The Chatham Record CAR SMASHES INTO WAGON Odell Alston, Colored, Killed—Others Injured—Mule Injured and Killed Odell Alston is dead as a result of i collision between an old-vintage 1 Ford and a team of mules driven by W. B. Dorsett. The tragedy occurred last Thursday evening, after dark, when Alston, in his old Ford loaded :o the utmost, was hastening to the colored fair at Siler City. It is said that he was coasting round a curve and that consequently the fights were very dim. He ran head )n into the team. The wagon tongue :s supposed to have plunged through *:he windshield and hit Alston. His collar bone was broken and his jugu ar vein was severed. Two ribs were broken and driven into his lungs. The injured man was hurried to Dr. Thom as at Siler City, but died a few min utes after he reached the doctor. Mr. Dorsett was thrown from his wagon but was not seriously injured. One of his mules, however, got both legs broken and had to be killed. Alston had with him his wife and baby and seven other negroes. Re ports do not indicate any serious in jury to any of these. The dead man was a tenant on Mr. Goodwin Johnson’s -farm in Hickory Mountain township. The accident oec eurred about three miles from Siler City. MT.

They entered first, followed by the brides maids, Miss Jennie Connell of Pitts boro, Miss Emily Taylor, of Pitts boro, Miss Fannie Taylor, Miss Eliza beth Huber, Bliss Pauline Taylor, of Pittsboro, and Miss Dot Cheek.

The person that drives a team at night is taking his life in his hands at the best, and if he falls to carry a light his act is almost suicidal. ' When former Governor Morrison complains of the smallness of the crowd that went to hear him speak at Durham, political interest can be adjudged at a very low ebb. It is reported that 4,225 automo biles were stolen in North Carolina the past year. Either rogues are exceedingly numerous or very active. Granting that each thief stole ten, if all the rascals were caught it would fncrease the number of convicts by over 400. A brisk canvass of the cotton grow ers of the South is to be made to se cure pledges to reduce acreage next season. Immediate assurance of such a reduction is the only hope of se curing for the growers this year any thing like a fair compensation for their cotton. Every day sees part of the crop pass out of the hands of the grower at a loss, and it will be only a short while till rise in the price would help the average grower very little. What is to be done, should be done at lightning speed. Governor BlcLean, in an address at Hickory Monday night, is reported to have made it clear that the state is not going “to be stampeded into an orgy of spending without regard for the consequences.” He was equally emphatic that progress shall continue. The Record is willing to trust the judgment of Governor McLean. A good, steady gait is the way to make the greatest progress inthe long-run. When driving horses was in vogue, it was a generally accepted princi ple that the way to make a journey in record time and with safety to the horse, was to drive moderately. In this day of automobiles, there are plenty of examples of the folly of reckless driving. No Jehu is needed on the car of State. A Daniel has come to judgment. Judge Meekins will not allow W. M. Person and his colleagues _in the ef fort to place the tobacco co-ops under a receivership to be paid large fees, in fact, any fees from the cooperative funds belonging to the tobacco grow ers. Those voluntary attorneys were hoping to get $25,000 to SSOOOO. for their services. The First Baptist church of Fort Worth, Texas, is reported to be plan ning a parade of 10,000 believers in their pastor J. Frank Norris preced ing his trial for murder. Such a procedure would simply be outrageous. Let Norris submit his case to The jury like any other man, without ar such attempt to influence public opin ion. Queen Marie of Roumania landed at New York Blonday. She expects to visit North Carolina during her tour of this country. Probably this is the first visit to the United States of any real queen, though we believe Queen Lil—of Hawaii visited this country, either before or after her uncrowning. Two students of the University have been killed in automobile accidents within the past two weeks. The last was Ernest Hyde, who was killed Blon day night near Haw River. Ernest Black was seriously injured and oth ers hurt in the wreck. Only a few days previously young Toms of Dur ham was killed on the Durham- Chap el Hill highway. 110 people died as a result of automobile accidents in North Carolina during August and September. If people wauld ride less and work more there would be fewer casualties. This fall is going by without a State fair. But if anybody feels a serious loss, we haven’t heard of him. Ex positions and fairs have had their day. Scarcely one can survive without the jazz of midway, and thousands at tend them for nothing else. The election is approaching. The Record has become convinced of the fact by the reports that the Governor, former Governor Blorrison, and other big guns are in the field. Jonathan Hayes, Republican candidate for the Senate, has for months been ranging the state. But he seems to be the lone Republican on the hustings. The Greensboro News a few days ago published a poem by our friend Mossette Lee of Clinton and comment ed very complimentarily upon it But it is surprising that the writer of the editorial should acknowledge ignor ance of Blr. Lee. As the Record stated 1 sometime ago, Mossette Lee is an in stitution in Sampson, and as poem after poem of his has been published in the state press, it is, as stated, rather surprising that the usually well informed Daily News should have to acknowledge its ignorance of the Sampson poet. The State Parent-Teacher Associa tion is to hold important sessions at Burlington on Nov. 9-10-11. An un usually fine array of speakers has been secured for the occasion. The meeting should draw a throng from all parts of the state. As indicating its impor tance, we may quote Rector R. G. Shannonhouse, who, after reading the program, said that he would not miss I going for ten dollars. The key-note 1 of the meeting is “Training for Par enthood”, and “Square Deal for Pa- I yy
