The Reckless Drivers.

All 4A'piiSN iiiteii u VA
the Hendersonville highway with
his mother and sister in an auto
mobile, was run into by public
motor vehicle. The man was
killed and the members of his
family were badly hurt. On the
other side, the driver of the pub
lie machine was taken to the hos
pital in an unconscious condition
from his hurts, and charges of
responsibility for the occurrence
were made against him. 1t ap-
peared to have been an instance
of reckless disregard of the high
way laws, but the man in the hos
pital died, to the prevention of
any possibility of making defense
TIE accident serves as a remin-
der of the general sense of con-
tempt many drivers of autos
have of the State laws. Night
riding is made dangerous by the
recklessly speeding machines
with glaring headlights, and day
riding is but little less safe by
reason of the dangerous tenden-
cies of drivers in rounding curves
without sounding a warning and
a general inclination not to give
the road" 1t is probable that
the man responsible for the Incl
dent under consideration was
whooping it by with the determi-
nation to make the other man
give all the road, and scarcely af
fording opportunity for the nee
essary turning out. In some
parts of North Carolina, and es
pecially around Asheville, a mar
takes his own life in his hands
when he sallies forth in an auto
mobile either for pleasure or bus
mess. The parties responsible
for the avoidable accident otter
escape accounting in a local cour
and when tried are dealt with 81
lightly as to constitute their of
fense merely a sport. We haC
been in eager expectancy that thu
man in the hospital would recov
err from his injuries so that th'
, case in which he and another
, were fatally involved should ge
into court for there had been hell
oat promise of a trial that woult
have been calculated to make al
? impression upon the minds 0

Stony Fork township speaking
for themselves wish to state that
they are willing to keep up their
own roads respectfully under the
old system of free labor until the
present road law is repealed and
abolished, but are not willing to
90 several miles to the utmost
end of the township to construct
a road for another section when
some of the people will have to
walk almost a half day to get to
this section before any work can
be done.
Stony Fork township is ready
to pay her taxes to keep up her
roads but under the cruel, un
lust and unfair free labor road
law, will repudiate this system
every time, and in the name OF
Justice ask that the present road
law be repealed and keep up the
roads in Watauga County by the
modern and progressive way, the
only successful way, by taxation
Respectfully,

Mr.. \. ". Horton Writes Of County Cele-
ebration on July 4.

vvsuuV" v" WI u
Mr.. H. Walter Horton, one of
Boone's newly acquired andmost
progressive citizens, wrote the
following little story for the Char
lotte Observer, and was kind en-
ough to hand us a copy. AS it is
a good resume of not only the
great celebration held in Boone
on the 4th, but of the activities
in our town, we publist it with
very great pleasure:
Boone, the metropolis of North
western North Carolina, and the
most famous because it is named
for, and on the trail Of the pioneer
Daniel Boone, and also it's alti,
tude being the highest of any
county seat east Of the Rocky
Mountains, has never in her his
tory had such crowd within her
gates as assembled here today to
honor the returned soldiers of
the World War and other wars.
Between eight and ten thous-
and Of the purest Anglo Saxon
blood to be found in the United
States motored, wagoned, bug
gied or walked to Boone and by
thirty the town was crowded
from one end to the other. The
parade, under the efficient direct
ion of Prof. |. G.. Greer assisted
by three aides from each town
ship, started from the courthouse
promptly at ten thirty and moved
toward the Appalaching Training
School campus. In the parade
many of the progressive business
interests Of the town were rep
resented, among the most at
tractive being the Ontario Drill
by D. j. Cottrell, Agent; and the
Nash Motor Car, the Training
School beside the patriotic floats.
At the picnic grounds Capt. E.
F. Lovill delivered the address OF
welcome, and then Major Bul.
winkle, of Gastonia delivered a
rousing patriotic speech. Dur
ing the speaking the ladies were
spreading on a table four hun
dred feet long the choicest good
things from the pantries of hun
dreds of the best homes in every
prrt of the county. Hundreds
more could have been served
from what was packed back ir
baskets and carried hom e
which is no small compliment tC
the patriotism of women of Wa
tauga. 1t was the greatest cele
bration the people of Wataugs
ever had, with not sign of dis
order of any kind, which so otter
mars the pleasure of such occa
sions.

