V . / VOLUME XXX—NUMBER 44 Motor Official Says Accidents Are Decreasing Glves Credit to New- Laws Which Became Effective July Ist In expressing the belief that acci dents on North Carolina highways have decreased since the new uniform motor vehicle code went into effect July 1, C. W. Roberts, vice president of the Carolina Motor Club, today an nounced that the organization will make permanent a $25 reward for in formation leading to the conviction of motorists who injure persons and fail to stop. Two months ago the club offered SSO for ;he arrest and conviction of "hit and run" drivers, and four re wards, totaling S2OO, have been paid. Ir. the four convictions only one de fendant was forced to serve a jail sentence. * "We have been convinced," said Mr. Roberts, "that this reward has caused many drivers to stop at the point of accident, as required by law, and we hope and believe it will eliminate' many accidents. In furtherance of this belief the Carolina Motor Club Will continue to pay a reward of $25 to any one who ascertains identity of n 'hit-and-run* driver and secures a conviction. We interpret a 'hit-and run' driver as one who injures a per son with a motor vehicle and refuses to stop. . "Since tlie new law \fcUit into elTec' a record of all highway accidents is required and while this will show a greater number of accident r.'poft •4), in my opinion, the actual number has been greatly decreased. Former ly all accidents were not recorded, and I do not believe there are near as many now as in the past. "There has been a most noticeable improvement in headlights on cars on the highways, and likewise a more videspread use of rear lights. I be lieve there is an improvement of 50 per cent already, and this percentage will constantly mount. I find that wagons, however, as a general rule, are not yet complying with the law requiring use of reflectors or lights at light, and since the law went into ef fect there have been several serious accidents due to failure of horse druwn vehicles to display lights or reflectors."

The fe.w. people present indicat ed the advent of a better day. There were only 25 people present, and but one woman among them, This num ber included tlv court, the officer:-,, attorneys; in fuct, it embraced the whole show. Ihe first case called Joseph J l '. Davenport, forged with whipping his wife. He ie 71 years old, while his wife is but 17. The only witness in the case was Mrs. Davenport, who stated that her lusband did whip, her slightly, u mounting to nothing more than a gen tle "brushing," and that he" did not hurt her in the least. Mie said the only weapon used was a small birch \ hip. The best part of her testimony came when she frankly said that her 11u.baud did right, that, he ctight t > have whipped her, us ah' called him a liar and deserved a 'whipping. The court caught the fine spirit of family reunion and susp aided judg ment upon the husband u, mi the con dition of his payii'ig the cost utd be having well in the future. The couple had a child, from ap pearance about a year ol I. Although the transposition of the ngures from 71 to 17 makes a difference of 54, the companionship of the pair seems to l>e almost perfect.
