Crime Prevention. (From the Wilmington Dispatch.) A New Jersey judge the other day sentenced a young man, who drove an automobile while intox icated, to thirty days' imprison' ment. The reckless young auto? mobile driver is of a prominent family, with lots of influentiaifmetal culverts SO to 32 feet long mends, but the law itself, not the court, "nailed him," as it al lows no alternative in such a case. So the young man has commenc ed to serve thirty days in jail. While running his auto he crash ed into a carriage, but it was the fact that he was intoxicated that brought about his arrest and sentence.- its a good law and every State should have one. It will rank among the great pre ventive laws of the day and the public mind is grasping the idea more that its prevention that counts most of all. The old saw about 'locking the stable after the horse has been stolen" is be mg tnougnt of in more than a trite way, and is producing fine results. Measures to protect neaitn, to prevent disease, are being taken, and there is no reas on why there should not be more attention to laws touching people criminally inclined. Of course, we have laws to punish criminals, thus setting examples for deter rent effect, and we have police men to scare criminals away, but there are so many other laws that could be enacted that would prevent crime. The NewJersey automobile statute, relative to an intoxicated man driving a ' ma ¬ chine, is one of them. 4 man un der the influence of liquor' has no business trying to steer an auto mobile. Better arrest him for placing the lives of innocent people at risk than punish him after some one baa been killed. Not' only would such be better to protect the public, but would protect the drunken fool, as it is apt to save him from having to face a homicide - trial and from staining bis conscience with the blood of a fellow-man. ,' And a law without the alternative of a fine ia the thing. No man can unwittingly get drunk' and drive an automobile. 1 ; , rVv v Mm or Chills fc Fever Prescription No. 66 It prepared especially for MALARIA or CHILLS eV FEVER.

One of the prettiest pieces of road not only in this county, but in any county,' Is the two and a half or more miles leading from Ellis' store to the Heckstall place. Pobd and wide twenty feet from butBide to outside elevated just tonaugh in the center.not as much jab some are, but apparently the right slope to run the water off and afford plenty room for a ma chine or 'buggy tb'lpa&B another One comfortably and not creen so as. to make one think he is go ing to be upset. In our opinion,' it is an ideal road, and we espe cially wish to congratulate the Supervisor. Mr. W. T. Heckstall, and his efficient machineman, Mr. Lewis Pritchard. We do not ex aggerate it when we say that, when this road dries off and is used awhile, it will almost be like a boulevard. It ia ideal. like most of the Bertie roads, Mr. .fjeckstall tells us, it is made out if the natural soil with about six pr eight inches of sand spread cbver the clay. Windsor Ledger. ' If Bro. Kenney of the Ledger will come over in Northampton we will show him fifteen miles of road in Rich Square township built like the piece he describes, but instead of 20 it is 80 feet wide, and without any bridges, being used in all ditcheB and istreama. The six miles of sand- elay road between Rich,, Square and Woodland is nearly straight and where not straight the curves are long so that you can see a long distance ahead. In build ing our roads many of the crooks and bends that were made by trees falling across the old Indian trails have been eliminated. We earnestly invite Brother Kenney and other Bertie good roads peo ple to come over to Rich Square and take a spin over our roads. There is a four mile gap between the Bertie line and our improved road but that will receive atten tion in the near future.
