DEATHS MAKE
RECORD IN NOVEMBER

With a steady increase since June
in the number of fatalities from
automobiles, North Carolina set up a
new record of such killings in Octo-
ber with IA deaths, and shattered
this new record in November with II
deaths, according to the report just
issued by the motor vehicle bureau
Of the department of revenue.
The total for the twelve months
period ending December 1, was 655
persons killed, and the records show
that reckless driving was responsible
for the most of the deaths. 1t is
pointed out that besides the dead,
hundreds will go through the remain
der of their lives manned and Grip
Piled.

! Nitrate of Soda F atal to
Fine Herd of Cattle

Five fine dairy cows, the property
of Mr. Clyde Perry of Beaver Dam,
died Monday after having eaten a
considerable quantity of nitrate Of
soda, which had been stored away
for agricultural purposes. The cat
tie were among the finest in the
county, the worth of the herd hav-
ing been estimated at as high as a
thousand dollars. Shortly following
the poisoning of the cows, a daugh-
ter of Mr.. Perry became ill and it
was at first thought she had likewise
been poisoned from drinking milk.
She was rushed to the Watauga Hos
pital where there is doubt as to the
cause of the illness. Her condition
at present is not regarded as unduly
alarming.
