.
ley will hold a meeting at 8
Inesday evening, Sept. 26, at

*
y The Rev. Winfrey Davis, pastor*
of the First Baptist church, Beau
fort, reported yesterday that the
new church will not be ready for
the 68th annual session of the At
lantic Baptist association Oct. 25
and 26. The First Baptist church
is host.
Construction on the church has
been extremely slow, mainly be
cause the contractor has been in
volved in numerous other construc
tion jobs, the pastor said. The con
tract was let for $42,000 to E. C.
Willis and Sons of Morchead City
more than a year ago. Construc
tion began about six months ago.
When the association convenes
in Beaufort next month, it will be
the sixth time the First Baptist
church has been host since the or
ganization of the association in
1884.
Dr. John H. Bunn, pastor of the
First Baptist church, Morehead
City, will deliver the annual asso
ciation sermon. He will also serye
as clerk for the 11th consecutive
year. M. Leslie Davis of Beaufort,
moderator, will round out 38 years
in that capacity.
The Beaufort church was host to
the association in 1891, 1901, 1921,
1931, and 1941. One session was
held there in 1875. The Atlantic
Baptist association includes
churches in Carteret, and parts of
Onslow, Craven, Jones, and Pamli
co counties.
The new sanctuary, of concrete
block construction with brick ve
neer, will be furnished with new
pews. It is being built next to the
present church on Ann street,
Beaufort.

July Highway j
Fatalities Make
New 1951 Record
Raleigh ? Carnage on the high

abated in July with 93 persons kill
ed and 1,362 injured, according to
the regularly monthly summary of
traffic accidents compiled by the
Department of Motor Vehicles.
Deaths and injuries from high
way mishaps in July were the high- '
est reported for the year. Deaths '
were up 18 per cent over the 79 i
fatalities reported in July 1950 and
personal injuries showed a 23 per j
cent increase over the same month i
last year.
The highest previous death toll i
was recorded in December 1950
when 110 persons were killed.
Of the 93 fatalities reported dur

crease in pedestrian fatalities. A
total of 12 pedestrian deaths was
reported in July with 10 of them
occurring in rural areas. There
were 111 pedestrians injured in the
same month. In July 1950 the de
partment recorded 18 pedestrian
death* and 77 -injured. Two mu
nicipalities reported one pedestrian
death each; they were Ashcville
and Crossnore.
Accidents in rural areas account
ed for the greater number of
deaths and injuries. Percentage
wise 89 per cent of the total num
ber of traffic fatalities reported to
the department occurred in rural
areas. Accidents occurring on U. S.
numbered highways claimed 43
lives and injured 459.
Twenty persons were killed and
198 injured on state-numbered
highways and wrecks on county and
local roads took 20 lives and in
jured 267.
The department noted the fol
lowing violations involved in acci
dents reported during July: 671
speeding violations; 687 drivers
failed to give the right-of-way; 540
were on wrong side of road; 313

Even Yankees Buy
Confederate Flags
By Austin Adklnson
Columbia, S. C. ? (AP)? The
Flag of the Confederacy wave? over
a lot of Yankee territory now,*
courtesy of Clarence T. Langley.
Confederate flags in various
sizes are fast-moving items in
Langley's flag workshop and store
here.
Helping to revive interest in the
Southern flag is the training at
nearby Fort Jackson of the 31st
(Dixie) Infantry Division.
Originally an Alabama-Missis
sippi National Guard outfit, the
division now is laced liberally with
Yankees. Its flag is the Confeder
ate Stars and Bars.
And a transplanted Yankee, as
any Southerner can tell you, often
works up more interest in the south
and southern lore in a short stay
than some natives do in a lifetime.
Of course there always is some
local demand for Confederate flags.
This apparently has been increased
by the flag fad the soldiers started.
Langley finds the two-by-three
foot battleflag the most popular
of the banners he makes bere.
This has the familiar white-starred
blue cross on a ?d Odd.
