The suits were filed by Attorney Averette L. Doffcrmyre of Dunn, who is representing each of the plaintiffs. Mrs. Eunice P. Jackson is seeking alimony from her husband. Junious E. Jackson, whom she charges with "cruel, wicked and barbarous con- duct." Mrs. Lenora Jones Strickland is seeking alimony from her husband. Louis W. Strickland, now of Fay- etteville. whom she charges with “rioutous living and pleasure seek- ing exercusions" and with spend- ing his money “on led and lasci- vicious women, and mo-.e especial- ly. Mrs. Eva Smith” of Dunn. It is alleged in each case that the two abandoned their wives and families and left them without means of support and that they have failed to support them. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, the com- plaint sets out, were married on May 29th. 1948 at Wilmington, and have a three-year-old daughter. BARBARIOVS CONDUCT" Mrs. Jackson charges that they lived happily together until De- cember, 1951. at which time Jackson became tired of his wife and began to assault her and to render her life intolerable and burdensome. She claims that she has been forced to endure “cruel, wicked and barbarious conduct" on the part of her husband and that on April 5 she was forced to take her child and flee from her home to the home of her father for protection from him. She sets forth that her husband earns in excess of S6O per week and that his only expense is for his own support and that "the rest of his money is thrown away on riotous living and pleasure-seeking exer- cusions.’’ IMMORALITY CHARGED In the other case, the complaint sets forth that Mr. and Mrs. Strickland were married on June 30, 1921 and have a 17-year-old son. that they lived happily to- Cuthrell (Continued From Page One) spirit that has been responsive to the opportunities presented me for service.” “No man has had finer friends. They have been so good to me. . .. I can count on one hand all the people who showed the slightest tendency to be unkind. . .. That’s why I love people so well.” NEVER CHARGED gether until June, 19*9 except for a period of one week approximate- ly 11 years ago when the husband allegedly abandoned his wife “and took up with lewd and lascivious women.” The defendant later re- turned to his wife, made amends and was accepted back in the home and forgiven for his actions. It is set forth that in June, 1949 the defendant began to keep com- pany with lewd women, especially with one Mrs. Eva Smith, and that on April 26. Mrs. Strickland caught her husband in the company of Mrs. Smith. The complaint alleges that Mrs. Smith admitted to the wife that she and her husband had been “courting and going together” for about three years. Mrs. Strickland alleged that the defendant has continuously since that time "forced these cruel, in- human, wicked, unlawful, vulgar, wanton and barbaric indignities” so as to render her condition in life intolerable and burdensome. She sets forth that she has beg- ged her husband to stop carrying on with led women and return home, but In vain, and tha on Au- gust 22, 1951 he abandoned her and their child. Mrs. Strickland contends that her husband’s conduct with Mrs. Smith has wrecked and ruined their home, that her station in life is gone for- ever, that she has suffered untold embarrassment and heartbreak and has practically destroyed her de- sire to live. It is set forth that Mr. Strick- land earns in excess of $75 per week and also owns rental prop- erty. Both Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Strickland ask the court to award them as much of their husbands' estate and earnings as may be proper and that they also pay the court costs and attorney fees. Both cases have been set for a hearing on Monday. May 5. the Jackson case at 1 a. m. and the Strickland case at 12 p. m. Mrs. Young (Continued from pag< one) afternoon. She was getting ready to entertain a bride-elect, but man- aged to sandwich in the trip to Lillington to file. “After all." her supporters argued as she was trying to decide, “some of the best known judges in the nation are women. And Judge Susie Sharp has made a mighty fine record on the Superior Court bench.” ’Tve never put a charge on my I services, have never set a salary. !. . . I always tell young preachers. Don't ever think you can win in | this profession if you start out for i money. .. . You do your job and ! your brethren will treat you right.’ j ‘None of these 50 years have ! been spent in fighting those of | other faiths and other communions. ... I love my communion. I have ! I great convictions. But I know that j we're all striving to make a better Christianity and to make a better world under God. “It has been my privilege to serve the humblest of the humble and also those rich in world goods. | “I've never been drunk on frag- mentary knowledge, but thankful j for what little I knew." UNDERSTANDING HEART Tve tried to have an under- standing heart. I’ve tried to un- derstand the weaknesses of my fel- low man. ... We're all thoughtless and we do things we never heard of or thought of. .. . It’s not easy to understand: it’s easier to criti- cize.” "Sins of the mind are as bad a* sins of the body. ' I have sought earnestly to build the great Hereafter into the spirit of now. I want to help men to sus- tain their faith in themselves and in God. "Christian love and the right- , eousness of God are non-denomi- national and non-sectarian. To fail to have fellowship with someone | because he does not see eye-to- j eye is doing yourself and the other ¦ person a great disservice. ¦'l've changed my mind on the interpretation of some of the I Scriptures. I have changed my mind | on some matters of theology, but I have not changed my mind about j the goodness, the greatness, the majesty of God. CITES HIS FAITH "I have followed Jesus because He is the best man I know, and I have known a lot of men through study and contact. "I am thankful for these 50 years and I thank Him for the opportun- ity and responsibilities and for the light and hope that he brings to my soul this morning. . ‘‘My faith in God is my faith. You»must have your faith. God is the upholder of all in life that is worthwhile, the director of the heart, the mover of the world. ... My faith in Him is steadfast. . . . One thing has held me steady—- that is my faith in God.” Following the morning service, the congregation enjoyed a picnic dinner in the church basement. Afterwards, a special ceremony was held at which time Dr. Cuthreil was presented several gifts in hon- or,of the occasion by various groups. ! PRESENTED GIFTS -3 Lester Jones presided over the' ceremony, , Mrs. Bill Carroll, teacher of the McD. Holliday Class, presented Dr. Cuthrell a 1 weekend case from the class: Lofton T.

