daily. This will be a great
convenience to those people and
we trust several routes may be
established in Harnett.
—There is a question agita
ting the minds of the citizens of
Dunn, —Who is police while
Chief Duncan is escorting pris
oners for other counties to jail?
The citizens pay tax for protec
tion and if we need no police it
would be well to cut this ex
pense off. If we understand it, '
a police has no right to leave
his post of duty to carry prison
ers to an adjoining county.
Are we right?
