The story told is that as the oaf was en route from Bmporie armed men appeared in the highway, and Mr. Rigtoiby speeded up the vehicle. The menVpened fire but Mr, Itiggsby sped onward despite the fact that a Ford automobile had been parked across the highway in the effort to prevent passage by another car. How ever, other armed men came from the brush along the road and in front of the ear and began firing as the Itissby automobile approached, it is stated, and this firing continued even after the ear had passed. Mr. Itiggsby rushed to Roanoke Rapids, where officers of that city , stopped the ear, having been advised in the interim by Emporia authorities to be on the lookout for the car which apparently was suspected of being en gaged in liquor running. Search of the ear revealed no liquor, it was stated. Mrs. Perkins, with whom Mr. Riggsby boards here, was given medical attention at Roanoke Rapids hospital and the wound 'was later dressed by a local physician. Institution of legal action looking to redress in - the matter is proposed by Mr. Riggsby. it is stated, and he was reported to be in Roanoke Rapids this afternoon in conference with at torneys looking toward the institu tion of action to this end.

WASHINGTON —How much foretell diplomats In Wash ington drink Is none of Sec retary of State Kellogg’s affair, but if an embassy or legation receives more alcoholic refresh ment than Its entire staff can Possibly consume, the quesUon arises, “What becomes of the sur plus?” Secretary Kellogg has cer tain suspicions on this score, which die has confided to the foreign rep resentatives to whom they apply. That is to say, he addressed to them a polite but pretty plain lit tle note, trusting that hencefor ward they’ll keep their antl-Vol- Stead importations down to what they really need for themselves and 'for themselves alone. •• • „ TiE diplomats this communica tion went to are by no means all from dinky little countries, •ither. Some among them bear V - -MURDER, V Charlotte Observer. A long indifferent .public i« now be ing aroused to the fact that murder iq g dreadful thing.. It take an af fair like that whil'h was reported in Sunday's paper front Rockjitgfiam to arouse the people to realization. The shock would have been but little loss If the story had told of a preacher of tfie. Gospel;, wqlkiog quietly .and calmly from the door of his mause apd shooting down some individual against whom he might have hail grievance, imaginary or real, for few preachers could bear a more “irre proachable” character, or hold higher standing in church gnd cpmmunity tl)a(i was the character of the man wtlio walked deliberately from the door of. 'his business office and shot down an overseas man who was seated in ati automobile by the sidewalk, evi dently not suspecting impending peril and "possibly unaware of any respon sibility for an aroused resentment, even of mild nature, much less resent ment of so violent a character as to inspire the murderous intent. But it' is ngt to be supposed that there 1 \vs£ ko grievance of any kind. The ! victim had given mortal offense of some sort, or the slayer must have ' hard, some suddenly fetal disturbance of mind. The dead man can say 1 nothing in his own defense; the slay er has elected to make no statement I and the public must await the de - tails as they come out in the hear ■ ing that is to follow. Perhaps the Rockingham affair is destined to take 1 place as one of the mest notable on 1 the state's murder book. * But as we have indicated, it lias’ ■ required an occurrence of this nature * to' 1 arouse the peqple into apprecia - tilflf-of a condition which has over whelmed society. Dreadful a thing as murder is. it has become almost a 1 matter-of-fact occurrence. Only last 1 week the State board of health, one of whose duties is certification of I causes of death, issued statement in which the fact was releaved that dur . ing the year 1924, as many as 299 homicides stained the records of North Carolina. This is a contribution of "more than the state's quota to the crime wave," as significantly stated by the board’s letter. Reference is also made to Chicago’s murder record of almost one a day, and regretful ad mission is made that in this particular our state ranks “well up in the fore front.” Some facts are submitted upon which the people of the state might well reflect in serious mood. The letter states that typhoid fever was not so long ago a large factor in the death rate of the state. It ■ has been one of the causes of death against which both state and local health authorities have waged a ma jor offensive. Now murder and au tomobile accidents each levies a great- EVERETT TRUE BY CONDO ’ MY4 NtA Mew JHeis / N CONPeRG-NCS, : ev©R.&TT I anj d He ords-Rs V (M«e in J NO T,TO Be x-(stdoss'd. tO See TbtCS f lAiOUCD YOU LIKE PR4SA|!PeMT TO CGAVO /AMY Op- -n-HS.

The intimation that bootlegging is believed to be going on from their official residences in Washington must have reached them as a good deal of a Jolt. It isn’t the first time, however, that it’s been broadcast from extremely well-informed sources, though nev er before from the Department of State.

LINCOLN Q. ANDREWS, the rather new assistant sec retary of the treasury in espe {iai charge of prohibition enforce ment, is said to have given Secre tary Kellogg his tip. It isn't a bit likely that Secretary Kellogg want ed news of his note to leak out. The story, however, unquestion ably is true. j er annua! toll of human life than does this Once prevalent and dreadful dis ease. The records show more than double the number of negro victims among the homicides as compared with the white. The distribution is !>4 white, 201 negro, >nd four Indians. The homicides are divided into four elas i sifieatimis. Os the total, 235 were killed with firearms. 47 by knives or other piercing instruments, six were babies killed closely following birth, and eleven were killed by other means. Oh, .the law! the law ! Was ever institution more defiantly trampled tinder foot? Kor disrespect for the law and disregard for the courts of justice is* the foundation upon which the “crime wave” is based. America’s Largest Bank Advertisers. Philadelphia Record. IMie largest bank in the Western Hemisphere is the National City Rank, of New York. In Monday’s paper it had a five cblumn advertise ment announcing the opening of its seventh place of business, exclusive of its head office in Wall street, where “National City banking and invest ment service is available.” In thjs advertisement it says: “When you pass by or when you come in—as we hope you will—you wilt notice that it does not look like the ordinary place where banking busi ness is conducted. That, however, is because we are trying to make our uptown branch offices look like any store or place of business making a frank bid for tile custom and trade of those interested in goods or service. -In our ease, it is service rather than goods that we are merchandising. “ 'Service' is a much overworked word. It run mean much cr little, depending both on the ability and the* willingness of an institution to ac tually render it.” Then follows a list of what that great bank means by “service.” In a broad sense it is serving a far wid er constituency when it gives the pres tige and power of its name to the use of newspaper advertising space ex pecting results which will come sure ly in ihe further growth and develop ment of its business.
