Judge D.E. Herring, Jr., tacked, on 20 years for conspiring to commit armed robbery in the inci dent and assault of a store clerk who was wounded during the incident.

Young said of the merger discussions. “I’ve been in this 54 years as a preacher' and 51 as a pastor. They have been talking about it for years. I’m not too sure either side is ready to do it, but they are talking about it. Of course It would make the church stronger. “It’s not easy to give up what you have—your heritage—so that you can become one, so you have to blend that in,” said Rev. Young. The AME Zion Churches in Wake County include Rush, Grace, Holland Chapel, Douglas Chapel and Bethel.
