Harry B. Aid ridge
Harry Aldridge probably did more
favors for a greater number of people
than any man who ever lived in South
port.
He died Monday morning, and death
put an end- to weeks of suffering: yet
news of his passing came as a note of
personal loss to hundreds of his fellow
townsmen.
Harry spent the last thirty years of
his life working for the city, and people
in a small town have a way of taking
it for granted that service of any kind
from a city employee is theirs for the
asking. Harry Aldridge answered calls 1
day and night for rich and poor, and
he made it sound like you were doing
him a favor to call on him.
Measured by the yardstick of world
ly goods, he was a man of modest
means. But few Southport citizens have
ever been paid the tribute of a more
sincere regret at their passing than
was felt by the friends and neighbors
of Harry Aldridge.
I
Take Your Choice ?
Would you be willing to drive your
automobile down a concrete ramp at a
speed of 100-miles per hour through
an 8-foot gap between a steel piling on
one side and a cement pillow on the
RUFUS E. SELLERS
LAID TO REST
(Continued From Page One)
Supply.
The remains were brought
back to Brunswick by Kilpatrick's
Funeral Home and burial was
made at the Galloway cemetery
near Supply yesterday afternoon
at 3 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Fulmer,
pastor of Mt. Pisgah Baptist
church, had charge of the fun
eral services.
The active pallbearers were
Murdic Holden, J. R. Lawrence,
other ?
Sounds pretty dangerous, doesn't it?
Yet this is exactly what happens as you
refuse to slow down in order to pre
vent meeting an automobile in the nar
row confines of a highway bridge.
Or would you be willing to take your
? wife and little boy and stand beside a
railroad track and let a train whiz
past with only a two-foot clearance be
tween your loved ones and the hurtling
mass of steel? You wouldn't do that?
Well, remember this the next time you
speed around a curve in your automo
bile and meet a bus or truck on the
turn.
Danger is a matter of relativity, and
merely because we have grown used
to placing our life in the balance a
dozen times a day when we travel
along our highways the element of
danger it not reduced. ;
It is well to remember that the auto
mobile that is such a convenience in
business, is such a great source of
pleasure, is just as surely a deadly
weapon. Always remember this, and
your chances for a long life and pleas
ant travel will be greatly improved.
Which Will It Be ?
The nation has learned the hard way
that it has a vital stake in its basic
industries. The coal strikes have demon
strated this with disastrous finality.
The political and legislative trend in
this country, weighted heavily in favor
of monopolistic labor practices, can
have but one end ? chaos and eventual
destruction of private management and
representative government. Repeatedly,
even in time of war, the miners have
struck. Each time a settlement was for
ced in favor of the miners. Strikers are
encouraged as long as the law permits
one party t9 do as it pleases while re
stricting the actions of the other.
The coal miners' latest demands
amount to union taxation of industry
and union control of management.
The people of this country must rea
lize soon that industry and labor must
be treated equally under the law or we
are headed for government by pressure
groups on a scale that will destroy op
portunity and personal liberty.
