Southern National Bank's Freddie Williams, county bond chairman, made the presentation in a ceremony Monday. 180 Businesses Now In Operation Locally NEW YORK, Apr. 19 - For its size, Hoke County supports a large number of business establishments. According to figures recently released by the government, there are more businesses in operation locally, in proportion to population, than in many communities across the country. The findings are reported in a new study by the Deaprtment of Commerce, entitled "County Business Patterns." It is based upon data compiled by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare from tax reports filed last year RALEIGH REPORT? Continued from page 2 medical care no matter where they live. A resolution has been introduced in the House congratulating the Garden Club of North Carolina on its 50 years of service to citizens. The organization was created in 1925 by five garden clubs in Winston-Salem, High Point, Asheboro, Reidsville, and Raleigh. Today it has more than 800 member clubs and more than 18,500 individual members. The Garden Club of North Carolina has been responsible for establishment of the Elizabethan Garden at Manteo, the Daniel Boone Native Garden at Boone, the Brunswick Town Native Trail at Southport, and the Martha Franck Fragrance Garden for the Blind at Durham. I am proud to add my voice in praise of the club for outstanding accomplishments during its first 50 years. May the second 50 years be as rewarding and fruitful as the first. ?C OF C? Continued from page I projects until the Board of Education could study the projects involved and report their findings. Miss Nusser told the commissioners it is expected more money will be allocated in the public service employment funds in the near future. In routine matters, the board approved the sale of a lot for taxes on Airport Road, reappointed Lewis Oxendine and Stephen Williams as members of the health board, and passed a resolution to accept the letter of resignation of Phil Ricks, assistant extension service agent. The board also heard summaries of the activities of die farm agent and home agent in the past month. The board approved repair of the courthouse roof, which was reported to be leaking in several places, at a cost of $1,050.00. The firm of J.E. Odom of Fayetteville began work on the roof later in the day. , The board was also informed by the National Association of Counties in a letter of a dues increase, effective July I. Lester reported the increase would amount to about $100 more, and may go higher if the fee rate is upped as well. The board discussed a complaint made by A.S. Baldwin regarding about $200 worth of damage alleged to have been done to a fence on the Baldwin property when a man driving a stolen car crashed into the fence, attempting to elude a deputy. After conferring with Hosteller, the board agreed the county was not liable for any damages and recommended Baldwin contact his or her insurer for claims under a homeowner's policy. A motion was carried to proclaim May as "older Americans month" locally after a similar proclamation made by Gov. Holshouser waa noted in a letter from the Department of Human Resources. Releases of taxes representing insolvents and deceased taxpayers in reports submitted by the tax collector were passed by the board. The list of insolvents totaled $2,613.87 in taxes and the amount on the deceased list as $925.94. The board also approved a release of a $33 liability in taxes to James & Etta Ruff, McLauchlin Township, acting on information the tax wis paid to Cumberland County. by employers. In it is listed, for every county in the United States, comparable data on employment and payrolls for firms engaged in retail and wholesale trade, manufacturing, finance, services and the like. In operation in Hoke County are some 180 separate businesses that employ one or more persons, the figures show. In addition, there are an untabulated number that have no employees and are owner - operated. Of the 180 listed, there are 91 that have from 1 to 3 persons on their payrolls, 47 with 4 to 7 and 27 with 8 to 19. Although firms of long standing make up the bulk of the local business community, each year witnesses some changes as new enterprises are started and some older ones are discontinued for one reason or another. As in most parts of the country, small and medium - size businesses predominate locally. They have proved to be quite durable, despite the competition from chain stores and other large companies. The report shows that 92 percent of them have 20 employees or less. Nationally, 84 percent are that size. At last count, businesses in Hoke County were providing gainful employment for some 3,295 men and women in non-farm, covered jobs. ?COMMISSION ? Continued from page 1 a plea of no contest to an indictment charging a felony, unless citizenship is restored; physical or mental incompetence; and having been adjudged 'non compos mentis'. McPhaul said the personal