And So To Bed

The dean of Lumberton
attorneys, a distinguished
member of the renowned
Robson County Bar, has
that happy faculty of a sue
cessful lawyer - ability to
win a decision from either
side of the fence.
Known in the old days for
his able support of campaigns
under the banner of the Anti
Saloon League, and more re-
Gently as counsel for one Of
the better known dry lob
bies at Raleigh, the dean was
recently put on the spot
when some Florida party in
terested financially in a $751;
600 cargo Of liquor impound-
ed in LumbertOn for lack
of proper Identification
papers, requested the deans
firm to represent them in a
suit over illegal possession and
transportation pending in
Robson Superior Court.
Embarrassed not one whit
by the nature of the cargo,
the dean led a brilliant and
successful argument against
the state solicitor and by
masterful legal maneuvering
achieved what has been
konwn to the county bar as =
ISOLATION as a Friday after
noon mol pros" which q.
Onerated the two drivers and
what is more important freed
the impounded truck and its
