No. XXIII, No. 3 WARN OF DANGER TO CHILDREN WHO WALK OUT IN THE STREET School Asks Parents to Aid In Combating Evil DANGEROUS HABIT Alarmed over the way in which school children, especially the younger ones, swarm into the streets instead of remaining on the side walks while enroute either to or from school, local school authorities have asked that every parent join with them in a concerted effort to caution the children and help them be more careful while on their way to and from school. A number of near accidents have occurred on several occasions when a child has heedlessly dashed into the street in front of an approach ing automobile, and it is this thoughtlessness on the part of the children that the school authorities are attempting to combat. Two important rules in safety education, authorities point out-, are (1) cross streets carefully and (2) walk on the sidewalks instead of on the streets. The situation here is especially bad during the lunch hour when the students are on their way home. Many congregate on street corners awaiting a ride home which re sults in much double parking and the danger of other students step ping from behind one of these double-parked cars into the path of an approaching automobile, while attempting to cross the street.

I ATE NEWC from the State and Nation Mob Beaten Off Salisbury, Md., Nov. 28.—A mob of more than a thousand men stormed the state armory here today in an unsuccessful ef fort to free the four men accused of participating in last month's lynching at Princess Anne.

C v THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1933 HEMRIC BEING HELD IN YADKIN JAIL AS RESET OF SMASHUP Two Killed, 5 Injured In Collision At Brook's Cross Roads ONE WAS-RUM CAR Clyde Hemric, alleged driver of the car which last Thursday night crashed into the machine driven by Littleton Pinnix, near Brook's Cross Roads and resulted in the death of two and injuries to five others, is in jail at Yadkinville awaiting pre liminary hearing on a number of charges, having been removed from the local hospital Sunday by Yadkin county officers. Rumors here to the effect that Hemric had been released under $3,000 bond were proven false Wed nesday afternoon in a telephone mes sage from the office of the Sheriff of Yadkin county. It is pos sible, it was learned, that the young man will be charged with man slaughter, assault and battery with a deadly weapon, careless and reck less driving transporting whisky. However, in the opinion of many, Hemric was not responsible for the accident and may have to face only a liquor charge when he confronts superior court. Other injured people involved in the wreck have been dismissed from the local hospital, it was learned Wednesday morning. Death hovered over the highway Thursday night when two cars, one with 75 gallons of whisky aboard, crashed a short distance west of Brook's Cross Roads on the North Wilkesboro road. Two were killed and five injured. Those to meet death in the acci dent were Mrs. Frank Pinnix, 65, of Brook's Cross Roads, and C. W. All red, 23, of Winston-Salem. Mrs. Pinnix was killed instantly. Allred died enroute to the local hospital. Those injured, none of them ser iously, were Littleton Pinnix, bruises and lacerations; Mrs. Dallas Wiles, of Hamptonville, bruises and shock; Ruby Wiles, Mrs. Wiles' daughter, broken collar bone. Each of the above was in the machine driven by Mr. Pinnix. Clyde Hemric, said to be the driver of the liquor car, suffered a ■ (Continued on Last Page) TO SUE GOVERNOR FOR $1,000,000 Claimed That He In cited Lynching of Kidnapers San Jose, Calif., Nov. 28.—Pub lic opinion here today apparently was agreed that Jack Holmes and Thomas Thurmond met a justified fate when they were lynched in a public square Sunday night. Members of Holmes' family, how ever, were preparing to institute a $1,000,000 damage suit against Governor James Rolph, Jr., and other public officials, contending that the governor "incited" the lynching. Announcement of the suit was made by Vincent W. Hallinan and Nathan C. Coghlan, who had been retained as counsel for Holmes last Saturday. Governor Rolph, they said, will be charged with inciting the lynch ing of the two men on the ground "that his publi£ statement before the lynching inflamed the mob spir it and caused the hangings; that af ter the mob began storming the Jail, he refused to uphold the law as sworn to do as the state's chief executive; that after the lynching he condoned the crime of mob vio lence." Officials of Santa Clara county and of the city of San Jose will be charged with failure to take proper' precautions to prevent the mob from seizing Holmes, the attorneys said. San Francisco authorities likewise will be named in the dam age action because they permitted Holmes and Thurmond to be trans ferred from the city prison there to the San Jose jail without a com plaint being filed against them, "a violation of law whereby the pris oners were exposed to lynching." Friends of Mrs. Bertelle lineberry Price will regret to know that her condition shows little improvement. Mrs. Price reentered Hugh Chatham hospital the latter part of last week tor further treatment. —i'._ i i ■ _ T Is Honored By Elkin Kiwanians Br ii Br tIIII I w -• ir y-iJBKm f i WMm Nr ** I ■ wwmm *" IJl " J WJPWWA".'I Hl JHHP Wk v # k * ; JSks ■L Dr. L.
