No Question Then or Now
(AN KDITORLAL)
{'he heavy N». i'ru vote for Dr. Frank P. Graham
I left no question in the minds of North Carolinians as i
j to whom they wanted to repre; eiit them in the Con- I
gress of the United States . . . And there is no question
as to their preference now.
The winner may acquit himself well in Wash
s iiigton on questions pertaining to North Carolina's j
1,000,000 Negroes, nonetheless, the campaign pre
j seated to all the people by Dr. Graham was the type
j in keeping with statesmanship, character and the in
tegrity so much needed to fulfill the democratic prin
ciples for all the people.
Possibly the Graham defeat is a blessing in dis- ;
guise. There are many capacities of far more impor
tance at this time for a man of Dr. Graham's abilities,
although the presence of his genius would strengthen j
the halls of Congress. But North Caroiua loss its
chance lor great icpresentation.

BELIEVE CAB
KILLER IS IN
VICINITY
GREENVILLE 'Special) Be*
j lie t was expressed here this week
that the Taxicab Killer who slew
'one man and shot another iri
I Greensboro last week during the
i course of a robbery is on the loose
lin the eastern section of Use state.
| The belief was given ground
; when it was reported Monday that
la gun-totin’ man had relieved a
| local taxi cub driver of from be
|tween S2O and $25 after luring the
j cabbie into the country.
Victim of the local robbery was
J Janies Briley who reported he
! picked up a passenger about It a m.
j Sunday and was told to drive
i across Tar River into the lowlands.
When the cab arrived at. the
appointed place, the driver report
ed. the passenger drew a pistol
and took all tilt money the driver
had in sight. The man then forced
the driver to carry him into town
where, after wiping the doorknobs
and other parts of the cab with
a towel, the robber fled into the
darkness.
Descriptions given of the rob
ber tally with those given by
Greensboro tax! driver Otis
i Hawkins, driver of the car in
which another passenger wan
| shot and killed last week.
Hawkins had also been lured
j into the rural districts when he
! was robber. A passenger in Haw*
j kins’ cab, Alfred Brewer, was shot
idown in eoldblood by the robber
Taxi cab drivers all over the state
have been alerted to be on the
look, out far passengers seeking to
’make trips into rural areas 'with*
out legitimate reason.?.
