Court Considers Liquor, Non-Support *
Cases In Session At Carthage Monday
Woman Bound To
Superior Court
On Money Charges
Liquor cases played a promi
nent part in Monday’s session of
Moore County Recorders Court at
Carthage.
A Cameron couple, Robert Clin
ton Sercey and Eva Mae Sercey,
were tried jointly for violations
of the prohibition laws and the
husband was charged in addition
with a third offense of drunken
driving.
Records showed that he had
been convicted of drunken driv
ing in 1941 and 1950, but the court
ruled that he had been convicted
only once under the law by which
he was being tried Monday and so
he was tried for a second offense.
Charged also with possession of
illicit whiskey, he was found guil
ty of all charges and *was sen
tenced to six months on the roads,
to be suspended on payment of
$200 fine and costs, with driver’s
license to be revoked for two
years. Defendant ■ appealed the
judgment to Superior Court and
bond was set at $300.

Largest Still In
Many Years Found
By Moore Officers
600-Gallon Outfit
In Western Moore
Idle At Raid Time
Twin 300-gallon stave-type stills
were destroyed by officers in the
western part of the county Mon
day morning—the largest liquor
making installation that has been
found in Moore in many years.
Idle at the time of the raid, the
stills appeared to have been run
about a week previously, said
Chief ABC Officer C. A. McCal-
lum. He made the judgment from
the condition of mash in seven
large boxes, capable of holding
300 gallons each, and from the
evidence of traffic , around the
site.
Location of the big outfit was a
desolate area between West End,
Jackson Springs and Eagle
Springs, about one-half mile east
of the home of Grant King.
Also at the site was a 100- gal
lon steam boiler, a couple of cases
of jars, several sacks of coke used
to fire the boiler, tubs and buck
ets. The outfit was blown up by
the investigating officers.
Taking part in the raid were
McCallum, Deputy Sheriff D. B.
‘Cranford, ABC Officers John
Sharpe and Kieth Marks and two
Federal Alcoholic Tax Unit inves
tigators from Rockingham.
Investigation was, continuing
this week in an effort to appre
hend the operators.

T his is a Buick —a 2-door, 6-passenger
Special Sedan,
It packs a walloping 188-hp V8 engine under
the hood—is carried on a strapping 122-inch
wheelbase—rides with the luxury cushioning
of all-coil springing, the solid steadiness of a
full-length torque-tube drive, the extra safety
and silence of tubeless tires.
It’s big and brawny and road-steady and
roomy—each seat cushion measures over five
■ feet in width.
Yet this beauty—as the price we show here
proves—delivers locally for just about the
price of the well-known smaller cars—even
below some models of those same cars.
Buick Sales Are Soaring To New Best-Seller Highs
That, for sure, is one reason why Buick sales
go higher and higher and higher. More and
more people are finding that you can buy a
Buick for the price of a smaller car, so more
and more people are getting this bigger buy
for their money.
They want the bigger package of sheer auto
mobile for the money that they get in Buick
— bigger in power thrill, in roomy comfort,
in riding steadiness, in structural solidity.
They want the added prestige and pleasure
of owning Buick styling and size — and the
added safety and sureness of Buick road
ability and handling ease.
They want, too, the spectacular performance
and better gas mileage of Variable Pitch
Dynaflowf-yours at modest extra cost.
And they certainly want the choice Buick
offers of a car in every price range, with
each one the buy in its field—the low-price
Special, the supremely-powered Century,
the extra-roomy Super, and the custom-
built Roadmaster.
Why don’t you come in for a visit and see
how much real automobile your money can
buy here?
fDynafiow Drive is standard on Roadmaster, optional at extra cost
on other Series.
