New Fund-Raising Law Targets Unlicensed Solicitations
Officials warn against unlicensed fund drives and out of state solicitors, outlining exemptions for churches colleges civic and service groups and rural volunteer units. The measure requires licenses and reporting to curb fraud and ensure proper distribution, with lists filed by counties and Better Business Bureaus for public scrutiny. Local leaders argue it will reduce theft and boost legitimate charity funding while still allowing true charitable causes to prosper.

Thomasville Firm Sued Over Stock and Management Dispute
Evelyn K. Hudson of Thomasville filed suit in the Superior Court against National Furniture and Fabrics: Sales Inc and individuals W. R. Barrier and Nell V. Fouts. She contends she contributed 6506 dollars while Barrier put 20000 dollars toward the opening of National. The complaint alleges Barrier refused to issue stock to her and dismissed her from a sales and purchasing role on July 1, and that a bank was shown a certified resolution transferring company funds to Barrier, making him the sole person authorized to write checks. It also claims Fouts signed the resolution as secretary, which Hudson says is false, and seeks to stop Fouts from representing herself as a fleet member in the company.