knowledge of the commissioners comes into play here as names arc discussed for removal. He cited cases where the person is known to be seriously ill or dying. "These are taken off, of course", he said. He also cited very elderly persons, obviously unable to get around, as names which would be removed by agreement of the panel. McPhaul emphasized that other names are ? removed only for reasons required by law. "We might know them, and think they don't have brains enough to sit on a jury, but we can't throw them off", he said. The chairman indicated there is little likelihood in Hoke County that minorities will not be well represented on the final jury list. The names on the tax rolls are identified only by township, and the voting list is assembled according to which precinct was voted in, he said. "It's just a bunch of names as far as die jury commission goes. If we stayed up there, trying to figure out who was black, white, or Indian, we'd never get through,"he commented. "As far as I know, we've never had any criticism, at least it hasn't come to me. The boys I've served with have always been very conscientious about it". The other two members of the last commission were Henry Blue and James Davis. Members may be appointed, but no announcement of this year's appointments has been made as yet. One member is appointed by the senior resident Superior Court judge, one by the clerk of Superior Court, and one is selected by the board of county commissioners. The board of county commissioners is also empowered to fix the compensation for members of the jury commission. According to a statement filed with County Auditor T.B. Lester, the members of the last jury commission worked 48'A hours apiece and were paid $200. The finished jury list is given to the Register of Deeds where it is to be kept under lock and key. However, the list is subject to inspection by the public during regular office hours, according to law. The' commission is also required to submit a statement of "the sources used and the procedures followed" in preparation of the list. The statement is required to be "accurate and sufficient" so that the public may verify the commission's procedures. ?WILT sSSb, FOR RENT: 2 bedroom mobile home, near Raeford, Contact 875-2673 after 5 pjn.

Ur, as to civil cases: How can a lawyer defend a case when he believes his client is wrong and really owes the money sought? These are questions which are perplexing only to laymen. Before the law all men are equal, and guilty men have the same right to be defended and represented by counsel as have the innocent. Indeed, the right to the assistance of counsel is one of the rights expressly guaranteed in the United States Constitution. In a way the practice of law is like free speech. It defends what we hate as well as what we most love. The attorney brings forward for his client such facts, principles of law, and arguments as may be properly presented for his client, leaving it to the opposing counsel to do the same for his side, and to the judge or jury to the judge or jury to weigh the conflicting claims and decide between them. There is an honorable way of defending the worst of cases. An attorney who assumes to represent the rights of a person charged with a crime acts merely in his official capacity. The prisoner may be morally guilty, but the only question submitted to the jury is whether he is legally guilty - guilty under the law upon the particular issue tried. The prisoner has a right to have the evidence against him fully tested by legal rules before it is relied upon for a conviction. To secure the benefit of this right he must have counsel. This in itself seems sound morality. The pseudo - moralist prejudgment of cases is little different from the lynch mob. The lawyer is like the banker who handles other people's money and the minister who handles other people's spiritual problems. Canon 5 of the legal profession's Code of Ethics provides: "It is the right of the lawyer to undertake the defense of a person accused of crime, regardless of his personal opinion as to the guilt of the accused; otherwise innocent persons, victims only of suspicious circumstances, might be denied defense. Having undertaken such defense, the lawyer is bound, by all fair and honorable means, to present every defense that the law of the land permits, to the end that no person may be deprived of life or liberty, but by due process of law." In America, all persons accused of a serious crime will be furnished a lawyer appointed by the court if the accused does not have the money with which to employ one. Of course, in such cases, the assigend lawyer must fulfill his obligation to the court and to the client. He has no choice. The fact that he may sincerely believe his client is guilty is immaterial. Every client is entitled to the best defense his lawyer can muster. The instinctive impulse of everyone is to range himself on the side of angels. But our law gives the devil an advocate.
