ment, contained last week the photo
graphs and a short sketch Of its editor

our former townsman, is editor,
secretary and one of the stockholders. -"
Rocky Mount Motor.
Then follows a short sketch of the
''secretary of the the Company and
editor of the Department NeWs." But
it is not complete. Brief as has been
the vicarious career of the editor of
the Department NeWs, there are many
more little episodes in the mysterious
mutations through which he has
passed than mention is made Of. No
reference whatever is made to his
career in Henderson several years ago
as a so-called gold mine 'promoter'
and syndicate attorney; his accom-
plishments as bogus draft manipu-
lator, false pretender, fraud and
svindler; of his run for life in mad
race with avenging bullets, and his
hasty departure between suns, leaving
numerous unpaid debts, board bills,
etc, behind him. And without this
no ''sketch'' of George p. Hart would
be complete.
