When asked how he liked the job of being mayor, Ben Witherington answered, “I think the job is O.K. The mayor hadn’t arrived when Ii got to his office so I went down and looked, over the jail. When I re-^ turned to the mayor’s office, Mayor Hill had arrived, and it was time for court. The mayor told me what' to do and court began with two cases. Henry Ford, a Goldsboro negro, was fined fifty dollars and costs for drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

We worked on taxes most of the evening. I never knew there Avas so much money in the Avorld as there was on those tax books.
