making a night practice run with hi*
speed car. An accident resulted m
which Mr. Don was seriously injuret,
and his mechanic was killed. In thi*
country it is probable the ease would
never have been brought to court
We have not known of such case*
following accidents on the apoedvsuys
of the /United States.
Hut Manxmen take a different view
of accidental deaths. A court in
dieted Kay Don on a charge of manslaughter.
He declared that he was
not careless hut the prosecuting attorney
in his questioning of the dc
fondant brought out the point that
lie had no headlights, no horn, no
* insurance and no driving license f:<>m
the Isle of Man. The trial resulted
in a conviction.
In the United States one may drive
without headlights, without a h<?ri?.
without good brakes, without a windshield
wiper, without sound lire .
without knowledge of an automobile,
without good vision, and without
brains and there is none to moled
or make afraid. An accident >< ui and,

Jess .ense. A mill executive, 1
i. .'nmcntjrg on the situation in the I
' -. \;:lc industry today, said a num- 1
!> {' of e cecytives have made up their 1
minds hat the best thing to do us !
../tj.d.ite and salvage what values 1
'J.cy can, rather than attempt to'conoperations,
knowing that in the 1
wo of present conditions they can
- ly further pile up losses by contin.ing
operations. Plants which are
lot profitable and which cannot be
irofi table under present conditions
ire going to be closed, which means
.hat many thousand* of mil! curatives
will be thrown out of work. If
ever there be a time for a strike,
most certainly this is not the time.
The mill executive, after summarizing
conditions in the textile industry,
said:
"In the face of all this, Mr. (lorman
comes out and says we will have
the greatest textile strike a little
later the country has ever seen. How
in the world can people make such
statements or mislead employes when
the mills are fighting for existence?
These labor leaders demanding
strikes only means that they want
their own coffers filled and the operatives
can starve, so for as they
are concerned."
The above are things the Obesrver
hopes its mill worker readers will
fully consider before determining
what their course shall be. Will they
follow leadership as unwise as dorman's
has been? Or, will they stick
to their jobs and co-operate with the
e\ccuti\rs to pull the textile indus
ry out of the bag in which it is mired
down at present? Have they forn

Grand Jury Takes
Blackwood To Task
The Florence county grand jury in
its report to Judge S. W. G. Shipp
yesterday censured Governor Blackwood
for "his wholesale pardoning
and paroling of criminals" and urged
that the general assembly enact legislation
to " prevent u repetition of
the spectacle."
The report said:
"We condemn in strongest terms
the wholesale pardoning and paroling
of criminals by our governor as tending
to undermine,the work of the duly
constituted law enforcement machinery
of the state and to discourage
the efforts of its enforcement officers.
We urge that the legislature
enact such legislation that will prevent
a repetition of the spectacle
which we have recently witnessed,"?

Rubbing It In
During the past hour seven enormous
"trucks bearing the name of the
Motor Freight Lines, Kansas City,
Mo., have passed westbound and apparently
heavily loaded . . . there has
also passed one marked "Scott County
Ginned Goods" from Indianapolis
and lo and behold if just this moment
another one of the Kansas City Poultry
Company did not labor up the
hill in front of our house ... I can
see no justification for these trucks
being permitted to transport freight
over thousands of miles of highway
through states to which they do not
contribute one penny for up keep . . .
in competition/ with railroads which
are heavily taxed for every mile of
their right-of-way in addition to the
expense of upkeep . . . there may
be some excuese for short hauls by
trucks, due to the saving in time and
the convenience . . . but even so I
believe they should be taxed to a
point that more equitably bear a proportionate
share of the cost of highway
maintenance . . . which in turn
will necessitate a rate more in line]
with that charged by railroads . . .1
.interstate trucks should be made to
pay a tax in every state through
I which they pass . . . under the present
scheme of operation in New York
I state, the railroads are not only
heavily taxed in every township
through which they pass, but they
are obliged to bear half the cost of
the grade crossing eliminations for
the benefit of their competitors, the
truckmen ... if that isn't rubbing a
body's nose in the dirt I don't know
what is.?LeRoy News-Gazette.

Accidentally Killed By Gun
Jake Jones, a seventeen-year-old
colored lad was shot, while out rabbit
hunting one day this past week.
He with several other boys had been
hunting and had sat down to rest,
when Buddy Jones pranking with a
gun had the misfortune of having it
go off, the shot taking effect in the
chest of Jake instantly killing him.
Both were from the plantation of
Mrs. M. T. Gettys in West Watereo.
A coroner's inquest was held.
There Is very little ground for most I
of our worry and fretting?it's gen- I
erally about things that can't be I
helped or don't matter. Here's a bit
of philosophy from The Union Times 1
that defies contradiction: "After all,
so long as one has three meals a duy'^H
and warm clothing and a good place H
to sleep .there is really little to grieve I
over. That's about all anybody gets I
from the mere material side of life." I
