' LETTER TO THE EDITOR Sir; Last Sunday morning at five o'clock someone knocked on our front screen door hard several tiimes.. When we got there there stood a nice looking blond, well dress ed about 23 years old and edu—= cated. She was out of breath and' crying. It took a long time to get breath enough to tell what her trouble was. She said she could not get her boy friend to take her home and she jumped out of the car and ran here. While she waited on the porch trying to tell h“r story she Was scared. She kept looking back c'own the road toward Raeford. The next morning her tracks coming to the house showed she was running. It was not long be fore she whs in Moore County at her home. There is right much tobacco a- round Timberland now to be sold. It will have to go to Durham.