The Jointed Railroad.
Editor Charlotte Observer:

Editor Charlotte Observer:
Our attention has been called
to Mountain Top Observations"
on your editorial pageof the issue
of June II.
We appreciate the reference to
our passenger trains and to our
passenger service; also what you
quote Prof. Dougherty as saying
about our freight rates. We beg
to correct some errors you have
made as to the divisions OF this
road. You say it is divided, for
the purposes of freight tariffs
into three divisions; one between
Cranberry and Montezuma; and
one between Montezuma and
ShullS Mills, and a third between
Shulls Mills and Boone. This is
not correct.
The Linville River railway eX,
tends from Cranberry to Boone,
a distance of 80 miles, with a
branch line from Montezuma to
Pineola, a distance of 2R miles.
The East Tennessee and West
ern North Carolina railroad eX
tends from Johnson City, Tenn
to Cranberry, N. c., a distanceo OF
81 miles.
You refer to the rate on drair
pipe from Chattanooga. This is
13 cents higher to Boone than t(
Lanoir.
The rate from Knoxville tt
Boone on classes 1 to 6, and A. B
G. D. average 16h cents higher
to Boone than to Lenoir.
The parcel post rates in the
first and second zones is less thar
freight rates. The poStOtfice de
partment requires the railroads
to Garry this freight on passen
ger trains at so much per foot o
car space, which is in most case'
less than the railroads get fo
goods carried on freight trains
and then zones its rate for parce
post regardless of what it costs
the railroads to carry the same
and thus become a competito
with tho carrier for it's legiti
mate business. This account
for the shipping of tobacco from
Winston. Salem into nearby cour
ties in North Carolina.
The Linville River railway wa
built across three high spurs o
the mountains and while it is
scenic route all right enough,
is expensive to operate with it
40 per cent grades. 1t crosse

The Unjust Road Law.

to the attention of the people OF
Watauga county the unjust and
unfair amendment that was pass
ed in the recent General Assem-
bly, of North Carolina. When the
men who the citizens had elected
and vested power to represent
the people made or had drafted
a law for Watauga county to work
her roads under free labor Sys-
TEN, and after the said county
had voted bonds to build a
highway or highways in our
county, and then pass road law
compelling the peop'e to work
the road under the Free Labor
Acts or pay to the State Highway
Commission the sum of $500 per
day when the citizens are paying
taxes to support the bond issues
of our county, and by the passage
of this amendment, this is not
just and fair to, the people who
supported, voted and are willing
to pay the taxes to build and
maintain a road system by the
tax method thereby eliminating
compulsory free labor on the
public roads of our county.
The free labor law is unjust
and unfair to the young men who
have never reached their major.
ity, who have no voice in free
government, but have to work
like a slave in olden times with.
out pay or compensation which
is unfair and unjust. In ths
days when men thought that
slavery was right their masters
clothed, fed and cared for theil
slaves, but under the free labor
law every man from 18 to 45 yrs
of age must furnish his own tools
his own dinner and perhaps wall
from one mile to several niles tt
work the road without any pro
visions made whatsoever by the
ones who make our road laws fol
us.
Is it fair and just to make the
men who own practically none O
this worlds goods work the pub
lie road while the man of wealth
hauls great loads and rides ovel
the roads built by the poor class
who depend on their daily labor
for their daily bread? If this il
fair and right. God forbid! Man.

S. S. COLUMN AN INSPIRATION
Ladies of Charlton. After Reading Chas'
X. Meyers Sunday School Column,
Inspired to Give Dinner

The Herald Patriot, published at Char
iton deVotes a column each week to the
Sunday school lesson. This column is
written by Chas. X. Meyers, of Denison,
who for more than thirty years, without
remuneration, has edited the Sunday
school column appearing each week IN
the Review The Patriot of last week
says the ladies of Charlton were inspired
by reading the Sunday school column to
provide a good dinner for those homes
in Charlton which would otherwise go
without. The writer of the column will
be rejoiced to know of this we are sure.
We have oftimes wondered whether the
efforts of Mr.. Meyers in writing this
weekly lesson were being duly appreci-
ated; whether or no he ever received
words of commentator; whether even
those directly interested in Sunday
school work paused for a moment in an
ticipation of the amount Of time, labor
and thought Mr.. Meyers gives to his
weekly letters; whether or no he was
from time to time inspired to greater eff
forts because Of some kind word OF en-
enlargement or note OF approval drop
ped from minister of the gospel, or
those interested in carrying on of the
Sunday school work. In the weekly
Sunday school column Mr.. Meyers talks
directly to more people than do all the
ministers Of Crawford county; he week.
ly talks to and aids every teacher and
student in the Sunday school, not only
in this county, but in many of the sur.
rounding counties. He does this out Of
the goodness of his heart without
thought of financial gain, being amply
repaid in the thought that the seeds OF
his teachings may fall upon good
ground. The one instance at Charlton
has, we believe, served to repay Mr..
Meyers for all his labor during the many
years past.

There are three indictments in which

to deceive. this paper showing the bills
payable of the Carroll Trust and Saw
ings bank, of which Roelfsama was the
president, to be $65, 100, when int fact
they were greatly in excess of that
amount. In another indictment the
charge is that of subscribing and
knowingly making false report to the
superintendent of banking" as to the
bills payable of the bank. A third in
dictment charges Roelfsama with en-
bezzlemen. He is alleged to have will
