Ware housemen will co-operate by set ting the time of sale to enable the farmer to be present He can then arrange for his tobacco to be placed under loan if the price falls below the support level. .

Fortune in men has small diff- rence made. One flaunts in rags, one flutters in brocade: The cobbler aproned and the par son gowned, The friar hooded and the monarch ' crowned. "What differ more," you cry, "than crown and cowl?" I'll tell you, friend: a wise man and a fool. - You'll find, if once the monarch acts the monk, Or, cobbler like, the parson will be drunk. Worth makes the man and want of it the fellow; The rest is all but leather and prunella." ' Alexander Pope. Case Of The Grand Jury A couple of weeks ago I said I gloried in the spunk of Goy. Cher ry in stepping in and taking some action regardingithRicJ Square Rape Case In" which a negro was taken from jail by a group of white men in an alleged lynching at tempt. The story brought forth right much comment in the county. Some lawyers and judges 'commented on it The majority of opinion was that the governor overstepped his bounds. Retired attorney H. D. Williams of Kenansville took time to look up the law and constitution and it appears that under our ac cepted practice of government the legislative, executive, nor judicial Departments are supposed to en croach on each other. If we still accept this procedure for our prac tice then the Governor was in er ror. The Grand Jury acted. Wheth er right or wrong, it was supposed to be final and the Executive De partment had no right to step in. The Grand- Jury is the Judiciary Department. However, law and order cannot put up with jail breaking, and that's what it was when the negro was taken from the jail at the point of a gun. A few days ago one of our emi nent Judges, H. Hoyle Sink of Greensboro attacked the Grand Jury System and said he was go ing to fight for its revision in the next term of legislature. Maybe it needs streamlining in the light of the swiftness of today. I am not advocateing either way, pust think ing out loud.
