HIGHWAY PATROL
WARS ON SPEEDING
Farmer Warns the Heavy
Footed Drivers to Light
en- Gas-Feed Pressure
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In The Sir Walter Hotel,
BY j. c. baskerville

Raleigh, April 2O-The heavy-foot-
ed drivers who are in the habit of
stepping on the gas" and of driving
at speeds of from so to 70 miles an
hour, had better be careful or the
"patrollers" will get them, Captain
Charles D. Farmer of the State High
way patrol said today. For orders
have just been isued to all patrolmen
to go after speeders harder than ever
from now on.
1--WE are not going to bother the
drivers who drive carefully, even if
they exceed IS miles an hour and get
up between so and 60 miles an hour,
if the road is clear and such speeds
do not endanger other traffic" Capt.
Farmer said. But the drivers who
insist on speeding through heavy traf
fic, or who drive at speeds that are
hazardous to themselves and other
drivers, had better look out from now
on, for the patrolmen are going to get
them. And when they do. many of
them will be charged with reckless
driving as well as with speeding, since
excessive speed automatically becomes
reckless driving"
The accident statistics for March,
while showing a decrease of IA per
cent in the number of persons killed
as compared with March of last year,
showed that excessive speed was re-
sponsible for n,c~= fatal accidents
than any other one thing, Capt. Far
mer pointed out. There were 20 fatal
and 40 non-fatal accidents attributed
directly to excessive speed, while
reckless driving was given as the
cause of seven fatal and 88 non-fatal
crashes. Hit-and-run drivers, who
usually drive both too fast and too
recklessly, were responsible for 10
fatal and "a non-fatal accidents.
with these figures staring us in
the face, the only thing for us to do
is to bear down on the speeders and
see if by reducing the number of fast
drievrs we cannot also reduce the
number of accidents" Capt Farmer
said. 1--WE have been unusually len
lent with the drivers concerning speed
and have not bothered them much
in the past as long as they were not
driving recklessly. But the time has
now come when the drivers must re-
duce their speed or suffer the conse-
QuenceS."

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

April 20, 1676-There's one thing
the Shakespereans can't take away
from the Bacon family and that is
credit for starting the revolt against
British rule in America.
When Virginians raised a company
to end the depredations of Susque-
hanna tribes men, Gov. Sir Will Berk-
eley, fearful his profitable fur trade
with the Susquehannas would be
disrupted, ordered the force disband-
ed. Nathanial Bacon, "a, displaced
Col. John Washington (great-grand-
father of George), led the colonists to
the Susquehanna villages, routed the
redskins. Berkeley declared Bacon
a rebel as of this date, and had re
volution on his hands. For the lower
settlements, already chatting under
heavy and unequal taxes, united in
insurrection and forced the dissolu-
ton of the Assembly and the recall
of Berkeley, who had prevented print
ing presses from being set up in the
colony. He said Thank God! there
are no free schools nor printing-press-
es, and I hope there will be none for
hundred years; for learning has
brought disobedience, and heresy, and
sects into the world, and printing has
divulged these and other libelS."
April TO- 1775-The Revolution for
which Bacon had paved the way came
to full flower, as first accounts of the
battle" of Lexington were published
Here, after a first paragraph begin
ming, about ten o'clock last night"
is what Boston read in the Massachu-
sets Spy:
"The body of troops under the COM
mand of Lieut. Col. Smith had cross
ed the river and landed at Phipps'
farm. They proceeded with great sill
ence to Lexington, six miles below
Concord. A company of militia, num-
bering about 80 men, had mustered
near the meeting house. Just before
sunrise the kings troops came in
sight, when the militia began to dis
perse. The troops then set out upon
the road, hallowing and huzzaing, and
coming within few rods of them,
the commanding officer cried out in
words to this effect, "Disperse, you
damned rebels!, damned you, dis
perse!" upon which the troops again
huzzaed, and at the same time one or
two officers discharged their pistols.
which were instanteously followed by
the firing of four or five of the SOL
diers, and then there seemed to be a
general discharge from the whole.
1T is to be noticed that thew fired
upon the militia as they were dispers-

