Levinton JSrrs; Tried, onvicted and Pays; AU In Less Than Four Hours , .Touring is an expensive, hobby, and f the fruita of justice can ripen rapid ly when courts of law are bo inclined. These two thoughts are probably with Mr. J. Levinton today as he basks in the sun on some ' -Florida atfand. Mr. Levinton is of the first opinion because the portion of his southward journey; from Winfall to Hertford cost him well upwards to a hundred . dollars. . . He has drawn the second conclu sion because last Friday afternoon at four o'clock his car became involved in a minor collision with a car driven by-Edward Purefoy, of Edenton. A short time later Mr. Levinton was in Williamston, continuing his south ward journey, and then in less than another hour he was back in Hert ford answering , charges of reckless driving and' leaving the scene of an accident, .. ,----! 1 In another two hours the special term of county court called in Mr. Levinton's honor, had adjourned and Mr. Levinton had paid out monies amounting to slightly less than one hundred dollars and was again on his way to the land of eternal sun shine.. . ;". .ji il.V According to the evidence given -v before Recorder Granberry Tucker, the Levinton car, bearing Mr. and Mrs. Levinton and Mr. and Mrs. Morris Handel of New Jersey, passed I WORK FAST-8Uf I LIKE St-O-W-BURNfNG L CAMELS.

Almost too.ate Mr. Levinton noted a muje ; .and cart in his path and quickly applied the brakes. So quickly that Purefoy's car crashed : into- the rear of the Bumptious" Levinton sedan and bound ed thence into the ditch; r No one was injured, but both cars were damaged, Levinton's not to the extent but that he could drive on . . . so he drove on. ; ' He drove on to Williamston, where the long arm of police radio law halted him and delivered the four tourists back to Hertford where war rants were served instead of supper. Though it was time for supper now. Local legal talent gathered quickly in the courtroom; Attorney C. H. Holmes, summoned from his home where he was doing some chores around the house, arrived in overalls to represent Purefoy. Solicitor Chad. E. Johnson was there to handle the prosecution and Attorney W. G. Ed wards represented the defendants. Evidence was lengthy on both sides and harried housewives tried in vain to keep supper warm for husbands who preferred to miss the evening meal rather than miss any part ol the fiery hearing. Recorder Tucker found Mr. Levin ton guilty of recMesB driving. The fine and costs amounted to $42.75, and no sooner was the case finished than a writ of attachment ordered Levinton's car held until damage claims to the Purefoy cartad. been settled. j Mr. Levinton waived a civil hear ing, and another amount was added to his expenditures' for the day, bringing the total .to $97.75, the com promise and attorney fee. So Mr. Levinton today is probably lolling on the beach, mulling over the ways of fate, and, as he told Deputy Sheriff M. G. Owens, Mapping but a route back northward, in order to avoid Hertford "even iif.-I have to drive 500 miles out "of the way." Chevrolet Smashes All January Records Chevrolet dealers' sales of new cars and trucks in the month of January totalled 73,328 units, a fig ure which smashes all January re cords, with the exception of a single year.

Sales for the final 10 days totalled 25.915 Teriod last year. ',.

Sales of trucks totalled 14,113, a gain of 1,170 units over January, 1939.