WAS 48 YESTERDAY She's a very frank person, plain- spoken and a person who’ll dr, what she thinks to be right. Incidentally. Mrs. Young filed just one day before her birthday! She was 48 Sunday. “Sunday was also the birthday of Mrs. Mattie Washburn. Isabelle Young and Adolph Hitler." quipped Mrs. Young, a very witty woman vho has a delightful personality. "You mean you don't mind telling jour age?" a reporter asked her. “Why that’s silly. Os course not,” replied Mrs. Young. “After all.' I have a lot to show for my age. I've got three children and two grandchildren and I’m mighty proud of them. Don’t you think that's a record to be proud of?” Right now, Mrs. Young isn’t ready to announce any formal platform. She plans to see the people and tell them what she stands for and just how she’ll run her court. SHE’S A SCRAPPER She’s a scrapper and her sup- porters are convinced that Judge H. Paul Strickland has a fight on his hands. While it’s her first campaign. Mrs. Young knows how to handle herself in any situation. “I'll tell you right now,” declared one prominent Dunn lawyer. ‘Tve been in politics a long time, but I’d sure hate to oppose her in a campaign. In fact. I just wouldn’t do it.” RESIDED HRRE SINCE 1922 Mrs. Young is a native of Macon. Georgia. She attended prep school suiter, piece of luggage, members I of the Sunday School presented him 50 silver dollars; the Young Married Couples’ Class presented him a set of books, “A study of His- tory” by Arthur Towndee. This pres- entation was made by Frank Mc- Leod. Loroman C. Dupree, Jr., chair- man Os the board of deacons, pre- sented Dr. Cuthrell from the entire church a beautiful Doctor of Divin-1 ity robe. Mr. DuPree read messages from various churches and organ!- I zatjons. During the day. Dr. Cuthrell also received many other gifts from friends. EXPRESSES THANKS | At the close of the presentations. Dr. Cuthrell again spoke to express his appreciation. He was so moved and so eloquent in expressing his appreciation that there were but few dry eyes in the entire congre- gation. *4 number of Dr. Cuthrell’s rela- tives were here for the event. In charge of the day’s events was a committee composed of Mrs. Pat Lyneh, Jr., chairman. T. Lester Jones, Tommy Harrall and Mrs. Grace Swain. < Hi*. GUNN) N, O. Nash Agency (Continued from page one) in securing the Nash dealership here," declared Mr. Watkins and Mr. Edwards today. “We’re going to offer complete sales and service and the very finest service to the public possi- ble." They extended to the public a cordial invitation to visit them in the old Nash location, which has been completely remodeled, reno- vated and modernized. Much new equipment has been added to en- able Nash owners to obtain com- plete one-stop service by a staff of expert mechanics and service men. Hugh Williford has been select- ed to serve as shop foreman of the new dealership. Mr. Williford is well known in the automobile busi- ness here. Manager Watkins, who will move to Dunn as soon as school is out in Sanford, is a native of Ala- mance County, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Watkins. He has resided in Sanford since 1939, where he has been associated with Mr. Evans in the operation of Sanford’s Nash dealership. VETERANS IN BUSINESS Mr. Watkins and Mr. Edwards have been active in the various business, civic, social and religious affairs of Sanford. Mr. Watkins said today that he is looking for- ward with much pleasure to mak- ing his home in Dunn. Mr. and Mrs. Watkins have three children, Linda Faye, Annie Rus- sell and Larry Lester. He explained that he will wait until the end of school to move his family to keep from interrupting the education of his children. The formal opening will not be held for some time, but the new firm is open and doing business. The public is invited to come in and see and inspect the beautiful new 1952 Nash models. City WIF (Continued From Page One) cleared up in order to clear the way for the health center here. Deeds, legal opinions, water and sewer lines and electrical connec- tions for this building will be dis- cussed at the meeting. It has been suggested that North Railway Avenue, between Broad and Edgerton Street be made one- way. This would avoid congestion where cars attempting to come in from Edgerton have no room to pass. This will be brought before the board. TO GET REPORT The board will receive a further report on the progress of an en- gineering survey on South Clin- ton Avenue regarding the drain- age of the properties of Earl McD. Westbrook, H. P. Johnson. Louis Baer and others from ehginWr Paul M. Van Camp. The board will discuss the invi- tation from the officials of Chapel Hill to a dinner and meeting on April 22. The meeting will take place at 3:00 p. m. and the dinner at 6:00 p. m. The board will be informed of the results of an interview between the City Manager and Roger Weav- er of the Highway Department with regard to the drainage problem on Highway 421. abutting the proper- ties of J. A. Hardison, E. C. Edger- ton and G. F. Bennett. The City Manager revealed today that there are other items that should be on the agenda, but that they were omitted in order to hold the meeting time down. He sug- gested that it might be advisable to hold board meetings more often than the present schedule in or- der to clear up all problems. 