Teenagers of Cameron Community

In an unusual move. Judge J.

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.
