August 1st 1923 PARKING LAWS. Automo'^.les have brought about nuuiy changes but probably the most serious is the question of parking. Many a town, like Roxboro, in its early history had no idea that the town would ever be more than a village, but with the coming of the railroad the town took on new life and soon passed the village stage. But it -was then too late to remedy the narrow streets, and thus the town has continued to grow until today we find the town badly laid out. with streets so narrow that two automobiles create a congestion. Now, what to do with the automobile is a serious question. The town authorities have passed innumerable ordinances, most of which have been forgotten in less than a month. Only a short time since there was an ordinance that no au tomobile should park on Main Street I between Court Street and Ream? Ave., or on Depot Street between Main and Hyco warehouse, but today these Btreets are literally filled with them almost at all hours of the day, especially Depot Street. With cars parked on both sides of these streets it is a good driver who can manipulate a car through them without causing damage to his or the other fellow's car. ' It is a knotty problem, for the merchants on Main Street feel that it is a hardship to compel them to load and unload their trucks from the rear, and when they are permitted to park their trucks the general public feels they should have the same privilege. Something will have to be done, but just what that something is we do not know. The City Dads will have to put on their thinki mg caps and whatever they propose, and carry out, will cause them to be roundly abused of course. But as that is part of the emoluments of the office they will not mind a little Vt tntr lilro iJ?ot _, o? ? Soon the schools cf Roxboro and the public school*? cf the County'will open for their fall work, and there is just ore thing we would like to suppest tr the patrons, end that is, "provide your teachers with a pood, comfortable, convenient boarding house. In Roxboro it is almost impossible for a teacher to pet accommodation along this line, and we hear it is little, if any, better in the country. No: teacher can do pood work unless theyj have pood living quarters, for much1 of the work of a successful teacher; is done in their rooms. We extend, sympathy to the family > of the Greensboro News in the death' of Mr. Archie B. Joyner, who was! the advertising manager of the News. Mr. Jovner had been connect-! ed with various departments of the paper and had made good from the1 "bottom to the top. He was not only a splendid, well rounded newsnnnpr' - man, but he was intensely interested. . in the affairs of his city and was \ prominent in every progressive enterprise. Govfmor Morrison has hit below' thb hell again. Mr. Shipman, tho; latest victim of gubernatorial wratli. ia now disporting-himself in the' mountain fastnesses around Brevard.: fcr? ?where the fn'ive tmul holds HW'jfy.

The pairs at President' Harding's illness came as a.shock to the people, ______ ?? - - I of tie Nation, and many have been the prayers offered that this good man may be spared. The reports this 1 morning are encouraging and we sin- , cerely trust his physicians are cor- , rect.in reporting the crisis as having 1 been passed. ! Certainty, the investigating committee found Dr. McBrayer guilty of some minor matters, such as employing too many of his family and doing < too much outside work for extra < pay, uui ine wnuewasning- is com- ' plete. What, a supply of whitewash the State department must keep on hand these days. . The automobilists who figured prominently in Sunday's grade crossing accidents would have saved at least four minutes if they had beat the train across. We join with the distinguished Japanese visitor in wondering What they intended doing with those four minutes. There were at least a dozen or more debates" held Sunday in various parts of the country, the contending parties being- automobiles and locomotives. The question was, who can get across the railroad crossing first. The locomotives won. ?o 1 How many strange faces have you seen down town today t Bach one is a potential customer and will boost business just so much. Q Greeley once told all us young ipen to go west, but he probably wasn't thinking about presidents. FROM ALLENSVILLE. I note with pleasure Mr. Melvin Long's letter in yesterday's News and Observer. Now, so far as Richard knows our Sheriff has never been accused of being a liar and he says he is guilty of none of the charges made ( against him. Now whose word are you going to take, Mr. Long's or the ' words of a certain class of law breakers that are doing all in their power to ruin the reputation of a man who has done more to bust up the moonshine element than all other forces combined, giving Mr. Sam Oli- , ver and Mr. Melvin Clayton credit for being good officers and perhaps the equal of Melvin Long in tunning down the bloc leaders but have not been on the job as long and therefore i:-i?i ? 1- T ?a?c huv o>.t.uiii(iiiBiicu as iiiutu. x think our Commissioners, though 1 god men they are, have made a great mistake in asking Mr. Tong to resign, admitting they had nothing in regard to the matter of his accusa.tio. It is very hard to gain such a reputation as Mr. Long has in trying to carry out the law and rid our County' of a certain element that do not fear God and regard men only when such men as Melvin Long force them to do it. Of course they are going to tell any kind of falsehood to get rid of him. We have not had a Sheriff in my recollection who made such -a fearless effort to carry out the law as Mr. Long has, plying himself in all kinds of dangers for the good of the people he promised to serve. And yet it seems our Commis-icners the very first opportunity they had to injure him haw without even mentioning the matter to him hffve published it to the world through the columns of Tho Courier. The R-xhoro ring must have it in for him like they did in the primary fpr Mr. Cooper Hall. They evidently disliked Hall because he worked faithfully in the interest of the farmers cf thp County and they said no sir, Mr. Hall, you can't gc to th? legislature, Roxboro don't want you and we will'not vote for you and will cause enough such farmers as do net think' for themselves of the County to vote against you to defeat you. Ann so Tney <iui. 1 don't believe when it eomhs to a show down you , will find a man in the County of anv , reputation or character that will ' como out openly and tell- Mr. Long that he, is guilty of the charges made against him and if yon know nothing ] why say so much and try to pull 1 down tW.verv enviable character J which Mr. Long has established and ' ruin the character forever of one of our. leading young women of the County,?
