itarian officer with Cleveland
County Health Department, re
ports that the department has re
ceived numerous complaints from
persons who have had septic
tanks cleaned by "fly-by-nlght
steptic tank men".
Mr. Strickland stated the "fly
by-night" cleaners only stay a
.few days in each community us
ually have a little vacum-type
pump mounted on a pick-up truck
With a tank. In order to secure the
job of cleaning a septic tank, he
further stated, thfe septic tank
owner is shown the hard grease
layer and is told by the men that
the septic tank will give trouble
in the next few days. The men,
he further continued, pull the wa
ter from the tank and often
charge as much as a new installa
tion. .
Mr. Strickland advises that any
tlipe work Is done on a septic
'tank, the owner should call the
health department before the job
Is completed, and, in order to In
sure a correct Job, always get a
permit from the department be
fore payment is made.
The following three steps to de
termine 11 a septic tank nteeds
cleaning are recommended, he
said:
1) Uncover inlet compartment
of septic tank. Use a garden hoe
and push through the hard grease
layter on top.
2) Measure the depth of the
liquid under the grease by letting
the hoe down until it meets some
thing fairly solid. This is sludge.
3) Push hoe through sludge to
bottom of tank. Now you know
the dtepth of the sludge an dthe
depth of the tank. Remember if
the sludge is 2 feet deep or more,
or if the liquid Is leas than two
feet deep, your tank needs clean
ing out.

GASTON I A ? When Ellmanay
Cureton. 30-year-old Negro moth
er of three children, took the
stand In Gaston superior court
Wednesday shortly alter noon it
looked for a few moments as If
the court would be In for a hard
time. y.
There was a little trouble about
the spelling of her first name
and the pronunciation of her last.
But the real trouble came when
Solicitor Basil L. Whitenter tried,
through questions to her, to pin
down the place of occurrence of
the shotgun and rifle rhubarb
which had landed eight Negroes
In. jail at the same time last Au
gust 28.
It went something like this:
"Now where did all this, shoot
ing take place?" asked the solid*
tor.
"At my house," replied the girl.
'Well, where Is your house?"
"On my brother's farm." t
"What I'm trying to find out,
Ellmanay, is where the shooting
happened."
"Oh, In my yard mostly."
"All right. Wherte is J -a*
yard?"
"Behind the house."
Suddenly then, with the com
bined efforts of the solicitor and
Judge Frank M. Armstrong, tha
presiding jurist, she got the Idea
and blurted oyt the answer.
Or almost out, It got caught .in
hter bubblegum, and a few more
questions, with & request that
she remove the refreshment, and
the prosecution was on its way.
There were two counts of as
sault with a deadly weapon with
Intent to kill, four of assault on
a female without the intention,
one of asscult with a deadly wea
pon and a peace warrant to dis
pose of from the Lake Mo.itonla
road ruckus.
Whltener, Audry Powell and O.
A. Warren, the last two repre
senting four defendants each, Met
tled down to the task ahead. -
It turned out that Elmanay did
a fine Job. After only a few min
utes during which she told who
had which gun and was shooting
in which direction, five defen- |
dants were found innoctent and
three others entered pleas of
guilty to assault with a deadly
weapon.
And that was the end of the
case, except the sentencing of
Tom Freeman, Richard Freeman,
and Icaic Crank. Elmanay*s bro
ther, to 12 months each. The sen
tences were suspended, howtever,
on condition that the trio chip
In one-third each on the court
costs and the doctor and hospital
bills of the witness.
That was the part that no one
in the courtroom laughed at Dur
ing the firing, which she said
