Johnston, Jr., in Moore Coun ty' Superior Court Tuesday. Just a short while before, pleading nolo conter^dere, Jimmie Sherrill Simpson of Route 1, Car thage, had admitted to having drunk four beers before the fatal accident, but added: “I felt no effects.” The accident occurred Novem ber 14 on NC 27 five miles west of Carthage, when young Simp son, attempting a left turn into the Highfalls road, cut too short in front of an approaching car^ One person, Mrs. Bertha Cran ford of Troy, was killed, and three persons injured.

Drivers who drink, and think they .‘feel no effects,’ are just fooling themselyes. He ‘misjudg ed the distance’—there’s the heart of the whole thing. As a result, a woman is dead.” He sentenced Simpson to serve 18 months in a first offenders’ camp. Jimmie sat with his parents, who defense counsel said w.are divorced, both having remarried. The father, a Franklinville police officer, wore his uniform. Rela tions have remained friendly, Coun&cl W. D. Sabiston said: the father does his best for Jimmie and the other five children, com ing often to take them to visit in his. home. The slight, undersized youth revealed that he had left school after the 10th grade. Among character witnesses for him were his employer, owner of a Carth age feed and poultry plant, and DeWitt Purvis, his Sunday School superintendent in High falls church. Patrolman H. A. Hight, Jr., testifying as to the accident, 're ported that Jimmie had been ‘fully cooperative.” Sabiston said the boy had also cooperated in naming the place, a Southern Pines b&er sales out let, which had sold him the beer in violation of the law against selling to minors, and would work with local law authorities in seeing that “appropriate ac tion was taken in Raleigh” re garding the violation. Civil matters in th« case have been or are being settled, he said. ABC Officers Report Activities During Past Year More than 2,000 gallons of mash being used in the manufac ture of rhoonshine whiskey was seized by Moore County’s ABC officers during 1958, according to the annual report submitted this week to the _ABC Board. C. A. McCallum, chief enforce ment officer, said that 163 per sons, had been arrested by the three men in his department and 150 of them had been convicted. Of the remainder, he added, five are awaiting trial and eight were acquitted of the charges. Those who were convicted re ceived total sentences of seven years, two months and three days in prison, together with fines amounting to $8,910. McCallum noted that only 14 stills had been destroyed, which would seem to indicate that moon shiners are on the run, at least in this county. The officers des troyed 19 gallons of home brew and almost one gallon of home made wine. They also confiscated three automobiles being used by the illicit whiskey dealers, and seized 153 gallons of moonshine. The three officers, McCallum, W. K. Marks of Aberdeen, and Wilson Thrower of Robbins, trav elled a total of 67,187 miles in their duties, McCallum reported.

Forest Fires In County Did $1481 Damages In 1958 Moore County’s forest fihe damages in‘1958 amounted to less than $1,500, one_ of the lowest years in history, according to a report issued this week by Travis Wicker, forest ranger. There were 19 fires, he said, which burned on 321 acres. He listed the causes as: campers and hunters,' five; debris burning, three; incendiary, tires; lumber ing, one; railroad, one; smokers. four; and miscellaneous, two. Of the 321 acres that burned. Wicker said that 305 of them were forest land, the remaining portion open land, the actual damage figure was $1,481, of which only $32 jyas accounted for in fires that burned on open land. The damage figures were based on a statewide damage appraisal system used by the North Caro lina Forest Service. This county, incidentally, has a total of 338,200 acres of wood land. That would mean that fires burned on approximately .09 per cent of the total.
