j. Bis Ray of Huntsville, Yancy cOun-
ty, ~ c., who is now presiding over
GastCn county superior court. The
citizen was talking about the judge to
Views and Interviews up at Gastonia,
last Tuesday.
Views and Interviews learned that
Judge Ray had given an example of his
hard boi'edness" to court spectators
Tuesday morning when he ordered
some twenty or more of them who
were standing up in the court room to
come before him and told them that
they had to sit down in his court room
or else get out.
Judge Ray did not take into con-
sideration the fact that the seats in
the court room were all taken and
and the spectators had to stand up.
Views and Interviews himself came
near to being "bawled out" by the hard
boiled one Tuesday afternoon.
Having business in Gastonia, the
newspaper man accompanied by a
friend, dropped into the Castor county
court room tuesday afternoon. Every
seat was taken and seeing a man
sitting on one of the radiators on the
side aisle on the right, the newspaper
man and his friend also took { Vcrch
there
In about a minute Deputy Sheriff
Sans came over and said: You had
better get off that radiator because the
judge is liable to haul you over the
Goals"
Not caring to have a run-in with his
honor, the two South Carolinians left
the court room.
Judge Ray, it was learned, has been
on the North Carolina Superior court
bench for several years. 1t was learn
cd in Gas;onia Tuesday that he was a
locomotive engineer before he became
a lawyer and secured an election to the
superior court bench.
Some of the North Carolina lawyers
like him, it was learned Tuesday and
agreed that he runs the court to his
notion.
The charge that he made to the Gas
ton county grand jury following the
convening Of court this week in which
he called attention to the great crime

as we'll as South Carolina was said to
have been one of tho most powerful
