TAKE WARNING —BE CAREFUL H e deser ves no consideration. TjHIS one word tells the whole story. It sums up the cause of a great number of highway accidents and fatalities. It is the most common excuse advanced for ignoring the law and the rights of others. It is the most senseless, most inexcusable reason for destroying lives and property. Driving and drinking definitely do not mix. It is a proven i a t diat the driver who has been drinking is NOT capable oi driving safely, even though he might feel entirely sober. There is only one way to be sure-DON’T DRIVE IF YOU HAVE BEEN DRINKING. Furthermore, refuse to ride with anyone who has been drinking. The risk is too great, the possibilities of trouble entirely too sure. Our local and state authorities are exerting every effort to keep the drunken driver off the highways. Fie is the greatest menace to safety. NEWBERRY STONE CO. J. B. Coward scons AUTO SUPPLY Phone 35-W—Earl Scott S. W. SHEALY CommUeioner DUtrict Two R. M.
