Negro Stands On His Rights; 'ADDRESSES' THE JURY I ■ * | in Court at Halifax Wednesday • Norfleet Smith, Scotland Neck Negro, was being tried in Halifax Superior Court on Wednesday aft ernoon, along with ten other darkies, charged with receiving several hundred dollars worth of peanut bags which had been stolen from Shields & Co. After all the evidence had been concluded the presiding Judge inquired of Smith and the other defendants if they desired to speak to the jury. Nor fleet Smith was the only defend ant who signified a desire to take advantage of his constitutional right. The courtroom suddenly became as silent as the “Night Before Christmas” and everyone awaited his argument. Much confused he took his stand before the jury. The 54-year-old darky politely bowed his head and said in a calm and friendly manner “Good Evening”, and resumed his seat. There was an uproar from the courtroom when the audience real ized what was Norfleet’s concep tion of "addressing the jury”.

SOFT 'N EASY WITH SOFTBALL AND THINGS As Told By Bill Hodges The Romancos may well be on their way to another state cham pionship . . They held their op ponents scoreless in the first two games of the sectional tournament . . They topped Goldsboro in the first round . . 6-0 . . In the semi finals they edged out Rocky Mount by the score of 2-0 . . That Goldsboro fracas was another no hit triumph for Russ DeBerry . . The locals ran into a little trou ble, however, in the final contest with Pilot of Raleigh . . When the game was halted at the end of the third inning the score was knotted at one-all, Pilot having scored their run by virtue of a round-tripper off Russ DeBerry by Art Faircloth, State College back field star . . The state playoffs will be moved back a week because of the con tinuous postponements that have delayed the Eastern playoffs. The winner of the Eastern tourney is to meet Greensboro, the western winner, next week on the Eastern team’s home grounds. Greensboro has a< fast team, according to re ports. The first game of the City play ground finals of the Boys’ softball league was finally played Tuesday night with the Central team edg ing out the favored Patterson club by the score of 3 to 2 . . The win ner must win the best two out of three games. In just a few weeks we’ll be seeing the boys booting the oil pigskin around ’cause football sea son is just around the corner . . Football practice for the local Yellow Jackets is scheduled to start about the first of Septem ber . . Many of last year’s stars will be absent from the scene this fall . . Brown, Harris, Neal, Greene and many others have been erased from the roster of the squad by ol’ man graduation . . Expected to return this year, how ever, will be . . in the backfield . . Sanford Brown . . carrying on in the footsteps of big brother Coyt . . Oliver Bray . . good blocker . . hard tackier . . and . . up in the line . . Clements and Leatherwood on the ends . . Polk, Ellis and the Lynch boys . . all stellar men of the forward wall . . and Harry Weathers . . excel lent pivot man. Because of those two offside fumbles . . Hitler and Hirohito . . the Jacket schedule will not be quite as full as in normal times .. The games will be confined to teams closer to the local bailiwick . . The Jax are itchin’ to erase the memories of that humiliating record they acquired last year . . In the first contest of the season they were held to a tie by a much weaker Littleton High squad . . The only time the Jax really hit their stride was when they down ed a favored Henderson eleven . . Paced by an eighty yard run by “Special Delivery” Brown they toppled the air-minded Bulldogs by the score of 13-0 . . As for conference games the locals didn’t click at all . . They failed to win a single conference battle and managed to finish in the loop cel lar . . There is some question as to whether or not there will be a junior squad this fall.
