Maguire several weeks ago. Some have even 1 gone so far to Bay that It wasn't; known which was the more frighten-' ed, Mr. Maguire or the hyena. • • » BEEN EXPECTING IT The following story caught our eye in the Sentinel the other night and although we know you won't be interested in it, we're printing) it on account of it helps fill up space so nicely. "Durham—AP—Judge James R. Patton, Jr., county recorder, and Hugh Scarlet, former county prose cutor, battled to a one-round draw 1 just as the judge prepared to open court here yesterday. "In a dispute arising out of the recorder's recent absences from the bench, the lie was passed, court at taches said. Scarlet clawed at Pat ton, and the judge loosed a hay maker which missed the attorney but landed on an electric fan. "About that time Police Captain Marcom reached the struggling pair and separated them. The judge took the bench, Scarlet took his de parture, the clerk took up calling the docket, and the incident was closed." As one who used to be court re porter for a Durham daily and who knew that there was no love lost between the judge or the former prosecutor, news of the scrap comes as no surprise. Still, we can't figure out what Judge Patton had against a poor defenseless electrc fan, or what he did with the bench when he took it. Another thing that puz zles us is why Mr. Hiley, the clerk, began calling the docket. In all our experience there we never knew the docket to go off anywhere so that it would have to be called for court. Both Mr. Scarlet and Judge Pat ton are rather large men. When Mr. Scarlet was prosecutor, he used to arise to his feet at various and j sundry intervals and make a speech: about something or other, while Judge Patton, not to be outdone, j used to also make speeches from the bench when the spirit moved j him. • Both of them were good friends of mine and naturally we are rather! interested in the scrap. Big men as j they are, we wonder what would have happened if kindly Cap'n Mar com hadn't been awakened by the noise and parted, them. Cap'n Marcom is court sargeant. During long arguments between at- j torneys he would prop himself into the witness chair and go fast asleep,! but he wasn't hard to awaken. An other policeman would merely touch off a stick of dynamite and his eyes would fly open like running up a window shade. But enough of this senseless chat- j ter about something that will inter-! est no one but myself. If judges! and lawyers want to fight, who are we to interfere? • * • ALONG MAIN STREET People are beginning to get ex- j tremely fed up on the local situa-! tion, which can be termed only as a | mess . . . Many citizens, when ap- j proached as to their standing as to ■ this particular mess, proclaim ! themselves as neutral and wish to j high heaven that it was settled. Ma-; jority of these are merchants who have something to do other than stand on the street corners and in dulge in destructive gossip . . . But then, it's not our affair. We catch enough hell as it is . . . Mr. Spradlin can be mighty silent at times. When we asked him something the other day he merely nodded and remarked on the weather . . . But that goes to show that he knows when to keep his mouth shut—a virtue that is not apparent where many others are concerned . . . Gene Hall says he is coming along famously at football. Yow-sa . . . Elkin plays her first game here on the second date of the community fair—with Mountain Park . . . Will Rogers said "As Maine goes so goes the post masters." . . . And Bob Lovelace said the other day that what the Republicans lost in Maine they would win back in North Carolina. He stated for a fact that N. C. will go G. O. P.ista in November, but lamented the state's present politi cal odor and wondered what his parly would do with it when they got it. Personally, we think he is worrying needlessly. * * * _ PICNIC NOTES . We have been wondering, since the Kiwanis picnic last Friday night, just how well the Kiwanians are fed at home. They ate everything but the picnic table. Some excitement was caused when Jones Holcomb discovered he had eaten a paper plate. Gene Spainhour made six trips, at five minute intervals, to the chick en dish, each time with the vxcua* that be wanted tome chicken for Ab Somers. It was later learned Ab got no chicken at all. One of the members was asked what he would have for dessert, and he said he believed he'd take another piece of chicken. The big surprise of the occasion came when Superintendent Schaff declined to make any school an j ntninflemeats. Bat then one can't talk so well while gnawing on a drumstick. We must give credit where credit is due, so we will say here and now that the ladies who prepared the feast did a most excellent and thorough Job. So far as we know, not one bug lost his life! D. Holcomb, as music director of the Kiwanis club, was kept busy di recting the Darnell String Band and aside from the fear that he might break into song, everything went off nicely. Tom Roth should have honorable mention for the success of the event. For days prior to the picnic he was kept busy picking different sites and was mightily relieved when the party came to a successful conclu sion without Mitchell's river over flowing or a volcano somewhere let ting loose.
