That's what hap pened to him the other day. The Rev. Sawyer was called from the office of the Elizabeth City Iron Works & Supply Co. where he is employed as chaplain or bookkeeper or something, asked to go to his home and marry an out-of-town couple. He left his work, trudged home and performed the solemn cere mony. It was near the dinner hour and the good man of God invited the bride and groom to take dinner with him. They did. The grateful groom then tendered his host a check on an out-of-town bank as a fee and an ex pression of his gratitude. A few days later Mr. Sawyer received notice -from the First & Citizens National Bank that the check had been protested and he was called on to pay the protest fees. The camel's back is broken.
