undefeated and boasting a clean
slate in conference competition,
Tlie fact that they got upset in

is serving this year as a reminder
to the Green Wave and Coach
Stuart Maynard that they mustn't
take this week-end s job too light

Wallace Warren will get in as >

ilso subject to see action both ini

The football band will not go
o Scotland Neck for this game but
s making plans for a show at the

Scotland Neck is reported to
a\'e played at Plymouth without
lie services of three of its key

a the line. If that is true and the

could add to the Green Wave’s

In Constitution
At Next Election
Fifth Change Would Have
The Chief Juntiee As
sign The Judges
Five amendtments to the Con-1
stitution of North Carolina will
be submitted to popular vote on
November ?. The adoption or re
jeetion of each amendment will
be determined by the majority of
the votes east for or against each 1
amendment. The legal signifi-11
anec of the proposed No. 5 (
amendment is briefly explained 1
as follows:
5 Assignment and Jurisdiction of I
Superior Court Judges.
Section 11 of Article IV of the j j
Constitution provides: , c
“ 11. Residences of judges; ro- j i
tation in judicial districts; and J \
special terms.—Every judge of the j c
Superior Court shall reside in the [a
district for which he is elected. J
The judges shall preside in thf : t
courts of the different districts | i
successively, but no judge shall j c
hold the courts in the same dis
trict oftener than once in four
years; but in case of the protracted
illness of the judge assigned to
preside in any district, or of any
other unavoidable accident to him,
by reason of which he shall be un
able to preside, the Governor may
require any judge to hold one or
more specified terms in said dis
trict, in lieu of the judge assign
ed to hold the courts of the said
district; and the General Assem
bly may by general laws provide
for the selection of special or e
mcrgency judges to hold the Su
perior Courts of any county, or
district, when the judge assigned
thereto, by reason of sickness, dis
ability, or other cause, is unable
lo attend and hold said court, and
when no other judge is available
lo hold the same. Such special, or
L-mergency judges shall have the
Dower and authority of regular
judges of the Superior Courts, in
he courts which they are so ap
aointed to hold; and the General
Assembly shall provide for the
reasonable compensation.’’
The proposed amendment to be
submitted to the voters on No
vember 7, 1950, would make two
najor changes:

