Well, he's passed on—and Judge Meekin.s la Just a shadow of his for mer mental and physical being. You ■’know, ho was a big man In both fields. Hla weight was over 200—and it is now do.wn to about 135, reports say . . . Some groat men go suddenly and others Just seem to waste away. • • « FATE—Pate Is funny . . . Dr, C. «. Brimley, Stale entomologist, died a few dny.s ago at the age of 83. He was vigorous mentally, worked the clay before he died and was preparing for another day’s work when his heart just stopped heating—Hte never finished high school—and yet he became Internationally known for his knowledge of insects and rep tiles ... A native of England, he came lo this country—he and his brother, H. H. Brimley. who died In April—on December 31, 1880 and made a name for himself, Yet at no time In his life did he ever, make more than $180 per month. When Dr. C. S, and H. H. loft England that cold December day, they said farewell to their only brother. They didn’t think they would ever meet again. But they did—57 years later In 1937 the brother came to Ral eigh and the throe old men wore boys again—and then an embrace, a tear, a final goodbye. 4 .* * WEBB—Lindsay Warren is Comp trollor General—Kenneth Royal Is Undersecretary of War—0. Max Gardner Js Assistant Secretary of the Treasury—R. L. Doughton Is chair man of the Ways and Means Com- mlttoo—and now James E. Webo of Oxford is (Director of the Budget Bureau—Be careful how you curse Washington, Podner. you’re talking about our homo folks! Ain’t gonna stand for it! Oh, yes. you’ve been knowingly saying that Webb got that position because of his being in the famous Gardnor-Webb family, Nothing to it —no kin—if so. exceedingly distant. Ho came up the hard way—in Wash ington-worked in the daytime— studied law at night—became an of- flcin! for Sperry Corporation, work ing with Morgan, another Tar Heel —was a Gardner law partner, which did him no harm,' of course. But they say that Webb is entirely self- sufficient, This appointment, by the way, caught all political clairvoy ants unawares—at least those In N. C. 4 * * RADIO—Some of the weekly newspaper publishers (as well as those In the dally field) profess wor ry over this sudden swing to radio (at the rate of about one new sta tion every two weeks in this State,) Should they get in' and take a chance on losing' the radio station and the paper? Should they stay out and fight the comp’etl'tlon? What will happen to the big Inivestment' when PM (frequency modulation) comes in with Us perfect reception, no static, true-as-llfe tones? There are now 40 radio stations In North Carolina , , ,A1! making good money. Ashovlllo has^ three, Charlotte three, Durham three. Charlotte Is expected to have at least five stations by the fall of 1947—and two newspapers. Can they all survive? What to do? Well, figure on a minimum investment of $30,000 be fore the station is ready to go on the air. ft • • NOTES—Of course Harry P. Byrd will be renominated in Virginia— but 1(0 had lo spend a lot of mone^ —which came easy, for he has the largest apple orchard east of the .Mississippi and the best apple crop on record—Remember the recent Elizabeth City case, where the father of his suicide daughter slipt the alleged father of his dead daughter’s unborn baby—Erick- house, the father, shot Raymond. Mann, the alleged father of the baby —Man has recovered, left the coun try, tis said, and Brickhouse will come up for ■trh'il in November, Al though the .people of Elizabeth City seem to be on his side (unwritten law and all that,) his attorney, P. G. Sawyer, would have It easier If Brickhouse hadn’t gone around tell ing folks ho was going to kill Ray mond Mann, That’s .the story any how ... Did you know there are 92' columns'-now running in N. C. papers (count em,) most of them with the local touch? Week In and week out, they remain the most popular feat ure of the paper . . . Doesn’t it seem that the trend is away from cold, straight news stories to more flavor some (sometimes,) folksy, person alized columns—with a dash—and a dot—and a lot of dlssa and datta? * * * HEARD AND SEEN—Gov. Gregg Cherry Is carrying around a bandar aged hand—injured two of his fin gers in the door of his car last week.
