This represents a daily aver age of 52 deaths and 5,660 Injuries! There is a brigh* side to the picture at , that, however, according to these statis tics, for the rate of increase in deaths and accidents in 1924 over 1924 was not as : great as the increase in 1923 over 1922. , • The rate of increase in the number of 1 deaths jn 1923 over figures for 1922 was , 20 per cent, while the increase in 1924 over 1923 was ony four per cent. This . reduction was attributed to organized . campaigns'-to reduce accidents. These figures are somewhat encourag- ( ing to be sure, for although the total . deaths and injuries in 1924 were the . greatest recorded it must be remembered that the number of automobiles ,in use , during the year also was greater than at , any other time in the history of the world. A comparison of the automobile death rate with the number of cars registered show! a steady'decrease, the bureau j ported* In 1915 the number of deaths for every 10,000 automobile was ’2>|, according to the bureau figures each suc ceeding year showing a decrease until the figures for 1924 indicate only 9.6 deaths for every 10,(100 cars. 1 ' There are now 17,000,000 cars registered jn th* United States. There is another encouraging feature in the bureau’s report—grade crossing accidents took a toll of 1,688 deaths in 1924, a decraese of 71 from the 1923 to tal. ■ ' But despite the improvement In condi tions the auto Ib still the most- deadly mechanical enemy of human fife. Since 1908 the death, rate due to motor car ac cidents has increased steadily until today automobiles cause more deaths than all other vehicles, including trains and street cars combined. WE DID WELL TO AVOID W. There was some support among mem bers of the last session of the North Caro lina Legislature for a sales tax, but it is well that this means of raising revenue was not adopted. It hurts business throughout - the Btate, as is shown from experiences of South Carolina druggists.,. ( That state adopted a sales tax two years ago and increasing the scope of its in fluence at the last session this year and ns a result many South Carolina people are coming to this State now for their purchase of goods on which there is j a sales lax in their native State. Sonth Carolina newspapers find that people of that State not only are order ing goods by mail from North Carolina, but that in some instances they are driv ing to thin State for die goods. The Greenville, S. C., Piedmont has made a survey of the situation and from a Hen dersonville druggist received this report: “We have many calls for cigarettes; and cosmetics from members of automobile parties from South Carolus. The men buy the cigarettes by the carton, often k explaining the supply they are getting will last them until the ‘next shopping II I gg—g——g——— i ..■■Win in a— BY CHARLES P.

If -fcey can get it through Congress, (way hope trip,’ and the women of such parties sup ply themselves with cosmetics, with sly winks at their men folks.” The Colum bia Record has much to say of the situa tion, stating editorially that “South Car olina's blundering tax law taxes most of the people have and often turns us over to'citizens of another State to be further trimmed at the expense of the business goose in our own State.” Every time the legislature meets and the need of finances comes up some solon gets up and starts an agitation for the sales tax. We wifi do well to profit from the experience of South Carolina in this matter and let such a tax alone. CHANCE TO STOP CRITICISM. Siiecial counsel for' the government is going to try to get more indictments what the people nave and ‘then often turns the oil reserves or (he United States. The first indictments were thrown out of court, bnt government counsel was ready to appear before another grand jury with another plan of approach. When the first indictments were thrown out there was a general chorus of “I told you so” from all parts of the world. The indictments were thrown out on a technicality and of course there were thousands of persons who saw a frame-up in the whole thing. ‘'Money al ways gets free,” some said, while others expressed opinions amounting to the same thing. The government will have an opportun us over to citizens of another State to be presenting the new evidence before the grand jury. If new indictments are se- .

MORRISON IS ' - j CHAIRMAN FOR THIS STATE Os Hie Committee' for the Distribution of the Memorial Hair Dollars. •Atlanta. y Oa.. Mar A.—The appoint ment at, Cameron Morrison, former Gov ernor, ns Chairman for North Carolina , in the nation-wide distribution of Con federate Memorial Half Dollars, minted bv the United State* government in j “honor of the valor of the Southern ! soldier,” was announced today /by Harvey J. Hill, Director General, of the coin distribution. Under the direction of Mr. Morrison a state-wide organization reaching into every county will be created, having as its object the p’ncing of one or more of. the Memorial coins in every family. Owing to the fact that there are only $2,500,000 coins of a special Confederate issue available, it has been necessary. Director General Hill announced, to make official allotments to each -state based on ijopulation. The demand for the coins reaching national headquart ers already indicate a large over sub scription of the issue. Distribution, therefore, is to be made on the basis of coin certificates redeemnb'e on July 3rd at: commercial banks tbroughortt the Sonth for the actual coins. Prior to that date coin certificates arc being sold through commercial banks nnd through volunteer sales organizn lions organized in- various communities. With the appointment of Mr. Morri oqn in North 'Carolina popular organiza tion in all states east Os the Mississippi River hns now been effected, Mr. Hill declared. The organization erected in’ each Rtate h-ve ji quasi-official status, since state chairmen in each instance have been appointed by the governors, who have taken a deep personal interest in making the coin distribution the great est patriotic dmonstration that has taken place in the Sonth since the war.

A colored convict had received a Bible fro mthe chaplain, but the very next daj was haled into the. prison’s own court charged with petty thievery. “How does this happen?" asked the chaplain sternly. “I jhst sent' you s book in which there is a commandment ‘Thou shalt not steal.’ Didn’t you re ceive it?” “Yassuh, yassuh,” replied the negro, “but Ah ain’t had time to git dat fur yet.” t His Conscience Ruled Him. One of the witnesses at a royal com mission appointed to inquire into a cast of alleged briberby in an election stated that he had received twenty-five dollar.' to vote, Conservative, and in cross-ex amination it was elicited that lie ha( also received .$25 to vote Liberal. Mr. Justice Matthew, in amazement repented: “You say you received $25 to votf Conservative?” “Yes, my lord.” “And you also received $25 to vote Liberal?” - __ —1—.... , “Yes. my lord.” “And for whom did yon vote at tlw finish?” asked the astonished Judge throwing himself back in the chair. And the witness, with injured dignitj in every line of his face, answered with great earnestness: “I voted, my lord, according to mj conscience!” The Norfolk Southern. Charlotte Observer. Ever since the Norfolk Southern plowed its way into the heart of Char lotte and the pulsations of ijs engine: could be heard in the City Hall- Thr Observer has maintained! that there is a great future before that road. It has passed through several periods o f financial perplexities, but it has been de veloping all the time, having been for tunate in management, by comppten 1 hands. The Norfolk Southern has now pahsed under new control. Marsden Perry, of New York, has been its practical owner, but Mr. Perry has sold hid holdings to interests represented by Ernest Williams, who was previously a large holder of Norfolk Southern stock and who, with his new block, become: controller of the property. That he sees a fine' future for this railroad is indicat ed in his flat statement that the road is not for sale, at least not “for several years,” for he will devote his money and energy to its further development. It has been generally understood that the Seaboard Air Line wants the Nor folk Southern. Every once in a while we hear that Mr. James B. Duke wants to incorporate it into his Piedmont & Northern system, but this, evidently, is not going to be until Williams is in position to drive a good bargain.
