Special Venire Set; Land Suit Pre-emptorily Set in Jones Court Judge Sumner Burgwyn last week agreed to continue until the civil term of Jones County Su perior Court the law suit brought by Ethan Mills and his wife. Lil lie Brown Mills, against Wesley Jones and Raeford Blizzard. But Judge Burgwyn did all in his power to assure that the case would be tried at that time: He ordered it to be the first contested case tried at that October session and further ordered that a special venire of jurors be summoned from Craven County because of the nature of the case and of the wide spread acquantances some of the 'litigants have in Jones County,. In the suit the Mills couple al lege that Jones and Blizzard at tempted to take two tracts of land they own in Tuckahoe township by substitution of a deed for a mor tage. The couple admits they owed Jones and Blizzard some money but their allegation is that they never agreed to give their land to pay off that debt, but they did agree to give a mortgage on the land to insure payment of the debt. They further allege that in ad dition to the substitution of a deed for a mortgage, both tracts of the land they own were put in the deed rather than only one tract that they had agreed to mortgage. Their complaint alleges that this second tract of land was added both to the deed and to the records in the officee of the Jones County Register of Deeds after the first paper had been drawn. The Mills complaint asks for $35,000 actual damages and for $50,000 punitive damages from Blizzard and Jones. Meanwhile an injunction has stopped timber cut ting operations on, the land invol ved until the question of true own ership of the land- is settled.
