Raleigh. N C.- -The .'\v)rth Car;/at:
una Supreme Court reaffirms its 'in- J

which practice before it" in disbarring
Iron N.or'.L Caroline. courts Hertr.an
Woodward Winburn, Greensboiv,
licensed in 1932. because be
took a detour when he should have
fciif straight." as Associate Justice
\v J Er.gden expressed it. The
opinion came down alone while the
c urt was ?s adjournment.
Winouvnv has prev ously been d" barred
freni the ls.uLSiu.r.i courts for!
action* luihec- rum-, a l.iwvc- He :
came to thte State, got a job with ;
Federal Judge J J Hayes, who. v.ith
tin then Solicitor Gavin. signed hisi
choract- . certificate. He puss"d th ;
State examination and was granted j
license, rhen he applied to the U. S.
Supreme Court, stating in his application
that charges preferred against,
him in J-ouisiana has be or. dropped I
after investigation, and made no men- j
lion of having practiced in JLouisiaua j
it; the application. It was that evidence
that he had not repented which
caused his disbarment in tnis State. |
But the opinion is pregnant with
possibilities and may mean milch, i
coming as it did while the court was1
adjourned, coming down alone, and <
coming 011 the eve of the examina-;
tion to he given by the State liar, j
August 110-21, and of the hearing to;
be held by the State liar's Committee
in Harnett County, August 3th, |
to require two lawyers to show cause
why they should not be disbarred. It
is looked upon as a sort of Sword of
Damocles held over the Slate Bar to
make it he good.
The State liar was given authority
by statute. 1333 General Assembly,
to license, punish and disbar attorneys,
and has takne ever that function.
It has held one examination and
licensed a group, and has about nine
lawyers scheduled to show cause why,
they should not be disbarred from |
practice. One disbarred lawyer. James ;
itaynor. Benson, has appealed to the
courts from the order which disbars
hire from practice. Tt will be heard j
in Superior, then Supreme Court. |
JOHNSON IN CONTKOVRI1SV
State Treasurer Charles M. John-'
son has been drawn into the Max-;
well-BrunumU controversy over the.
proposed new constitution to the ex-1
tent that he denies the charge Mr.
Brummitt made before the Young.
Democrats in Asheville that the State j
Treasurer audits his own accounts I
and the State Auditor is not permit-1
ted to. Mr. Johnson maintains that
the State Treasurer, in case of the
school funds, is merely acting as a
bank for local school officials, because
there are so many communities
in the State which do not have
banks which can or wishes to become
a State depository, furnishing the re
tjurjL-i: uunu. i-ucai omciais draw on j
the bttltii'a. in which such accounts
are kept and at the end of the year
the checks are returned to these officers,
as n bank does at the c-nd of
each month, he said.
The State School Commission and
the Director of Local Government,
who is also treasurer, are directed
jointly to audit the school funds by
an act of the 1033 General Assembly.
This is not an audit of the Stale
Treasurer's office, bait of the local
officials, to see that the money has
been properly disbursed. The State I
Treasurers' office is audited separ-,
aiely and completely, Mr Johnson |

the highest peak in Eastern America,
is advocated by R. Bruce Etherfdge,

of Gtircmor Ehringhaus, has
adopted a policy of removing tolls
on all bridges, causeways, ferries and
roads 011 the State and count}' road
systems, and has already purchased
bridges at Wrightsville Beach and Atlantic
Beach, at a cost of ? 115,000, |
and offered $150,000 for the Wright I
