Two Mules Killed by
Lightning Last Week
--■
Corporal Tom Brown, of the State
Highway Patrol, who told the Bea
con about a mule being killed by
lightning near Roper Wednesday of
last week, had a few of the facts
mixed up in his report. In the first
place, not one mule was killed, but
two. Neither of the mules belonged
to Tom Dillon and the bolt didn't hit
on the R. W. Lewis farm.
One of the two mules killed be
longed to J J. Hassell, while the
other one was owned by W. A.
Koonce. and they were on separate
farms in the Mill Pond section near
Roper. A peculiar circumstance was
that the lightning which killed the
mules did not set either of the barns
on fire where the animals were sta
bled.

YOUR CAR,
You can give your car the same protection against wear that the
Army gives many of its “Jeeps”, tanks and other vehicles. Just
see your nearby Sinclair Dealer. He has Sinclair lubricants of
the same quality used by the U. S. Army.
To save wear on your engine, ask for Sinclair Opaline Motor Oil.
Opaline stands up better and lasts longer because it is de-waxed
and de-jellied. Have your Sinclair Dealer drain and refill your
crankcase with Opaline every 1,00U miles.

Nine Cases Tried
At County Court
Session Tuesday
W. B. Cox Serves at Clerk
For First Time Since
Appointment
There were nine cases in recorder's
court Tuesday but they were dis
posed of in rapid-fire order by Judge
Gaylord and Solicitor Sidney A.
Ward, the latter making his fare
well appearance in the court before
returning to Fort Bragg today to
begin training in the Army. The
county commissioners have made no
indication thus far as to who will
be appointed to succeed Mr. Ward as
solicitor of the county court.
W. B. Cox made his first appear
ance as assistant clerk at the Tuesday
session of the court, due to the ab
sence of W. M Darden the regular
clerk, who also left for the Army
today. The war has completely dis
rupted the original organization of
the local recorder’s court. W. Blount
Rodman, solicitor, was the first to
go to the Army, leaving several
months ago. and Sidney A. Ward was
appointed to fill his place. Now Mr.
Ward has gone to the Army, as well
as W. M. Darden, the clerk, and
Recorder W. Ronald Gaylord ex
pects to go into some branch of the
service before the end of the year.
Proceedings at the session Tuesday
were as follows:
Allen Rouse entered a plea of guil
ty to forcible trespass and prayer for
judgment was continued until Sep
tember 1.
James Otis Boston and Isaiah Hill
were charged with burning logging
equipment and stealing gasoline. On
motion of the state's attorney. Judge
Gaylord entered a nol pros over the
objection of the defendants’ counsel,
Carl L. Bailey.

drunken driving and operating a mo
tor vehicle after his operator's license
had been revoked, was fined $100 and
costs, and his license to drive was
revoked for three years.

per equipment.
J. D. Downing likewise plead guil
ty to operating a motor vehicle with
out an operator's license and was
fined $5 and costs.
Dallas Janies also plead guilty and
was fined $5 and costs for operation
of a motor vehicle without proper
equipment.

hicle without proper equipment.

SCRAP METAL
'Continued from Page One'
uie receipts after tne scrap is sold
to a dealer.
It is also planned by the commit
tee to have scrap metals picked up
whenever a full truck load can be
assembled at any one place. C. E.
Ayers has agreed to send his truck
to any place in the county to pick up
scrap if a full load can be secured and
delivered directly to a junk dealer at
any one of a half dozen near-by
towns. Mr. Ayers cannot handle it
if the junk has to be reloaded or re
handled in any manner. He said
that about seven or eight tons would
make a truck load.
Local civic organizations through
out the county will be called on to
assist in the drive, according to the
local co-chairmen. In addition to
scrap iron and steel, materials to be
collected are brass and other non
ferrous metals, rubber, rope and fats.
The county salvage committee is
composed of the following: Plym
outh: H. H. McLean and W. V. Hays,
co-chairmen; B G. Campbell, Miller
Warren. P. W. Brown, E. E. Harrell.
Mrs. W. J. Highsmith, Mrs. B. G.

Rev. B. E. Taylor. R. L. Tetterton.

Knowles, R. B. Trotman, Clyde Har
dison. Betty Lloyd and Lillie Mae
Moore; Roper: H. S. Everett and
Charles Floyd: Creswell: C. N. Daven
port, sr., and A. H. Tucker.
In appealing for everyone to help,
the co-chairmen issued the follow
ing statement:
An increasing nuinoer oi uuys
from the county are already seeing
active service. We on the home front
must see to it that industry shall not
lack the materials needed for ade
quately arming and equipping them.
"Every housewife can play an im
portant part in this drive. She
should carefully inspect all of her
house furnishings—to find out what
equipment she has that has outlived
its usefulness.
"An old iron pot or a knife in the
kitchen, the steel springs of an old
upholstered chair in the attic, some
discarded pipe or heating equipment
in the cellar, unused wire clothes
hangers in a closet—these are a few
of the items that will provide pounds
and pounds of scrap.
"Waste kitchen pots, and rubber,
are also needed badly and should be
turned in.
"Please get out this scrap—and get
in the scrap.”
Rev. W. B. Daniels, Jr.,
Will Preach at Roper
The Rev. William B. Daniels, jr.,
minister in charge of Grace Church
Plymouth, and St. Luke’s, Roper,
will hold a service of morning prayer

Young people of St. Luke's Roper,
are requested to meet at the church
at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon to

rf a young people’s service league.
PEANUTS
'Continued from Page One'
In line with this change, he said,
j provisions this year call for issuance
; of only one marketing card to each
peanut producer. This simplified
form will serve for keeping records
of disposition of peanuts and will
provide for marketing of an amount
of peanuts equal to the normal yield
of a farm's acreage allotment. If it
is later determined that the actual
production is greater, a quota adjust
ment may be obtained from the coun
ty AAA committee. Peanuts sold in
excess of the marketing quota are
subject to a penalty of three cents
per pound.
These regulations apply only to
peanuts sold for human consump- :
tion. such as peanut butter, candy
and prepared nuts. Penalties are
not aplied to peanuts grown in
crushing Into oil.
Another change in the regulations
this year, he said, is placing under
market quota regulations peanuts
picked by hanq|. In the past, only
peanuts picked by mechanical means
were subject to quota regulations.
The national acreage of peanuts
this year is about 4,800,000 acres,
more than in any past year. The
large increase in acreage was asked
by the federal government to meet
wartime needs for vegetable oils,
and to replace supplies formerly im
ported from the Far East.
