H. S. Burgwyn and a goodly number of spectators here last Tuesday afternoon. After hearing all the sordid charges, some of them almost certain to have been advanced without foundation. Judge Burgwyn look ed upon six little children, ex pressed a deep sympathy for them and declared that they were the real victims. Literally chased from her home f a few weeks ago. Mis. Lloyd Mi zelle Harrison appealed to the I courts for alimony without di vorce. Officers and others stated that all the sordid facts were not brought out in the hearing, but enough shocking charges were made to cause one to wonder how long society can advance with ils very foundation crumbling be neath it. Among other things, the de fendant alleged he was not the father of the ll month old baby held by the mother in her arms during the hearing. Other charges were made by him, but they did not seem to impress the court. It was alleged that the de fendant had taken company with another woman, a Mrs. Oliver, and one report even maintained that the father carried her into the home as a highly trained nurse to officiate at the birth of the sixth child. Serious charges were intimated at 1hat time,, but nothing was done about them It was also charged that the de fendant had attempted to prepare, after a sneaking, common and low-down fashion, a trap where by he could enter the courts and seek a divorce on the grounds of adultery. The trap apparently was not perfected, and then it was charged that the defendant hired a taxi, and, in the company of his new friend, literally drove Ins wife from their home not far from Williamston. Mrs. Harrison and the baby are now at home with her mother. For more than two hours the '•barges were advanced bv the,j litigants. Judge Burgwyn, his eyes turning often to the bright little victims, deciding that the wife was to receive one-third of tho net income from the l<l4ti crops The six children, their ages rang (Continued on page six) -« Copper Returning From War Service —*— Out of reach of illicit distilleries and many others, too, during the war years and for months after the fighting was over, copper is returning for use in various chan nels. Alcoholic Beverage Curd: Of ficer J. H. Roebuck and his as sistant. Deputy Roy Peel, recently captured three illicit copper ket tles in the county. Unable to get sheet copper, the illicit distillers in the county used oil drums for kettles and the wooden still in creased in number. Last month the officers picked up five stills, two of them copper ones. Nearly 500 gallons of beer wt e found and poured out, but apparently the owners were just starting operations, the officers stating they found no liquor at any of the plants. So far this month the officers have wrecked five plants, includ ing three equipped with copper stills. The first of the‘plants, in cluding a 50-gallon capacity cop per kettle, six 50 gallon capacity fermenters and 150 gallons of sugar beer, was wrecked in Rob ersonville Township early in the period. The second plant, equip ped with a 50-gallon tin kettle and three fermenters, was wreck ed in Bear Grass. Returning to the same section on Tuesday ot iasi week the officers wrecked an oil drum and four fermenters and poured out 100 gallons of molass es beer. In Free Union last Thursday two copper stills, one of 100 gallon capacity and the other of 50 gal-1 Ion capacity, were captured, the officers pouring out 300 gallons of | molasses beer.

"If most of the vehicle owners purchase the $1 tags, all should purchase them,” the board reasoned. Should the sale strike a snag, the mayor was directed to institute court proceedings.

Out of 3.316 children en rolled in the white schools, 3.241 were in attendance upon the sev eral schools each day on an aver age. The report was declared to be one of the most encouraging to come from the school system in this county in quite some years. While the record is not perfect, it reflects a greater interest on the part of parents and the children themselves in education and of taking every possible advantage of educational opportunities. Pos sibly too many children are still remaining out of school, but any time all but 75 out of 3.316 report for school work each day, the record isn't at all bad. Hamilton led the list with the highest daily attendance figure, the school there missing a perfect score by only five-tenths of one percent.

Although relegated to a secondary position by tobacco marketing, the lowly peanut will come into its own next week when harvesting is slat ed to get under way on a large scale. A few farmers in the Hassell section started digging the crop early this week, and reports from that area point to a fairly good crop, or one superior to the 1945 harvest. The crop, as a whole, in this county, is almost certain to fall short of normal produc tion. In some sections, es pecially in the Smithwicks Creek community, the crop is said to be an almost total loss. Many acres have been aban doned there and in other sec tions of the county.
