RESIGNS IN ALAMANCE

Burlington, July 3l.-F. N. Long,
superintendent of the Alamance
county prison camp for the past six
years, today announced his resigna-
ton from the post effective July 81.
Long gave no reason for the re

like to get into some other type of
business" He said he had several
things in mind at present but as yet
had not fully decided on future plans.
The superintendent has been an
emplovee of the penal division for
approximately nine years, the last
six of which had been spent in his
present capacity.
The camp over which he had
charge, first occupied in June OF last
wear. is considered to be one Of the
most modern in this section Of the
state. Prior to last June Long had
charge of the camp near the county
home on Highway SO.

There was connection, though, at

Alderman sisters lived. Neighbors,
who probably never had spoken to
