TOLL OF
CARLESSNESS
Figures recently compiled by the
state 0f Oregon show that 93 per cent
of its automobile wreck are caused
by carelessness. Of 9,131 accidents
reported from January 1 to June 30,
last, 5,457 are charged entirely to
carelessness. Added to these may be
included the following: speeding,
183; failure to give right of way,
1,381; reckless driving, 260; cutting
corners* 372; double at intersections,.
155; driving while intoxicated, 123;
failure to give signal, 290; driving on
left side of street or highway, 64; im
proper parking, 79; reverse direction
in fiddle of block, 40; passing to left
of street cars while discharging pas
sengers, 31; inexperience, 24; jockey
ing on bridges, 21; a total of 9,480
accidents which might have been
avoided, according to the report of
the secretary of state, had the drivers
been' careful. It is probable that these
Oregon figures would be a fair aver
age for other states.
That too many automobile drivers
“let the insurance company pay the
bill” is responsible for many avoid
able accidents. Let drivers remember
that no insuranp policy has yet been:
devised which will return the life of
a person killed through an auto
mobile driver’s carelessness. Safety
to life and property rests almost
wholly in the hands of the auto
mobile driver.

THE FRAUDS IN OILS
(By Associated Press)
Denver, Colo., Sept. 11.—Putting to
the people of Colorado and the west,
“the plain question of honesty iiT gov
ernment,’’ John W. Davis asked them
in an address here tonight to hold the
republican party “to the accounting
which it is due,” on its record in the
administration of government.
Reviewing that record in some de
tail, particularly with reference the
leasing of the naval oil reserves, and
the handling of the reclamation prob
lem, the democratic presidential can
didate said he wished to keep con
stantly before the people of the
United State the uestion of party
government and party responsibility.
“Unless political parties can be
held to strict account,” he declared,
“party government/?tself >3 a base
imposition and a fraud.”

Citing Benefits for State If
Project for Water Develop

(By Associated Press)
Raleigh, Sept 11.—Declaring that
if it were possible at this time he
would make a campaign in the state
in the interests of the port commis
sion bill and that he would regard ap
proval of the measure in November
as “a decided step forward in the
progress of the state,” A. E. Tilley,
campaign manager for I. M. Meekins,
republican candidate for governor,
issued a statement this afternoon
through the headquarters of the port
commission campaigners.
Mr. Tilley declared that he was
expressing his approval of the meas
ure in a statement because he did not
wish to make it an issue in the cam
paign for governor and perhaps
“prejudice the measure.” He as
serted, however, that he felt every
man seking high office in the state
should express himself on any matter
affecting the interests of the people,
“no matter if the question is ‘purely
an economic question’."
SEPTEMBER FIRST
COTTON REPORT
(Special to the Gazette)
Raleigh, Sept. 11.—The national
cotton crop production forecast de
clined over 1 per cent during the past
two weeks, according to the govern
ment crop report. The condition de
clined over 5 per cent in two weeks,
and, since a month ago, it dropped 8
per cent As compared with a year
agi, the condition of 59.3 per cent is
6 per cent higher now. The present
xpectation is for 156 pounds per
acre, making a total of 12,787,000
baits. 0
m While the United States forecast is
almost 25 per cent more than last
year, the North Carolina forecast of
828,000 bales it about 20 per cent Isas
than last year. ' This is based on a
condition of 58 per cent of a full
crop for this state, showing a pros
pective yeld of 219 pounds per acre or
only three-fourths of last year’s per
acre yield.
Practically all states showed con
siderable declines in condition during
the last month except Virginia and
North Carolina. Virginia’s crop im
proved 14 per cent, while that in this
state held to a 58 per cent prospect.
The average for the United States
showed a decline of 8 per cent this
year, 13 last year, and an average
decline of 9 per ce*nt 0ver a period of
10 years.
Georgia has been making quite a
stir over her briught cotton prospects.
All Tar Heels are glad of this for the
Crackrs have certainly been up
against it during recent years. While
the conditions in North Carolina look
very gloomy, it is interesting to note
that while the Georgia yield per acre
is 164 pounds of lint, the present out
look in North Carolina is for 219
pounds average. This still _ leaves
North Carolina a good advantage.
Texas is reported as having a com
paratively good crop, but her yield is
only 132 pounds per acre, based on
her present condition of 55 per cent
of a full crop.
The condition and production by
states is as follows: Virginia 65 per
cent and 41,000 bales; North Carolina
68 and 828,000; South Carolina 52
and 767,000; Georgia 64 and 1,209,000;
Florida 72 and 27,000; Alabama 61
and 948,000; Mississippi 60 and
1,033,000; Louisiana 47 and 311,000;
: Texas 55 and 4,284,000; Arkansas 66
and 1,109,000; Tennessee 65 and
421,000; Missouri 50 and 228,000;
Oklahoma 70 and 1,289,000 and the
United States averages 59.3 per cent
with a total 12,787,000 bales.
| The State Statistician, of the Co
‘ operative Crop Reporting Service, has
lust returned from a long trip through
, the cotton belt with the United States
; 'otton specialist and found conditions
| somewhat better than was expected.
The poorest conditions in North Caro
lina are to be found in'the eastern or
coastal countie8 from lower Robeson
■ 1 ..
to the AIMmarle Sound. ' ¥he crop ia
the
distinctly late in all arena and
plants cofpamtively small. No ap
preciable damage has been done by
the weevils. Conditions are still very
dry in many counties, with much
shedding.
