The Moore County School Board recognized the achievements of outstanding students and faculty members Monday night during its meeting in Carthage.

After days of watching their client get pummeled by the prosecution, John Edwards's team finally began their case--and were immediately smacked down by the judge.

Moore County Sheriff's investigators have arrested and charged three people in connection with a break-in and larceny that occurred in Robbins.

Johnny Reid Edwards -- he changed his name to John only when he became a lawyer and did not wish to diminish the dignity of that profession -- was born on June 10, 1953, in Seneca, S.C. When he was in junior high school, the family moved to Robbins, N.C., a town that had changed its name from Hemp in 1943.

John Edwards would often speak movingly about growing up in Robbins, what he learned from the millworkers there, the people in his famous phrase with "lint in their hair and grease on their faces." But it also was good times for him.
