Out Cold Cash
: W. B, Faircloth probably did
not mean to put Duplin County to
any more trouble than necessary
when he started to receiving his
old age benefits, but as things
turned out, he is costing them tor
three months maintenance.
Faircloth applied for and receiv
ed his old age assistance.' One
month's beneiits were paid, and
he decided to move to Sampson
county. According to the law, af
ter two more payments Sampson
would, .take, over that . expense.
Another payment was made,
making it two . down and one Jo
go. But on the day his third pay
ment came due, he came by for it
while on his way to a new home
in Onslow county. Now Duplin is
obligated to make his payments for
three more months, untu ne es-
tablishes residence in Onslow Au-
Ithorities are thinking strongly o.
building a fence around his house
until those payments are made.

The regular session of Superior:
Court held , under Judge Cranmer '
this week, adjourned Monday aft
erncon after completing one day's

the early , adjournment . was
the fact that many of the-, .law

settled cases out of court to such '
an extent that the docket did not
justify the expense of a week of
court. .
The second week of the regular
session will begin next Monday
morning, ana will be followed on
Monday, December 20th, with a '
term of county court. Both weeks
of this session of Superior Court