54 Candidates (Continued from page one' missioner in District 2 has develop- ed among the Democrats. R. L. (Bob) Pate of Erwin, the present commissioner, has declined to seek re-election in a district which in- cludes Duke, and Grove 1 and 2 townships. Coy Lucas, Fred W. Brown and D. E. Lasater, Jr. seek the party’s nod for that post. The Democratic winner will take on D. Vic Lee, Coats Republican. In district 3, incumbent com- missioner Herman S. Holloway, Fuquay Springs. Route 2, will run into opposition from Rufus L. Man- gum, Lillington, Route 1. Holloway will face voters for the first time since he was appointed at the first of the year to fill out the unexpired term of C. G. Fields of Angier. Winner of the Democratic tilt will oppose W. M. Morgan of Angier. the Republican candidate. Black River. Neill’s Creek, Hector’s Creek and Buckhorn make up this district. HOT RACE FOR REGISTER The race, probably the most sharply in the public eye appears to be that of register of deeds. Mrs. Inez Harrington, long time in- cumbent who has demonstrated her voting getting ability in several elections by usuallly at being the top place in the number of votes polled, will be opposed by Frank Lewis, young Lillington business man and World War II veteran. Lewis’s energetic campaign to “join the ranks with Frank" has captured wide interest. He was the first candidate to file for any office and has already campaigned on a coun- ty-wide basis. The winner of the Harrington- Lewis contest will face a woman as a Republican opponent. She is young, attractive Mrs. Addie Pope Sheppard of Coats. Carson Gregory, Angier. Route 2, Democratic member of the House of Representatives, will have no op- position in the May 31 primary. Thad H. Pope, Dunn, will be his Republican opponent in the gen- eral election. FOUR FILE FOR JUDGE A crowded race has developed in the contest for the Democratic nominee for the Judge of Harnett Recorder’s Court, with four men seeking the job. M. O. Lee, Lill- ington attorney and vice-recorder named to fill out the unexpired term of the late Judge Floyd Tay- lor who held the post for 22 years will ask the voters approval. Others vying for the place on the Dem- ocratic ticket are John R. Hood. Lillington attorney and first to file. William A. Taylor 27-year-old lawyer and son of the late Judge Taylor, and Bradford Stewart Lillington magistrate and former state highway patrolman. Taylor who was only released at noon Saturday from the Army in which he was serving as a First Lieutenant filed on Saturday after- noon. Stewart pata his filing 4e<r shortly before closing time. Winner in the four-way judge’s contest will draw Oscar S. Young of Angier as the Republican op- ponent. Taylor, who recently returned from two months service in Korea is the youngest son of Mrs. Floyd Taylor and the late Judge Taylor of Buie’s Creek. He was graduated from Wake Forest School of Law last June with an L. L. B degree and was called almost immediately by the Reserve for active service. He attended high school in Buifc’s Creek and attended the University of North Carolina for two. During World War II he served 39 months in the army entering service as a private. Taylor won his commission from the rank and was commis- sioned at Fontibleua, France. He is married to the former Miss Lena I Ruth Farmer, daughter of Mrs. I. Farmer of Benson and they have |; one 20-month-old daughter, Gail, j Stewart, W'ho is active in Masonic 1 circle and the affairs of the Pres- J byterian church, said he was en- ' tering the contest in response to 1 strong demands for a candidate I who I s not a lawyer. Under the law the judge of a recorder’s court does not have to be a lawj’er. Neill McKay Ross, solicitor for ! Harnett Recorder’s Court, will have no Democratic or Republican : opposition. I RACE FOR JUDGE IN DUNN A still livelier judicial contest appears likely in Dunn where in- cumbent Judge H. Paul Strickland | is seeking re-election as the Demo- ; cratic candidate and will be op- posed by Mrs. Hazel F. Young, a licensed attorney. Judge Strickland and Mrs. Young were also last-day filers. The winner will take on J. O. West, veteran Republican lead- er and Dunn attorney. J. Shephard Bryan of Dunn so- licitor for the Recorder’s Court of household.” Mr. and Mrs. Young have three children. Miss Jean Young of Dunn, Miss Virginia Young of I Washington, D. e. and Mrs. Wade l Drake of Charlotte. in Atlanta and Sullins College.in Bristol. Va.