Grfnd Jury Upholds Abemethy.
The grand jury at a term of Su-
porior Court at Gresnvine being
presided over by Judge Oliver Allen
of this city has reported to the
bench that criticism of Solicitor
Abemethy for being frequently alb-
sent from court was' ill-founded.
"He had a good and sufficient reas
on for feeing absent" and the State
was ably represented when the' prose
cutor was away, the jury reported.

of the molasses.
There is' reason to believe, thinks
Mr. Rouse, that illicit dintillers are
using molasses and he wants it known
that he is cooperating with the In
ternal Revenue Department to put a
stop to any such use. Transportation
companies will be called upon to ac
count for the delivery of molasses
in excess of one barrel at a time to
consignees and the delivery of any
quantity to fictitious purchasers will
be regarded With suspicion and be
reported to the Internal Revenue
agents, t -Extraordinary
State of Affairs.
A novel situation is presented here
as a result of the orders limiting
purchases and holdings of flour and
sugar.
Consumers are selling to mer
chants.
Business is very good, too.
Many barrels of flour and many
"surplus" pounds of sugar have been
returned to groceries during the past
36 hours. The well-adevrtised fact
that it is dangerous for a town resi
dent to own more than half a barrel
of flour or five pounds of sugar
country residents double those quan
tities caused many persons to get
level with the maximum. One man
is said to have sold nearly $100
worth of stuff to his dealer!
Numerous families are rumored to
have held several barrels of flour.
Several came to light with all the
way from five to 25 barrels, it is said,
and one is reported to have Hid no
less than 60 barrels. Dealers Thurs
day were not promiscuously bandy
ing these "unfortunates' " names
about.
In all instances, so far as reported,
Compliance with the orders was in
the most cheerful spirit possible. Le
noir County food "hoarders" are pa
triotic.
Reports to Food Administrator
Rouse Thursday led him to believe
there was no sugar or flour shortage
here now. Oh, no.
Mr. Rouse, fuel administrator al
so, has diverted nearly a carload of
coal to the Caswell Cotton Mills,
which needed the fuel to operate
Families badly in need were supplied
also.
