I admit snow does mak inis is the Law hi ! By ROBERT E. LEE (For the N. C. Bar Association) TRAFFIC CASES What percentage of the crimi nal cases in the courts of North Carolina involve motor vehicles? There is a heavy flow of traf fic cases through the court sys tem of this State, North Carolina has a mobile population. Motor vehicles are creating a congestion not only on our highways but also in our courts. Findings of a court study com mittee of the North Carolina Bar Association show that nearly one third of all criminal cases in the Superior Court and nearly two thirds of all cases in the inferior courts—twice as many as all oth er criminal cases combined—were motor vehicle cases. In some Superior Cqurts more than one-half of all cases disposed of involved traffic offenses, and in some inferior courts more than 90 per cent of all cases were traf fic cases. This large number of traffic cases in the courts has had a pro -1 found effect upon the court sys tem, and has led to the adoption of many devices andtechniques to dispose of these cases. Each of the inferior courts has 1 a pretty picture. A Christmas I card without a touch of snow I seems oddi as all tradition links the Yule-tide season wi'Vi snow But, nevertheless, the pretty white flakes are killers, they dis rupt all maniier bf transportation, bring many hardships and cause many deaths. Its beauty and loveliness is discounted by ail the misery and death it brings, and when it is dying and crawling away in gutters and ditches, what is uglier? Despite its siren call of esthetic values, snow cannot coerce or seduce me to worship at its shrine. Yon can’t trust Russia. its own system of disposing of mo | tor vehicle cases, dc.-'gned by lo | cal officials to meci current local I needs, and there is little unifor-l j mity and often little similarity in j I the treatment of the motorist and i the procedures used. ; What is the nature of the moto-: vehicle cases tried in the courts? In the Superior Courts one out of every eight cases is a arunk driving case. Speeding offenses account for 7 per cent of the total criminal cases and reckless div ing cases are 4 per cent of the! total. | In the inferior courts 3.5 of thei i total criminal cases are drunk | driving cases. Speeding accounts I for 27 per cent of the total crimi- ■ nal cases in the lower courts, with I reckless driving 4 per cent. What percentage of the motor j vehicle cases in the Superio: | Court get there on appeal from a ; lower court? About 53% of the motor vehicle! cases in the Superior Court come i there on appeal from the lower courts. Who is the compla ihent or "pci” son responsible for the bringing! of motor vehicle cases in the in- j ferior courts? An analysis of the motor vehicle cases in the interior courts indi cates that the complainent was a! notice!*! j To Chowan County j TAXPAYERS Ihe Tax Books for the year 1958 are I I now in my hands for the collection of | taxes. We urge you to pay your taxes j now and avoid the penalty which will I begin on February 1. } A PENALTY OF 1% WILL BE ADDED ON 1958 TAXES NOT PAID BEFORE FEBRUARY 2. AN- I OTHER 1% WILL BE ADDED MARCH 2 AND AN ADDITIONAL % OF 1% WILL BE ADDED FOR EACH ADDITIONAL MONTH TAXES ARE UNPAID. | ANY TAXPAYER WHO CANNOT j PAY HIS OR HER TAXES IN ONE l PAYMENT CAN MAKE PARTIAL j PAYMENTS UNTIL PAID. YOUR CO- 4 OPERATION WILL BE GREATLY l ’ APPRECIATED. | i M. EARL GOODWIN j SHERIFF OF CHOWAN COUNTY X 9 N state highway patrolman in 52 per cent of the cases, a municipal po liceman in 40% of the cases, a member of the county police in 3% of the cases, a sheriff or depu ty 1 sheriff in 1 per cent of the cases, a private individual in less than 1 per cent of the cases, etc. 1 To what extent do the defend- \ ants in traffic cases never appear in court? In 29 per cent of the motor ve- j hide cases in the inferior courts; the defendants waive their ap pearances or post a cash bond and j then forfeit it. The inferior courts have devis- \ ed systems of waiver of appear-; ance in an effort to dispose of. the heavy flow of trrafic cases , through their courts. The legality of many of these systems of ap pearance has been questioned Nevertheless, the'inferior courts are continuing to use them.

IAWRENCIIURO, KENTUCKY we have the Bible today. Every thing that could be done by its clever, enemy, Satan a-’ his treacherous manipulate, of re-J ligion, so-called-scienct, history, l philosophy, “reason”, and art has I ! been used to stamp out the Bible.: j He raised up men like the leaders of the Roman Empire, the wicked. | religious leaders of the Middle j Ages, and many others to fight ! against the Bible. Every state- 1 ment, every sentence, every word i has been tested to the limit. In i one century 150,000 of the finest Christians who ever lived were ! butchered because they believed and loved the Bible. For eighteen long centuries every satanic pow er known has been directed • against it to blot it from the face of the earth, but this very minute it is falling from the presses like j autumn leaves. Voltaire said that 1 one-hundred years after his death the Bible would be a forgotten hook, to be found only in mu ! ?“Ums. Voltaire died in 1773 The very house where he lived is today packed with Bibles, for it is the depot for tne Geneva Bi ble Society. For all that modern day demons like Voltaire, Boling broke, Hume and others have! done to discredit the Bible has 1 been to no avail. The British and American Bible Societies j alone put out a Bible every five j j seconds, 750 every 17,280: 1 each day, and an estimated ten ! million copies a year in over s'x ihundred different languages. Over all that Satan and his fol- I i lowers could possibly do, it is still here today, live and powerful (Hebrews 4:12). We read in Psalm 2:2-4: “But He that sit teth in his silent heaven laughed; Jehovah had them in derision.” They have found that God fights an unlosing battle. The Bible is still the enemy of sin, and, of , course, will be fought by the sin -1 ful. Even today me infidel col lege professor and the modernist in the pulpit arc attacking it with i new weapons and new sly tricks —but it will endure as it has. “Heaven and earth will pass awav. but my Word shall not pass ; away.” The Bible itself proves that it is real. What book could be writ ten by at least forty different au thors, in three different languag es. ranging over a period bf 1600 years, that could be so perfect in harmony and agreement as the ;i Bible? Behind all th?se authors wa--. One Great Author who knew What He wanted, for man could never have achieved such perf-w-, tion. Surely we cannot help b”t confess it is God-written, and it is ‘nw. Also, take the Bible for its bt --v-jrv value. .Cemnaro it, w : t'\ *'■»« 'heap, nasty, filthy trash that is ■old in anv local bookstore today and see how it shines mire aprt radiant before men—a"d all this! smut that is being printed falls! away before its glory and truth, j The Bible contains the greatest! ’ ! terature ever known to man.} Tie Psalms, the .storv of Ruth, the New Testament, the beautiful ae eount of Creation, and the exact! historv renorts it gives. Think of the morals the nastv aapv’es and nastier hooks '0rt.,... -e.) r omoo re them if von must with the Bible. A great dif ference.
