Greer Is Charged
With Hit-And-Run
WarrensviIle Man Now Under
Bond OF $4,000 For Hitting
Billie Mcneil.
TRIAL SET FOR nth.

Early Tuesday morning Willie
Greer, Of Warrensville, who has
charge of The Greensboro Daily
News circulation in Ashe county,
was arrested by Patrolman w. c..
Thomas and charged with hit-and-
run and operating car while under
the influence of intoxicants. A $500
bond was posted and the trial set
before Magistrate Paul Williams for
August II.
The charges were the outgrowth
of minor accident that happened
at the Shell Cafe here Monday
night, Patrolman Thomas said.
Chief Mcmillan was at the She'll
station when a car, which he said
was driven by Greer, came in at a
rapid speed and stopped. Chief
said that all of a sudden Greer start
ed to back his car and instead, it
plunged fordward and the fender
struck Billie McNeill, young son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie McNeill. Greer
then pulled out and headed through
town at rapid speed, the officer
stated.
Ellis wife was sitting there in an
other car and said that he was
drunk" Mcmillan explained.
He and Patrolman Thomas went
in pursuit, but didn't find him until
the next morning when he made his
regular rounds delivering three pap
ers. ~
Fortunately the McNeill boy was
not hurt and when stopped by the
Patrolman the next day, Greer de-
clared that he was not drunk the
night before and that he did not
know he had struck the boy.
While in search of the car on the
Jefferson-G4endale road, the offic-
ers nearly ran over Gordon Black
whom they said was staggering on
the highway. They stopped, picked
him up and found that cash had
been cut on the back of his head.
He was placed in Jail and doctor
was summoned to treat the head
wounds. Cleve Miller, who admit
ted being with Black that night,
said that the wound was caused by
a fall against fence.

PARAGRAPHS

The editor of newspaper never realizes the
extent to which his subscribers actually read
the paper until he inadvertently makes bad
error. In last weeks issue we had the facts
about the birth of the famous bull, Iceberg, all
turned around from one end Of the earth to the
other and before the ink had time to dry we
were showered with correct information regard
ing the nativity of this great bull that is now
grazing placidly on the fine blue grass farm of
Mr. Joe Pierce at Grassy Creek. To everyone
who went, to the trouble to 'check the facts
and inform JUS of our mistake we extend CRATE
full thanks: This newspaper appreciates such
interest and Welcomes suggestions and criticism
at all times from all readers.

Letters To Editor
Clifton, N. c.
July 20, 1888

July ~, 1888
Editor,
Skyland Post,
Dear Sir:
You state in the Sky1and Post
that the famous bull, Iceberg"
was born with VIM. Byrd's expedi-
ton to the North Pole.
This is mistake, and to keep his
tory straight, iceberg" was born
down around Little America during
Richard Evelyn Byrd's expedition
to the South Pole. So far as I know
no bulls have yet been born at or
near the North Pole.
I wish to congratulate you, Mr..
Editor, for the fine paper you are
giving us. It has improved won
derfully..
Very truly,
G.. S. Eastridge

And speaking of the community institutions
and civic improvements, we earnestly trust that
the West jefferson town fathers will take adj
vantage of the golden opportunity to get pro-
jects approved for street improvement and the
completion of the sewerage system. If the Gov
ernor of North Carolina thinks it is wise to call
another special session of the legislature to
enact laws which will enable the state to par
ticipate in some of the federal funds avail
able, to construct state institutions, surely the
town fathers should realize the importance of
getting in a huddle NOW and sending project
applications to Washington at once. Of course
the town owes $45,OOO.O0 and needs money to
meet some of its past obligations, but why not
arrange to borrow the necessary amount of funds
or sell bonds and in the meantime, submit ap
plications for the federal projects We need
these improvements badly and never again will
we have the opportunity that is ours today
just for the asking!! Let's get busy and go af-
ter better and larger West Jefferson!

The new law permits assignment Of
men with former regular naval service

alton for these men at $40 a year.
It also permits assignment thereto Of
ex-regular Navy officers and enlisted
men. Such assignments are not con-
templated by the 1889 appropriation.
None will therefore be made prior
to receipt of specific instructions
from the Bureau of Navigation.

Of officers authorized to be carried in
grades above that Of lieutenant CON-
mander and gives specific allowances
of such officers for the Organized
Reserve, the merchant marine and the
