Dunn Judge
(ConUnued From Pare One)
had received the endorsement of
the Harnett County Bar Associa
tion and from other bar associa
tions in the State, and from many
other citizens.
FORMER COURT CLERK
Before his appointment as judge,
Godwin served as Superior Court
Clerk in Harnett and was very
popular with the citizenship.
Action of the governor came as
no surprise, however, since Judge
Godwin openly aligned himself a
aginst Umstead in last year’s gu
bernatorial campaign.
Judge Godwin was originally ap
pointed by Governor Kerr Scott
as the county’s payoff for giving
Scott the second largest majority
of any county in the State.
LOYAL TO SCOTT
Judge Godwin has explained his
opposition to Governor Umstead
as mere loyalty to Scott, who de
mands! that his judges and all
his other appointees get out and
beat the bushes for Hubert Olive.
Judge Godwin took the position
that he should be loyal to Scott
and thus accepted his orders to
campaign for Olive. Judge Godwin
originally was for Mr. Umstead.y-,
Despite Judge- Godwin’s position
in the campaign, many strong Um
stead supporters and friends of the
governor appealed to him to over
look politics and reappoint the po
nular Harnett Judge.
SPLENDID RECORD
Judge Godwin has made an ex
cellent record on the bench. Fig
ures were released just a few days
ago showing that only one other
special judge in the State held
more weeks of court last year than
he did.
During his four years on the
bench. Judge Godwin established
a reputation as a conscientious,
sard-working judge who upheld the
highest traditions of the office.
He is expected to return to Dunn
o resume the practice of law.

reprisal, his identity will be kept

Meanwhile another investigation
of the cause of the fire Is under
way by the National Board of Fire

work on the case.
Fire Chief Ralph Hanna said on
the morning of the fire that he
suspected that the blaze was de
liberately set. On the floor of the
church the flames had followed
paths along the flooring and some
places were not burned. This
streaked effect, he said, showed that
some Inflammable might have
been poured along the floor.

can of kerosene was found in the
passageway between the church
sanctuary and the newly-erected
lunchroom of the church. The
