Page TWELVE THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1959' General Assembly Report By H. CUFTON BLUE Adjournment As this-column is being written Tuesday night, it appears uncer tain as to whether the General Assembly can adjourn and call it quits this week. Thq House de bated the important bill which would submit the State Constitu tion to the people for -major changes with the Court Reform proposals being the most outstand ing. Since the House had not fin ished the bill at the close of the dqy, the certainty of adjournment by Saturday was not too bright. Judge Farrell Judge J. Garland Farrell of the Aberdeen Recorder’s Court spent most of the day Tuesday in the House listening to the debate on the Constitution and Court Re form proposals. Senate Page For the past several weeks Ber nard Dotson, son of the Rev. and Mrs. Dotson of Carthage, has been serving as a page in the Senate under the sponsorship of Senator Currie. Calendar Committee A calendap committee was ap pointed last Friday to pass upon all bills introduced from that date on out instead of the bills going to the several committees as heretofore. This is customary when the time comes to wind up an Assembly session. Poultry Inspection A couple of weeks ago I dis cussed in this column the need for compulsory inspection of poul try at the processing plants in the state. I said that June Brewer and Harry Simpler of Robbins had discussed with Senator Cur rie and me the need for this type legislation. Senator Currie and I discussed the matter with legis lative and Agricultural leaders and it was the definite feling of most everyone that it was too late to attempt anything this session for to pass a bill of this import requires hearings and considerable time which we did not have with the Assembly nearing the end of its work.

Legal Eagles Strain To Prove The Point Defense counsel’s nice distinc-'f tions between a “public nui sance’’ and a “private nuisance’’ were capped by Solicitor W. La- mont Brown’s definition from the same book of Supreme Court opinions as to a '‘disorderly house’’ to bring about a convic tion for John Newton, operator of “J. C.’s Grill,” at Moore Re corders court Monday. E. F. Simpson and E. N. Scott, who live near the cafe at the in tersection of US 15 501 and NC 27, one mile east of Carthage, as complaining witnesses in the case testified to late-night activities at the grill, bold and roistering language and jukebox music blared forth by a loudspeakef in to the night, which they said Gift wrapped free of charge. and boxed greatly disturbed their home life and prevented their sleep. Defense attorney W. D. Sabis- ton, while admitting that “iftLarry these things are true” they Pines, should have redress, claimed this redress should be in the civil court. They did not constitute a “public nuisance,” affecting the great body of the public, but a “private nuisance” affecting only a few, he declared; and that in operation of a legitimate business Newton did not stand in violation of anyone’s constitutional rights. Solicitor Brown, however, read the supreme court opinion that a “disorderly house” was “a store in which people collect and dis turb the neighborhood,” and that the pertinent statute rendered the maintaining of such a crimi nal offense. ■ In this Judge J. Vance Rowe concurred, finding Newton guilty of maintaining such an establish ment, though not guilty of pub lic nuisance. He handed Newton a 60-day sentence suspended for l2 months on condition he put a stop to the disturbing practices, such as “broadcasting jukebox music or other programs from loudspeak ers attached to the outside of the building, or permitting loud, bois terous and, offensive language dr other conduct on the outside of the building such as to disturb and annoy the neighborhood.” Notice was given of intent,to ap peal and bond was set at $250.
