moral turpitude or the taking of a bride
or other consideration on the part Of the
directors who made the lease.
There was never anything further
from the truth-a more mistaken idea.
The people of North Carolina do not be-
lieve such men as composed the director

a bride, and the State will not under
take to prove that they did or would
But it does expect to prove, and it
