MORE ABOUT Rep. Redden (Continued from Page One) Horse Shoe Man Back At Work; Thanks Scalf's For New Life m. J. Mucin ns Mr. M. J. Hudgins, Route Horse Shoe, N. C, is one of thousands who have just cause to praise Scalf's Indian River Medi cine. It is no wonder he says Scalf's is the best medicine he ever tried (or, ag he declares: "For twenty-two years I had spells of stom ach misery that were often so sev ere I couldn't sleep or rest. My ap petite would become so weak I I Couldn't Eat Anything Without Suffer ing From Gassy Stomach Couldn't Sleep Was Too Weak To Scalf's Made Me Feel Like A New Man And I'm Able To Work Now." "In the old days, each man farmed for himself. He learned by trial and error. The farmer has kept his nose to the grindstone too much around his own farm, with out looking into the future and organizing on his own behalf," said the speaker. "This is the day when those who fail to organize re sim ply counted out of the economic picture ..." Rep. Redden praised the State Farm Bureau. "It is a great farm organization," said he. "It repre sents the needs of the farmer and it works in harmony with all other farm organizations. I suggest that the farmer should be a member of the great farm organizations of this country . . . they cannot survive without his cooperation." "The Farm Bureau," Redden told the audience, "has meant a great deal to you in dollars. One of the greatest accomplishments of the Bureau was its promotion of the idea to stabilize farm prices. Now parity prices insure the farmer get ting the right price for his crop. Today the farmer who sets out corn or tobacco knows he will get the same price as everybody else." The congressman said that a sure barometer of prices was to watch the farmers along the streets of Waynesville. "When a man has sold his crop and lie walks along the street, not looking at anything, not speaking to anyone, you know that prices are bad. But when he I looks happy and wants to talk to everyone, prices are right." j Redden looked into the future and saw bright prospects for the farmers of this county. "I wouldn't I be surprised if you were produc ing 2.000 bushels of corn per acre one of these days," predicted the ! speaker. "The fanner is coming into his own in this slate. With the new ! administration coming in, we have ' a governor who is interested in the farmer s welfare and will work for him.'' The audience applauded at this remark. j Rep. -Redden concluded that i "modern ideas have made Haywood county great. Organization will make it greater.

She said she did not men tion the incident to anyone, not even her mother, until Monday morning. She remained fn bed all day Sunday, and for the following two weeks. She described the bruises on her legs and body. Upon cross examination, for 20 minutes, the plaintiff said she was two-months pregnant when she married Horace Pressley on July 6, 1944. The baby was born on January 25, 1945. the testimony showed. She did not live with Pressley after the marriage, and has since gotten a divorce. The plaintiff testified that the al leged act took place on the front seat of the car. Dr. J. L. Reeves, a well known physician, was the next witness to take the staand, and told of prac ticing for 35 years. He said he ex amined Mrs. Pressley on Monday following the alleged attack on Saturday night. He said he could not tell whether she had been rap ed or not, as there was no evidence to prove it upon examination. The Canton physician said the patient was nervous, and had two or maybe three bruises or blue spots on her leg and thigh. He said she com plained of being sdle about the chest. Dr. Reeves said he had her come back to his office two times following the first examination for further check-ups. After the noon recess. Dr. Reeves told the court that he could not declare positively what had caused the blue marks on the girl's body, that they could he of traumatic ori gin. In answer to questioning by Attorney John Queen, he said that he could not tell at the examina tion two days later whether she had had intercourse. Mrs. Cora Sharp, mother of the girl, then took the stand. She told the court, "My daughter left the house at about 7 o'clock to go to town. She came in soon after 9 o'clock. She was real sick when she returned and very nervous." Mrs. Sharp said that her daughter told her that she was picked up in town in front of Sluder's Furni ture Store by Lewis Wright, taken onto a dirt road, and raped. In reply to questioning by the state's attorneys, the mother said that her daughter's body was "bad ly bruised and scratched upon her return home." When Attorney John Queen asked her if she had ob served her daughter s body before that time, she replied yes. "I saw her while she was bathing before she left and she was not bruised," said Mrs. Sharp. Mrs. Sharp stated that her daughter stayed in bed for two weeks after the night of the alleged crime. The father of the girl, Mr. Sharp, was then called to the stand. He corroborated his wife's statement. "She was sick all day Sunday," said Mr. Sharp of his daugiiter. "She told me that the boy drove up to her while she waited for a bus and asked to take her home. Instead of taking her home, he drove up through Highland Park, turned off a side road, stopped the car, and saying nothing, threw her down in the front seat and raped her. She told me that he brought her back to town then and dumped her out in front of the house, saying that if she told anything, he would get her." Mr. Sharp was visibly shaken as he gave his testimony. Mrs. Kate Nichols, niece of Mrs. Sharp, said that she visited the house on Monday morning. The girl was deathly ill. according to Mrs. Nichols. "I saw bruises and long scratches on her body and thighs." said she. The defense then called in five character witnesses. They were W D. Hawkins of Canton, D. A. Dean a former resident of Canton, Ben nut-iiiHiny oi uanton. and Mrs. Shepherd of Canton, and Mitt Wil liams of Canton. Mrs. Grace Shepherd said that she saw Mrs. Pressley on Sunday morning after the alleged crime, in her adjoining backyard.

Dr. Branscomb said the three R's were, romance, responsibility and reward. He termed the ro mance as an appreciation of the many blessings we have, and said "God is romance, and all the cre ation." As for responsibility he pointed out that members should attend tegularly, and take their member ship in any organization seriously. He said attendance was one of the biggest problems facing t h e churches today. The reward of being a faithful and working member, comes in see ing things accomplished, and oth ers made happier, he concluded. His talk was broadcast over WHCC.

He went back to the camp, Wright said, borrowed a friend's Buick and took the girl home "1 would say we got home around 10:30," said Wright. "She told me to come back the next night and I said maybe I would." The defendant told the court that he had been married, was now divorced, and had a small son.

Care as to personal hygiene habits of all employees at work and at home. We advise they keep away from congested areas, especially tourist areas, and not use Dublic swimming places. We advise they make only necesasry J trips to any potential epiaenui area and use every precaution when they have to go. "4. As a special note to all camp ers, we advise positively that no new shdrt-term registrations be accepted. This is in line with the policy we have outlined, with the Daniel Boone Boy Scout Camp having been closed, and other camps not accepting short-term campers. It is necessary that we make this requirement. "5. It is to be noted that we are not advising the closing of any group meetings involving people of our own areas, although definitely advising special care in protecting children from any possible con tact with individuals from epi demic areas. In other words, our plans are made to minimize any spread of the neighboring epi demic to our area. Our situation at present is surprisingly satisfac tory. We have no cases In Hay wood county, Macon county nor the Cherokee Indian Reservation.
