that, h -liquor truck was coming

ordered a tnVk to stop. Ono of the!
0|M?rat0is of the truck opened f re, |
and a general battle ensued, in which
one deputy sheriff was killed and
a mail truck operator also lost h:s
life. It was a ghastly mistake for the
ofl'-'wnvi twre holding up a contract
mail truck. The mail men thought
the officers were hghwaymen and
the. officers believed the mail men
to be rum runners. 1'ncle Sam's mail,
bags, r'ddled with bullets were ex.. i
hib'ted at the comnor's inquiry. All
of which pmves my contention that
before officers are allowed to hold
up ve'iiclcs on the highways, they
should <;< required to wear uniforms
that are plainly recognizable, prov
ing them to be oflictrs of the law.
Nobody oeept the lawless will fre
on off?er< but almost anybody willi
resist what is bel-oved to be a hold
up. Such requirement In the law
would prevent- such tragedies as that
in New Hrnover, and they have be

at least they are i|ot worrying about

or th" installment payment or the

that Mr. Ford is up tio his old tricks
and .succeeded in putting over on the
papers free advertising that would
come to many thousands of dollars,
if he had to pay ft>r it, which he
wouldn't do. But I don't blame him
