HELD FOR iHCHER COURT Lumhcrton Woman Bound Over to Court at Witson Under $200 Bond as Result of Accident. The fottowing is taken from the Witson Daity Times of June 30: "Mrs. F. M- Barnes, of Lumberton, was today bound over to Supermr, court by Magistrate W. R. Wood on-} charges of .reckless driving and, as-! sauit with a dcadty weapon under, $200 bond. The charges are the re sult of an accident last October in ! Btack Creek township in which tittte j George Howard was injured when a; car driven by Mrs. Barnes collided with his pony. "The warrant charging Mrs. Barnes with speeding and reckiess driving on the pubti' highway was amended j by Magistrate Wood to include as sautt with a deadly weapon after hearing the evidence in the case this morning." The Itobesonian regrets that an in- I justice was done Mrs. Barnes in the item reproduced in last M nday's pa per. a dispatch from Wilson to the Urecnsboro Daily News, which may have left the impression on the minds j of some people that Mrs. Barnes had tried to evade the officers, which was not the case. A warrant charging reckless driving was served on Mrs. Barnes at her home here through the office of Sheriff McMillan and bond was made tor her appearance for trial at Wilson. The accident occurr ed tast November, instead of October, and is said to have been unavoidable.' -,-' Storms and Heat Wares Take Toll of hues and i'roperty.

Violation Highway Law A Most Serious Crime States Judge Midyette Can't Ride in Sense of Security Says Judge in Charge to Grand Jury— Asks for Enforcement of Liquor Laws. DRUNKEN BRiYERS A MENACE "One of the most dangerous and most criming! violations of the daw is* the violation of the laws of the high way," stated Judge Garland Midyette of Jackson in his charge to the grand .jury here this morning after he had. gone into a practical discussion of the duties of the jurors. The judge stated that we are build ing good roads and the automobile' manufacturers are building many au-! tomobiles at the same time and that there was getting to be right much rivalry between the manufacturers as ' to which car can excel in speed. "There are many people who take along a little liquor and get under the' influence of it " he stated, "and then run into another man and kill him. ' They are guiity of manslaughter. I ' know of no more dangerous practice than driving an automobile while un der the Influence of liquor." Another law frequently broken ev- ' cry Where, he showed, was that against ' the manufacture, possession, selling * and transportation of liquor. "When we are spending so much money for ' schools and churches, it would not ' seem economic nor moral to allow such a practice which builds nothing ' constructive to continue." the judge stated in substance. He said that he did not mean to single out this one ^ law any more tiian the others because violations of all laws should be pre vented, but that a disrespect for one law breaks down all other laws.
