THREE ARE INJURED IN AN AUTOMOBILE WRECK HERE The High-Powered Chaining Truck Smashed into Mr. George S. Lee Car on Franklin Street A serious automobile accident hap pened at the intersection of Church and Franklin streets in Monroe Tues day afternoon when a high-powerH chain-gang truck, driven by Hoylo Helms, convict, ran into the new Franklin car of Mr. Geo. S. Lee, Sr. Mr. Lee was driving north and had crossed the center of Franklin street when the truck, which was running east on the north side of the street, struck Mr. Lee's car and turned it completely around and dragged it against the sidewalk on the nn th silo of the street. Tho car was being driven by Mr. Lee and was occupied by Mrs. McRae, mother cf Mr. W. P. McRae of Rock ingham, who married Miss Virginia Lee, daughter of Mr.G. S. Lee, Mrs. Standi of Rockingham, Mrs. Leak of Rockingham and Miss Estelle Tor rence, a trained nurse of Davidson. Sir. Lee sustained painful injuries in his left side and it is believul that ribs were fractured. A gash three inches long was cut in Mrs. Stancil's head. Mrs. McRae sustained a broken collar bone and her back was badly wrenched. Mrs. Leak and Miss Tor rtnee escaped with minor bruises. Mrs. McRae and Mrs. Stancil were rushed to the Ellen Fitzgerald hospi tal where medical treatment was ren dered. Mrs. McRae is still in the hos pital and it is uncertain when she will be out, while Mrs. Stancil has recov ered sufficiently to leave the hospi tal. The driver of the truck apparently did not see Mr. Lee's car at all and paid him no consideration whatever, although Mr. Lee was on the loft side of Franklin street when he was struck. Helms, who was driving hi truck states that the rain hnd cov ered the windshield to the extent that he could not see and that th s is res ponsible for the accident. Mr. Lee's car was almost rotr.p'e'e ly demolished, the left rear wheel be ing smashed, the fender torn up, the hid knocked in and the car badly twisted in general. The damage to the car is considerable, to say nothing of the personal injury received by its occupants. MASKED MEN KIDNAPPED YOUNG ANDERSON COUPLE Charged With Disorderly Conduct, They" Are Taken From Automobile and Carried Into the Woods Amhrson, S. C, June 8. Robert W. Sullivan, secretary of the Orr Cot ton mills, and .Miss Ruby Floyd were kidnapped from un automobile in front woman's home here late last night, by a band of masked men who "gave i hem a lecture," as they described i;. and dropped them in the woods some three miles out of town. Tlie man was warned not to be seen in Miss Floyd's company again, he told police, but he denied reports that reachtd him that he had been bea'en. He mid Miss Flovd and the hitter's mother, Mrs. Ada Floyd, informed police that the men were dressed in regalia resembling that of the Ku Klux Kian an I Miss Floyd asserted she was posit ve one of the men was a negro. The couple sail they thought thi.-y would be unable to identify any of their abductors. Sullivan, wno is about Ml years of age and in ndditkn to his business connection is secretary nnd treasurer of the South Carolina Cotton Man ufacturer's Association, was recently taken in custody at the home of Miss Floyd, but no charges were made. A charge of "disorderly conduct" was made against her, however, as a result of remarks attributed to her in a conversation with a neighbor who had complained to the police. She is about eighteen years old. The masked men came tonight in two automobiles and four men put Sullivan in one machine while three took Miss Floyd in the other and rapidly left town. Police were in formed by Mrs. Floyd but the only clue they had until the couple made their way back to town was the marks of a struggle around the cars. They were unable to ascertain which way the cars went. Charged With Choaking Child to Death John Blakency. colored, who lives on Mr. Vann Cuthbertson's place four miles east of town, was arrested Wednesday by Sheriff Fowler and Constable Winchester on a charge of choaking the ten-months old baby girl of his wife's to death. lhe ehiM was not the daughter of Blakenev, he having married about two weeks after the child was born, and it is believed that he didn't want the child around. The crime was committed about the twenty-second of March, and it is stated that Blakeney had kept his wife at home since and threatened to kill her it' sho told about the act. A few days ago Sheriff Fowler and Constable W nchester heard of the crime and Mr. Winches ter swore out a warrant that re sulted in Blakimy's arrest. He was brought to Monroe and lodged in jail to await trial today. It is statsd that Blakenev had repeatedly beaten the child severely and that he has also frequently beaten his wife and thnt he beat her up awfully the night be fore his arrest. Officers state that Biakdiey's wife testifies freely as to the guilt of her husband in choaking the child to death, but that there :.r? iij other witnesses. Most lioipb' who hnv? nothing to do r.iake the mistake cf doing it.

