AUTO LIGHTS.

From the Laurel Leader.
The recently adopted laws in the
State of Delaware providing for dim
mers on automobile headlights is a
good law, but to be real law 1t
must be enforced to the letter
Lower Sussex County, despite poor
roads, experiences a tremendous
amount Of automobile traffic. Much
Of this riding Is after shutdown and
the question of lights Is one which
the authorities should look into with
out delay or exception.
Should an officer be placed on any
of the roads leading into Laurel, from
Seaford, Hearn's Cross Roads or on
West street, any evening they would
have little trouble In apprehending
violators of this NV. Apparently
there are few of the motorists in this
section who believe that It will be
enforced here. Glaring headlights are
found on three out Of four cars. Even
those equipped with an electric dim
mer by which they can reduce the
glare when approaching another car
fail to use 1t to any extent.
The glazing headlight is most dan
gerous. The man on whose automo
bile this light Is used rIsts In safety
but the man who meets this law
breaker on the highway is at his
mercy. It is impossible to see more
than twenty feet ahead Of car wher
meeting another carrying the IN
dimmed and powerful lights.
Because of the poor roads, the
cutters at the sides in many place!
and the horse traffic. unlighted, thu
motorist who has to drive into The
glare OF undimmed lights risks hi
life and the lives and property o
others.
Every man falling to have dimmeC
lights on his car should be arrested
and fined heavily. He should bI
made to pay for a violation OF thu
law in no uncertain manner. Hi
failure to abide by the law puts tn
lives OF other people in jeopardy
Let the authorities get after thes
violRtors without delay.

Hundreds Of Negroes, men, women and children
went to that popular baysde for big Saturday.
Most Of thom had nothing in mind except to have
day OF at the shore A few Of them went armed and
prepared TO make trouble. The killing was a result
OF those exceptions.
And so It has been with the Negro campmeetings
down the State which are in such disfavoE that
many Of them have been banned Their past record is
bloody one and yet all the trouble has been caused
by comparatively small number Of men and women.
Perhaps ninteen-twentieths OF the Negro men, women
and children went to such meetings actuated BY
harmless purpose and the remaining one-twentieth
caused all the trouble plus widespread public crt-

It is high time for the respectable Negro elements
