He also advised motorists to
have their cars checked regularly,
since split-second response is a
must for night driving.
"And, of course" he said,
"alertness is doubly important.
Pedestrians, cyclists, and other
motorists are all more difficult to
see at night. If the motorist is on
the lookout he's more likely to
see them in time to avoid an acci-
dent"
The major took occasion to
warn night time drivers against
wearing sun glasses to cut down
glare from oncoming lights.
"Sun glasses will cut down the
glare, all right" he said. "But
they also reduce your own vision

DEATH AWAITS NIGHT TIME
DRIVERS ON DARK ROADS

Raleigh.-"Death travels dark
roads,"
Major w. B. Lentz, boss of the
State Highway Patrols transpor-
tation and communications divi-
sion, used that reminder this week
in warning Tar Heel motorists OF
the dangers that confront the
night time driver.
"Speed and darkness are dead
ly combination" he said. "And by
speed l don't mean so or 60 miles
an hour-or even 40. / mean a
speed that's too fast for driving
conditions. Dusk or darkness are
conditions that call for travelling
at much lower speed than you
would travel the same road in day.
light"
Major Lentz warned that many
motorists are taken unaware by
the earlier hours of dusk at this
time of year.
obviously" he said, "a car go.
ing at a low speed can stop in q
shorter distance than one going
faster. This is vital point in the
night driving picture. In dusk OF
darkness a driver can't see as fal

fact, on a very dark road he car

then, he should travel at a speed
that will make it possible for hin
to stop safely within the distance

|TYRRELL MERC CHANTS
LISTING COLUMBIA'S
MANY ADVANTAGES
Wideawake Businessmen Invite
Public To Use New Roads
and Ferries

Readers have undoubtedly MOTTO
ed in these columns large adver-
tising spread, boosting the town of
Columbia, and calling attention to
the towns many trade advantages.
There is particular interest at this
time in Columbia's bid for business,
both in Tyrrell County and outside
it, because there is a noteworthy
spirit of public enterprise, unity
and cooperation prevailing in the
Tyrrell county seat.
A unique thing about Columbia
is that it is one of the very few
small county seats in the region
which have a population greater
than it had so years ago. In fact a
few of the small county seats show
by census reports, less inhabitants
than in 1900.
Without mentioning each of
these nearly two score merchants
by name, we call your attention to
their advertisement elsewhere in
this paper. Some of these firms are
only few years old. They are op-
Grated for the most part by young
men. However, few have been in
business longer, for Floyd Cohoon
has been an ESQ distributor going
on 40 years, and Charles Cohoon
operates Texaco agency begun by
his father, equally as long ago.
Some Columbia firms had very
small beginnings, but grew by hard
work and honest endeavor to give
good value. One of the most inter-
esting businesses is operated by R.
X. Jagars, who came to Columbia
from Missouri, back during the de-
preston, and founded a big busi-
ness by buying catfish. He now op-
crates a large plant in Columbia
which buys many fish, employs
many people, and ships frozen fish
products as far west as the Mississ-
! ippi River.
Columbia has good hotel, a
mighty fine restaurant operated by
Bill VanHorn; several good hard
ware and building supply and lum-
Der dealers, as will be noticed in
this advertising. 1t also has fine
repair garages, automobile dealers,
furniture stores, a strong banking
institution, insurance agencies,
clothing stores, ETC., and last but
not least of its important people is
Jake Walker, the ideal of what a
funeral director should be, in gen.
uine neighborliness, and soothing
personality.
Columbia is the only town in
Tyrrell County. The county has
5000 people and $12 million prop.
erty valuation. While much log
ging and numbering is carried on
Tyrrell is principally agricultural
with emphasis more and more each
year on production of hogs, cattle
and poultry, and these three have
now become mighty important ad.
juncts to Tyrrelps economy.
Tyrrell also gets much income
from commercial fisheries in Ali.

the splendid sport fishing in its
waters, and the various type Of
