j. w. Mccarthy, the St. Louis con-
tractor, was mingling with many old
friends here the last of the week. He

td.While driving Ford, hired from
ollie .Mayberry, last Saturday, going
from Bismarck to- Elvins, Grip
Crawley, driving with several COM
.panions, the machine was run into q
ditch, evidently due to careless or in
competent driving. None Of the oc-
cunants were seriously injured, but
the car was badly damaged, which ne
cessitates it's being hauled in for re-
pairs.
For the protection of those within
their rights, careless or wreckless au-
to driving should be made a felony.
There lis no doubt about it. Reckless
use of the public highways is felony,
and punishment in keeping with such
crime should be rigidly invoked.
Several accidents in this vicinity the
past week indicates the immediate and
stringent need for more drastic regu-
lation of speed fiends, road hogs and
earelahs driving generally.
Monday nights rain was one Of the
heaviest downpours that has visited
this section Of country for a long
time. When the storm broke it was
accompanied by heavy wind that for
a time proved to be quite alarming.
Later there was considerable hail, and
the rain continued practically through
out the night. Many rivers and
streams were swollen out of their
banks, and considerable damage re-
suited, especially in the low lands.
An automobile filled with Bellville
folks came to grief Sunday about a
| mile from Pennington, on the Flat
River road. This accident like most
Of them, resulted from speeding. The
car was trying to pass another, when
there was a Blowout, and the machine
went ,topsy-turyy to the side of the
road, splitting it's occupants promiseu-
ously, and damaging them somewhat,
but fortunately none were seriously in
jured. .Automobiling is splendid recre-
alton and pastime, but foolish driving
is rapidly bringing it into disrepute
with many The only way to prevent
| the ever increasing number of auto
accidents is for drivers to be brought
| to realization, that they have no more
rights on the public highway than
have the many others who may be u.s.
