Atdte Law

NEW LAW nc new COQlllCatlOn
of General Ststucs becomes the con-
trolling law OF North Carolina as OF
january |, replacing the old con-
solldated Statutes represented by the
red bibles in every law office for
may years. For time at least
.awyers and others will have to de-
pend upon one volume to the county
of the General ST tutcS. Delay IN
getting paper, other troubles incident
% the war, topped off by several
cases of flu in the printing shop
having the contract 10 produce the
books has delayed distribution.
COURT COPIES-The State de-
partmcnt of justice which was
charged with responsibility for cdi-
ting the copy fer the new edition.
completed That work several months
ago and had hoped To have the full
editions ready for distribution ahead
of January |. Attorney General Nc
Muliian said Friday that during the
week end al least one copy of volume
one would go out to each clerk OF
court in the state. II is hoped 10 have
volume two ready by the middle of
January, TO be followed in few
weeks with volumes three and four
COAlAlON-Voltime one contains
the most generally used l.wS: volume
TWO three statutes of less general
application; volume three deals prin-
cipally with state agencies anG in
situations, while volume four is the
index and has other supplemental
data. With this arrangement McMul-
ian believes that no serious incon-
venience will be accustomed by the
unavoidable delay in publication OF
the work.
SALES-The four volume set will
sell TO lawyers and the public for
S45 with an allowance of about half
that for old copies OF The consolidated
statutes. and sales copies will be
available as soon as distribution to
the officials has been completed.
ANOTIlER-Guilfor county news
papers report that Lee Wilson, So
licitor for the district embracing
Guilford and Davidson counties. has
)CcE called 10 report for army eXami-
nation on january :. They further
predict that Shelley b. Cavcness,
Greensboro attorney and member of
the Legislature. will be named 10
succeed him as solicitor. That creates
lively situation in that il leaves
another vacancy in the legislative
delegation. One OF Guilford'S four
representatives, Tom Turner, is i'm
the army. Clyde Shrcvc is within
draft age. So is Senator ed Hudgins.
If CavcncsS is appointed solicitor
that will leave Only Representative
Robert Mosclcy of the five-man dele
cation in the last session eligible for
recollection without imminent change
of induction into the army.
UNCERTAIN - Mccklenburg, the
only other county with five members
IN the general assembly, is not so
seriously affected since the average
age of the Mecklcrburgcrs is higher.
One member, Frank Sims, showed up
Tor just one day of the last session
and then returned 10 his duties as a
lieutenant in the navy. Marvin Ritch
is candidate for United States
senate. So far as his been indicated
Senator Joe Blythe and Representa-
tivcS McDouglc and Tonnisscn are
eligible for reelection and will be
candidates. But all of this serves TO
emphasize the uncertainty of politi-
cal conditions and the difficulty in
predicting who will run or what the
result OF election will be. The armed
services have Il first mortagc on a
very large number of members of the
legislature. They are entitled Ia de-
Icrmcnt, but few of them care TO ask
for il on that grounds.

made in selling produce on the Rocky
Mount curb market. That was the
fourth story within year about
