Court Monday.
The case had come up on ap
peal from the lower court.
Though pleading not guilty, Mrs.
Safriet, who had no lawyer, pre
sented no witnesses and did not
take the stand. The testimony of
ABC officer W. F. Thrower con
cerning a raid on her house com
posed the state’s case, though
several other officers reportedly
stood by to take the stand if
needed, including Robbins Chief
Alexander.
This was not the first raid on
Mrs. Safriet’s home, Thrower
said, one about two weeks earlier
having also netted some illicit
whiskey. Her husband is on the
roads for whiskey law violation,
and her five children in the care
of the welfare department. He
said there had been “numerous
complaints” about her case.
She was sentenced to serve
eight months in the Women’s Di
vision of Central Prison—her sec
ond stay there.
Some other cases of the first
day of the crminal term: Jonah
Powers, Teddy Roosevelt Atkins,
Kenneth Hamm, escape from
prison camp (second offense),
six months each, to be served at
expiration of present sentences;
Howard Garner, public drunken
ess, judgment continued on pay
ment of cost?; Edward Lee Autry,
speeding 70, same; J. C. Walker,
illcit whiskey for sale, 30 days
suspended for 12 months on pay
ment of $25 and costs; Hurley
McKeithen, possession and trans
porting illicit whiskey for sale,
four months suspended for two
years on payment of $150 and
costs; Toy and Elizabeth Cobb,
larceny of less than $100, one
suspended on payment of one-
half the costs each. i

What is happening to your tax dollars?
When you look into it, you find
some of your taxes are spent need
lessly for federal “public power.”
The pressure groups for govern
ment electricity are busy right now,
trying to get $10,000,000,000 in tax
money for federal "public power”
projects in certain areas of the
country—unnecessarily—because
independent electric companies like
yours are able and ready to provide
all the electricity the nation needs.
More than $5,500,000,000 has
already been spent on these costly
“public power” projects. Does it
make any sense to spend still more?
CAROLINA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY
David Wilton Powers, 16, of
Carthage, counted “One-two-
three!” to start a drag race be
tween two cars driven, by teen
age friends, only seconds before
one of them, plunging out of con
trol, hurtled him to his death.
Testimony of the drivers of
both cars, however, was that the
drag race on the Union Church
Road ended about as soon as it
began, as the one driven by Carl
James Michael immediately out
distanced that driven by Thomas
Layton Frye, and Frye stopped
as the other went out of sight
down the road. The race was to
have ended, by agreement, any
how, “as soon as one of us got up
to 50 miles an hour,” both said.
Starting his car up again to go
home, Frye said he rounded a
curve to come on Michael’s wreck
ed car. Powers, who hkd been
Michael’s passenger, had been
thrown out into a ditch, and it
turned out his neck was broken
and he was dead. Michael went
to a hospital with head and back
