A 10-year-old boy, whose name is not divulged, was tried in the Juvenile Court in Elizabeth City Thursday on a charge of drunkenness. The child said that he found the liquor in a bottle hidden at the end of a log near the side of a road in the vicinity of Fork School. He drank of the white liquid and went to school beastly drunk.
