C. TEN CENTS PER COPY v««w>l I3.W PER YEAR William P. Amos, 68, Former Raeford Man, Passes In Kinston . Former Raeford Policeman M. N. Cook cialled this weekend said^ he wanted credit for going with the sheriff on his raid to Allen’s place. In my mention of this raid last week I did not mention Cook because, while the sheriff had told me he was along, he also told me Cook was not a deputy. The cre dit due Cook seems somewhat dubious anyway, as the sheriff said he sent Cook to the rear of the place to watch, and that Cook didn’t stay out back but came on in. I still think the sheriff thinks what he was hunting went out the Ijack, as I said last week. Allen came to see me last Thursday, too. He said he didn’t see how anything could have been taken out the back when there was a deputy out there, meaning Cook. I told him' the sheriff said Cook wasn’t a deputy and he said he sure didn’t like a fellow run ning around his place with a pistol acting as much like an officer as Cook did if he wasn’t one. Some point to that argument, too, seems to me. Sheriff D. H. Hodgin and De puty Crawford Wright did a good job in bringing one Edson Hodges to justice this week, I think. A Fayetteville white man, he was charged with being the brains and capital behind the liquor,still which Cecil Locklear, 17-year- old Indian, was convicted of op erating two weeks ago. Judge Greene found hiiii^guilty and gave him a two-year road Sentence Y^hich he appealed. This it seems to me. is getting at the root of some of the evil. We quoted D. Scott Poole here several weeks ago to the effect that J. Worthy Johnson, Thomas and Joseph Upchurch all owned automobiles in 1918, and that these were the first around here. David A. Smith, local radio expert, thinks the year 1918' may be a little off. He says that his father, the'late J. P. Smith, manufacturer of the famous Smith plow, bought a second hand 1909 Model Cadil lac in 1915. David doesn’t know whether he- got it around he#e or not, but he still has the 1915 li cense tag which was number N. C. 898 in white numerals on a black background. - William Pinkney Amos, 69, re tail furniture dealer and former owner of a chain of furniture stores, died at his home in Kins ton last Saturday morning after several years of ill health. He opened the Amos Furniture Store here during the war and was here for several years. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Della Amos; two sons, W. P. Jr., of Asheboro, and Thomas L. Amos of Raeford; a daughter, Mrs. G. D. Pearson of Raeford; three bro thers, J. E., R. T. and C. L. Amos of High Point; two sisters, Mrs. P. P. Troxler and Mrs. D. C. Smith of R,eidsville. * Funeral was held Simday morn ing in Kinston and the body was taken to Reidsville where a Graveside service was held at three o’clock Sunday afternoon. 0 To Hold Upholstering Class Tomorrow On Friday, May 23, beginning at 10:00 'A. M., Mrs. Kay Riggle, Extension House Finishing Spec ialist from State College, Raleigh^ will give a demonstration on Re upholstering Furniture.

Returning To Local IPLANS ARE ANNOUNCED FOR Schools Next Year since mentioning the school board last week it has been called to my attention that Mrs. A. H. McPhaul is a teachar in the J. W. McLauchlin Elementary school while her husband is on the Rae ford school district committee which does "'the hiring and firing of the teachers and is otherwise responsible for the administra tion of the school. Now both Mr. and Mrs. McPhaul are known as persons of unquestioned integri ty and both are undoubtedly of great value to the school system tfowever, as it was pointed out to me, such a situation might set a precedent which could be taken advantage of at some later-date by other person^ apd not to the best Interests of the operation of the schools.

Lee Bizzell, Senior Instruc tor of the North Carolina Nation- ^al Guard, is an Infantry Colonel with 36 years Army service who thought he was going to retire this year. Due to the situation, however, he is going from this job to an active command. He attended drill last Tuesday with the St. Pauls unit and told the men' in leaving that they were “members of one of the best batta lions if not the best in the State,’ and that “your battalion com mander is outstanding, both per sonally and as a soldier.” This was quite a pat on the back for Lt.
