REPRESENTING FOUR COUNTIES—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH and FRANKLIN THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY SMALL TOWN COMMUNITY PAPER IN NORTH CAROLINA. VOLUME 1. NUMBER 32 CHAMBER MEMB’S HOLD BANQUET To Take Place This, Friday, Evening At Hotel Clayton The members of the Chamber of Commerce will hold a banquet at Hotel Clayton this Friday evening, January 22. It is expected that prominent men from other towns will be here, and talks on various topics pertaining to this section, will be discussed. These banquets are held to get our business men together so they can discuss matters that is of in terest to every one. Every merchant and business man in Zebulon should belong to the local Chamber or affiliate with the East ern Chamber in such away that the whole community will be benefitted. We are soon to have another fur niture store in our town. This en terprise is welcomed by everyone. Also there is another concern that will begin the preparation of a pile medicine here in the near future. We are told that many change| will be made by the older concerns soon—all for the betterment of Zeb ulon. We have a knitting mill that is standing idle in our city. This mill should be put in operation at once. There are plenty of people waiting for such chances that we have right here at home. If the Chamber of Commerce will get busy and let these advantages that Zebulon have be known it will not be long before there will be astring of enterprises in our town that will add materially to the pay-roll of Zebulon. This is b what we want, and we must have it before we make much progress. We have a few paved streets, and side-walks that are a credit to any town the size of Zebulon, but we need more paved streets and side walks, we need more houses, for the people to live in, we need more busi ness houses, we need more progress ive merchants along with those we - already have, to make our town grow faster. Rumor has it that the Coast Line is thinking of coming in from Spring Hope on its way to Rale gh. We should get busy and try to get the road to come by Zebulon. There is , also talk of another county being formed from parts of Wake, John * ston, Nash and Franklin. Where will the county seat be located? Zeb .j ulon should get busy and make her < county seat located here. V S claims strong enough to get the The Record desires to see strong organized Chamber of Commerce here—not just a few members—but h make it 100 per cent of our business j men. Every one will profit by such -jj. an organization.

The order, which was signed on the basis of a vitroli ccomplaint filed by Willie M.

WRECKS DOUBLE IN SIX MONTHS The number of accidents on the State highw-ays in the past six month more than doubled the number dur ing the first six months of 1925. There were 1,072 accidents reported from July 1, 1925, to January 1. 1926, and 497 from January 1 to July 1, 1925, according to a report made yes theday by the State Highway Com mission. These figures do not include ac cidents on cunty roads, or city streets other than those included in the state highway system, nor unreported accidents on the State’s highways. The number of deaths and the number of injured during the last six months nearly doubled the fig ures for the first half of the year, the report showing 76 killed the lat ter half of the year and 54 the first half. The injured amounted to 886 during the last part of the year and 469 the first part. Speeding leads both lists of fig ures for causing the most fatal acci dents while careless driving comes next, and intoxicated drivers comes third.

C., FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1926 AXIOMS OF PUBLIC POLICY TOWARD RAILROADS The railroads of the United States are vital to our industrial life. Government has not been per fected to the point adequately to manage the rail roads. Government regulation is a permanent in stitution which should be progressively improved. Within the lines marked out by government regulation, management should be permitted to function without interference. Logical, fair and sound consolidation should be promoted. The legitimate financial needs of the railroads should be officially recognized and adequately pro vided for through rates. Investment in railroad securities should be en couraged by government through the provision by regulation of moderate but continuous net earnings. This not to be construed as a governmental guar antee.—Edwin O. Edgerton, Former President, Cali fornia State Railroad Commission. YOUNG MAN HOLD-UP CROWD Stranger In Norlina Make Get-A-way From Officers Norlina, Jan. 18.—A daring rob bery and holdup was perpetrated at Norlina about four o’clock Monday morning when the baggage and mail room at the station was broken into ! and two pouches of mail labelled “to ! Norlina” stolen. Jim German and Bashaw Sherrin, j two negroes who handle mail and | baggage at Norlina, went out to work | ‘ rain No. 6 which arrived at about j 4 a. m. and when they returned they | found the lock on the baggage room , door broken. They notified the night 1 clerk who called chief W. N. Carter. The chief accompanied by several | local citizens began to look around the lots back of the stores and saw ] a young white man about twenty j five years of age step off of the i back steps of Lloyd’s store. Follow j ing him the group landed in Frank I Weldon’s case. There Carter stepped up to the young man saying “I guess ! I had better look you over.” In a second the chief was looking into the muzzle of an ugly 44 and greeted with the words “stand back, don’t you bat your eye.” When others attempted to intercede they were told: “Back up boys, I don’t want to hurt you.” They “backed up.” It is said the desperado made quite a speech saying, “I am not going to j be arrested, I know it means the pen itentiary," He also told the crowd that he had a car of liquor down the road which they could have, but they could not have him. F'rank Weldon had his gun handy I hut did not think best to use it, hut j when asked to take a short walk j down the street with the young man I where the latter said he would sur render his gun complied with the re quest. After Weldon had walked a short distance the young man said “I guess I won’t give you my gun. you I might shoot me—fceat it.” Weldon obeyed and his companion has not been seen or heard from since. Whether this young man was the one who robbed the mail and bag •gage room there is no way of telling It is probable that he was. Special agents of the Seaboard have been here all day and the Postoffice noti fied. GIRLS AND BOYS LOSE TO VISITING TEAMS j Wednesday night the girls of Wake lon did their best to win over Selma Girls. The visitors were better in training and have played more than the home team as some of our girls played for thir first time. They did some good playing if it was the first \ time out.
