Four Negroes Take To
Woods After Accident
Near Robersonville
MUCH LIQUOR FOUND
Obaenmra Said CalTwae Going Over
CO Mile* an Hoar When It
Left the Road »
With no one left to tell the details
and with no definite facts obtainable,
ii U thought that a negro by the
m.me of John A. Hargraves was on
hie way with three other negroes to
Wilson with their Christmas liquor
aboard last Wednesday morning
when his car was wrecked a mile this
side of Robersonville, on Highway
No. 90, and approximately ten gal
kns of liquor ran out on the ground.
Apparently the four negroes, two
women and two men, had supplied
themselves with approximately 18
gallons of Martin or Washington
county "corn" and were speeding on
.their way home when they wrecked
their automobile. It was tight after
they paaaed a car and, while tljey
were travelling more than 60
an hour that they literally took tbw
to themselves wings and flew into
Mr. Lester House's fleld along the
road. The wreck, in the making, was
described as a terrible sight. With
the car somersaulting, glass flying,
. . human beings falling out and the
liquor sending its strong perfume
out into the pure air, it was all over
in a minute. And like the Spartan
youth who suffered unbelievable pain
rather than be caught stealing, all
four of the car's occupants carried
their fresh wounds and scars to «
near-by Wood rather than fall into
the hands of the law. No capture was
made.
Chief William Gray, ot Roberson
ville, went to the scene of the wreck
and in taking an inventory he found
21 half-gallon jar tops, seven gallon
of liquor that bad gone through tit.-
wreck in the containers, and one
Chrysler 70 completely wrecked. The
occupants, in the rush, had "sold
out".
That night a strange negro enter
ed a doctor's office in Robersorurillr
and before the doctor could be called,
to administer aid, the stranger dis
appeared byway of a rear door. It
is thought he belonged to the party
of four in the wreck, and that hr
was frightened when he probably
believed an officer waa being sum
moned rather than a doctor.

CLUB HEARS OF\
WELFARE WORK
TC. T. Futrell Makes Able
Address to Kiwanians
Here Wednesday
the youth of today as
.our greatest asset and giving as his
oj'inion that we too often overlook
rtrr'¥hildren when our minds go out
t"» our big tobacco crops, fine roads
and the many natural resources, Mr.
k. T. Futrell, Pitt County Welfnrr
officer, made an able talk before the
local Kiwanis club last Wednesday on
the Welfare work carried on in his
county.
Mr. Futrell, in his talk, mentioned
a few activities carried on by the of
fice in our neighboring comity. He
cited school attendance, stating that
the Pitt county average attendance of
pupils from 8 to 14 years of age, was
8!» per cent, while that of Martin was
78 per cent last year. This large per
cuitage, it was pointed out, is due to
welfare work carried on in connection
"with that of the school authorities.
t Mother important feature o( the
\  ik done by the welfare department
there Is the handling of youthful
criminals, and wayward boys and
girls. Six hundred and fifty-six such
youths have been dealt with by him
in "and one-half years, 101
them during the past year. Some of
the.-;e unfortunates have been sent to
orphanages, some to training schools,
ii few to insane hospitals, some to
training schools for the wayward
and many to private families. Mr.
Putrell says this mothod of handling
the unfortunates is working splendid
ly and keeps society much cleaner
and safer than those cases where the
boys and girls are permitted to drift,
allowed to go from one crime to
another Until they become a real
menace to their people and to their
community.
Not only do the welfare workers
in Pitt specialize in that work In an
effort to help this typo of people,
tut go further and help the
deaf, dumb, blind and cripple. They \
now have 146 of their children and j
young people in the care of some in