-Tenn. She left school ip 1922 to marry Mr. Young and she has resided in Dunn ever since. She studied law under the late Judge Pell in Raleigh. The reason she decided on a law career was so she could be of assistance to her husband. “Another reason," she confided. “I used to sit there and hear Bob argue law with his father and I didn't know what they were talking about. I decided I ought to find out.” BUSY PERSON In addition to her legal duties, Mrs. Young still finds time to run her household and to take ar. active part in church, civic and social affairs. She's a member of the Woman’s Club, the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution and the St. Step- hen’s Episcopal Church. (Despite the fact that she’s a working woman, Mrs. Young is without servants at home. "I just can’t seem to find anybody to work," she pointed out, ‘so I do it myself." She condeded that she’s going to be a pretty busy woman running a campaign, working in the law office and running her Riot At (Continuvd From Page One) chens. There was no shooting, in- dicating that the rioters had not reached the weapons cabinets. Frisbie pulled all guards back into tl|e admingtration building, leaving six state troopers manned with machine guns to protect the main corridor which forms the dia- meter of the four-story circle of cellblocks. The rioters were kept away from the disclipinary barracks, however, where 104 inmates held four guards as hostages and threatened to slice their throats. It was in (he dis- ciplinary barracks that the first rebellion started last night. The rampaging inmates broke in- to the mental cellblock where the criminally insane are kept under close guard. The leader of the rioters in the disclipinary barracks warned that if the guards used “any live ammun- ition we’ll toss out a dead hostage for you.” The prisoners set fire to the quartermaster building, after tear- ing ard tossing records, breaking furnitfre and windows. It was be- lieved they tried to seize prison guard uniforms stored there. Dunn will have no opposition from either party. Bryan accompanied Strickland to pay his filing fees to Mrs. Thomas McPhail, clerk to the county board of elections. In Duke, Grove and Stewart’E Creek townships, local races for township constables brought forth a rash of Democratic candidates. In Duke .four seek the job now held by Preston Porter who is also seeking re-election. The five can- didates are James E. Norris, James H. Colville, and R. H. Butler and Porter. Candidates for costable in Grove include E. L. Morgan, C. E. Moore and D. G. Darroch. Morgan is the incumbent. SIX-WAY RACE A six-way lace is in prospect for Stewart’s C.eek township where candidates tor constable are Sam Bryant, Eli Manning, Wayman Graves, Geraldine Allen, Paul Stogsdill and Alonzo Wtlliaips. Manning now has the job. Alt are Democrats and no Republicans filed against them. In Averasboro, veteran constable O. R. Pearce will have Republican opposition this fall Roland Stewart but no opponent in the May 31 primary. Other township constables. Dem- ocrats, who -will have no opposition from either party are: W. B. Cast- leberry, Barbecue: Leo McGee Buckhorn; R. C. Monday, Black River; and Wade Stewart. Neill’s Creek. Walter Lee Johnson. Lillington the county surveyor also is !ui- opposed from either party. There were two candidates for Justice of peace, Herbert Williams in Stewart’s Creek and A. H. Wilburn in Averasboro. Three men paid filing fees for the post of member of the county board of education. They were W. E. Nichols, Coats, district 2; J. R. Baggett. Jr. Lillington. district 4; and Sidney G. Thomas. Broadway Route 1, district 5; AH three are members of the present five mem- ber board. Others on the board Charles U. Skinner of Dunn and A. C. Barefoot of Angier do not come up for election this year. No Re- publicans have filed against this group. Claudia (Continued from page one) from each line and action was pleasing. Charles Johnson is deserving of special merit as the humble and dependable Fritz, the caretaker. As he shuffled across the stage, he lent a true sense of drama end pathos to his small but important part. We feel that the play would not have been complete without Ber- tha, the housekeeper, played by Marilyn Jackson and Julia Naugh- ton, played by Janet Jackson. Thcs m two young women, although comW parativdy new to the stage, are to be most sincerely, commended for lending credibility to their parts. Our gold cup of achievement is proudly presented to Earl N. Olm- ste&d for his splendid direction. Congratulations to the Dunn Little Theatre Group for a magnificent accomplishment.

