STATE HIGHWAY
PATROLMEN HERE
Three Motorcycle Officers Came to
Boone Tuesday Afternoon and Let
Wednesday Morning; Many Motor
lists Cited for Law Violations

Three motorcycle officers, mem
bers Of the newly formed state pa
troll, spent Tuesday night in Boone.
They are now making rather gen
eral tour Of the seventh Highway
district in which their duties are as
signed, and lef Yesterday morning
for North Wilhesboro via West JEFF
ferson.
While here numerous violations OF
the automobile law were cited. mo-
torists were warned Of the penalty of
operating cars with defective lights,
brakes, etc, and We're given forms
upon which to furnish proof within
a given length of time of the correc-
ton of the trouble. Several cars
were being operated without license
plates and were caused to be stored
pending the purchase OF license. Pa
trolman Fountaine OF Winston-Sa-
lem, member Of the party, who viii
make headquarters at Elkin, stated
that provided warnings were needed,
it was not the policy of the patrol to
take action, but that unless license
plates were promptly secured, war
rants would be issued and the vio-
lators prosecuted. According to Mr..
Fountaine, irregularities are preva-
lent throughout the district, but that
the patrol expected to legalize the
automobile traffic as rapidly as pos
sible. ITS big job" ne said, "but
we expect to produce results suffi-
cient to justify the next legislature
in increasing the personnel of the
patrol"

Fountain is Taking
His Race Seriously

Raleigh, July 9.-Lieutenant Cow
ernor Richard T. Fountain, who
comes to Raleigh every few days on
business that will help him when he
becomes governor, if ne does, is s
Raleigh visitor today and Mr.. Foens
tain is constrained to believe that
nobody has the ups on him right now.
Mr.. Fountain understands that
elections are won on the day of Not-
ing often and that any accounting
of strength three years ahead of the
poll is quite premature. But he IS 4
most studious observer of politics
and he has observed that his contem-
poraries generally have entered the
race early and remained late. For
instance, Aycock got in when Cy
Watson was beate min 1896, Glenn
got ready in 1900 for 1904, Kitch-
en- started in 1905 for 1908, and
Craig began in 1906 for 1908 and
1912. Beckett began in 1908 for
1916 and Morrison in 1912 for 1920.
Gardner made his beginning for
1920 in 1915 and Mclean fixed him
self for 1924 in 1920.
Mr.. Fountain, therefore, is not
disposed to wait until 1882 to inquire
of j. C. 6. Ehringhaus, D. G. Brum-
mitt, Albert L. Cox and j. W. Bal
ley if they really are serious in their
desires to tenant the big house on
North Blount street. Mr.. Fountain is
very serious. And he sees piles OF
people who feel as he does abuOt It.
