Barney Rasdale. Sources said the case was broken by Johnson County Sheriff Roland Attaway after he arrested Seay and Blackwell on . moonshining charges on Sept. 25. A team of GBI agents has been working on the case fulltime since the morning of Au. 7, when Hoard, a well- known norm Georgia crime- buster, switched on the ignition of his car and died m a thunderous explosion. Investigators said several sticks of dynamite had been wired to the car, and speculated Hoard was killed because of his crackdown on moonshine and bootlegging operations in the area. As an offshoot of the in vestigation, the grand jury de nounced Sheriff L. G.

Polk didn't mind sticking his neck out on a lizib either during his days at the University of North Carolina or during his tenure in the na tion's highest office. The same forthright tem perament that plunged Polk in to campus controversies ISO years ago was later to spur the North Carolinian into making some of the most ambitious decisions that a President has ever made. - At the height of the University's first major clash between faculty and students in the fall of 1218, involving freedom of expression, Polk advised his fellow students "Stoop not from the tree prin ciples of honor to gain the favor of the faculty and thus succeed in your views or pro motion." .

Gen. Arthur Bolton had appointed Luther Haynes, now solicitor general .emeritus i of . Cobb County, to help Piedmont Solicitor Wesley Channel in prosecuting the case- against the five men. Maddos had appointed Chan nel to replace Hoard. "It would be a matter of great pleasure for me to give in great detail those facts which I am acquainted con cerning this investigation," Maddox said, "but the proper forum for any such disclosure is me court to iry mose persons facing indictment." But he confirmed that Hoard was killed because of "reaction to this pressure" that he was putting on moonshiners in his circuit. Maddox noted that a 33-year-old Forsyth County man, who in October was reported a "prime suspect" in the case, was not indicted. m m m A 1.

Polk was a native of the , small community of PineviHe in Mecklenburg County. Although his family had moved to Tennessee, he returned to North Carolina to enter the Chapel HH1 campus as a sophomore in January, 1816. At that time the campus was a tiny, struggling institution of only a few buildings. There were only 80 students and a faculty of five men. The ra ged little village of Chapel Hill had only a tavern, two stores and 13 houses. Polk lived in the southwest room on the third floor of Main Building (now South BuHding.) The other dormitory, East BuHding (later called "Old East") was a two-story struc ture with only 16 rooms.

The next day a 12-car-riage caravan took the rough, bumpy read to Chapel IHIL life bad certainly changed since Polk had been a student there. Chapel ICa was still a village, but it had crown con- siderably. It was now a tw o-tavern town with a popula tion of 500 poisons. A New York Herald reporter wrote that there was "a graa doise spirit of hospitality" in the town. There were great throngs of people crowding into the small town to greet the President. Miss Nancy Hilliard's Hotel overflowed with visitors, and many people from all parts of the South just pitched tents or slept in their wagons. Polk deeply appreciated the hardy reception, and often mingled with the crowds. He loved the University, and he had returned to pay tribute to the University for his sue cess. In his commencement ad dress he said: "As I came up, I recognized a number of particular objects which were still the same in these halls in which I havd spent three years of my life and to the acquisitions here received, I mainly, attribute whatever success has attended the labors of my subsequent years.
