The world seems all out of
whack when you walk onto a
murder scene.
So it was in the humble dwell
ing of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Casn
Jr. on Monday night. Long-time
residents of the Lystra communi
ty near Farrington, the young
couple lived in a small resident
ial neighborhood in the rolling
farm country of upper Chatham
eight miles south of here.
All day Monday, it seemed,
something dead wrong was brew
ing. Mrs. Cash’s sister and next
door neighbor—Mrs. Cary Tripp
—sensed something was wrong.
The 35-year old sawmill worker
didn’t go to work, and was seen
around the community in an
intoxicated state.
His wife spent most of the day
at her sister’s, though her hus
band drove past them to their
two-room cottage several times
during the day. A little before
supper Mrs. Cash returned home,
and shortly therefter her hus
band came in. Within minutes
murder and then suicide struck
the house.
The mute evidence figuratively
shouted the tragedy when you
entered the tiny bedroom. To the
left was the husband—a lanky,
balding chap of about 30—still
holding the death weapon in his
hands as he lay slumped against
the dressing table. Across from
him on the bed was his wife-
killed at close range by a blast
from the double-barreled .gun.
Her wallet—containing $52 in
wages from the Carrboi’o Mills,
was under the pillow and another
empty wallet lay on a radio by
the bed. In the corner was the
television set. And in the other j
corner the wardrobe closet box
completed the furnishings of the
room.
In someways their surroundings
bespoke the contributing reasons
for their twin deaths. Yet it all
seemed so wrong and so unnec
essary. Looking on the death
scene everyone seemed, struck
with the tragedy of it—even to
the sheriff and coroner, hardened
by many similar sights. “Why”
seemed to be the unspoken ques
tion of the investigators in the
tiny room.
“Why”—and 'the possible an
swers to this question, was on
the lips of the throng of neigh
bors and the curious who gath
ered in the front yard and look
ed in silence as the bodies were
carried out to the undertaker’s
limousine.

CAREFULNESS
PREVENTS FIRES!
INSURANCE
PRE VENTS LOSS!
The Three Most Important Causes Of Fire, Are
Men ... Women .. and Children
A
Did you know that only about 10% of the nation’s fires are started by natural
causes? Did you know that nearly a thousand people per month lose their lives in
fires? Did youiknow that more than a half million dollars in destruction of property
occurs in annual fires? Yes, this is'the shocking prospect of loss our nation faces
each year. But the most shocking aspect of all, is that most of this loss could have
been prevented by YOU . . . YOU ... and YOU.
Fire Prevention is everybody’s business . . . every minute . . . every day! Check your
home, your job, your car . . . keep them safe from ffre hazards. Keep all inflamma
ble waste properly stored or properly burned. Snuff out lighted matches. Watch out
for faulty wiring,^ inflammable liquids, gas leaks, etc. Keep matches out of reach
of children. Be sure and you’ll never be sorry! And, to guard against losses from
fire, carry enough insurance. But, your best insurance always and all ways ... is
FIRE PREVENTION!