(1) Transfer to the Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court the au
thority now exercised by the Gov
ernor in respect to the assignmen
of judges; and
(2) Grant authority to the Gen
eral Assembly to define the jur
lsdiction of the Special and Emer
gency Superior Court judges.
This amendment was also reco
mmended by the Commission foi
the Improvement of the Admin
istration of Justice. In explaining
ind recommending the adoption
af this proposed amendment, the
Commission stated in its reporl
vith respect to the first of the
■hanges listed above:
“Without intending any criti
:ism of the manner in which our
Covernors have exercised the au
hority vested in them to assign
udges, we believe that in our
orm of government such au
thority properly belongs to the
udicial department. The problem
f which judge to assign to hold
particular term of court may in
olve a keen appreciation of judi
ial skills. It seems to us reason
ble to suppose that the Chief
ustice of the Supreme Court is
ie officer in our government
kely, year in and year out, to
ischarge these functions most
jccessfully. By training and ex
erience, he will be able readily
j assess the needs of a particular
aunty and to know the judge
cst fitted to meet those needs.
“We urge that the Chief Jus
cc be given these powers for an
ther reason. It is our belief that
le successful administration of
istice, like any great labor, re
uires unified direction. Obvious
the Chief Justice of our Su
reme Court is the public officer
ho can best be expected to sup
ly this unity. But he cannot do -
> if the administrative direction
the judicial system is in other
mds. Our proposal is a begin
ing towards making the office
Chief Justice the decisive onej
the administration of justice!
this State. We contemplate that
trough this and other measures,
ic Chief Justice will be not only
ie presiding officer of our high
;t court but the chief judicial of
fer of the entire State to whom
1 others in the judicial depart
ent will be responsible. He would
form himself of the needs of the
irious sections of the State, of
>w the task of administering
stice is being performed and of
e proper measures to take or
I recommend to others for improve
; ment. And the people of the State
; could hold him responsible for
the performance of such duties.
When difficulties arose, the peo
ple would know to whom to turn
i for remedial action.”
( The second change which the
proposed amendment would effect
is that which would leave the
General Assembly free to define
the jurisdiction of Special and
I Emergency judges whereas their
jurisdiction is at present lim
ited by the Constitutional strait
! jacket which gives them the pow
er and authority of regular judges
i only "in the courts which they
arc so appointed to hold.” A Spec
- ial or Emergency judge not only
has no out-of-court jurisdiction,
but there is a twilight zone even
when he is holding court, all of
j which has resulted at times in
confusion and inconvenience. The
proposed amendment would au
thorize the General Assembly to
define the jurisdiction of such
judges.
Chapter 775 of the Session Laws
of 1949 as amended by Chapter
1194, proposes to rewrite Section
11 of Article IV to read as fol-!
lows:
“See. 11. Judicial Districts; Ro-1
tation; Special Superior Court:
Judges; Assignment of Superior :
Court Judges by Chief Justice. I
Each Judge of the Superior Court
shall reside in the district fori
which he is elected. The General j
Assembly may divide the State j
into a number of judicial divi- j
sions. The judges shall preside
in the courts of the different dis
tricts within a division successive
ly; but no judge shall hold all
the courts in the same district of
tener than once in four years. The
General Assembly may provide
by general laws for the selection
or appointment of Special or
Emergency Superior Court Judges
not asigned to any judicial dis
trict, who may be designated
from time to time by the Chief
Justice, to hold court in any dis
tricts within the State; and the
General Assembly shall define
their jurisdiction and shall pro
vide for their reasonable com
pensation. The Chief Justice, when
in his opinion the public interest
so requires, may assign any Su
perior Court Judge to hold one
or more terms of Superior Court
in any district."
The proposed amendment rela
tive to the assignment and juris

Edgar J. Gurganus. president of
Wdliamston Junior Chamber of
: Commerce, which is sponsoring
the Barter Theatre production of
"The Show-Off" here Wednesday
Nov. 29, 1950, announces the chair
1 men of thc^ local committees in
charge of the performance.
They are Bruce Roebuck, tick
ets: James Bullock, reservations;
Nelson Leggette, publicity.
Caddell Burroughs, a veteran of
the New York and Chicago stage,
plays the show-off. Burroughs is
probably best remembered in
theatrical circles for his work in
George Abbott's production of
'Kiss and Tell'. Before his stint
on Broadway and Chicago's Main
Stem, he was a familiar voice to
radio audiences in his native Tex
as. This is his third season with
the Barter Theatre.
The Barter Theatre, America's
oldest and largest professional
theatrical company, is the State
Theatre of Virginia. The Barter
Players are on their fifth annual
national tour, which brings the
legitimate theatre to the people
of twenty-eight states.
r
Throngs Attend
Big Dance Here
Sponsored by the local colored
American Legion post, a dance
held in the Planters Warehouse
here Tuesday evening attracted
several thousand dancers and
spectators. One report declared
that five thousand visitors came
here, that most of them crowded
into the warehouse, packing it
from wall to wall One report said
that only 1,(100 tickets were sold.
Dancers were crowded off the
floor by spectators and there was
so much noise and the smoke was
so thick one could hardly hear
the orchestra, Chief John Roe
buck said.
For the most part, the dance
was orderly, but traffic was al
most stalled on South Haughton
Street. Two persons were arrested
and booked for drunkenness, the
officer said.
Keep a close check on the gas
ket of refrigerator doors. Pom
gaskets are often the reason for
high electric bills.
A good political leader must
keep ahead of several crowds,
each going in a different direction.
