Judge J. Vance Rowe in Recorder’s Court Monday recommended that Solici tor W. Lamont Brown look into the possibility of issuing war- Page THIRTEEN # Cameron who had testified under oath that they had engaged in sexual experiences with a 15- year-old girl, also of the Camer on ^ community. “If these boys are telling the truth,” he said, “an unlawful sit uation exists in Cameron and something should be done to clean it up.” Judge Rowe’s remafks and rec ommendations came at the close of a lengthy trial in which James Worthy Cole, 17, was convicted of having, cariial knowledge of the young girl. He had been brought to Court on a warrant sworn out by the girl’s father. The young girl, whose identity is being withheld by this news paper from publication, is preg nant and, she told the Court, by the Cole youth. Defense attorney W. W. Sta ton of Sanford paraded several boys to the stand and each testi-i fied he had engaged in sexual ex periences with the girl. She de nied it in later testimony and said that only James Cole had been with her. Staton was attempting to prove that any of the boys could have fathered the unborn child, and also to give weight to his con tention that the statute covering si^ch cases applies only to girls who have had no previous rela tions with men. None of the boys admitted, however, that they had been with the young girl prior to the time she said she be came pregnant by Cole. The trial consumed most of the afternoon. Judge Rowe, in making his recommendations to Solicitor Brown about he boy who was not present for the trial but whose name was men tioned during the testimony. Most of the youngsters who testified in the trial said that the young girl’s reputation in Cam eron was “bad.” They contended •that she had been the subject of a great deal of talk among the young boys of the Cameron com munity “and everybody knew her reputation.” Young Cole was convicted of the carnal knowledge charge and ordered to serve four months on the roads. The sentence was sus pended by Judge Rowe, however, on conditions he pay a $100 fine and costs of the Court action, and that he be under the supervision of the State Probation Officer for the next two years. Staton filed notice of appeal to the Superior Court and Cole was released under $500 bond for his appearance in the next term, scheduled for August. PCA Reports On Progress Over Past 25 Years Farm Improvement Loans Have Shown Tremendous Jump From 225 members and a peak volume of business in 1934 of $142,31.5, to a 1958 membership of 1,672 and business in excess of $1,500,000. That’s the record of the Carthage Production Credit Association, now nearing its 25th birthday. The association, completely owned and operated by the , farmers it serves, has played more than an outstanding part in the life of this and the three other counties it serves. It has at times been a matter of almost life and death to agriculture, business, and even home life. Its financing' has aided the growth of the Etrea’s livestock enterprises when they needed it, broiler and . dairy industries, has helped its members acquire farm equip ment, homes, farm buildings and automobiles, and has helped in the financing, of irrigation and other farm improvements. “We have grown from a small —^very small—lending institution to well over a million and one-, half dollars in lending in the quarter century we’ve been in business,” W. Stowe Cole, man ager, said this week. The association was organized in the Moore County Courthouse December 8, 1933. The late J. M. Willcox was elected first presi dent and J. L. Cochran secretary- treasurer. Seven other prominent men in the four county area— Moore, Lee, Montgomery and Richmond—^were named to the Board of Directors. One of them, Howard Harrison of Eagle Springs, has served on the board continuously since the first elec tion in 1933. He is now president of the board and, many think, one of the men who has done most to push the influence of the association to its present emi nence. Cochran served as manager of the association until his retire ment two and one-half years ago. Cole was appointed to succeed him. The association employs four others to aid Cole in the associa tion’s activities; Gaither Ed wards, assistant secretary and treasurer; Mrs. Margaret W. Mat thews, bookkeeper; Mrs. Kath- Marsh, application-taker; and Miss Jdarie Purvis, stenographer. Present directors, in addition) =4o Harrison, are R. E. Smith of Lemon Springs, vice president; T. Clyde Auman of West End; Robert Chappel of Candor; and W, Nat Nelson of EUerbe. Other cases disposed of: Sam Wicker and Garland G.
