CJ DAILY DISPATCH, FRIDAY, OCTOBER If. 1987 HEAD RECKONINGS -yfifc- By BRUCE HAMILTON VcHtfS/ COPYRIGHT BY BRUCE HAMILTON; RELEASED BY CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION CHAPTER 27 i IT STARTED one morning early in November. ■ It had been a particularly try ing morning. There were certain patients whom Tim had come to regard as his particular betes noires, and on this day he had been afflicted with no fewer than three of them. There was Miss Simmons, a shrinking creature whose mind, never too strong, and always a ready victim to all forms of popu lar suggestion, was so wrought upon by the mere prospect of a visit to the dentist that by the time she was helped, half collap sing, into the chair, it was next to impossible to do anything with her. In particular she had a terror of the drill, and her recoilings, groans, and agonized expressions when Tim was using it, even if he was nowhere near a nerve, held up his work and were a constant source of irritation. He would like to have shaken her, but his tradi tion of patience was strong. . . . “Now try and stick it a little longer this time, Miss Simmons. It won’t really hurt, and it’ll be over all the sooner. .. .” The job, which should have taken less than 20 minutes, lasted a full three quarters of an hour, j She was followed by an equally liberal spendthrift of time. Grass water, the stockbroker. Grass water had no fear of the dentist’s chair, indeed, he nearly always for got where he was ip his eagerness to hold forth on something or other he had read in the newspaper that morning. Instrument in hand, Tim was warded off by the huge index ; finger with which Grasswater | rammed home the point of his I harangue. At last he succeeded in [Shutting the man up by stuffing an excessive amount of cotton j wadding into his mouth, but by the time he had finished with him he I was nearly an hour behind sched ule. | Then there was the Methodist pastor, Dr. Gorringe, for whom he had provided a plate of three up per teeth after a cycling accident a few months ago. Dr. Gorringe, 'a nervous and fidgety person, sim ply could not get used to his plate. Generally it was too loose, in which case he came to Tim to get it jtightened. Then he would fiddle about with it until it was loose again, and he would be back in a week. Last time Tim had given him good measure in the hope of stopping the nonsense, and the minister’s complaint now was that it was too tight; he had great diffi culty in getting it out in the eve nings and in in the mornings. Tim tinkered with it a bit. “That’s perfect Mr. Kennedy.” Capital Gossip BY HENRY AVERILL Raleigh, Oct. 15.—First editorials on the subject of Frank Hancock’s an nounced opposition to Robert R. Rey nolds appear to be more favorable to the candidacy and chances of the Fifth District congressman than might have been expected. Numerous papers throughout the State have all but taken a flat-footed stand in favor of Mr. Hancock, while others not quite so outspoken thus early in the game have conceded him more than an outside chance in his race. Senator Reynolds thus far has not given the Hancock candidacy the honor of serious comment, contending himself with the expression that it will give him “exercise.” Judging from the tone of newspaper comment there is some danger (speak ing from the Reynolds viewpoint) that the incumbent will find that all he will get from the campaign is “exer cise.” i NCSES News, mimeographed organ of the North Carolina State Employ ment Service does more than give sta tistical data on the number of appli cants for positions and on the place ments made by its offices. The sheet contains brief interesting items from the various offices as well as review of books dealing with the unemployment problem and, in its most recent issue, a detailed discus sion of The Employment Exchange Service of Great Britain. E. F. Arnold, secretary of the North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation, ex pects a big attendance at the Win ston-Salem meeting of the Senate Ag riculture subcommittee Monday of next week. Jones county is sending at least a carloads of farmers, Greene county ten; Pitt at least as many, he said. ' “In all there should be at least 1,- 500 farmers from the eastern part of the state alone,” he said. Capus M. Waynick, director of the division of purchase and contract, has sent out notice that bids will be re ceived at 10 a. m. October 21, on a number of materials to be used by the sjtate, jindluding caulking com pound, furniture polish, electric motors, fuses, fire extinguishers, cor rugated metal pipe, creosoted lumber, windshield wipers, gasoline and pinto heans. If you have a farm or town property for sale os rent, let me help you handle it. That’s my bus iness. Al, B. Wester, McCoin Bldg. Henderson, N. C. Phone IS9-J. ■said Dr. Gorringe at last. “I’m sure it will be all right this time.” He always said that. Last came a normal patient, but a rather difficult case, requiring bridging and crowning, and likely to take a full hour. As it was already past his usual hour for lunch, Tim was not in the best of humor as he tackled the oper ation. He had hardly begun it be fore he realized he was out of the mixture he used as a mouth wash. He rang the bell for Adams, in tending to send him round to the chemist, but there was no response, even