VETERAN COMPLAINERS
Opponents to multipurpose devel-
opment have always found some rea-
SON to complain about some phase of
any hearing that has been held, and
though they made no publicity splurge
this time, witnesses found reason
to complain about the timing-too
short notice-busy season of the year
when business men had to stay on
the job to get all possible business
dollars limited time to present testi-
mony. Others of their witnesses COM
planned that there had been too many
hearings on this issue.
Carl Dragstedt. testifying in the
manner of an angry man, said we
didn't need the multipurpose develop
ment now and if and when we need
it we can get it at future date. His |
main concern was the cost in taxes. |
Gruening asked this witness if he
knew these developments were self
iquidating. Dragstedt (crowding COY |

Tabor City Leaf Mart Closes Thursday
With Highest Average In It's History

Tabor City's tobacco market
will close after tomorrow's sales
with its highest price average
in histoy.
The market. through Tuesday
night. had an all-time high aver.
age Of $62.99 on the sale of T.
92l .424 pounds. The poundase
was expected TO hit the eight
million mark by tomorrow.
II has been a successful sea-
son for farmers dispelling most
fears that exited prior to the
opening of the market. Farmers
voiced a dubious note regarding
the weight of the tobacco crop
this year. This pessimistic out
look was based on the siege Of
dry weather that ended with q
steady rainfall for several weeks.
However, the price zoomed from
opening day and an air of pros
perity was more evident than In
any immediate past years.
The average price paid here
last year was S6l.12.
Farmers we're happy with
prices paid this year and we
would like to take this oppor-
tunity to express our apprecia-
tion to all those farmers who sold
their tobacco in Tabor City" said
Tally Eddings. executive director
of the Merchants Association and
sales supervisor for the tobacco
market.
The local market total sales
would have been ever greater
had there not been a rather ex-
cessive number of farmers who
sold early in the season of the
Georgia tobacco market Some
expressed the feeling that more
tobacco was taken to Georgia
markets this year than in pre-
vious years.

Columbus Ups Face Indictments
AS Probe Reveals Violations

several COLUMBUS county JUS
tees Of the peace are expected
to be indicted at the October
term Of Superior Court for vari-
GUS violations. Names of those
to be indicted were not revealed.
District Solicitor John ].
Burney Of Wilmington led an
investigation that uncovered
widespread violations in Column
bus County.
Burney told justice of the
peace yesterday at a mass meet
ing that the indictments would
be made. The meeting was call
ed by Burney to acquaint jus
tices of the peace with state
laws applying to their office.
The investigation was made al
the request of local citizens who
complained that they had been
what they termed "fleeced" by
some magistrates.
Irregularities came to light last
week when a case tried in Sup
erior Court evidenced violations
by justices of the peace Jack
Moore OF Whiteville and Bill
Andrews of Chadbourn.
The case involved a bad check
charge against Calvin Murray of
Chadbourn and involved war
rants issued by both UPS fol
the same charge. The case was
mol pressed in higher court
Burney cited 16 specific vio-
lations which he uncovered in
the investigation. The violations
are as follows
Cases Of magistrates collecting
open accounts by issuing GRIM
inal warrants alleging fraud
This system was uncovered in
many cases involving bad
checks.
Ups are mol pressing cases
which they have no authority to
act on" Burney declared. He
said cases cannot be mol pressed
IN magistrate courts.
Also, Ups have served as pro-
feSSional bondsmen and collect
ed fees for bonds which he set
himself. The law excludes JP'.
from serving as bondsmen.
Fees collected by magistrates
for county law enforcement Of
ficerS have exceeded the legal
limit. He said cases of excess
mileage reports have been filed.
The solicitor explained that
the arrest fee is two dollars and
mileage can be charged only
when an officer transports a
prisoner to Jail when the dist
ance is more than five miles and
exceed two dollars
ConStableS also came in for
their share OF responsibility
Burney noted that UPS have in
the past had their own warrants
printed. He advised these UPS
to go home and burn them
thereby disposing of tempta-
ton" Constables who serve
warrants other than the ones
termed legal are guilty of aid
ing and abetting. New warrants
are numbered and will be issu-
ed to the magistrates in books
Iof Is.
Judge Raymond Mallard urg-
ed the magistrates to pay more
attention to their office and &c
contact the solicitor when they
need advice.
