Reports from the North

here indicate that an adequate
supply of labor for handling
the tobacco harvest will be
available this season. Al
ready, many workers have
been booked for work in to

Take li Easy On
July Fourth And
Be Alive On Filth
Nearly Seven Hundred Peo
ple Lout Liies Celebrat
ing July 4 Lad Year
Chicago.—Don’t make your steer
ing wheel a wheel of chance -
because you bet your life!
That advice came from the Na
tional Safety Council as the na
tion approached the Fourth of
July holiday, one of the most
dangerous periods of the year.
With traffic fatalities on the
increase this year - up 9 per cent
so far - the Coucil is coordinating
a nationwide campaign to hold
down the usual upsurge in Inde
pendence Day accidental deaths.
One hundred and sixty - three
national organizations, as well as
state antj eity public officials, ate
cooperating in the effort.
Last Fourth of July almost 700
persons were killed by accidents
of all kinds during the three-day
holiday. Many more died later
as the result of injuries received
during the celebration. Traffic
accidents ware the chief killer,
alone accounting for about 300
deaths.
The Council expects more plea
sure-seeking motorists to pile in
to more cars and roll up more
miles on this holiday and the
week-end preceding it than ever
before in the country's history.
For many it will be a four-day
vacation. More than 36 million
motor vehicles will be on the
move.
The increasing number of new
cars on the road and the sub
stantial rise in gasoline consump
tion tins year indicate a heavy
death toll - unless everone is
fully aware of the holiday hazards
and makes a real effort to avoid
them.
“Holidays are hazard days,”
said Ned H. Rearborn, president
of the Council. "When you take
a change on the highway you are
gambling - and the stakes are
human lives. You can’t afford to
lose in this game
“Police and those who have au
thoritative control over public
safety will be especially alert and
vigorous in their enforcement of
sane rules of public behavior. But

In Fonihination Case
Cast Monday
Among the few cases heard
in the local justice of peace courts
during the past few days were
several charging violation of the
law "requiring immunization of
dogs against rabies. Reports state
that while hundreds of citations
were issued, comparatively few
cases actually reached the courts.
Most of the owners either dis
posed of their dogs or had them
vaccinated.
Charged with not complying
with the dog vaccination taw,
David Stancill, Herman Lilley,
and Eddie Hardison were sen
tenced to jail by Justice Chas.
R. Mobley for ten days. The jail
terms were suspended upon the
payment of the costs and on con
dition that they dispose of or have
their dogs vaccinated. It was
pointed out that Hardison had had
his dag vaccinated, but not until
a warrant was issued.
Llyod Price, charged with vio
lating the dog vaccination law,
proved in court that he had com
plied with the Law, that he forgot
to report to the inspector and the
case against him was dismissed.
Although hundreds of citations
were issued, directing owners to
have their dogs vaccinated or
killed, very few warrants have
been served in the county.
Charged with simple assault,
Carroll and Ed G. Price were said
to have engaged in a dangerous
practice when they threw young
boys who could not swim into
an ole swimming hole near
Jamesville. Warned against the
practice, they were taxed with
the costs by Justice Mobley.
Frank Simmons was taxed with
the cost by Justice Mobley on a
simple assault charge.

excellent progress yesterday in
the construction of a new road

The new stretch',a will cover
104 miles, utilizing sections of

Breaking diiwn under a lint

this county and the harvest is
getting under way on a large
scale with all-out activities sched

Farmer William Ilogerson
started the harvest on the 17th
of this month.. A few followed
last week, and the work was re

section of the county this week,

Reports from the first cures
but the activities were fairly
are very encouraging, several
farmers declaring the quality is
good and that there is weight.
' Black shank is becoming serious
for many farmers in nearly
every part of the county. Losing
a portion of his crop by disease,
Farmer Clarence Wallace said
earlier in the week he planned
to transplant about one-quarter
acre, more as an experiment than
anything else.
Heavy rains followed by a re

tobacco to flop in some areas,
but the crop, as a whole, is rated
among the best seen in this sec

Other crops are looking good,
too, and farmers,, for the most

W. W. Bijjgs
Samuel Jones, nine years old,
lost his life in the municipal
swimming pool here late Tuesday
afternoon, the apparent victim of
drowning. No formal inquest will
be held, but an investigation was
made by Acting Coroner W.
W Biggs It was report
ed that a bruise was found
on the lad's left temple, indicat
ing that he had hit the side of the
pool when he jumped into the
water, and that he went down
into eight feet of water without
a chance to call for help.
It was also reported that his
mother, a spectator at the pool,
had warned the lad against jump
ing into the water He had had
his tonsils removed a short time
ago and it was his second visit
to the pool this summer. He could
swim and was seen diving in and
coming out of the. pool several
times
According to unofficial reports
Life Guard Bobby Rogers saw
the youth dive into the pool and
come out about 4:30 or 4.35
o'clock. A short time later, Mrs.
Jones missed the boy. Thinking
he had left the pool she went
to her home, a few blocks away,
to get clothes' laid out for him.
About 5:00 o'clock, Fletcher
Thomas, Jr., dived into the pool
and saw him lying on bottom.
Thomas came to the top and when
he did not see the boy come up,
he went back down and pulled
the body to the surface. Bobby
Carter, who had relieved Rogers
as life guard during the mean
time, pulled the lad from the pool.
Coach Stuart Maynard and a
member of a water safety class
administered artifical respira
tion for almost an hour before
a local physician pronounced him
dead.
Life Guard Carter was quoted
as saying that he did not see the
lad after he reported for duty.
While there was a large crowd lit
the pool during the afternoon
many of the children were quit
ting the pool between 4 30 and
5:00 o’clock for the day.
Coach Maynard of the local
high school faculty said the lad’s
body was almost rigid when Linen
