testi mony revealed that in Gilchrist’s basement quarters was located the water meter for the whole house hold, and that he had to pay the whole water bill, a fact which ^- gered him. He toned off the wa ter and at the time of the trial it had been cut off two weeks. Smith asked Gilchrist to cut the water back on. Gilchrist woudn’t; so Smith cursed him freely from a point outside the house in tones loud enough to be heard across the street. Several neighbors were witnesses in the trial. Then Smith, it appeared, went to his own rooms and cut off all the lights. Continuing judgment for Smith, Judge J. Vance Rowe recommend ed that separate light and water meters be installed so that each user could pay for his own, not interfering with the other’s use of the utilities. Wild Ride Revealed In another case Monday, wit nesses told of a wild ride the night of Thursday, June 18, when a car with no lights rocketed along the road from Carthage to ward Southern Pines at a speed of between 95 and 100 miles per hour, while bottles of whiskey were tossed from the windows. Defendants were L. C. Crane, 30, West End Rt. 1, who was con victed in recorders court in a li quor case last April and given a three months’ suspended sentence; and Roland J. Brown, 27, of Car thage, who was driving the car. ABC Officer C. A. McCallum and Deputy Sheriff A. W. Lam bert said their speedometer touch ed 100 miles per hour before they could force the car ahead to stop. This occurred before Crane could get rid of the last tell-tale bottle of evidence. Convicted on two liquor counts, also public drunkenness. Crane received one three-month sen tence, suspended for two years on payment of a $150 fine, and anoth er sentence of 30 days, to begin at the expiration of still a third road sentence—^the three months’ term which had been suspended in April, now ordered into effect. As for Brown, he was convicted of‘ speeding 95 miles per hour, care less and reckless driving, driving without lights and failing to stop at stop signs.

Select Spot Now For Fall Seeding Of Alfalfa Crop By E. H. GARRISON. County Farm Agent Now is a time to start selecting a place to put in alfalfa this fall. To my way of thinking, this is still tops in all our hay crops. Seeding an acre of alfalfa will cost around $60 but the first cutting will pay all the cost. Alfalfa is a crop which must be seeded, fertilized, and handled just right. One of the things we have had most trouple with is getting the crop inoculated at seeding time. Land should be lim ed in advance of seeding. If pos sible, the land should be limed and sown in peas. This should be all turned and seeded in Septem ber. The crop can be cut from three to four times in a season. It should last from five to seven years be fore having to be reseeded. The small field on the side of the road at the County Home, is a good example of what can be done with ilfalfa when seeded and fer tilized properly. For hay for cows, horses and all livestock. It can not be excelled. It’s still tops of all the hays. Soil samples should, by all means, be taken for this crop, and fertilize recommendations follow ed closely. All necessary informa tion will be furnished you upon request. ENCMRAV^ Wedding Announce ments and Invitations. Quick service, reasonable prices.

Novel “Little Nine” Golf Course Opens At Hillendale The Sandhills may have thought they had seen everything in the way of golf courses, but a visit to Hillendale driving range, on the Midland road, will show them there is still something new under the sun—or the lights. Tom O’Neil, Hillendale pro prietor, opened his new “Little Nine” golf course Wednesday. The “Little Nine” covers a tract adjoining the driving range, with nine holes, grass traps and all the accourtrements of any good golf course—except it is just 701 yards long, 1402 for 18 holes. The greens are designed to offer every golfing challenge except that of the long drive. They are played with irons, and are laid out primarily to help the golfer per fect his iron shots and putting. They are floodlighted for night play. The holes are 50, 135, 60, 45, 65, 55, 120, 101 and 70 yards in length, with a par three on every hole except, for the ladies, the three long ones are par four. “Every Green a Challenge” is the slogan of Hillendale’s “Little Nine.” OPEN DAILY 11 A.M.
