Oftentimes only a letter intervenes between correct reporting and fatal error, and with only human linotypers to make mistakes and human proofreaders to catch them it is not always possible to keep out errors. At anyrate, we breathed a sigh of thanks to all concerned when we read the safety rule published in Saturday's paper as part of the campaign to reduce automobile accidents. "Slow your speed when passing children, aged or infirm persons," it said. Nice work, saad we. Juat suppose it had appeared as "Show your speed."?Charlotte News. - The main plant of the Ford company at Detroit, closed for three weeks, reopened Tuesday. RECALLING FIPST INTERVIEW By Edgar A.
