July P>.—Two lit' Lieutenant Fisher's patrol men for the seventh district spent a busy day in this part of th" district recently. Quite a number of minor wif'nu'tions of the State Highway laws a i l i t'-w more s rious violati >n- i were spotted by the patrolmen. in the mountainous section of the State where there are nrany curves and traffic is li/hr., t is .t common practice for the au'.oists to hug the in«i'!e of the curve* regardless of wheth er it i.s on t!ie right «.• left and tratlie is light p.'ople have gotten b\ with it so often that :;ov s 'j'ioiis risk.., are bi - ll , tak"n. i•' i ctive brakes, rusty re i.t k of tail lights, overloading of trucks, and fail ure to have proper license plates have also come in for tie* attention of the patrolmen. One man, said to have been required to unload more than a ton of bricks by the roadside will no doubt in the future see to it that he only loads one ton of bricks on a one ton truck, his truck will last longer for not being required to do more than double duty. The Eastern North Carolina tobacco market will be opened on September 3, about one week earlier than last year but not as early as had been re quested by eastern toJbacco growers.
