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. He received a 60-
day road sentence suspended on
payment of $150 fine, with license
revocation for 12 months.

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.

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.”
