Hon. George Rountree

Mr.. Howard a. Banks has the follow
ing reference to New Hanover's repre-
sentative in his report of the impeach-
ment proceeding for the Charlotte OBJ
server:
1.-THE New Hanover member of the
board of managers has a very attrac-
tive personality. He continually
lounges in his seat, wrapped in atten-
t~iveness. He never uses his eyes in
listening, but keeps them fixed upon
the ceiling, as his hea hangs back
over the back of his chair. I saw them
fire an enfilade volley into the galleries
once, though. In spite of his lounging
habit, he is up and out like a flash
when he wishes to confer with a broth
er manager.
THAT index finger of his, which so
fired Justice Montgomery with indig-
nation, is ever in use. He shakes it
at Cy Watson sometimes in conferences
over methods of procedure. 1t reminds
one of Dickens Mr.. Jaggers, who, in
Old Bailey, so effectively unsheathed
his soap scented index finger and drew
it upon the witness on the other side.
Mr.. Rountree's long hands are always
in action, not only when he argues, but
also when he lounges back and listens.
Rountree is a coming man."
