against ex-Postmaster Exum, OF Ben
SON. was taken UP. He is charged with
embezzling 500. The conviction OF ex-
Postmaster ]. T. Corbett. of Selma, was
no surprise. A government official SAYS
he thinks Corbett risked the thefts on
the belief that Haley. his assistant

blame; in other words. tina the Jury
would believe him rather than Haley.

ance. John c. Angler, manager of the
company says the plant will be rebuilt
at Cary.
E. G. Hilyer Or Newport News, is now

the city The plant is to develop 500
horse power.
Audltor Dixon says the soldiers home

Governor Aycock arrived last night
from the state university. He has
made many speeches this year; almost
all of them in the interest of public ed
ucation.
Your correspondent went out to the
Agricultural and Mechanical college
