Apparently refusing to believe that there is now a state law to compel owners of livestock to dip their cattle, two Pasquotank farmers were before the County Court yesterday for failure to dip. O.A. McPherson of Providence township was fined $25. His lawyer, E.F. Aydlett noted an appeal, carrying his client on to a higher court, tho Aydlett knows the law.
Drew Bright of Sound Neck, convicted at the same time, was let off with payment of the costs and his promise to respect the law.
