employees who will be working for
the prison system." he added.
According to Watson, every
employee w ho w ill remain wuh the
prison has been going through a
training period.
"They are preparing our people
tor their new jobs. They are
teaching them how to deal with in
mates," Watson said.
Although the conversion ha->
been "a little awkward" for all in
volved. Watson said things were
going "belter" than he expected.
"It has been a good transition
under the circumstances." Watson
said.
"The entire conversion process
has been a little easier than we had
anticipated." he added.
After l-riday, the lung treatment
facility that has been standing on
the hill since the early IWO's will
shut its doors.
"They will start moving inmates
in here around the latter part o!
November. I ntil that lime, they
will begetting prepared." Watson
said.
Part of the preparation for the
facility's new role will be the erec
tion of a barbed wired fence that
encompass the over 80-year-old
building.
Employees are a little sad that
the hospital had to be changed, but
glad that the conversion went so
smoothly," Watson said.
"It will not be the same, but I
think everyone is ready to gel back
on track," Watson added.
Watson is also retiring Friday
Hunt Still In Jail

Huni was actually placed under a
SI 7.400 bond in thai county and a
S5.000 bond in Harneii.
Although Hunt has missed at
least three Count\ Commission
meetings because of his financial
troubles, he said he did not feel his
job was suffering.
"This is not affecting the 10b
I'm doing on the commission. It is
not affecting it in any \\a>. it I win

"I'm not going to resign. I will
be therethrough 19X6." Hunt add

Center. The first card will be called
at 7:30 o'clock.
The proceeds from the games
will go to a worthy cause in Hoke
County. The Trainable Mentally
Handicapped Class received the
proceeds last year. Help a worth

bingo player, then go out and win
a prize and also help the ladies.
It will be almost impossible to
play bingo in North Carolina in the
future except for events such as
this. The legislature has passed a
law that has put a stop to all com
mercial bingo.
According to the club, bingo will
be played on the first Saturday
night of each month, except
December.

The football season is now in
full swing, but many folks are still
interested in the baseball races. It
is hard to keep up with both unless
you .have a remote control for your
television. There is too much get
ting up and down. A man stated
the other day that he was still look
ing at baseball and would start
football after the World Series. I
believe he has something.
It looks as if the NCAA will
eliminate freshmen from playing in
football and basketball. According
to a report in the daily papers most
of the ACC coaches are in agree
ment.
It would not be a bad idea
because most colleges hold back or
redshirt many players now. It
would also help the players to start
college life, including their studies,
without all the pressure of big time
athletics.
A few weeks ago 1 received a let
ter from Morganton with a slip in
if to order a book written by Sen.
Sam Ervin. The name of the book
was "Humor Of A Country
Lawyer." I ordered the book and
have finished it and will say it is the
best book I have read in many
years. With all the magazines that
come to the house each month, it is
hard to find time to read a book.

This one was hard to put down.
The book is about politicians,
preachers, bootleggers, etc., that
have crossed Sen. Ervin's path in
his many years as public servant
and as a lawyer. Most of the stories
in the book have his wit and it will
make you laugh out ever so often.
Sen. Ervin as most of you know,
now lives in Morganton and is 87
years young. His secretary is Mary
Black McBryde, a native of Hoke
County who was with him in
Washington.
Mary Black is mentioned in the
preface of the book. The writer
says she typed his handwritten
sentences and put them in the cor
rect form.
Two other Hoke County people
are mentioned in the book. Both
are now dead, but are well-known
by all the people of Hoke County.
They are D. Scott Poole, former
newspaper publisher and legislator
and Dr. Watson M. Fairly, former
pastor at the Raeford Presbyterian
Church.
My copy is being read by a
neighbor, but if you get a chance
be sure to read, "Humor Of A
Country Lawyer."
