White Man Exonerated
In Automobile Fatality
Another motor smash fatality oc
curred in the county last Thursday
night when Bill Coffleld, Negro, was
the victim of a three car smash on
the Virginia Highway just south of j
Evans Church. Coffleld died three |
hours after the accident in the Albe
marle hospital, Elizabeth City. His
head had been crushed in and he ad
ditionally suffered a broken leg and
arm.
On Friday morning with a contin
uation into the next day Coroner M.
P. Whichard conducted an inquest
into the cause of the catastrophe.
Judson B. Schleifer, of Miami, Fla.,
driver of an advertising circus truck j
which was one of the vehicles figur
ing in the road mishap, and who was
hurt about the forehead and hand,
had been held by the authorities.
The inquest exhonerated him of all
blame, however.
According to Corporal George
Dail, home from the Fort Raleigh
celebration for a few hours Thurs
day night, Schleifer and Coffleld
were coming south on the highway.
One vehicle tried to pass the other,
and both turned over, the Coffleld
car being completely torn asunder
and wrecked. In the meantime Ar
thur G. Byrum, of the Ryland sec
tion, came from the direction of his
home and in the rain and darkness
crashed into the two overturned
cars. Fortunately he was unhurt
but his car was badly damaged.
A large crowd of Edentonians were
attracted to the scene out of curios
ity and saw Coffleld sent on hurriedly
to Dr. J. A. Powell’s office, where it
was found nothing could be done for
the injured man, and he was sent to
. Elizabeth City where he soon died.

IT’S POSSIBLE TO “FARM
THE LAND AND KEEP IT TOO”
In contradiction to an old saying—
‘•you can’t have your cake and eat it
too”—the Soil Conservation Service
points to thousands of good farmers
who “farm their land and keep ! t
too.”
Along with other units of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
the Soil Conservation Service finds
increasing evidence that properly
farmed—there is plenty of land to
grow even more than the Nation
needs, and yet maintain fertility,
control erosion, and maintain game
birds and other wildlife disappearing
from farm lands.
There are increasing reports to
the Department that complete subju
gation of the land is not necessari
ly good farming and that “clean”
farming on sloping lands with rec
tangular fields, straight rows, no
strip cropping, fences parallel to
section lines and no shrubs, trees, or
permanent pasture, is a sure way to
“farm your land and lose it too.”