At short range, it has been my good fortune to see her from the taw-line of the tides to the Unaka Mountains, from the storm-swept, thunder-riven, sands of Hatteras, terror of mariners, fitly called the Golgotha of the seas, to the glory-garlanded foot-stools of the King of Saints, from the land of the I".

Each recuring Easter suggests, aye, proclaims, the issuance of the fiat which shall usher in the renaissance, the new heaven and the new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, the concrete of prophetic vision.

Several x-ray pictures oi me wounds were made.

Misses Mary Ellen, 14, and Esther, 8. escaped from the smash-up with few scratches.

NO SERYICE AFFORDS THE PLEASURE HJBLIC SERYICE Modern Society Exemplifying Truth Enunciated Centuries Ago That No Man Liveth to Himself AN ANCIENT PICTURE OF COMMUNITY LIFE With All Their Culture and Devotion Greek Cities Came to Downfall Through Narrow Conception. (By R. F. Eeasley in Goldsboro Xewi) The Xew York Times is considered the mo-it complete newspaper in the world. Its owner, Mr. Adolph Ochs, said in a speech the other day to an advertis'ng club in his old home town, t haitanooga, that advertising should be directed with a view to bene fit the community indirectly, as well as the individual. And then Mr. Ochj added "There :s r. se rvice in the world that givej you lhe pleasure the pub lic service does, and doing your duty as a citizen in the town." Modern society is exemplifying the truth enunciated in the scriptures many, many centuries ago, that no man liveth unto himself. All serious minded men have a ma jor purpose in life. To the average man his private I u.mess, whatever it may be, is necessarily his major purpose. But why thould not ail men nave a minor purpose in some form of public service? Psychologists sometimes u ivis.- very busy men to adopt a hobiiy as a relaxation. Why should a m;'.i:'s hobby not be some forms of usei'ul community enterprise rather than a purely selfish hobby. The world is coming to the point of expecting something from men who have the ability and the opportunity to be useful outside their regular bus iness and professional enterprises. One may recall in this connection the parable of the talents. Has the man of five talents or three talents or two talents done his duty if he fails to do something outside his regular bus iness enterprises conducted for pri vate purposes? Ancient Picture of Community Life The small cities of ancient Greec have Kft their imprint upon succeed ing generations to a greater extent than any like population of ancient times. The statement might be modi fied to the extent of excepting the an cient Jews, who through the perpet uation of their religion and literature in the o'd testament have been mora influential in the development of mod ern times than all other agencies. But the Greeks and the Jews were in fluential in different fields, the Jewj in religion and the Greeks in art, literature and war. There is no great er portrayal of community spirit, unity and purpose than the report of Thucydides of the speech of Pericles, delivered by the great statesman at the graves of Athenian soldiers who died in battle. Thus it runs: "Of the battles which we and our fathers fought," he said, "whether in the winning of our power abroad or in bravely withstanding the warfare of barbarians or Grevk at home, I do not wish to say more: they are too familiar to you all. I wish rather to set forth the spirit in which we faced them and the constitution and man ners with which we rose to greatness, and to pass from them to the dead; for I think it not unfitting that these things should be called to mind at today's solemnity, and expedient too that the whole gathering of citizens and strangers should listen to them "Our Constitution is named a de mocracy because it is in the hands not of the few but of the many. But our laws recure equal justice for all in their private disputes, and our pub lic opinion welcomes and honors tal ent in every branch of achievement, not for any sectional reason but on the grounds cf excellence alone. And as we give free play to all our pub lic life so we carry the same spirit into our daily relations with one an other. We have no black looks or angry words for our neighbor if he enjoys himself in his own way, and we abstain from the little acts of churlishness, which, though they leave no mark, yet cause annoyance to whosoever notes them. Open and friendly in our private intercourse, in our public acts we keep strictly with in the control of law. We acknowledge the restraint of reverence: we are obedient to whomsoever is set in au thority and to the laws, more esnee- ially to those which offer protection to the oppressed and those unwritten ord;rances whose transgression brines admitted shame. i et o;;,'s is no workadav citv onlv. No other provides so manv recreation for the spirit contests and sacrifi ces all th- yeir round, and beauty in our public build'ngs to cheer the heart and delight the ?ye day by day "We are love s of beauty without extravagane? i.r;d lovers of wisdom without unma-.liiiess. Wealth to us Is not mere rm: ral for vainglory but an opportunity f:- achievement; and poverty we th.r.k it no disgrace to ac knowledge but a real degradation to rflake no effort to overcome. Our citi zens attend both the public and pri vate duties and do not allow absorn tion in their own various affairs to interfere with their knowledge of tho city's. We d.tfer from other states in regarding the man who holds aloof fro.n public life not as 'quiet' but 1 useless; we decide our debate, care fully and in person, all matters of policy holding not that wnnl , d.eds go ill together but that acts are fm ('doomed to failure when uVier-t-ken undi.-cussed.
