By the Associated Press

Raleigh, Jan. 1—Simie O’Neal of Ocracoke, who is scheduled to be named assistant doorkeeper of the House when the North Carolina General Assembly convenes tomorrow, and who has been a famous figure in the stories of the State’s island, arrived in Raleigh tonight.

Mr. O’Neal stated he knows “all the boys on the coast from New York to Georgia” and that he’s going back to his hunting and fishing grounds to meet many of them as soon as the Legislature adjourns.
