A Good Whip Might Stop Tack Throwing On Streets Of City More than one resident of Ashe boro is up in aims about the scatter^ ing of large tacks in the streets, es pecially in certain sections of the town. Busy people have been annoyed more than once by having to stop at garages while their tires are fixed. The frequeet recurrence of these same tacks aroused suspicion and watchers were rewarded for their ,trouble. This being a‘violation of law with heavy penalty attached, the offioers will enforce the law to the limit with a large group of fretful victims mak ing it hard for the offenders besides. It has been several years since this has happened in Asheboro and the of fenders were easily traced at that time. This is one matter the citizens Mrs. Lula Cagle, of Jackson Springs, Mr. and Mrs. L.

Millsaps, Jr., was struck and instant ly killed Wednesday about 12:4# o'clock by a car driven by G. B. Thompson, young attorney of Ishb berton. The accident occurred on North Fayetteville street and directly in front of the Carroll home, at the front of which Mrs. Carroll and Mis. Millsaps were standing talking at the time. Mr. Thompson, who was on his way home from High Point, was driving south and was accompanied by Shat ter Ferree, of Asheboro, a school mate, whom he had stopped by for and taken to High Point with him. After striking the child, Mr. Thomp son stopped and brought the little girl to Barnes Clinic and offered ev ery assistance possible. Mr. Thomp son was held by Sheriff C. E. King, to whom he surrendered himself, un til Wednesday night, during which time investigation of the accident, was made in an effort to place the blame. He was released after investigation disclosed the accident was unavoid able. Details are lacking as to just the accident occurred. Mr. Thomp son was probably the only direct wit ness to the tragedy. The little girl, it is thought, had gone across the street to the Millsaps oar to wait for her mother, who had stopped at the Carroll home on her way to the Mill saps home on highway 62 and who had previously left the little girl with Mrs. Carroll until she attended to some business down town. Mrs. Millsaps had left her car parked on the right hand side of -the street head ed north, and the child, it is thought, after getting in the car, decided to go hack to her mother.
