Both are 1930 models, with the Rolls made in England and the Ford pickup in the U.S.A. In 1930, the Rolls Royce sold for $30,000 and the Ford for $550. Today, over 50 years later, the Rolls has a value of between $20 and $30,000 and the Ford, which is in mint condition, $10,000. The Rolls. Royce has maintained its selling price, so to speak, and the Ford has moved up quite a bit ? from $550 to $10,000. The Rolls Royce is owned by Brooks Jones of Hubert; the Ford model A pickup by Wilbur Tyndall of Pink Hill. Both autos were o ; 1 jplay at thececently held Farm City Fair in Aenansvill#. The Fond pickup was bought newby Claudte Slimmer of Duplin County.. .It was said a little baling wire and you could fix anything on a Model A. It came equipped with a monkey wrench, a lug wrench, and a screw-type jack. In case of a flat tire, which was frequently, the jack was placed on the ground under the axle, a long crooked handle was inserted in the base of the jack and around and around you turned. Most often it took another person to hold the jack while it was turned. Least ways, in the beginning. The Rolls Royce. on the other hand, had a built-in jack at each wheel. You simply inserted a handle and with a "neckingknob"turned away, lifting whichever wheel you wanted to. To remove the wheel was another thing. A special tool turned and depressed an outer hub so the inner hub could be screwed off. The carburetor tc the Rolls has a plate op it stating it was set by professionals and you are not to mess with it. The Rolls engine is a6-cylinder and th<- Ford a 4-cylinder. The English license plate on the Rolls Royce was issued to it when it was bought and stays with it until if is je rked, 'n North Carolir a, the licrn-f plate e.oes with the man and not the'ear. The famous intet locking "Rs" on the front of the Rolis were once painted red. Now they are black, the color having changed after Mr. Rolls' death. It was stated, "To buy a Rolls Royce is to go against the establishment, for the vehicle is a lifetime car, while most companies build cars to self-destruct in a few years." Pair Sells Mariiuana To SBI * Hugh Curtis Smith, 35, of Route 1, Pink Hill, and Earl Douglas Stroud, 37, or Route 2, Vanceboro, were charged by undercover SB1 agents , with trafficking in marijuana. Smith was also charged with resisting arrest. Following the arrests, the pair was jailed in Duplin County Jail in Kenansville. They were released under a $25,000 bond each. The "buy" began in Vanceboro, according to Duplin County Sheriffs De partment Detective Glenn Howard Up Rings Following the instructions of admitted murderer Rev. Sheldon Howard, police last week found, concealed be hind his former church, two diamond rings that had been missing from the murdered woman's home. Howard last week pleaded guilty to second degree murder in the April death of prominent businesswoman Inez Quinn Jernigan, 53. Mrs. Jernigan was found beaten and stabbed April 22 in her home north of Kenansville. Howard, who was once her pastor, had borrowed $20,000 from Mrs. Jernigan, a loan which came due on the day of her death. According to District At torney William Andrews, Howard admitted taking the rings ? valued at about $24,000 ? during a pre sentence interview on Mon day with probation officers. Police found the rings buried under a pile of bricks behind the Northeast Ori ginal Free Will Baptist Church, where Howard was minister at the time of the murder. The rings later were identified by Mrs. Jemigan's daughter. Howard, meanwhile, will undergo several weeks of psychiatric examination at Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh before being, sen tenced. 4 Jernigan. An undercover SBI agent set up the buy for 125 pounds with Stroud in Vanceboro, where they got into an auto and\drove to a ? tobacco barn in Duplin County located between Albertson and Pink Hill. However, the pay-off was not in cash but with an SB1 badge. The two were ar retted and charged with trafficking in marijuana. Smith was also charged with resisting arrest. Another 16 pounds of marijuana was found. It was all "home grown" and in plastic gar bage bags. Under tKfc hew trafficking law enacted during this past session of the Legislature, when more than 100 pounds are involved, if conveicted there is a mandatory prison sentence of st ven years. The first appearance is scheduled for this week. The Sheriffs Department' said home grown marijuana sells for about S300 per pound.
