Ella Cauble Indifference To Law Enforcement Is Common Thing Judge Oglesby Tells Rotarians At Banquet Last Friday In Church Dining Halt Courts Are Neglected Average Citizen Pays Little At tention As To How Laws Of The Land Are Enforced. Judge John M. Oglesby, m Ashe boro presiding over tfivfl term of Ran dolph Superior Court, spoke to the Rotarians at their regular weekly luncheon Friday In the dining hall of the load Methodist Protestant church. Judge Oglesby took as the theme of his talk the indiffemce of the people in general to the courts and to law enforcement. He recited the wonder ful progress that has been made in pibrth Carolina during the past quar ter . of a century in good roads, schools, churches, industry, and, in fact, almost every line of endeavor; and told of the interest which the cit izenship of the State had taken in these matters. On the other hand, progress in law enforcement and law observance has not gone hand in hand with these other improve ments and advancements. . Judge Oglesby pointed oat that when a new industry is required for a community, when good roads are needed, when good school buildings miJ additional churches are necessary, the people.of the communities af fected enter heart and soul into the endeavor to obtain these things. Yet, these same good dlanens are indif ferent to law enforcement They seldom visit the courtrooms during ,the sessions of court to see how the laws are administered, and often when called to serve in the jury box make every honorable effort to evade ser vice. And yet, the courts are insti tutions responsible to the citizenship of the country and are a vital and necessary part of our common gov ernment. The judge in his remarks cited statistics to show the increased num ber of law violations in the country and in North Carolina. He quoted figures to show that on an average 1.76 persons an killed each day on the highways of North Carolina, the greater number of the deaths being lGiusnip. 1x6 also gave n^urfs on tnc increased number of crimes committed by white people in the State and cited the fact that the average law violator in recent years is a young man. These conditions, Judge Oglesby declared, are largely due .to indifference on the part of our people. Citizens of the State, declared Judge Oglesby, should take an interest in the functions of their courts, visit the courtroom and lend every possible assistance in the enforcement of our laws as well as to take an active part in seeing that the laws are observed. Hurley Residence In Union Township Riddled By Bullets • ■— The residence of William Hurley, n Union township, was riddled with shot fired from guns in the hands of three unidentified white men late Wednesday night of last week. The louse was surrounded by the gunmen and shot poured into it from every angle. Nobody was hurt, although the house was occupied by Mr. Hurley and his entire family at the time. The family was awakened by the sounds of the shots which the gunmen were firing. A bed on which the Hurley baby was sleeping was riddled with bullets, some of which barely missed hitting the sleeping child. The gun men remained about the house for some time, leaving about 4 o’clock. No reason can be assigned for the at tack unless Hurley’s activities in As sisting officers in raids on illicit dis tilleries incensed those who have been affected by the raids of the officers.

Former Seagrove Resident Died In Virginia Sunday Local National Guard Company Is Home From Camp Returned Sunday After Two Weeks Of Training' At Cup . Jackson, S. C. J Makes Good Showing: Was Baby Unit Of The Cmap, But Performed Duties In Most, Excellent Manner. The local National Guard unit, des ignated as Headquarters Company, Third Battalion, 120th Infantry, ar rived in Asheboro Sunday about noon from Camp Jackson, S. C., where it had been the past fifteen days taking; training as a part of the 30th Divis ion. Aside from a coat of tan, banted* on the skin by the hot South Carolina sun, and a few sore feet, caused: by wearing Uncle Sam’s heavy shoes on the drill field, the individual members were in good physical condition^ The boys had stood up well under the training schedule which they hod car ried out from the beginning until the end of the camp period. Although the local company was .organized and federally recognized the latter part of May and had their rifles and other equipment only a few days before encampment, they per formed well the duties assigned them. Intensive training was given the company in' close order drill and foras ations during the first days of tike camp, until during the latter days ef the training; period, the local company was able to stack up well beside flap f veteran companies which make ay the 120th Infantry.

Nearly every piorning, the kitchen and quartern of the Headquarters company were de clared the cleanest hi the entire regi ment. While Sid cleaning up of the which was situated oq the site of old .war-time Camp Jaclcsbn, took up a great deal of time, and although the drilling under the hot Southern sun was something new to the members of the local company; all the camp life was not hard work. The drill sched ule began at 7 o’clock in the morning and ended at 11:30.' During the af ternoons, athletic programs were in order. But, as a rule, it rained in the afternoons and the boys had little to do other than take life easy and rest up from their morning’s work. At night the soldiers of the entire en tire encampment were permitted to leave the camp area, go to Columbia, or any other place within reach, the only provision being that they behave themselves and be back in camp and in bed by 11 o’clock at night The local boys were usually ready to take to their cots before the hour designated. Discipline in the company was ex cellent. The company was declared to be the quietest in the regiment and the best behaved. The boys generally conducted themselves as gentlemen, obeyed orders implicitly and showed a desire and willingness to learn army lifd.
