Reckless Automo bilists

EDITOR SPECTATOR:
The plain country folks who reside
along the Churchville pike, together
with others who live contiguous to 1t,
have become alarmed by the high rate
OF speed at which some automoblllsts
run their machines. i The pike has
many sharp cuvres and there have
been several narrow escapes from col
lision, to say nothing of several that
have actually occurred. There is not
the slightest feeling of antipathy Tor
automobiles or their occupants SO long
as the laws are observed. When prop
erlv run the automobiles are source
of genuine pleasure to the jewellers
along our splendid road, and 1t is
frankly conceded that the majority OF
automobiles who come our way Keep
within the limits of the law and
use all necessary precaution for the
prevention of accidents.
But there are others who are ex'
| tremelv reckless and it is this class
who have filled our people with ap
prehension.
Only few days ago prominent
resident of Churchville informed thu
writer that he expected some child q
be killed right in the village unless
an end was put to the utter disregard
which some automobiiists have TO
those who must use the pike as pedes
TRANS or who pass over it with horse
and vehicles.
Already there has been concerto
movement among some represents
tive citizens and, Mess these peopl
desist, some drastic ma sures slmlls
to those of the famous Lago OF M
Crawford, will be adopted at an earl
date, and, when the net is drawn 1t
not improbable that some OF tho'
who have figured in the courts OF Il
Rockingham will be numbered anon
The victims in our own county.
