Thursday, September 2, 1926 Town and County Briefs The Pittsboro school opened yester (sav with the usual formalities. Adames George Brooks and W. P. ujrton, teachers in the Pittsboro will be at home Friday eve sg to the ladies. \lrs. J. L. Sargent and Mrs. Ivey Hdl of Asheville recently visited Mrs. M. Hill. Miss Lillie H. Hill of Leaksville is visiting her mother, Mrs. N. M. Hill. Misses Camilla and Thera Powell . ' Returned from an extended visit to their aunt, Miss Lillie H. Hill. Melton Barbee, a young man of the northeastern part of the county, is hoarding with Jailor Burns because | f alleged drunkenness and disorder ly conduct on the highway. Mr and Mrs. J. R. Mineham and children of Okeechabee, Florida, spent f ew days this week with Pauline and Emily Taylor. People in Pitts boro will remember Mrs. Mineham as Miss Ruth Angier. Miss Beulah Johnson, of Raleigh, spent the week-end with Catherine Johnson. 1 Little Miiss Virginia Hayes Lindlev is spending the week-end with her grandparents in Raeford. Mrs. W. H. Cox and daughter re turned to Laurinburg Saturday af ter a visit of ten days to her brothers and sisters in Pittsboro. Mr. Trout’s show, which was here all last week, is in Sanford this week. Rain two nights caused a loss here. In fact, it is hard to see how a show of that size can be run at 10 and 20 cents admission. The Brooks reunion last week. is reported as very enjoyable. About a hundred were present. Notice the advertisement of the auction sale of Horace Q. Jones’ farm 3 miles west of Siler City on Sept. 11. This is a good farm, well located, and near enough to the thriving town of Siler City to make it a desirable loca tion for farmers who wish a local market for truck and the opportunity to send their children to a good school. Mr. G. D. Gurley, a former resident of Siler City, has charge of the sale. Mrs. A. B. Campen, of Mechanic, fifth-grade teacher for the Pittsboro school, arrived Monday. She will make her home with her sister, Mrs. E. A. Farrell. Little Miss Cara White has suf fered considerably this week from |the effects of two nails stuck in one lof her feet last week. I The Record would like to have the ■help of two or three active boys from ■six o’clock, to nine on Wednesday eve- Inings. With school open and the days [getting shorter, the press work and [ mailing will apparently have to be ' done at night. , Drivers Should Be Licensed (From the Chapel Hill Weekly) Mark Twain said that people were always talking about the weather but nobody ever did automobile accidents. Nothing else, unless it be prohibition, is the subject of so many aimless lamentations, so much vain talk. Every day the newspapers chron icle automobile fatalities on their front pages; and the editorial Standards. 1 The nationally known roofing products sold ex clusively in this territory by Budd-Piper are standards | for judging: Johns-Manville Asbestos | Roofing; Richardson Super-Giant Shingles; Rubberoid Strip Shingles Corco Galvanized Roof ing and Shingles;* - Potts’ A, L T.

Too much speed is usually the cause of the trouble. Yet let some zealous constable begin to arrest speed ers on a state highway, and at once there arises a wail of dis tress that can be heard from; Currituck to Cherokee. And» usually, before there has been i time to learn the merits of the case, many of the very same newspapers which have been de ploring the death roll publish stories that are plainly colored with sympathy for the drivers and hostility to the officer of the law. r | Os course is is impossible to end accidents entirely, just as it is impossible to devise a sys tem of taxation that will please everybody, to make all politi cians honest, to eradicate kiss ing among flappers and drug store cowboys, or to attain ab solute perfection in anything. Yet Is does seem that a civiliza tion that pretends to any con cern for human life might ven ture to take some move to dis courage reckless driving. The very first essential, if there is to be any improvement at all, is responsibility on the part of drivers. And yet the state of North Carolina allows anybody who will, to drive an automobile; and a few scattered policemen are expected to see that due caution is observed!

Thirty-five per cent of the marriages of white men in the islands are with women of other races, Doctor Adams said. More white men than women contract interracial marriage, because there are more white men here, ow ing to the presence cf large numbers of soldiers. The pure-blooded Hawaiians and • Portuguese are disappearing, he said, while the part-Hawaiian and the part- Portuguese groups are growing. R.
