Alertness on the part of the high
way patrolmen in detecting imper
fect and worn out equipment is bein
called for by Captain Farmer, head
of the state highway patrol.
Blinding headlights being rec
ognizee! by highway authori
ties as one of the main causes of ac
cidents, the attention of the highway
patrolmen is being directed toward n
check up on the official headlight
testing stations. Many new stations
have been designated lit strategic
points throughout the state for the
convenience of the motorists.
This old law, sustained by the court
will effect countless citizens in the
counties in the state who hold a pub
lic office, while holdjng the commis
sion of a notary public.
Under the ruling, which was an
affirmation of a similar ruling handed
down lt years ago, the official acts
of all these dual office holders may
be questioned.
However, the wide mental stretch
which the Supreme Court takes in ar
riving at its majority decision was
made clear by Justice Connor in

Slightly more than a year ago
Miss Ferguson had pneumonia and
it left her with a weak heart. Since
that time her health had been far
from robust. Her parents took her
to Cleveland in the hone that an
operation there 'would be followed hy
her complete restoration to health.
The operation was considered suc
cessful but she was exceedingly, weak,
and fatality ensued.
Miss .Ferguson, who was reared in
Greensboro, graduated in high
school there- She was recognized as
a young woman of most attraeMv?
personality and was ejuite -popular
in the state as well as in Washington.-

the family moved there several years
ago when Mr. Ferguson was appoint