much on organization work, but to
come out into the ring and sock the
Doctor from Winston-Salem blow for
blow and to inject little more popu-
lar appeal into their own campaigns
1t is true, of course, that Hoey has
exchanged some blows and words with
DR.. Mcdonald during the past two or
three weeks, though Hoey was forced
to give up part Of his speaking cam
Daign this past week to appear in
some law suits. Nut many are con-
vinced that so far Hoey has been
avoiding many of the real issues and
doing more shadow boxing than &C
tual fighting with Mcdonald and that
he has not yet really drawn any blood
Most of the impartial observers are
convinced that Hoey is going to have
to put more pep into his punches than
he has so far if he is going to worry
POpeye Mcdonald, who Just reaches
for another can of anti-sales tax
spinach and then comes back harder
than ever at his opponents. Most OBJ
servers agree thatn ever before in
North Carolina politics has there ever
been a candidate more like Popeye
than Mcdonald, in that so far every
knock has been a boost
The reason Sandy Graham and his
managers have not opened up so far
on either Mcdonald or Hoey is be-
cause they do not want to make the
followers of either mad, in that Ora
ham and his hackers are confident he
will be in a second primary with eth
er Mcdonald or Hoey, in which case
he will need the votes of those who
supported the other candidate. And to
a certain extent many agree that this
policy of sitting tight and not saying
anything to antagonize the followers
of either Mcdonald or Hoey has won
Graham some votes from both oppos-
ing camps. But large number of OBJ
servers also agree that unless Graham
opens up real soon and starts to say
or do something to attract some at
tention and to wean away even more
votes from his opponents, that he is
likely to remain in third place.

DEFECTIVE PERMITS

All Applications for Drivers
License Must Be Filled

In The Sir Walter HOtcl,
by j. C.. BASI< ERVlLL

Raleigh, April 2O-Out of the aver
age of 500 new applications being re-
ceived each day for automobile driv-
ers' licenses, about so day have to
be returned because they have not
been signed by highway patrolman,
Director Arthur Fulk of the highway
safety division said today.
MANY people still do not seem to
know that since March / no drivers
licenses have been issued unless the
application has been filled out in the
presence of highway patrolman and
unless patrolman has signed the ap-
plications, indicating that the appli-
cants have passed the required exam
nation for driving permit" Fulk
said. Before March /, we issued Ii
censes on any applications signed
either by patrolmen or notary public,
so that many people will think that
all they need to do is to get their
signed by a notary public.
when these applications are re-
celved, however, we are forced to re-
turn them and ask the applicants to
make out new applications and have
them signed by patrolmen.

cashiers checks and who poses as
farmer and. wears overalls, by Com
missioner of Banks Quincy p Hood.
Commissioner Hood has been warn
ed of this forger by the chief bank
examiner of South Carolina. This
forger victimized a South Carolina
Bank for $500 by using a forged
cashiers check last Thursday, April
10, and is now believed that he is
heading into western North Carolina.
The forger has been appearing at a
bank to deposit large cashiers

so in cash, and disappears, after
which it is found that the entire

ing agreeable to their command, and
that they did not even return the fire.
Eight of our men were killed, and
nine wounded. The troops then
laughed, and damned the Yankees,
and said they could not bear the smell
of gunpowder."
From this contemporary account it
would appear that the colonists made
no opposition; that the brave stand
of the Minutemen at Lexington" is
imaginary.
The same account says of the bat
tie" of Concord:
"Soon after this action, the troops
renewed their march to Concord,
where they divided into parties, and
went directly to the several places
where the province stores were de-
posted. One body went into the Jail
yard, and spiked and otherwise dam
aged the cannon belonging to the pro-
vince. Then they entered a store and
rolled out about 100 barrels of flour,
which they unheaded, and emptied
about 40 into the river.
Another party took possession of
North Bridge. About $50 of the mill
tia, who had mustered upon the alarm
coming toward the bridge, were fired
upon by the troops, and two were kill
ed upon the spot. Thus did the troops
OF Britain's king fire first at two sew
eral times upon his loyal American
subjects and put period to 10 lives
before one gun and was fired upon
them! Our troops then returned the
IRE and obliged the troops to retreat"
The first shots of the Revolution
were fired, then, at Concord. not at
Lexington.
