THAT WHEEL ORDINANCE
Councils Power to Require Bell Ringing is
Questionable.

Questionable.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Yesterday mornings Eagle contained
an article on wheels. whch if one will
carefully read viii, certainly conclude
that everybody has wheels 1t is only a
question as TO the make-from the court
down TO the dealer. Ordinances are good
things to have for he regulation Of
mankind generally, either city, stale,
school Or family, but city has no more
right or authority TO pass an ordinance
requiring riders OF wheels to ring a bell,
bicycle bell as they approach a street
crossing than they would have 10 pass
an ordinance requiring wheel vehicles Of
any and all descriptions to have attach
ed a wagon bell" a buggy bell'' a
cart bell" or a "dray bell" baby
wagon bell ad infinitum. Courts have
decided that a bicycle IS a vehicle en-
titled to the rights Of the highway the
same as a wagon or carriage. If that
decision is true and just then they are
not subjTct to any restriction or class
legislation. The Emporia court to the
contrary. In fact street cars cannot be
compelled to ring bell, and yet they
ring them as extra precaution against
accident. If a bicyclist Injuries a person
they are liable for damages the same as
a person driving a team. The tendency
Of cyclists, especially children, is that
when they ring their bell that they have
performed their duty and that they are
then entitled 10 the right Of way, and
they lou along. regardless of the conse-

Tarboro Southerner Deputy Col
lector Daniel, of the Internal Revenue
Service captured and destroyed on Fri
day last an illicit still in the upper
part OF the county, between Battleboro
and Whitakers The still was located
in big reed swamp on Swift creek
and was apparently doing a big busi-
ness. It Is said that about nine hum
dren gallons of mash etc. and some dis
titled whiskey were found and emp
tied on the ground. The officers
were led to the place by a preacher,
who had been advised of its location
but they reached there at time when
no one was present and there is no one
under arrest. It is not likely that anv
one will lay claim to the destroyed
The parties running it we're
lucky in being away. It is said that
Western North Carolina is not the on
ly camping ground of the festive moon
sinner and that corn wniskey can be
bought very cheap if one knows where
to get it. It is dangerous business
and the man who follows it long is
sure to get caught in the end.

SAFE BLOWERS at MoCKsMILLE.


Winston Sentinel Safe blowers
got in their work at Mocksv1lIe Mon
day night.
They broke in the postoffice there,
blew open the safe with dynamite and
robbed it of $500, half of the amount
being In stamps and the other half in
money.
Our inform ant says it was a first
class job, the safe being a complete
wreck-torn all to pieces.
The robbers tailed to get three regis
tered letters which contained money.
They were found next morning badly
scorched. Ed. Morris is the postmas-
ter at Mocksville. He was appointed
few months ago.
After committing the robbery, the
parties stole the section masters lever
car and rode it out near the Davis
School just west of Winston. Tt was
found next morning lying near the
railroad track.
At Dutchman's creek, four miles
this side Of Mocksville, the blow
ers cut the telegraph wire in two
places. They did this to prevent any
messages being sent out after them.