Two Alimony SuitsFiled In Harnett

Two suits for alimony have been filed in HarnettSuperior Court by two Dunn women who are asking thattheir estranged husbands be forced to support their fami-lies.

The suits were filed by AttorneyAverette L. Doffcrmyre of Dunn,who is representing each of theplaintiffs.

Mrs. Eunice P. Jackson is seekingalimony from her husband. JuniousE. Jackson, whom she charges with"cruel, wicked and barbarous con-duct."

Mrs. Lenora Jones Strickland isseeking alimony from her husband.Louis W. Strickland, now of Fay-etteville. whom she charges with“rioutous living and pleasure seek-ing exercusions" and with spend-ing his money “on led and lasci-vicious women, and mo-.e especial-ly. Mrs. Eva Smith” of Dunn.

It is alleged in each case thatthe two abandoned their wivesand families and left them withoutmeans of support and that theyhave failed to support them.

Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, the com-plaint sets out, were married onMay 29th. 1948 at Wilmington, andhave a three-year-old daughter.

• BARBARIOVS CONDUCT"Mrs. Jackson charges that they

lived happily together until De-cember, 1951. at which time Jacksonbecame tired of his wife and beganto assault her and to render herlife intolerable and burdensome.

She claims that she has beenforced to endure “cruel, wicked andbarbarious conduct" on the part ofher husband and that on April 5she was forced to take her childand flee from her home to thehome of her father for protectionfrom him.

