Auto Hits Pole
No jOtye Hurt; little
Damage DOB* to
Automobile
A Dpdge coach,, owned aad driven
by Mr. Lake Lamb, at Wliaac, went
into k ditch on Watts street about 11
o'clock last night, knocking flat a
light pole unci throwing all the sec
tion of town across the railroad ill
darkness.
It is understood that the car went
into the ditch when its driver attempt
ed to make a turn at the corner ol
Main and Watts Streets and the steer
ing apparatus locked. The car could
not be stopped until it had made a
head-first plunge into the deep ditch
and had felled the pole. Damage not
to exceed $2 was done to the car,
while the. electric light and'power de
partment of the town suffered a dam
age estimated to be around S3O. All
or New Town was placed in darkness
when one of the primary wires on the
pole gave way. ,With the high volt-J
age carried by the wires, it is little;
less than a wonder that some one was
not seriously injured, for the wires
were only a few inches from the
group. As it happened, no one was
hurt either in the wreck or by the
fallen pole and wires.
The superintendent of the power de
partment was called and the current
cut off from that part of town.
The wrecking crew of the William
s-ton Motor Co. removed the car from
the ditch this morning, while lines
men are spending the greater part
of today repairing the broken wires
and pole.
Number Farmers Are
Losing Tobacco Money
The old game of standing around
the tobacco markets and calling for
the farmers' checks at the delivery
window is still being played by the
"slickers." -----
Numerous cases of this sort are
occurring in the State every week.
Most of these caseß occur after tfte
thief has grown very familiar with
the farmer and learns well how to
duplicate him when he catls for the
checks and when he jrets them cashed.

Statistics for County
Figures just announced from the
Department of Commerce at Washing
ton show the number of marriages
in North Carolina in 1924 was 23,190
and in 1925 23,337, which figures six
tenths of one per cent increase.
The number of divorces ih the State
was 1,468 in 1924 against 1,676 in
1925, a percentage Rain of 7.4.
Martin County had 198 marriages
in 1924 and 199 in 1925. A great im
provement in the divorce court is
shown in the fact that there were 15
divorces in 1924 and only 8 in 1925.
Guilford County led the State last
year with 100 divorces. Buncombe led
in 1924 with 102. Currituck County
did not have a divorce in either year.
The counties with rural population
were low in divorces, while those with
the larger towns have the higher
rate of divorces granted.
