A salesman from out-of-town
this morning threatened to sell
merchandise coupon books from
other cities here, following the
refusal of the Merchants Asso
ciation’s Secret Solicitations
Committee to approve or en
dorse his promotion for this
community.
Mrs. Jane 'Whitefield, said that
a man who gave his name as
Kincaid sought approval to so
licit businessmen to offer mer
chandise or services at a dis-
codnt in a coupon book that
would purporcedly sell for a
fraction oi- Uic total separate and
regular cost of these items.

The district resident judge en-
Mined the defendants, Mrs. Cora ^
Sejester, Mrs. Alice Ince, Mrs. Sal- j
ly Atkinson, George Atkinson, j
lames H. Atkinson, and attorney j
Tames R. Farlow, from disposing 1
.of all real and personal property
following the pre,sentation of Mr.
Wilson’s affidavit by attorneys
John T, Manning and Bonner D.
Sawyer. , ,
The three women are awaiting
trial in the December term of
Orange County Superior Court for
the October 23 Midnapping and
beating of the Orange Grove dairy
farmer’s wife. Mrs. Wilson recent
ly filed a $50,000 civil action
against them for damages in the
alleged incident, and asked the
court to prevent their dispo.sing ol
their assets. _
In his affidavit to Judge Can
Mr Wilson alleged that the Orange
County deed books showed that
on November 3rd Mr. and Mrs.
George Atkinson had deeded
their 101-acre tobacco farm neai
Orange Grove to attorney Farlow
for a reputed consideration ot $i,-
000, and further that Mr. Far ow
had then deeded 50 acres to James

the secret committee said that
the Committee had "not approv
ed, recommended, or endorsed”
the scheme. Upon being notified
of this she said that the man
"threatened” to sell coupon
books from other towns locally
it the Association tried to stop
them from soliciting here. Mrs.
Whitefield noted that the Asso
ciation could not prevent the
man's soliciting business here,
but that "The Association feels
this venture is not in the best
interests of merchants here.
According to her the man (Mr.
Kincaid) said he planned to send
in a crew of persons here next
week to telephone everybody in
the local phone book to sell the
coupon books to local citizens via
telephone.
A coupon book scheme has
been offered by non-local per
sons in several other nearby
towns recently. In Hillsboro v.st
week considerable ire was arous
ed among merchants over a book
offered for S3.95 that was alleged
to contain $65 in merchandise
and service value.
The game protector listed the
following places in this area where
hunting licenses can be obtained:
Carolina Sport Shop, Huggins
Hardware, Knight-Campbell Hard
