Some years ago, Hattie Royall started treating convicts working the highway near her home on 117 I with refreshments. A lecture goes with the refreshments. When the men take a break to eat cake and | soft drinks she has given them, | Mrs. Royal! 'goes to work,, giving a talk usually os a religious theme. The convicts now look-forward j to working ia this section, for they l know Mrs. Royall will be waiting i with cake and soft drinks. She has ’ never let them down, although she has had some close calls, such as the one this weak Mrj. Royall. looked.’out her win | ddw, saw the men working da the road, and since .she1 had no refresh* merits in the house, took off to the store-to buy some.

As ah® drove, .'the Negro hitch hiker puked if. ahf were the one who gave refreshments to the con victs and when she replied in the affirmative, the man told this story: Several years ago when he was serving a road sentence, the guard told them one morning as they were leaving camp they would get refreshments that day. The others | in the chain gang knew immediate j iy where they would be working ; that day, and he added he soon i learned that when the guard spoke | of refreshments, it meant they j would be working in Mount Olive, ; ' r:z**i* ; ■<* Town Meet, Make Plandx I Mount Olive braced this week for Hurricane Connie, loitering off the coast but headed toward shore with the Carolinas as its target.
