;e Changes Guilty Plea To Not Guilty Of Assault King Henry Love, of Ri. I, Raeford, went to Dlstrit Courl to plead guilty to assaulting an 84-year-old nan with a pocket knife, but after hearing the testimony, Judge Joseph Dupree had the guilty plea stricken and found him nut guilty. After pleading guilty, Love testified that Tom Mcintosh had pointed a loaded shotgun at him and when he grabbed the gun, he and the old man had fallen and Mcintosh had been cut on ihe chin. Love said he had a pocket knife in his hand when he reached for the gun. Judge Dupree questioned Mcintosh, who al first denied and then later said he did aim a shotgun at Love. Before passing judgement, Judge Dupree explained to the crowded courtroom why he had spenl so much time on a routine assault case in which Ihe defendant had already pleaded guilty. "This tnan (love) is accused of assaulting an 84-year-old man and if I had found that to be the case, I would have given him every day the law allowed. But because I wanted to make sure before sending a man off to prison, I have giuie into the matter in some detail and on hearing the testimony. I am convinced thai the cutting happened in the way the defendant said u did -? "this is. accidentally, as a result of a scuffle. "No one should ever come to courl and plead guilty to a serious offense unless he is. in fact, guilty. And one one should never conic to court for a serious o f f e n c s e unrepresented. It takes a tool to represent himself," Dupree said. "Alter hearing the witnesses in this case, the court is of an opinion that the defendant is not guilty and orders the defendant's plea of guilty stricken and enters a plea of not guilty for the defendant." Love was found not guilty. David Propst of Rt. 2. Raelord was found not guilty of maintaining a nuisance and Randy Propst. Ins son. was found not guilty of trespess. Asron Smith and Aaron Smith. Jr.. prosecution witness, were found guilty of I'rivolious and ~ malicious prosecuting and were ordered to pay the courl costs.

Schools, recreation facilities, cultural centers, and service institutions are but reflections of the wealth created in trade and industry. No wonder, then, that the "trade-at-home" drives consume so much attention in many communities. The vitality of a community suffers in many ways when its citizens are drawn to distant shopping centers. When prices and services in the local community are competitive with those in other trade centers, who should be blamed when local money fiows out of town? The chamber of commerce'.' Perhaps, if the organization does nothing to promote the community. The newspaper'1 Perhaps, if the newspaper does not give editorial and news space to encourage local trade Or, is the local consumer responsible'.' Perhaps, if the consumer is not actually getting more for his money away from town. But much loo often the loss of local trade is an advertisinf failure for which the merchant himself is responsible. When a consumer goes to s distant shopping center. som< kind of advertising ha: convinced him that he will ge a better deal there. The only sound answer to the problem i: counter-advertising by loca merchants which tell specifically about the qualitj of merchandise in the loca market.
