Two grade-crossing tragedies in Rf,beset! county !ast week, one of them fatal to one prominent citizen of the touuty. another prominent cittzen be sermualy i&juTed in the tdher. i ario h^ Warding warning to nmtor ts that eternal vigilance is the note < f safety in driving across a railroad $ !T?M^. \enher one of these tragedies couid vo attributed to recklessness. Mr. W. 1 Johnson, the victim of the fatal tragedy, was sixty-seven years old a i a conservative and successfui bus otess man. Mr. Geo. i.. Thompson, who e raped from a fearful wreck with ):i life, over fifty-five years oid and also is—happiiy the present tense can be used in his case—a conserva five and successful business man. One couid not associate the taking of fool chances with either, yet each of them drove on to a railroad track in the path of an oncoming train. In Mr Johnson's case there was nothing to! obstruct a clear view of the track, ex- I cept that he had curtains of his car j up. which ordinariiy is supposed to , make one doubly cautious. He proba biy was absorbed in thought and did not reaiize what he was doing. In Mr. Thompson's case, standing box cars shut off the view and he did not realize that strain was coming untii he was on the track. It is a rough crossing and his car choked down. He thought he b^M time enough to start his car and dMve off. These distressing tragedies ought to he warning enough to automobile drivers that drjying an automobile de. ntands constant attention and alert ness to surroundings, that one should never drive across a railroad track wit hout being absolutely sure that the way is dear, and that if one does not come to a dead stop before crossing a track one at least should slow up and change gears and avoid the dan ger of the motor choking down. Of course every driver of a motor car knbws, or should know, to use these simple precautions, but every driver is prone to think that such ac cidents as those that startled folks hereabouts last week will never hap pen to him The fact, however, that men who ordinarily were careful and cautious by habit were victims right here in Robeson county in the space of less than a week ought to bring heme the danger with such force as to save others. 0 '**-**<* tt IMPROVED NEWS SERV!CE With this issue THE ROBESON IAN is beginning a service that here tofore has been given only to daily newspapers and that wii! give its readers the best service obtainable by newspapers published less often than daily. The International News Service is a great newsgathering agency that ranks with the Associated Press. By special arrangement THE ROBESON IAN has secured contract with this agency whereby it will receive mail and telegraphic service that will put it in the rank of dai'ies in giving its readers up-to-the-minute service. .News from the General Assembly at Raleigh and all other news of an im portant nature will be covered, and as THE ROBESON!AN covers its home field tlyirpughly its readers can rest assured that they are getting in their home paper all the news of im portance of their county, State and nation. This service is put on at consider able additional expense and is in iine with the policy of THE ROBESON IAN of keeping a jump ahead of the demand and giving its readers the best that can be obtained. Dr. Norris, the spectacular Texas fundamentalist who parts his name ir the middle, seeatts always to have beer prepared for.Dgubk-. He has admittec that he drew,, a gun on a man whe attacked hin^We years ago, aDo tha< he was indicie$ three times tn 19IS and 1913 on ^efjury and arson charg es. They have ^proved that Chipps, th< man Norris killed, was a man full o Quarrel and fight, breathing ou threatenings and slaughter when it his cups, an^that he stayed ?utl a: a goat much of the time; and tin ae- tt-opmy paat^haa been no shrinkin) violet in hi* time. With Chipps dead, if they can pat Norrla oat of the way in priaon for a spe!!, ear notion ia that the air would be parer and sweeter down Forth Worth way. It seems charlish to do it, but when a person signs yoa down on the pub iic highways the safest thing to do is to step on the gas and keep going A kind-hearted Deigado man who I picked up a youthfui waiking dele gate on the New Bern road the other lay soon found himself looking down the business e"d of a gun and was forced to give up his car and what money he had on his person. Morc ; o'er, he was bound hand and foot and left in the woods to meditate upon what had overtaken him in yielding to the kind implnse to give a weary l traveler a lift. It is time for Lumbertan to pass be yond the shingle stage. A recent dis the idea that the town needed the best fire-fighting equipment that could be ! bought, and it was bought forthwith. That same fire hastened removal of a dangerous fire-breeder in the busi ness section. Lumberton's fire-con- ] seriousness has been awakened and it! is proposed to banish all but fire-proof < rhingics on residences or other build- ; ings. It ought to be done. If proper provision is to be made ' for the inevitable growth of the town, Lumberton's commissioners arc going to have a lay out some alley ways where there now are none. If t eventually, why not now? Senator Broughton of Wake and Representative Falls are optimistic members of the General Assembly. They have offered an Australian bal lot bill. MOTHER OF MR. J.