when he went out into the hall and called. Eventually he telephoned the chemist (whose boy proved to be out) and made do with lysol. It was well after 2 when he finished, and as he had another appointment at half past 2 he lost his lunch, and had to be satisfied with a snack at the Wil liam and Mary. When he got back Adams had also returned. “What happened to you, Adams?” he asked, quite amiably. “I wanted you just after 1, but you weren’t about.” “I went to lunch,” said Adams. “I didn’t think you’d want me once you’d started with Mrs. Braith waite.” “Well, you might have asked me.” Tim went on into his sur gery, a little puzzled. It was not at all like Adams to go off like that without a word. Perhaps, un der the circumstances, being be hind his time, he should have told Adams he could go. But taking French leave, was a different matter. And there had been something disagreeable about the man’s tone. Not definitely rude, but lacking in his usual rather servile respectful ness. Tim recalled he had not ad dressed him as “Sir”—and Adams was generally lavish with his “Sirs”. No doubt he was ont of sorts. Tim forgot about it, but the inci dent was recalled to his mind a few days later. He was sitting in the living room after dinner one eve ning, playing solitaire, when he heard a sudden scuffle and a bump in the passage which led to the kitchen and domestic offices. It was followed by a burst of laugh ter —Adams’ shiggering laugh and an affected whinny, which •he recognized as coming from the housemaid. Then a slammed door, and silence. . . . Tim went out into the corridor, feeling rather like a schoolmaster, but there was no further disturb ance. This was a relief to him, for he had no idea how to cope with domestic insubordination. The wheels had always run too smooth ly. .. . He wondered if he had. in LABOR DEPARTMENT WELL STAFFED NOW Divisions of Standards and Inspection Adds New Men To Carry On Its Duties D>|t|y pigimtch Bureau, in tlie Sir Walter Hntel. Raleigh, Oct. 15. —The division of standards an dinspection, Labor De partment, is now better staffed than ever before in its history, according to Major A. L. Fletcher, labor com missioner. The division now has seven indus trial inspectors, two boiler inspectors, one elevator inspector, one mine and quarry inspector and a woman in spector to deal with child labor and the employment of women in industry. The state has been divided into seven inspection districts wsth in spection work in each of these dis tricts in charge of a trained inspector who has his headquarters centrally “M” SYSTEM STORE Free Delivery Phone No. 177-J WEEK-END SPECIALS FLOUR, 24-lb. r- 75c FLOUR, 48 lb. bag S l - 50 LARD, 4 lb. carton 47c PURE COFFEE, 2 lbs. 29c LUZIANNE COFFEE» 1 lb. can ----26 c MEAL, Water Ground, 10 lb. bag __ 27 l-2c SMOKED PORK SAUSAGE, lb 25c SAUSAGE, Fre»h all pork, lb 25c BOLOGNA, lb. 19c CABBAGE. 4 lbs. 10c SALAD DRESSING, quart jar 25° TOMATO SOUP, c»n 5e VEGETABLE Soup, can ** c PEACHES, 25c gize, 2 cans 37c Peaches, 15c size, 3 cans 35c the past, given sufficient credit to Esther’s unstudied tact and friend liness as the principal factor in the pleasant relationship with the servants which had always ob tained at The Wilderness. There had never been any fric tion, he had never been called on to exercise his authority as master of the house, and now he hardly knew how to administer a rebuke without appearing to make too heavy weather of the matter. . . . Nevertheless, he recollected that he had once been Adams’ superior officer, and failure to speak a word in season would be prejudicial to his dignity. . . . When Adams brought him his usual bowl of chocolate about an hour later, he said, without look ing up from his cards: “Having a bit of a lark just now, weren’t you, Adams?” Adams put on a look of surprise. “Lark, sir? . . . Oh, yes, we were having some fun in the kitchen just now. You’ve no objection, sir, I suppose?” “No objection at all, Adams.” Tim spoke very smoothly. “Pro vided you keep it to the kitchen and don’t make too much row. . . , But you were in the corridor, and you were making quite a lot of row, weren’t you?” “Oh, that was only for a mo ment.” “That makes no difference. And if there’d been a visitor here it would have looked bad, wouldn’t it?” “It wouldn’t have happened if there’d been a visitor here.” Adams put down the tray. “Any thing further tonight, sir?” Tim was so unused to imperti nence from Adams*—or indeed from anyone—that he could hardly be lieve he was receiving it now. . . . He tried a little sarcasm. “No, nothing more. . . . No of fense, I hope, Adams?” “Oh, no, sir. We understand each other.” Do we though? thought Tim, as he stripped the cards off the sequences and built up the packs of suits at the side. Hanged if I do, in this new mood of yours. It’s as if a dog who’s fawned on you for a dozen years were to suddenly turn round and bite you. ... You’ll have to mend your manners, my friend. Or you’ll have to go. He snapped on the last king, fin ished his chocolate, and went to bed, a little upset but not seriously concerned. For the next few days Adams’ behavior was exemplary. But Tim had a curious feeling that it was only so on sufferance; that it only needed the slightest word of complaint, the least breath of criti cism, to introduce a very different atmosphere.
