Christmas Issue yeste'-day, copies of
■vhich were receive 1 here today.
The pa pet said that Mr. Powell,
vho wa? assistant manager of the
Shringhau* campaign before the pri
nary last, summer, “has been closet
'd with the State's next chief execu
tive several times recently, it was
earned today." and that “then* is a
oersistenl rumor around Raleigh that
the Granville man will be given the
place of secretary or some other posi
tion that ranks high."
The Public Ledger said Mr. Powell
would neither confirm nor deny the
statement when questioned by one of
its representatives, and added: "How
ever, there are many reasons to be

pointment from the next governor. He
has been closely associated with the

of private secretary or most any other
appointive place Mr. Ehringhaus
might tender.

coveted position. The secretary is the
right hand man to the governor and
Iteeps his finger on the political pulse
of the State at all time*. Mr. Powell

half of the people of Granville. His

PRISONERS FOILED
IN JAIL BREAKING
Three Men at County Lock-
Up Unable to Work Way
to Freedom
ARE FOUND BY JAILOR
Additional Charge May Be Irxlged
Against Them When Cases Are
Tried at January Term of
Superior Court
By the use of a buggy axle which
supported the stove flue, boards from
a bench, and iron rods which were
torn from a cot. Blair Ayscue. Harry
Lansen, and Walter Clark attempted
a break from the county jail last
night, K. P. Davis, jailer reported to
day. They succeeded. however. in
only bending the jail door.
Jailor Davis found the trio still
trying to break the door this morning
when he went in to serve the prison
ers. their breakfast. He immediately
locked them in separate cells, where
be says they will stay until the next
term of superior court.
Sheriff Hamlett stated today that
charges of attempted jail breaking
v ould probably be added to the other
charges. Lansen and Clark are being
held for the theft of an automobile,
and Ayscue for forgery and car steal
ing.
will be able lo keep in touch with
political leaders here and watch the
interests of Granville."
So certain did the paper appear to
be of the appointment that it speculat-'
od upon the apfointment, which it
said “seems certain," and said the
county commissioners would fill the
vacancy in Granville, "but so far as
could be learned, not one of the com
missioners has committed himself" as
to a choice "should the place become
vacant."
