Capital Felony Charge Reduced
To Misdemeanor
Norwood W. Cavenaugh, 17,
of Wallace tendered a plea of
guilty of nonfelonious breaking
and entering through his at
torneys, E.C. Thompson, III
of Warsaw and B.R. Batts of
Wallace in the Superior Court
of Duplin County last week,
Judge Albert W. Cowper pre
siding. Judge Cowper imposed
a 2 year suspended sentence
on young Cavenaugh while pl
acing the youth on 3 years pro
bation.
Cavenaugh had been charged
with burglary in connection with
entering the home of W. E. St

B.R. Batts, in a conversation
in Mr. Batts' office stated that;'
young Cavenaugh had admit

no other apparent reason other
than "l just wanted to know.Jf
wever.^jwing Cavenaugh was
ade of ministers, teachers and
was given that young Cavenaugh
may be suffering from an in
feriority complex.
The charge of burglary is
a capital felony in which there
must be proof for a convic
tion that a house or other ha
bltabie dew'.ling was enteed in
the night time while the dw
elling was occupied with the in
tent to commit a felony. De
fense attorney, E.C.Thompson,
III, in his argument to the court,
submitted that in many cases
a lesser plea was entered in
a compromise fashion and so
metimes due to a person's good
record of character. While ac
knowledging that the defendant
in, this action had an impec
able character, Thompson con
tended that the State had no
evidence that the defendant in
tended to commit any felony.
Judge Cowper concurred with
the argument of counsel and
ruled there was no evidence of
any intent to commit a felony.
Judge Cowper further stated
that this case was very stran

Poultry Jubilee October 2-5
The Rose Hill Junior
Chamber of Com Tierce In co
operation with the local busi
nesses and the North Carolina
Poultry Federation take
pleasure in announcing plans for
this year's "North Carolina <
Poultry Jubilee" Festivities in
Rose Hill.
This annual event was first
staged in 1963 with the Idea of
focusing attention upon this very
important segment of-agricul
ture in the state, and to pay
a special tribute to the Poultry
Industry in Southeastern North
Carolina.
Due to the vast growth of
the Poultry Industry in North
Carolina, die Rose HillJaycees
have decided to expand the
Jubilee In conjunction with the
North Carolina Poultry Feder
ation to make this an annual
state wide event. .

supply the majority of the
millions of chickens and turkeys
raised annually In the area,
feed milling operations have
been established and enlarged to
service the grow-out operations
>f the birds, furnishing feed
and technical assistance. A
processing plant In Rose Hill
presently serves this area by
dressing an average of 6000
birds per hour, and an annual
Slaughter of many millions of ?
broilers. There is now In
Wallace a processing plant for
turkeys. In Burgaw, a com
mercial egg processing oper
ation has furnished a market for
the great increase in com
mercial egg production of this
area. Now a poultry by
products plant is in operation
in Rose Hill. This plant con
verts the by-products of the

Farmer isi aided In the control

located in Rose Hill. Hundreds
of farmers have become a vital
part of this economic growth
by building poultry houses and
becoming growers of this area's
chicken, egg and turkey produc
tion. Thus many thousand
families throughout the state
and nation each day eat a meal
of the delicious and nutritious
poultry from Rose Hill, North
Carolina.
We think, therefore that the
econmic importance of this
growing Poultry Industry is
reason for this "Day of Recog
nition" and perhaps you will
understand if we wish to "crow"
or "gobble" a little about this
area's accomplishments. The
Poultry Jubilee will offer an
opportunity for the farmer, the
public and friends of the in
dustry to view some of the
