[ Judge James t. Webb at Charlotte
j CondennM Unlawful Practice
A vigorous attack on the practice
of officers of the law shooting per
son# suspected -of law violations wa^
made Monday in the superior court
for Mecklenburg county, N. C., by
Judge James L. Webb of Shelby, N.
C. Judge Webb's remarks were
thought to have been due to the pres
ence in court of a young white man
who said he wa$ permanently crippled
not )ong ago by a shot fired by a
Mecklenburg county officer on a high
way near Charlotte.
"It is a ' .deous offense and serious
violation of the law," Judge Webb
said, "for an officer to fire because
ho suspects some person in an auto
mobile has liquor in his possession.
The possession of liquor is only ,a mis
demeanor and not a felony, and the
committing of murder or the injury
of any person or persons in an effort
to apprehend a supposed bootlegger
is not only not justifiable but is a
high crime.
"An officer l\as no light to shoot :?
prisoner, except when he thinks his
own life is menaced and shooting is
the only means he can find to escape
that menace, or when he has a pris
oner under arrest charged with a fel
ony and that prisoner tries to escape
or resists arrest.
"There is ah entirely wrong con
ception on the part of many officers,
apparently, as to their functions. It
is true they are charged wfth the
duty of enforcing the prohibition laws
arid other laws, but the law gives
them no authority to shoot a man
whom they suspect of having liquor
or of any other ordinary offense.
When the officer .so far disregards
his duty that he feels himself called,
upon to apprehend the prisoner by
shooting him down or even shooting
at him to frighten him, he is entire
ly misconstruing his duty. The of
ficer haS absolutely no right to draw
his gun to shoot a man suspected of
crime. He may be mistaken in his
opinion and shoot an ^ntirely inno
cent' man. But if he has cause to
think a fleeing prisoner is a boot
legger, he lacks the right hoot
him, and officers doing l*o ptnee.
themselves liable ? to serious trouble
in such cases." .
The Value of Advert ining
Wilting in his paper, the Chester
News, of the value of advertising,
Editor Ward W. Pegram prints the
following: "Notwithstanding the daily
lessons we have in the advantages of
advertising, there are still scores of
merchants who do not believe it pays
them to advertise. ,Ho\v they can think
this is beyond my comprehension un
less it be that they have advertised in
times past and when the customer
came they disappointed him Hpri since
then they have been unablfe to get the
customer back in their store. I gladly
admit tha't to advertise to do 'a cer
tain thing or to give a certain bar
gain and then when the customer en
ters not to do what you advertised
you would do, is commercial suicide.
Anjr merchant who thinks he can put
a bunch of 'hot air' into printers' ink
and expect an enlightened public to
gulp down such stuff is worse than
a fool. That merchant would do a
thousand times better to never let
his name get into print. But the
merchant who advertises and who
puts thought into his advertising and
who does what he says he will do is
as sure of patronage as the rising of
the sun. I would not have you think
that a few ads will turn the trick.
It takes perseverance in advertising
just as it does in anything else, but
if one keeps pounding away in the
right way, success is assured.""

CHILD DRIVING
Unlawful for Child Under 12 to Op
erate a Car in South Carolina
Columbia, June 14. ? Attorney Gen*
eral John M. Daniel has answered
an inquiry from Greenville as to the
responsibility for a child's driving a
car. The law applies both to the
child driving the car and to the own
er of the vehicle, Mr. Daniel advises:
"Section 590, Vol. 2, Code of Laws
of 1922," writes the attorney gen
eral to the Greenville inquirer,
''makes it unlawful for any child un
der 12 years of age to operate a
motor vehicle on the highways of this
state. The same section also makes
it unlawful for the owner of any
automobile or other motor vehicle
to allow any minor under the age of
12 years to drive or operate such
automobile or other motor vehicle
upon the public highways of the state.
The section carries with it a pen
alty of not exceeding $100 or 39
days.!'

STANDARD

"Put this in your crank case for a change. You'll notice
the difference right away. Hear the difference, too. Make
your starting and stopping easier and she'll rtfry a lot
quieter. I've tried a lot of different oils in my Ford hut
this is the best yet", says the experienced Fleet Boss.
We take our own medicine and believe in it. This company
operates hundreds of Ford cars and has unusual oppor
tunities for making accurate road tests on every type of
lubricant. The new "Standard" Motor Oil for Fords is
the direct outcome of these tests and like all "Standard"
Motor Oils it is based on fifty-five years' of "knowing how".
Try it for yourself and note the difference.
