ANOTHER SCOTT +. Another
Scott is rising on the agricultural
horizon. He is Robert Scott, son of
u. S. Senator w. Kerr Scott.
Recognized as one of the out
standing young farmers of the
Piedmont last year, young Scott
is giving new sparkle to the State
Grange as special assistant to
Grange Master Harry B. Caldwell.
Bob's father was Master of the
Grange in North Carolina about %
years ago.
THE LAST WILL Our
friend Harry Golden tells of a
neighbor of his who years ago was
turned down by charming young
lady. He never married and neither
did he forgive the lady for this
Illustration of his desire and insult
to his ego.
Eventually he got even by leav-
ing her all his money.
Her husband would have shot
him dead of course, but he was
already dead. The will stated plain
ly that the bequest was a form of
Preparations" to the husband for
having given his name to another
mans child.
Although the son, Joe Bloke, Jr.,
looked exactly like Joe Bloke, ST.,
and no one had any reason what
ever to believe the lady had stray
ed from the straight and narrow,
the whole thing caused a lot of
trouble. When the will was pro-
,bated, the estate was found to
consist of a pair of silver-plated
cufflinks and a block of stock in
IA company organized to dredge up
Captain Kidd's treasure from the
South Pacific.
Harry says the jerk who wrote
the will did not actually succeed
in breaking up a happy marriage,
but the husband and wife have
been distant to this very day.
NEW LEADER Although
he has told friends he is not seek
ing the place, new head of the
Farm Bureau in North Carolina
will be Alonzo Edwards of Hooker
ton, who ran unsuccessfully for 1t.
Governor in 1856.
A former legislator and very
popular man throughout the State,
Edwards is expected to make a
statement divorcing himself from
any future political ambitions be-
fore getting the appointment to
the place left vacant by Flake
Shaw's death few weeks ago.
BAPTIST BREAK? The talk
here in restaurants and hotel
rooms toward the end of the State
Baptist Convention showed fear
that the conservative and liberal
misunderstanding the fundamen-
tahsts and the others-may splin-
ter off from each other.
There were great differences of
opinion among these two general
groups on virtually all matters
throughout the meeting.
But we doubt there is enough
organized cohesion in either camp
for it to split off to itself-for
some long time yet.
CAN l WATCH These little
tikes watch television so much
that little thing like robbery be-
comes part of their daily living.
Anyway, those money-haulers,
Drinks Inc, had their ominous
looking armored truck pulled up in
front of a bank here last Thursday.
Two men, as is their custom, stood
with drawn guns, while another
made the cash deliveries.
This mother was leading her
little four-year-older along. He
wasn't missing a thing. Just as
they reached the bank, he ran over
to one of the gun-holding Brink
sters, pulled at his trouser leg, and
said:
Mister, if you all are gonna
rob this bank, can / watch?"