She sets forth that her husbandearns in excess of S6O per week andthat his only expense is for his ownsupport and that "the rest of hismoney is thrown away on riotousliving and pleasure-seeking exer-cusions.’’

gether until June, 19*9 except fora period of one week approximate-ly 11 years ago when the husbandallegedly abandoned his wife “andtook up with lewd and lasciviouswomen.” The defendant later re-turned to his wife, made amendsand was accepted back in the homeand forgiven for his actions.

It is set forth that in June, 1949the defendant began to keep com-pany with lewd women, especiallywith one Mrs. Eva Smith, and thaton April 26. Mrs. Strickland caughther husband in the company ofMrs. Smith.

The complaint alleges that Mrs.Smith admitted to the wife thatshe and her husband had been“courting and going together” forabout three years.

Mrs. Strickland alleged that thedefendant has continuously sincethat time "forced these cruel, in-human, wicked, unlawful, vulgar,wanton and barbaric indignities” soas to render her condition in lifeintolerable and burdensome.

She sets forth that she has beg-ged her husband to stop carryingon with led women and returnhome, but In vain, and tha on Au-gust 22, 1951 he abandoned her andtheir child.

Mrs. Strickland contends that herhusband’s conduct with Mrs. Smithhas wrecked and ruined their home,that her station in life is gone for-ever, that she has suffered untoldembarrassment and heartbreak andhas practically destroyed her de-sire to live.

It is set forth that Mr. Strick-land earns in excess of $75 perweek and also owns rental prop-erty.

Both Mrs. Jackson and Mrs.Strickland ask the court to awardthem as much of their husbands'estate and earnings as may beproper and that they also pay thecourt costs and attorney fees.

afternoon. She was getting readyto entertain a bride-elect, but man-aged to sandwich in the trip toLillington to file.

“After all." her supporters arguedas she was trying to decide, “someof the best known judges in thenation are women. And JudgeSusie Sharp has made a mightyfine record on the Superior Courtbench.”’Tve never put a charge on my

I services, have never set a salary.!. . . I always tell young preachers.Don't ever think you can win in

| this profession if you start out fori money. . . . You do your job and! your brethren will treat you right.’

j ‘None of these 50 years have! been spent in fighting those of

| other faiths and other communions.... I love my communion. I have !

I great convictions. But I know thatj we're all striving to make a betterChristianity and to make a betterworld under God.

“It has been my privilege toserve the humblest of the humbleand also those rich in world goods.

| “I've never been drunk on frag-mentary knowledge, but thankful jfor what little I knew."

UNDERSTANDING HEARTTve tried to have an under-

standing heart. I’ve tried to un-derstand the weaknesses of my fel-low man. . . . We're all thoughtlessand we do things we never heard ofor thought of. . . . It’s not easy tounderstand: it’s easier to criti-cize.”

"Sins of the mind are as bad a*

sins of the body.' I have sought earnestly to build

the great Hereafter into the spiritof now. I want to help men to sus-tain their faith in themselves andin God.

"Christian love and the right- ,eousness of God are non-denomi-national and non-sectarian. To failto have fellowship with someone |because he does not see eye-to- jeye is doing yourself and the other ¦person a great disservice.

¦'l've changed my mind on theinterpretation of some of the IScriptures. I have changed my mind |on some matters of theology, but Ihave not changed my mind about jthe goodness, the greatness, themajesty of God.

CITES HIS FAITH"I have followed Jesus because

He is the best man I know, andI have known a lot of men throughstudy and contact.

"I am thankful for these 50 yearsand I thank Him for the opportun-ity and responsibilities and for thelight and hope that he brings tomy soul this morning. .

‘‘My faith in God is my faith.You»must have your faith. God isthe upholder of all in life that isworthwhile, the director of theheart, the mover of the world. . . .My faith in Him is steadfast. . . .

One thing has held me steady—-that is my faith in God.”

Following the morning service,the congregation enjoyed a picnicdinner in the church basement.

Our gold cup of achievement isproudly presented to Earl N. Olm-ste&d for his splendid direction.Congratulations to the Dunn LittleTheatre Group for a magnificentaccomplishment.
