We received a letter from Dick Byrd with Carolina Power and Light Company in Raleigh, telling us of having recently visited the place where Hugh McAden was buried. This is most interesting, it will be in Open Forum on the Edi torial Page in this week's paper. Read it. Dick is originally from Warsaw, and before going with CP&L he worked with a country weekly. I believe Dick has news paper blood in the veins. Please, make an effort to get copy into us at an earlier date. We mail our paper on Wednesday night and it makes it impossible to hndle some of the news that comes in on Wednesday. We have to eith er leave it out or carry it over to the next week, which makes rather late news. We are very anxious to give up-to-date news, so please co operate with us and when you have special stories g?t them to us by Tuesday. Thank you.
