Largest civil suit ever heard settles for thirteen thousand four hundred
The high profile case from Route 10 near Thomasville ended with a $13,400 award to the plaintiff, administrator J. C. Misenheimer, against defendant J. I. Palmer who faced prior prison sentence for the crash that killed C. A. Misenheimer. The civil suit reportedly valued at $50,800 faced no opposition as Palmer did not appear, and officials could not confirm if this remains the largest verdict in local court history. In a separate event, a youth-focused lecture series opened at High Point College with Rev. R. I. Farmer urging youth to find God-centered work, citing historical examples and urging patience and prayer in pursuing life-work.
