they could They have been abolished by legisla tive act come next December 31 and are in such legal state they are not sure they can resign Abolishing them was foolish if it should appear that under compulsion they can ac complish the seemingly impossible tasks set for them and folks afore time have accomplished what appear ed more than impossible if it was that or worse If the Robeson road board

Governor Gardner was advised by the sheriff the mayor and ether officials and private citizens that the situation was beyond local control or promised to be and that troops were necessary to keep the

Roanoke Rapids The indictment was returned by the grand jury of the federal district court in Raleigh and is said to contain several counts of alleged misapplication of funds and false entries in violation of the national banking law Long has been prominent in politics and was one or more times president pro tern of the State senate The amount involved is variously stated at from $260000 to more than a half million Long is or was president of two cotton mills the Rosemary manufacturing com pany and the Roanoke mills It is said that it was in connection with the acecunts of these mills that the alleged irregularities occurrel Long was a director of the at the time Be is a strong man intelkcUi ally and has been suggested as a pos sible candidate for the United States senate Council

the 'discretion of the judge who de termines his course according to the facts brought out He is under no obligation to lessen the punishment because the loss has been made good but it is a custom to take that fact into consideration WOULD BE GREAT I IT WOULD WORK The Robesonian is telling that the road board of Robeson county has found itself over against an impasse a cul de sac a blind alley or what ever you would call an insurmounta ble obstacle In other words the Robeson road board has recently found' that certain legislative acts the handiwork of the Robeson county legislative delegation are designed if not intended to' require it to make bricks without straw The acts set out that certain roads shall be built within a specified time pain of fine and imprisonment No allow ance is made for unavoidable delays on account of unfavorable weather or anything The date is definitely fixed for the completion of work and if it done the members of the road board can explain to the court which

power interests have attempted in various ways under cover to exer cise an influence in publicity meth ods as revealed some time ago They even went so far as to employ mem bers of college faculties to edit school books The purpose was to provide school books that would teach the youth who studied economics that public ownership of public utilities is all wrong They have extended their lines so far

Reference was recently made to a candidate for councilman (alderman) in Greensboro who advocated ex empting new industries from taxa tion While the North Carolina con stitution does not permit the
