AUTO ACCIDENT
SATURDAY NIGHT

Saturday night about nine o'clock
just this side of Virgins Mill a Ford
car driven by a white girl named
Viola Moore of Lucama with Vernie
Williamson of near Bailey ran into
a mule and buggy being driven by
Mr.. B. N. Merchant a truck farmer
near the mill.
The car was going towards the
mill while Mr.. Merchant was coming
towards Wilson.
The mule and buggy were well over
on the right of the road while the
position of the car when it struck
them showed that it was far over
from the center of the road on the
left.
The woman was hurt on the side,
and her hand was cut Williamson
had some bruises on the face but
otherwise he said that he was not
badly hurt. The girl and Mr.. Mer-
chant were brought to the city where
both received treatment and the girl
went back home yesterday morning.
Williamson was arrested yesterday
and placed in Jail here. 1t is alleged
the man and the woman were both
under the influence of liquor while
driving the car.
My. Merchants nose was broken
and he was badly skinned on the
hands and legs. The mule was so bad
ly hurt that he died yesterday.
The trial is set for this afternoon
at two o'clock before Justice of the
Peace Jules Hardy.
The case was heard this afternoon
by Magistrate L. w. Bisett, who re-
quired the Moore woman and Viii
Hanson to give bonds in the sum of
$500 each for their appearance at
court. Mr.. Fred Swindell represent
ed Mr.. Merchant and Mr. Rand of
Woodard and Rand represented Viii
hanson and the girl
Witnesses testified that both the
man and the woman were drinking
when they were in Wilson about five
o'clock before they started toward
the mill. Both denied this and
said they were driving along the
road about 25 miles an hour, passed
car and when they turned into the
road ran into Mr. Merchant. The
evidence went to show that Mr. Mer-
chant was well on the right side OF
the road when he was struck.

,111TERACY ON THE wANE

We folks, who go about reading
the papers and attending to our Dus-
mess. take reading and writing as
matter of course. We are greatly
surprised that there are 1,241 per-
sons in Wilson county who are IL
literate. We are surprised that that
figure is a decrease of 14.9 since
1910. But such is the case.
Illiteracy all over North Carolina
is on the decrease. According to the
census figures there are 241,445 IL
Iterate persons over 10 years of age
in the State. The total percentage
of iIIiteracy is 1871. This shows a
dimunition from 1910 when the per-
centage was 1876.
The census reports Wilson county
as follows: 1,241 persons, including
1877 native whites, foreign-born
whites, LOGS negroes. Percentage
of ilIiteracy 14.9, decrease since
1910 when it was 17.6. Native white
percentage is 40, negro 26.2.

sins that exist in his community.
The preacher referred to an edito-
rial appearing in The Daily Times re-
Gently in which the editor declared
that 25 per cent of the people in
Wilson county were assisting in the
liquor traffic. and urging the stamp
ing out of this liquor traffic as a
cure for the crime ills of the COM
munity. Mr.. Love agreed heartily
with the exception that he believed
the percentage was higher than 25
per cent. He earnestly declared that
until the people who live in the big
houses cease to violate the liquor
laws the good must die for right
eousness sake" A man was killed
in Wilson county recently because he
upheld the right and threatened to
disclose the evil that existed about
him. None of us who stand for
righteousness are safe while such
conditions exist.

DIR. LOVE DELIVERED
FORCEFUL MESSAGE

DR.. F. S. Love spoke earnestly yes
terday morning at the First Metho-
dist church on the subject of the re-
lationship between a man and his
community. The preacher urged the
truth of the assertion that man can
not live unto himself alone.
DR.. Love declared the first mur-
derer had demanded, cam My
Brothers Keeper" and the Lord had
shown Cain that he was his brothers
keeper. So it is today. And no man
can hold himself and his family aloof
from the evils that exist in a COM
munity. He shares in its progress
or its sins. When the illiteracy per-
centage in North Carolina is reduced

the affairs OF any man or the commu-
nifty.
Suppose we had the Klan in VIII
son county actively at work today.
And a brutal murder should occur
as the one IN Taylors township when
Mr. Pearson was shot down on his
own premises, would it not be an
easy matter for the slayer to put the
responsibility on the Klan?
Lawlessness leads to other law
lessness. and for that reason every
one should support and obey the

SERVICE
ON EARTH QUAKES.

Pasadena, Cal, Aug. 13.-An in
formation service on earthquakes,
similar to the weather bureaus work
in its field. is being considered by
scientists. engineers and business
men in California.
The undertaking aims at perfecting
an instrument sensitive enough to re-
cord the slightest tremors of the earth
and so make possible the prediction
of approaching movements of it's
surface.
The men in charge of the project
are students of vibrations, who assist
ed in the development of submarine
detectors and other similar instru-
have the cooperation of local educa-
tional institutions, the United States
Geodetic Survey and the United
States Geological Survey. Response
bility has been assumed by the Car
negie Institution of Washington.
Direction of the work is in the
hands of an advisory committee con-
sisting of DR.. Arthur L. Day, director
of the Carnegie Geophysical Labora-
tory, Washington, d. c., chairman !;

backing the movement to take Muz-
zey's American History out of the

l.. Wilson, of Gastonia, State chair

Mrs. Wilson's communication bears

the North Carolina chapters of the
U. D. c., until the State committee

REQUESTS US TO MAKE A STATE
MENT .g....


w. j. Simmons, the Imperial Wiz
ard of the knights of the Ku Klux
Klan desires us to say through the
Times that MF. Bruce Craven has
never been the Great Red Dragon of
the Klan in this state. That Mr..
Craven sought the place, bombarded
him with letters and messages in or
der to secure the appointment. but
that Mr.. Craven's insistence mill
tated against him and he was not ap-
pointed and that no dragon has
been appointed.
Mr.. Simmons then goes on to say
there has been concerted effort
through the public statements in
the press and conduct of lawless citi-
Zens and traitors within our ranks
to d;scredit the knights of the Ku
klux Klan in the eyes of the public"
The Imperial Wizard in view of
this effort sees fit to issue state
ment which he asks us to publish, to
wit:
"The Knights of the Ku Klux Khan
do not encourage or foster lawless-
ness, racial prejudice or religious in
tolerance and is not designed to act
in the capacity of law enforcement
or moral correction agency, except
in so far as the members of the or
ganization as citizens may be able to
assist the regular officers of the law
in the apprehending of criminals ard
rhe upholding and sustaining of the
majesty of the law and the honor and
integrity of the Stars and Stripes and
the Constitution of America
Of course it makes no difference
to the average citizen whether Mr..
Bruce Craven is the Red Dragon of
North Carolina, or whether any 9TH
er man is the dragon. To all intents
and purposes, the organization in
this state, would probably be as well
off with one as another.
But what every citizen in the land
does object to, is having any secret
organization Interpreting and en-
forcing the law, and especially an Or
ganization which works in secret,
and is so disguised. the members
cannot be apprehended or made re-
sponsihle for their individual acts
There is no excuse for the organi-
zation on the ground that the men,
bers of the organization, acting as
citizens desire to assist the officers of
the law to see that the law is en-
forced. The sheriff has the right to
summon every citizen and deputize
him as an officer to preserve the
peace, and if there are not enough
or these to uphold the law, then we
nave the military for this purpose.
II there are 1aw1ess citizens and
traitors in the organization who
would discredit it in the eyes of the
public, what would these same trai-
tors do to an outsider if the outsider
should happen to interfere with their
plans. In other words if that is the
kind of material that makes uu the
ku Klux Khan, has the Klan anv
right to regulate other folks before
1t has reached that state of human
perfection which makes it canable
