The first episode presents a
road in Sherwood Forest. Along
this road came people, rtoh and
poor. In the legendary fashion
bold Robin Hood robs the rich
to give to the poor, disguises
himself as a monk, and contin-|
ues his work of robbing, and sets
the robbed folk to pray for for-j
glveness of their sin of having I
been caught with such amounts
of worldly possessions on their
persons. The ends with
the usual Robin Hood hilarity.
Episode two shAws the meeting
of Robin Hood with Little John,
Friar Tuck, and Muck ffld their
pledging allegiance . to Robin
Hood and hla band. ' 'The scene Is
brought to a climax by the Min
strel Singer's old English ballad
and the re-appearance and rob
bing of rich folk.
The final episode brings out
the romance of the story. Maid
Marian has stolen her way Into,
the forest In the disguise of a
knight. Robin Hood, all unbe
k no wing, fights her'and wound*
her. On discovering his mistake,
he Is overcome by grief; but, for
the sake of the tale. Maid Mari
an is not badly wounded, and
wedding attendants appear, Friar
Tuck comes rolling up with his
book under his arm and a wed
ding Immediately takes place. i

following letter from W. L. Dow
ell, Executive Secretary of the
North Carolina Merchants Associ
ation to Hon. W. L. Lumpkia,
Franklin's representative in -the
1933 Legislature in regard to Mr.
Lumpkins vote'on the sales tax:
"I acknowledge receipt ol
your favor of April 30 In which
you ask me ta provide you wltt
your complete record vote on tb4
sales tax question at the 1933
session of the General Assembly
"I have carefully examined the
! House Journal and I find thai
there were seven votes on th<
. geaeral sales tax question in the
House of Representatives at the
last Legislature and the record
shows that you voted agaiasl
this measnre on all seven occs
sions.
"As the duly authorized Rep
resentative of The North Caro
lina Merchants Association at the
1933 session of the Qenersi As
sembly, I knew your record on
I this question, but wsnted to be
sifre that I was correct, hence, ]
looked up the record.
"The merchants of North Car
olina very greatly appreciated
your vote on this question and
your strong opposition to th<
sales tax at the last session ol
the General Assembly, for the
sales tax Is an unwise and un
sound species of taxation and U
; this tax policy Is continued, it
;will undoubtedly Impoverish
[North Carolina."
