Hears Delegation
George W. Kane, District High
way Commissioner, and his office j
force, met yesterday and heard sev
eral Person County delegations and
one from Guilford county. Os course, I
all were given a patient hearing but ]
as usual the only promise that could
be given was that each matter would
receive their earnest consideration.
At the present time the commission 1
cannot make any definite promises,
but in time many of these worth- |
while roads will be built.
After adjournment at 12:30 p. m.,
the commissioners met at the prison
camp and with a number of invited
guests enjoyed a barbecue dinner.
Mayor Winstead pronounced the in
vocation, and when this was disposed
of a number of guests made short
impromptu addresses.
The Editor was among the favor
ed guests, and after looking over the
camp was struck with the cleanli- I
ness, orderly, and sanitary condition
of the camp and says truthfully
that it is the best kept prison camp
he has ever had the pleasure of see
ing from the inside —for it is the on
ly one he has viewed from the in
side. If all of the prison camps in
Mr. Kang's district are so well kept, j
then he will surely rate 100 per cent, i

Laval May Be
Executed Within
Next Few Days
Paris, Pierre Laval, three-time
premier of France, was Sentenced
to death in absentia Tuesday for
betraying his country to the Ger
mans and helping them rivet pti
the fetters which kept it in slavery.
He will meet llis end before a
firing squad at Montrouge fortress
just outside of Paris, probably be
fore the end of the week. Gen.
Charles dr Gaulle is certain to re
ject any plea for clemency, it was
said, and for that reason it was
unlikely the swarthy chief of the
Vichy government would make one.
1 His jury took only one hour to
arrive at the verdict of guilty of
’ both counts—treason and intelli
gence with the enemy. Under the
verdict. Laval also was sentenced
to national indignity and ius for-,
tune —once one of the larges; in
France—was ordered confiscated.
He was not in the courtroom
: when what was to have been one
of France's historic trials fizzled to
i its end like a performance of Ham
| let without the prince. But all eyes
| were upon the defendant's chair —
behind which rested a bottle ol
Vichy water and a glass—when
! Judge Pierre Mongibeaux. in red
irimmed aniline robes, pronounced
j the verdict in a flat, matter-of-fact
voice.
| Maintaining that both the judge
and jury had displayed prejudice.
Laval had refused to return t:> the
i courtroom after a tumultuous ses
sion Saturday when all parties
1 shouted abuse at one another.
Neither defense attorneys nor dc
