Entered as second-class mail matter at the Postoffice at Plymouth, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1887. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 1927 Accidents Attributed to Carelesness Just at this time of the year hundreds of people are motoring to various sections of the country’ and newspapers carry almost daily stones of automobile accidents. Many of these prove fatal to the automobilist and especially so when light cars allow themselves to be wrecked by locomotives. There is a joke going the rounds that goes something like this; “Two men were riding in a fast automobile and a few hundred yards from a railroads crossing spied a speeding train, “First driver; I bet a hundred dollars we can beat the train to the crossing.” “Second driver; 'I don't want to bet on the train I don't care who wins just so it isn't a tie " Worse yet. is a person who operates an automobile under the influence of whiskey. A drunken driver jeopardizes the life and limb of the pedestrians and sober drivers. Just a little care will save life and property. Automobiles accidents are not the only results of carelessness but it is fool hardy not to be careful a round all kinds of machinery, cars or railroads. The cemetery population is rapidly being increased because of such human carelessness. Carelessness is courting death and unless you really w'ant to com mit suicide, please watch your step. | NOTES AND COMMENTS f Luck is a trump card played by feel. Poor men and poor umbrellas generally get left. Lots of men are failures because they never attempt anything. Instead of regretting yesterday get busy and prepare for tomorrow. Even if a man's good deeds live after him, he isn’t in a position to care. You can t convince a self-made man that he gave himself the worse of it. One way to put money into cir culation is to take it to the race track. Some men will stand up for the fair sex everywhere—except in a street car. When a man is going to the dogs he usually meets the dogs about half way. It takes an accompliced liar to hand a woman satisfactory com pliments. Weigh some people and they will be found wanting in everything except weight. A manicure artist who could als )lish ,men's brains would fill f<?lt want. When a man keeps his wife le dark, he shouldn't expect hi t4? make light of it. _ If a young man sows wild oats mixed with old rye he is reasonably sure to raise a disturbance. It's surprising how many things a girl can learn at a boarding school that will never be any use to her. Love sometimes sneaks out of the window without waiting for fKsverty to come in u the door. 32 Years Ago —IN— W ashington} County Items gathered from issue of The Roanoke Beacon published Friday, September 27, 1895 Mr M.
