GASOLINE DANGEROUS Mr Dunlap Philosophizes on Recent Observations of His and Makes Earnest Plea On route sixty, from Bonlee to , Winston-Salem, Sunday, November ; 22, the writer saw three auto wrecks, six cars torn to pieces. I consider , them not worth over ten-percent of cost price. The night before there were two wrecks near Bonlee, on the same road. • This time three cars were made- almost worthless. In these wrecks right much skin ,and hair were lost but nobody was killed out right. In one of the wrecks the driver, fully intoxicated and running very fast, drove to the wrong side of the road, ran into another car, and tore up the cars. I think the drunk imagined that he was having a big time, painting things red. The blood was running from him freely. When the officer took him in charge the young man was. surprised and felt it to take a man’s from him like that. Looking at the man, the blood still streaming, I thought of that song, “Oh, Where is My Boy Tonight.” I thought of that mother, so tender with him in infancy, so anxious and watchful over him through his boy hood days, happy when he grew to manhood, feeling should her compan ion be taken from her, that she could lean on the strong arm of her noble son, and should she be taken first, she was also happy, feeling that her dear boy would be a comfort and cheer to her lover and his Dad during his last sad hours. Oh, Comrades, it was a sad picture. I am fearful the young man was seri ously hurt. I thought, “Oh Lord, my God, is there no help for that mother’s son?” He, too, called for help in an earnest, singing tone, “I want a law yer, I want a lawyer, I want a law yer.” In his car was a fruit jar half full of hell-fire. About twenty people were standing around. I remarked “there is the evidence; one of you men go tell the officer, some of the others watch it until the officer comes.” I looked over the folks. I imagine they were ninety percent church members, but I have my doubts whether the officer ever saw the fruit jar of hooch. I am appealing to the mothers of Chatham county. “I may be crazy but I ain’t no fool.” The Ford, the hooch —you know the rest, and I know also what follows. The women can stop this mad rush, and make our county bone-dry in six months. First get on your knees and take God in as part ner. Tell the men that you have cooked your last meal for the man who drinks; use more brains and less sympathy; back up our officers, fill our courts to overflowing; demand of the courts, justice. Politically you hold the balance of power. Say to those who would be leaders, that they must be dry, that there are absolute ly no wet planks in your platform. Be sure you are right before you vote. Any girl who will sweetheart with a drunkard is a common thinker. Any church member who drinks liquor is throwing a monkey wrench into the wheels of progress, and keeping sin ners from becoming: Christians. “Think on these things.” Earnestly, ISAAC H. DUNLAP. • Miss Mamie Griffin and Miss Addie Lipscomb of Durham spent Thanks giving with the former’s brother, Mr. Frank Griffin, Siler City, route 5, re urning to Durham Sunday evening. 100-Year Old Minister To Preach Farewell Sermon—A Batch of Newsy Items from Upper Cape Fear Township • New Hill, Rt. 2, Nov. 30.—Mr. and Mrs: A.
