Hoey appointed two men to the State Supreme court. One, a native of Halifax county, «E3 SO years of age. He went on to become chief justice. His name: K. V. Barnhill. The man succeeding him as chief Instice this week was the other ap pointee of July 1, 1937. He is J. Wallace Winborne, a native of Chowan county, who began the practice of law in Marion in 1907. Winlbarne is three years older than Barnhill, who served only two^and n-haH years as chief justice.

Phone 3-2021 AGE . . . The average age of members of the State Supreme court — with the appointment of 67-year-old W. B. Rodman and the resignation of 69 year old M. V. Barnhill — is now 63. So, you young attorneys who look upon membership on the court as being little short of glory this side of paradise, re member that the appointment— like many another good thing— seldom comes on the sunny side of 50. It is interesting to note that Associate Justice E. B. Denny and Associate Justice R. Hunt Parker were born in 1892, while Justices Jeff D. Johnson and W. H. Bobbitt first saw the light of day in 1900, and Justices Carlisle Higgins and W. B. Rodman were born in 1889. Chief Justice Win borne was born in 1884. New Attorney General George Patton — who may be on his way to the State Supreme Court—is 58 years of age. Harry McMullan I was only 53 when he became At torney General in 1938 . . . five years younger than Patton and 13 years younger than was Rod man when appointed. HELP NEEDED ... You won’t get them to say anything about it 'for publication, but the State Su preme court justices and officials of the Attorney General’s staff are in desperate need of assistance. The Attorney General’s depart ment, according to reports we get, could do with a general reorgani zation — with definite duties as signed to the assistants — and more assistants. Our justices are overworked, be ing forced to spend too much time in petty research. Information we get is that they would like to have six to eight young attorneys as re search assistants. In 1957, it will be 20 years since we turned the legis lative microscope on the Justice Department. GOOD STROKE . . . Between Bill Horner and Bob Mason, the Sanford Herald is coming up these days with some mighty good reading. This one is about stirring mash. Anybody who has been to Wake Forest College knows about the Harricane section of Wake County — a pretty rough area about three miles west of Wake Forest toward Durham. Be that as it may, many a story has been told about the Harricane and its people, none of whom— to our knowledge — went to Wcke. But all good Baptists, nev ertheless. They had this fellow up before I the congregation for making li quor. They were going to church him — or kick him out. But he said he didn’t make no liquor, ditn’t sell none, ditn’t drink none. “But”, he sang out, “there’s some holier-than-thou people that does meaner, and makes their living less honest, and raises their children worser than a man who feeds and clothes his family from the sweat of his brow-a-stir ring of the mash.” And, as he became excited with his talk, he placed one fist over the other and described a wide circle — as if pulling a dog wood pole through a vat. At this point, the chairman of the board of deacons, sitting up front, leaned over to the clerk and whispered in an admiring voice that could be heard at the rear of the room, “He’s got a right good stroke, hain’t he?” NOTES ...

METROGAS “Best of the best.” HENDERSONVILLE I What happens when a NEW PAYROLL comes to town? IVIORE SPENDING MONEY isn't the only thing a new factory payroll brings to town. A survey ' made by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce shows that 100 new factory workers* «lso meant this to a community: 296 more people 112 more households 51 more school children 107 more passenger car registrations 174 more workers employed 4 more retail establishments $590,000 more personal income per year $270,000 more bank deposits $360,000 more retail sales per year Here’s convincing proof, we think, that whatever helps the Southland to develop industrially is a real contribution to the long-range growth and prosperity of the South. The Southern helps in many ways. Our own Industrial Development Department aggressively seeks new industries for every available plant site. Our nation-wide advertising program continually invites business enterprises of all kinds to "Look Ahead — Look South!" for greater opportunity. Our modern rail service helps provide the economical and efficient mass trans portation so indispensable to industrial progress and growth. New payrolls—and all they mean to a community — are “coming to town” all over the South. Last year 23,000 new jobs were created by industrial expansion along the Southern Railway System alone. Many in the South helped bring this about. All in the South benefit! SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM WASHINGTON, D.
