Tuesday, July 14, 1936 Recklessness Takes Its Toll Try out your car on your own premises and not on the public highways, because others are using the highway-. which were built for public use and public safety and not for foolish experimentation. The roads belong to no one man; they Icelong to the public for common use. and the man who uses it in a careless manner and under circumstances where he is unable to control the machine and then plunges into his, neighbor's car and kills him is only a murderer. Sunday morning four colored men were trying out their car. running on the wrong side of the road at a very high rate of speed, and in attempting to avoid hitting a car driven by Mr. L. H. Rouse their car turned over several tunes and three of the negro occu pants were killed outright, but not until Mr. Rouse's car was upset and he was crippled and broken up, alss Guilford Warren and Herbert Hopkins, riding with him. All this was brought about because of careless, fast driving, with no one left to answer for the wrong Something musL be done to. curb such recklessness. Intimidating Witnesses ' Miss MaTgaret Bell, a government witness in the recent case against Charles Luciano, convicted head of a $12,000,000 white slave trust in New York City, was this week found bound and placed in a kitchen with four gas jets turfied on. General indication? pointed to the fact that the gangland crowd had fol lowed her from New York to Washington for the pur pose of getting her out of the way; and had sought ing again as a witness. This constitutes one of the worst features of law lessness, the lawbreakers attempting tin intimidate wIThessesr" OhF~or~Ttr<rTnooii5hiner? will sometimes intimidate a whole community, causing the people to l>e afraid of testifying in court against these law breakers. They fear the burning of their dwellings or barns, the slaying of their stock, or |>erhaps being waylaid and shot through a window at night them selves. Gangsters keep the public afraid to talk. In the case of Margaret Bell, who testified that she was tak en as a white slave victim at 16 and held for years as such, the ring had lost its power to hold her lung ers and sought to end her life in order that others will be afraid to testify against them. Time To Name Commission We are wondering what Governor Khringhaus is going to do with the law authorizing him to appoint a commission to determine what counties the state is indebted to for money loaned to the state for road building and how much. The last legislature passed such a law, but so far the governor has failed to appoint such a commission. He now has time to make his a|>pointmenls, although such a commission will not have any too much time in which to nuke a careful study and prepare a re port for the next legislature. Mr. George Ross, the highway commission attor ney, is opposing any refund by the state to the coun ties, rlniminp that the expenditures were for the ben efit of private trade for the counties. However, such a premise is not true, because the Martin County con tributions were used to build roads that are now a^ part of the national highway's main line from New York, to Florida, which should place this county in a preferred class when the road refunds are consid ered. ? Your Child's World Hertford County Herald. What is printed below was clipped from an edi torial published last week by W. O. Saunders in his F.lizabeth City Independent. Although it was used by htm a* an introduction to a. subject foreign to our purpose in reproducing it here, we clipped it because it gives expression to an attitude toward public af lu ? ???..riViy "t rondderation bfr every par cnt, and every person who is interested in more than the enjoyment of the passing moment. It embodies, we think, a philosophy that would, if practiced sin cerely and by a greater number of people, make this a better world in which to leave one's children. He says: "I am not an old man. Not yet. And, although I may no longer be called a young man, I still have youth in my heart. I like to think that my interests are the interests of Youth. I find myself thinknig more and more of my children and the grandchildren who will outlive me. * "In planning for these children and. grandchildren I have no wish or desire to leave them a heritage of cash and bonds that could be easily dissipated or wrested from them. I would leave them, rather, a heritage of good health, common sense, industry, self reliance and character in a world dedicated to the principles of fair play and equality of opportunity. The kind of world they are going to live in is of paramount concern to me and to you. I am there fore compelled, in the interest of my children, my grandchildren and of youth everywhere, to battle in cessantly against all trends and forces that would de ny them, an abundant life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. "What sort of world I live in from now on matters little, but it is of momentous concern to all of us that the world, our successors?our children?live in, shall lie a world that imposes positive restraints upon all predatory interests and forces. "I want my children and your children to live in a world subscribed to universal peace and which gives more than lip service to the concept of a brotherhood of man. ? "I ftanl them to live in a world in which human rights shall forevermore transcend all property rights. "I demand for my children and your children the social security that can only come out of a world characterized by an enlightened devotion to the ideals of |>eace, liberty, equality of opportunity, and fair play in all human relations." Prosperity * Scotland AYck Commonwealth. Glance for a moment at the listings of payrolls throughout the county during the past -six mnnthit and compare them with the same listings three years ago. The change is miraculous. It is granted that recovery from a depression is a natural process; for it is difficult to drown ambition, and modern Man is filled with that. Yet with the complex civilization which we have today and with the severe wants throughout the country, recovery is a process which one cannot wait to come normally. It must be aided artificially and withoutside stimulants. The present administration has made mistakes: we all admit that, but show us one administration in the history of the world that has not made mistakes. We are intelligent enough today to profit by our errors. While we may not be prosperous from a monetary standpoint we are wealthy in experience. Today we fuss about hard times, yet someday, it we remember. wo ihall lie guided by that experience and profit ac cordingly. There is no possession so dear as experi ence. We have gained through the depression. And we still are gaining. No one denies that. But it is noth ing more than an opportunity. If we attempt to capitalize u|x>n it, we shall move upward on the lad der of life; if we attempt to ignore it, then we dis close nothing more than our ignorance. New Process Used By Local Geaner " A new procee* of clothe* clean ing that render* clothes moth proof while they are being cleaned, Jurt recently been instituted by the Service Cleaners. This method, known as the Monite Moth-proof Cleaning Process, is absolutely harm leas, odorless, and non-poisonous. Mr. Coy Lamm, of the Service Cleaners, explained that the process involves the use of a special chemi cal solution in the regular cleaning fluid, and that fabrics so treated are made moth-resistant in every fibre It was pointed out that any other method of moth proofing is less ef ficient, since creases, seams, and hems might be overlooked or be ac tually Inaccessible. The Service Cleaners is William ston's exclusive licensee for the Mo nite process, that privilege having been extended tliesu by tl.<= Monite Company, of St. Louis, Mo. Garments treated by the Monite process are insured against moth damage for a period of six months. The insurance offered by the Serv ice Cleaners is carried by one of the country's larger insurance com panies. ?... Mr. Lamm also stated that while this process is worth untold money to the people of Williamston, we are offering it without one cent ad ditional cost over our regular clean ing prices.'' DK V. H.

The first six men in the regular batting or der of the team are now hitting .300 or better?with the exception of Har vey Black, with .293, and he is more than making up for the difference by his total-base and runs-batted-in figures, leading the team in both par ticulars. To take up the batting order, how would you like to be an op posing hurler faced with this array: Gay lord, 311; Corbitt, .300; Walters, .311; Black, 293, and averaging nearly two bases per hit; Ferrell, .310; and Douglass, .317? In addition, Henry House has been hitting better than .300 for the past two weeks, although his slow start is still holding doom his season average. Then, there's Gooae Armstrong, utility man extra ordinary, with a mark of .308. Put "Slim" Gardner into this line-up to pitch, with his batting average of .417; and you have a complete team that is hitting well above .300. The average for the whole squad, includ ing all the pitchers, is now .280, decidedly better than the 258 of just two weeks ago. Corbitt leads in runs scored, total hits, two-baggers, and stol en bases." Armstrong and Walters are tied with 3 triples apiece. Black is showing the way with home runs, with 7, followed by Walters with 6 and Ferrell with 5 Douglass and House have two each. Black is also out in front in total bases and runs batted in.
