White then referred mmly to the attacks being made 31ivq and or his assistants upon Royster of Henderson, Wil B. Umstead, the State Uti ls Commission, etc. Yes”, agreed Dr. Johnson, “the re folks are tossing a lot of iches—a match here, one there— ches everywhere. You just can’t r when one of those matches kht cause an explosion, a poli ttl forest fire, or something.” [dttle did Baptist Prophet John realize £hat one of those mat Is would come falling in his ction within five days with these Jrds spoken pleasurably by Hu pt Olive: “One of my first official as Govener will be to retire T.

Thus spake one devout and pro nent Baptist of another. .rhere is just a slight suspicion | these parts that Umstead also tty be looking hard in the direc in of the “Little Doctor.” Some lople say he has done a good job.
