PERQUIMANS ADDS TO STATE'S AUTO FATALITIES Perquimans County added two names to the long list of the State's traffic fatalities last Friday when Jesse Lane and Elmer Symons met death as the truck in which they were crossing Chowan River Bridge crashed through the rail, hurling the men into the water below. .Nearly a thousand persons were killed on the highways of North Carolina during the past year. We read in the newspapers every day of these highway casualties, and they make little impression on our consciousness. The ever recurring frequency of motor accidents and fa talities resulting therefrom has a tendency to minimize the seriousness ef the situation in ourjninds. We read today an account of one or more being killed, and to us it is just one more automobile accident. But that ft re a serious situation we are faced with, this terrible slaughter on our highways, is not to be disputed. It is when it strikes in . our own midst that we react to the horror and the tragedy of what is going on in our State every day. Perquimans County lost two good men last week. Both were good drivers. Elmer Symons, the driver of the ill-fated truck, was known as one of the most careful drivers in the eounty. How or why the accident occurred will never be known. One thing is plainly evident, how ever, and that is that even the most careful of drivers, if accidents are to he avoided, must take care. Crops Need Balanced Ration Like Humans As a result of incessant experiment over the past several years, soil scientists and others interested in better crops for Southern farmers, are pointing out today that crops are just &s needful of a completely bal anced ration as children. It has long been known that a plant is unable to make healthy growth on nitrogen alone. There must be phosphate. Now ft is being shown by the authorities that these three factors, considered alt-important in the past, must be supplemented by a large number of the rarer elements -the so-called impurities such as iodine, calcium, magnesium, stron tium, borum, lithium, sodium an" many others. Emphasizing the importance of the impurities, the well-known publication Scientific American, which deals with scientific discoveries and advance ments, declared a "pure food .and drug act ffor plants would be a death warrant to all living creatures." Chi lean Nitrate of Soda advertising which appears regularly in this newspaper, dwells upon the vital impurities which, because of its natural origin, this old original soda contains. The impor tance of these impurities, in the growth and development of plants, is compared1 with that of the various vitamins m the growth and develop ment of people and animals.

One more budding romance blight ed! ; OH 4 Mollie and Carlton are both five years old. Mollie announced to her family on Thursday that she and Carlton had decided they would go to Nags Head on their honeymoon. It was like a bolt out of the; blue sky, ' Nothing has yet been said about any kind of ceremony. The trip was to be made, it seems, in the automobile which Santa Claus brought to' Carlton'. Everything' was nicely planned and pretty well carried out. Mollie packed : her bag com pletely, even to finger nail pplish. She. said only her sun suit would be necessary in the way of dresses, evi dently expecting to find the same conditions she left at Nags Head when she left last summer. - The couple were to leave, accord ing to Mollie, at 4 o'clock next morn ing. Mollie woke at the appointed time and insisted that she really was leaving. But alack and alas! Carl ton didn't show up. He was fast asleep at 4 o'clock in the morning. Now Mollie explains that they would have gone anyhow, if Daddy had given her the five dollars she asked for. She had become con vinced that the automobile wouldn't travel through mud and there are no sidewalks all the way to Nags Head. But Mollie was going on the bus if Daddy han't refused to furnish the wherewithal. Melvin Owens, special night police officer of Hertford, said he was sick on Tuesday, and he further said it was the first time in his life he had ever been sick. Joe White is a colored farm hand of Perquimans County. Joe is working for the ERA right now, making two days each week. Just as soon as there is any farm work to be done Joe will be right back on the farm of Mr. Jacob L. White. He has worked for the WBitr family something like a quarter of a century. Sometimes Joe grubs up stumps. He says he has grubbed up as many as five or six in a day, at 25 cents each. He has at times worked all day long on one big stump. It is his proud boast that he can do about anything on the farm that any other man can do. Nothing seems to worry Joe a great deal. He always smiles very nappily. A' little thing like having only one leg and only one arm, both of the missing members being on the right side, doesn't make a fellow like Joe down-hearted. Joe enjoys the reputation among the white people for whom he bar worked for so long of being th smartest fellow they know. He is fifty years old now. Came to this county from Chowan about 26 years ago. Seventeen years ago he lost his right leg, from blood poison ing, and two years later his right arm, from the same trouble. He is well now, he said. Joe has never married, but he has always contributed towards the sup port of others. His cousin wasn't able to work much so Joe pitched in and took care of his children, helped them all he could.
