Nelsons Trial Next Week Prompts Wilson Jail Context
A Tarboro visitor testified that W C Nelson from Edgecombe County would begin trial in Wilson at Meany day next week. Nelson, accused of flooding Tarboro with whisky, shot two policemen and wounded a mayor in March, has been jailed in Wilson awaiting trial. A dark joke between Nelson and a jailed black man reflects racial tensions surrounding the case. Meanwhile Wayne County fair promoters plan large attendance October 9 to 12 with premiums for crops and canned goods and a notable horse race feature. Pikeville hosts the first community fair October 5 with activities for Great Swamp, Pikeville and Stony Creek residents.
