WHITEVILL, June II - Some
OF the shenanigans of a man &C
cused of the fanciest ncrs--.rading
ever known in this section will
come to light in Superior Court
here this week when Lawrence j.
Hayes goes IN trial.
Hayes allegedly gave up 81, $50
to a man neac Carthage for a
truck, a team of mules and a
team of horses. At least, police
said he gave up a check for that
amount. The Carthage man was
lulled into acceptance of the check
by the purchasers readiness to
take only team and the truck.
Columbus county got into the
picture when the horses were
taken to Tabor City and one OF
them sold to A. B. jackson for
SIS. 90. Hayes accepted half-pay-
ment and said he would return
to collect the remainder. The
other horse was left with Roam
oke Strickland in the Cherry
Grove section, but there was no
sale.
A few days later, Hayes return
ed to Columbus after visiting the
Loris, S. C. section where he is
accused Of buying a good team
Of mules from Don Curry and Civ
ing him a check and a mortgage
totaling $1,000. In Tabor City,
HAYES traded the mules to Nathan
Wilson for a team of horses and
$500, collecting $275. He left the
horses, but he eve came back
to collect the extra $l25 Or to
get the animals.

SOUTHPORT, June II "Ano

nolds Of Shallotte tells us that the
old letter stump neal Cause Land
ing is still there. IN fact. he says
that if is more of a stump then
aver. Speaking in an understand
Ing way, this means that there
IL less of the stump than ever,
thereby making it more OF a
stump. ,,
The Letter Stump, you should
know. goes back both beyond and
since the war between the states.
It was two ways from that tune
and mail riders, on a sWayoach
mare or by chance having a Wag
On, COMMITTED between Whining
ton and Georgetown, S. c., week
". They stopped at various cross
roads corner postoffices picking
IN and delivering mail and where
these offices were wide apart they
sometimes stopped at other
places.
One of these other places was
the old Letter Stump near Cause
Landing. In it's day the stump had
been a great pine tree, manlp-
ulations of the turpentine industry,
age and fire had created a great
hole in it at about the height OF
4 mans waist. The Letter Stump
was not then a stump in the truest
sense of the word, it was still a
tree with a nice receptacle IN
which admirers Of ladies VINO
lived in distant parts could leave
their messages for the mail riders
on the Georgetown Road to PICK
up and start on the way. In time
too, the faithful mail riders would
probably bring back the reply,
which may have read something
like:
''As sure as the vine grows
around the stump,
l am your own dear sugar
lump"
The Letter Stump with its yawn-
ing hole, sheltering messages to
near and distan. parts, again shell
tering the answers left by the
mail riders to be called for, PROB
ably held many a story OF heart
ache and Joy during the many
years it was a receptacle for the
mail. But 1t could not go on for
ever. The mail riders gave way
to the iron horse and the long
way around became the quickest
way home for letters between
Georgetown and Wilmington.

Dirksen Sees Firings
OF Customs Patrols
Inspired by Treasury
By the Assoeiofsd Press

Representative Dirksen, Repub-
lican, of Illinois, today charged that
conditional firing notices sent by
the Treasury to antismuggling
patrols along the Canadian border
were inspired
The department also announced
plans to curtail patrols at other
points if budget cuts ordered by
the House are allowed to stand.
But, Mr.. Dirksen. a chief pro-
ponent of the $4,000 900 slash in
Treasury funds voted by the House
earlier this month, said he COM
sidersa as "exaggerated' Treasury
estimates of how deep the per-
sonnet cuts will have to be.
As for the word that some border
patrolmen already have been given
tentative dismissal notices, the Illi-
nois lawmaker added: ...-
II think the inspiration comes
from within the department.
However, Walter E. Mackay, dis
trict superintendent of the customs
border control, said in Buffalo, N. Y,
yesterday that the United States
Candian border would be wide
open" by the end of the week un-
less more funds are granted by
Congress. ,..
He said his district, which has $50
men in patrol work. "is going to be
liquidated" He said a "cut-back"
already has started.
Treasury officials said reductions,
though not so deep as along the
Canadian border. must extend to-
other custom patrol operations
such as those along the Mexican
border, unless funds are restored.
They said other Treasury agencies
principally affected by the cuts
the Internal Revenue Enforcement
branch, Coast Guard and Secret
Service-also are preparing dismiss
sal programs.
The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee starts hearings Thursday on
the Treasury and Post Once De-
partment appropriations bills Mr..
Dirksen told a reporter he believes
the Treasury announcement of re-
ductions was timed with that in
mind
Treasury officials have estimated
that about 1900 employs must be
fired from the customs enforcement
branch If the House appropriation is
not increased. They said customs
operations at ports of entry will be
kept as nearly as possible on the
present basis.
