In the sir -bOlcI
Raleigh. Nov. 26.-There is as
imuch difference between the Uzzeli
and Null reports Of a gathering OF
Legislators from the northeast as
there is between the British and
German accounts OF the same air
raids.
Say those who support Null for
the House SpeakerShip: Fourteen
legislators from the northeast re-
Gently held 4 session at which it
was determined that nine Of them
will back OduS Null for the speak
erShip. That report is said to have
been given TO an Elizabeth City
newspaper man by the legislator
who presided.
Say those who are for George
UZzell for the Speakership: Fourteen
legislators from the northeast re-
Gently held session at which it was
determined that eleven are for W.
Zell for speaker and three for Null.
The only reason these figures didn't
become publicly known is that the
presiding legislator, who happened
to be one Of the Null trio, refused
to put it to a vote.
Those are the conflicting reports
Vi the same one meeting.
Carl Barefoot, statiStician of the
Highway Safety Division, and Keith
Sanders, publicity man for the di-
vision, held big safety meeting in
iRobbinSville.
Keith says the presiding officer,
with a perfectly straight face and
apparently convinced Of his accuracy,
introduced the figure liend as Carl
Bearcat'; while Mr.. Barefoot HIM
self tells of the chap who told him:
I"Itll be easy for me TO remember

this corner doubts if even Ripley
can better by much.
For thirteen years, Mrs. ". l..
Williams has been trading regularly
I (practically daily with the Cutler
Street Grocery, located less than
two blocks away. In all that time
she has been inside tic store only
twice and has never seen the pro-
prietor, Melvin Kirk, who happened
to be out both times that she came
in. !
Mrs. Williams phones her orders
daily and pays the delivery boy
weekly; thus making it unnecessary
to visit the store, which is one OF
the best of the neighborhood' gro
ceries and which almost every morn
ing looks like a club-there are 50
many ladies gathered for bit OF
gossip as we'll as for trading pur-
poses.
