THIN ICC HERE BOYS.
Y«m fellows who ars ilipilri to
tmv. MM pleasure by ridiag to
ithir folk* ears ars treading on thin
las wkn yon appropriate the ear be
longing to oar Judge. It Is bad
enought to tabs a ride to any ear aot
your own, take M (Mi oa. when yoa
carry off Judge Lewellyn's ear and
«ad about the country in it yoa ars
bunting for trouble.
Ws ars aot one ot tbs bard boilsd
kind who tbink every one who steals a
ride should be swung to a limb, for
■such at this devilment is in the na
ture of sport. The man who will
stoal a ear and ride • few miles to
It aad then park it la a safe place
by the read and be eareM to draw
the water from the radiator so that
the ear will not be Injured by front
ing before it is found, the man who
does all this Is not altogether had.
Re needs some one to take his
breeches off aad wear a goad buggy
whip out on his lower extremities,
but we insist be le not altogether bad.
The big problem is how to curb these
upstarts who want pleasure and hare
not the means or the sense to get it
la a lawful way. They would taste
of the sweets of life but are not
sensible enough to got at the sweets
without becoming entangled with the
law of the land. Most of this trouble
is due to the faulty training of these
young people. They have not been
taught to respect the rights of others,
aad they have net bee* trained so
that they are able to earn enough
money to permit them to live as
thoee about them are living. The
fault is not altogether with the young
criminals. It takes a wise Judge to
deal with such characters. Taken as
a whole, oar courts are meeting with
the situation admirably.
Surry County pays son iaeotne tax into 11m treasury
of the iUU thu uy other county la thin district except
Fongrfh.
Surry County has mora automobiles within h«r border*
than aay county hi this district except Forsyth.
Surry County pays mors gasoline tax for the up-keep
of stat* roads than aay othar county In this district ex
cept Forsyth.
Surry County pays mors automobile license tax into the
stats fund than aay othar county In this district except
Foisyth.
Yet we trail alone at the foot of the list of road mileage
and appropriations for state roads.
And Surry's representatives la the legislature have all
to loss and nothing to gain In supporting aay of the ap
peals for additional road money unless ttere can be se
cured reliably assurances that this county' will share in a
just and equitable division of the state road funds.
