Caryl Chessman’s alleged
crimes for which he was con
victed and his guilt or inno
cence. is beside the point here.
Capital punishment is a hang
over from the Dark Ages; for no
crime justifies the cold-blooded
and impersonal taking of a
man’s life by law which we
justify and dignify bv meaning
less ambiguities. Cail it ‘‘execu
tion” if you will, but you still
KILL a man.
If Caryl Chessman dies in the
gas chamber at San Quentin,
some part of my faith in my
fellowmen, in mercy and in jus
tice will die with him.

Tho Pars Corporation, manufacturers of farm machinery at
Greenfield, has employed George M. Hunsucker as their new plant
manager. Dart Corporation feels the company is fortunate in se
curing the services of a man as well qualified as Mr. Hunsucker.
He. or Pete” as his friends call him, comes to Edenton from
Greensboro, where he was employed as shop foreman at the Truitt
Manufacturing Company, one of the largest steel fabricating con
cerns in North Carolina. Mr. Hunsucker is a veteran of World
War 11, having served with the Air Force for three years. 18
months of the time in the Pacific Theatre. He is married to the
ormer Miss Dorothy Lee of Summerfield, N. C. The Hunsuckers
lave three children, Linda, age 13. a seventh grade pupil; George,
age 10, a iourfh grade pupil, and Donald, age 3. They are mak
ing their home at 404 North Broad Street.
This is in contrast to earthly

are crowns 'of unrighteousness

i They are also spoken of as
' crowns of life. The crown
awarded to the winner of the
Olympic games in ancient

ers — it soon withered and died.
. So do all earthly crowns—they
last but fbr a time. And even
if the crown would last, the
wearer doesn't. Each proud
king must someday lay his
crown aside* and go the way of
