WARRENTON BOND
HEARING IS HERE:
Register of Deeds 5000
Surety to Be Argued on
An Injunction

hearing is to be had before judge
Henry =. Grady in chambers in Vance
superior Court here Tuesday after
noon, March 2, on the question of the
temporary restraining order to pre-
vent the United States Fidelity &
Guaranty Company of Baltimore from
withdrawing from the bond of Regis
ter of Deeds Joseph c. Powell, of
Warren county, it was learned here
today.
An order was signed cy Judge w.
{. Harris of Raleigh on January 30
making the temporary injunction
granted returnable before Judge
Grady, and was expected to be heard
at Windsor on February II, but Judge
Grady was out of the district on that
date and the hearing was postponed.
Later, agreement was reached be-
tween counsel for the bonding COM
pany, the county and Mr.. Powell to
hold the hearing in Windsor on Feb
ruary 25, but when it was learned
that Judge Grady would be in Hen
derson this week to preside over the
March term of Vance Superior Court.
it was decided to postpone the hear
ing until March and meet in Hen
derson rather than travel to Windsor.
The injunction not only prevents
the bonding company from going off
Mr.. Fowell's bond, but also prohibits
the county commissioners from de-
claring a vacancy in the event Mr..
Powell was unable to post a $4,000
5ond.
1t is claimed that, regardless of
what action Judge Grady takes on the
restraining order, it is not expected
that Mr. Powell will lose his place as
register of deeds any time soon. In
the event the jurist upholds the in
junction. it is believed that Polk and
Gibbs, attorneys for the bonding COM
pany, and Julius Banzet, county at
torn will give notice of appeal. On
the ether hand, it is pointed out,
should Judge Grady dissolve the re-
straining order, it is probable counsel
for Mr. Powell, Charles Katenstein,
of New York; Ed Travis, of Halifax,
and Gholson & Gholson, of Hender-
son, will appeal. If the case is appeal
ed to the Supreme Court, it will not be
heard until September and an opinion
will hardly be handed down before
