A Law to Save Lives.
The General Assembly of Norlh
Carolina has done the sane and
commendable thing -in passing" an
act. effective July 1, 1923, ' requir
injf every person operating a motor
vehicle on the public roads of this
State to come to a full stop at a
distance not exceeding fifty feet
from the nearest Jail of any rail
way track dossing the public road
at grade.
Drivers of automobiles and
trucks should not oonsller the
provisions of this act'as a hard
ship on them but a9 an effort on
the part, of the State to save them
fromi injury and death. Official
reports of the Interstate Commerce
Commission show that in 1921
there were "6,387 person"? killed or
injured in automobile accidents at
grade crossings with railways In
tbe last five years, 9.101 persons
have been killed in such accidents
in the United States North' Car
olina has contribnted more than
her full share to the list of victims
Violation of this law will con
jtitute a misdemeanor, punishable
by fine or imprisonment. , We do
not see why any person should
violate a law passed for his pro
tection, We beiieve that bbscr
vance of this law will save many
lives and commend it to our
readers.
The railways have been re
quired to go to heavy , expense to
erect signs forty by fifty inches 100
feet from crossing1?, lettered "X
C .LAW STOP." When you set
that sign, obey its "injunction and
protect yourself and those with
you. '.'.
A Word of Appreciation.

Editor News-Record:- I have
been very much delighted with the
kind words said about me in your
t paper by its Editor Dr. Finley, he
too has been a great asset to Mad
ison County along educational lines
as well as other progressive moves
' Dr. Finley has been gentle and
kind to all and has extended
kind hand to every move or the
up lift of the people. Some years
ago te came to me and said that
v he did not see that his people were
needed any longer as a school fac
tor in the -county as the county
baa con e into it own oy organiz
ing a good school system , for the
whole1- county that they (his
. church) had several good school
bouses- he would sell us. The
Board. of Education bought the
school bouses at a very reasonable
price and we are now using those
houses;, not only did Dr. Finley do
this but, he has ever encouraged
the. public schools in every possible
: way;' He is our county auditor
and how valuable it is to ' have a
nan who is cousistent ' in every
way lo audit our county books and
to fjibw how our finances are and
to show1 how every department of
the founty stands, it . has been a
common saying that our money
ha been stolen or squandered, but
now any person by calling on Dr,
Finley can find where every dollar
of ou, money has gone an i that
none ef our money has been stolen
or squandered and this is a biisl
ness Way io run anj- county and
the county1 has been fortunate to
get aV nian to audit ' its accounts so
that "the' world -may' know how it
stands financially. Madison county
is composed of many ood men
and women, honest and truthful
and with the honest men and
. women to manage our Sunday
schools 'and churches there is a
bright future for our people and
some day we all wili ee,l proud of
our eo..nty and that we owe a
debt Vif gratitude, to Dr. Finley,
that I am sure the people will pay
in kind reception his interesting
J bor for the nplif t of our people
