I injured 443 persons and smashed | up 509 automobiles in 351 accidents, j according to ligures made public to- j day by the s’rtistical bureau of the state department of revenue. This brings the total to 622 that have been killed :n automobile accidents in the first 3'. months of this year The numcer kille.d during Novem ber is 10 'ess than the fatal ac cidents in October although more were injured this month than last, j when only 409 were injured. The number of Tatal accidents and In-' jured was also smaller for Novem- j ber this year than in November. > 1923. when "7 were killed and 5701 injured i "While some slight progress seems to have beftn made in reducing the \ number of accidents, the number of j persons being killed and injured hi North Caroline each month in auto mobile accmcnts is still much too high,” said Commissioner A. J. Max -; well, commissioner of revenue. ] "Something must be done to curb the spirit of lawlessness and reck lessness of Automobile drivers to halt these accidents. I am hoping that during the Christmas season J and for the balance of this year, au tomobile drivers will be more care ful and m >re considerable of life 1 and property and that the total number of persons killed this year ; will not exceed the record of last : plays at Hollis last Saturday. Teachers meeting will not be held , next Wednesday night. Mr. Baxter Scruggs of Hollis p°nt the week-end with Mr. Luther | Walker. Mr. Gus McClure who has been | visiting in Woodlawn, Pa., returned j Saturday night. year, when 675 people were killed and 4.768 in j. red in automobile ac cidents." Recklessness and genera! dt;,re-{ gard of the Highway and motor ve hicle laws as usual caused the ma jority of the accidents and deaths, according h W. G. fepruill, head ot the statlstica’ division of the bureau In 42 accidents, ten of which wer fatal, excess'.’, e speed was given as the cause while in 51 other acci dents, in Ahull eight, were killed, reckless driving was the cause In 41 other a-c.dents the driver to blame did rot have the right of wav while in 14 others the accidents resulted from drivers “cutting In" in crowded traiiir, and 17 others from passing cars on the wrong sid»- of the road. Yhtre were 26 “hit and run" accidents, in which six were fatal. There were 41 accidents attributed to drunken drivers, in which seven persons were killed. The number of accidents attributed to intoxicat ed drivers always increases in the winter month.-, when some drivers think they must drink liquor in or der to keep warm. Only two persons were killed by trains at railroad crosisngs, although there were il crossing accidents The number of children killed in November Increased materially, with 14 less than 14 years of age having been killed. Etgh' of these were killed while playing in the street while 16 others wer? injured in the same manner. Of the 21 pedestrians killed, six were walking along the highway when struck Of all the accidents, 275 of those Injured or killed were the results cl various sorts of col lisions with other automobiles. fWhile the state highway patrol Is’gradually having some effect upon reckless drivers, the fact that there are only 36 patrolmen has made it impossible mr the patrol to police the roads as it should, and the ab sence of a state-wide drivers license has made it difficult to check up on offenders, according to Captain Charles D. Farmer, commander of the patrol, .>-'no believes that it must be enlarged and given a drivers’ li cense law' before it will be able to reduce the number of accidents ma terially.

Fountain Ami EhVlnj?h»i.s Will Likely Want To Succeed Gardner. _ Raleigh.—Interest here is again 1 turning tow ara consideration of the 1932 contest for governor as n re stilt of the admission here by Spe cial Judge Thomas L Johnson, of Lumberton. "at he would "probab-1 !y" be a candidate for the Oemo-j cratic nomination for governor in; 1932. Friends of Judge Johnson wen' even further and declared that he would positively be a candidate, and ; pointed out t rat while he is at pres- i ent a resident of Robeson county.: home county of former Governor A W. Me’ -an. he is a native of Bun- ! combe coun > and hence could ! count on strong support in Western | North Carolina. The entrance Of Judge Johnson is not surprising, since there hn.> been considerable talk for some I months that he might become a candidate, despite the fact that there are already three potential candidates already in the running, with one other still hesitating. The three men already out alter the nomination me Dennis G BrummiU now in Ills second term as attorney general: Richard T. Fountain, Heu tenant-gove nor of the state, ami J. C. B. Eliringhaus, of Elizabeth City. The fifth potential candidate i> General Albert L. Cox, of Ra leigh Until a mcMh or two ago. Attor ney-Genera; L’rummltt was regarded as having a better outlook than any of the other candidates, because of the fact that he had twice been successful ’n being elected attor ney general, had served several terms In the general assembly, nnd because of Ms position had had a constant opportunity to build up contacts in all parts of the state This meant to many that he would have a superior organization in the field when the campaign finally got started But within the last several weeks Lieutenant-CM vernor Fountain has emerged as one of the most dan eerous contenders for the nomina tion nnd political leaders generally arc now admitting that Fountain probably lias the advantage at the present Uinr over nil the others, 'ountain is what is known as a good mixeand loses no oppor tunity to gel out and mingle with the people lie combines with this ability a tr-r ondous amount of en ergy. •So far as ran be learned, Ehrlng* haus has been less active than cither Drummltt >r Fountain, but his friends licre maintain that he is only biding : r time and that when he gets sta ted he will make the most striking and impressive cam paign. However, there are those who doubt oat Ehnnghaus will get ' into the campaign, end who be lieve that h will be future for him to do so. The entry of JudRc Johnson into the rentes!, naturally makes the sit-1 nation more complicated. When! Johnson wa Just mentioned as a possible candidate, the suggestion was not regarded very seriously. Now however, that it is definitely known he expects to run, it is readily ad- i mitted that in a four or flve-cor- j nered race a’most anything can | happen. It Is also pointed out that Judge j Johnson was chairman of the state advisory committee in the campaign of 1928. when he assisted Chair man Odus M Mull In that campaign ! that lie served in the senate or the 1929 general assembly, where he helped • n over many of Gover nor Gardner's measures, and that as a result lie is pretty likely to receive strong support from the Gardner orj\u.Utttlon HU various turns around the state as n spe cial fudge will also stand him hi good stead So all in all. John son may become a more formid able candidate than many people think at the present time. — Carpenter’s Church To Plan Addition: The people of Carpenters Grove church who are Interested In re modeling the church building so ns to provide suitable rooms for the Sunday school, are requested to meet at the church Sunday, Decem ber 23 at 3 p. m. to consider this matter.

Gaffney and its environment is a : plendid 'ocation for a gas plant in the opinion of men who have visited this city during the past two years fr. the interests of that public utility Several months ago r.n extension of one year was granted by the city council to the Great Northern Utilities com pany, of Chicago, in which to be gin operation on their project in accordance with the terms of a franchise granted about two years ago, and since that time other promotors have approached city officials with various propositions, according to Mayor V. H. Lipscomb. Thr lates' proposal came through Chamber of Commerce channels and after a conference a few days ago with Mayor Lipscomb and Sec retary W. H. Alexander of the Gaff ney Chamber of Commerce the proposition ptesenfed last week by James P. C-illes. vice president of Utilities Gas and Electric company of Chicago, appears to be more defi nite than ary of the others as far as the manufacture of gas and dis tribution to Gaffney consumers Is concerned. win, Rprcciotion TIE HEADQUARTERS FOR CHRISTMAS.
