Senator Vance has accepted an IN
~yitation to deliver the Annual Address
before the old Maryland Line In Bal

"Last Days Of the Var, IN North Caro-

graphic style.
1t might be a good sign for the DEM
ocratic party that so many prominent
Democrats, OF the best class OF citizens,
are able to enter their State Capitol with
out feeling that they were entering the
abode of an enemy. "Have not been IN
this room for years." is a COMMON re-
mark in the Governors office.
One of the ''hits' Of the Raleigh

good deal of it brewing the past month,
