NORTH CAROLINA AUTOMOBILE LAW The state of North Carolina is far in advance of other southern states in building paved roads. Au- tomobiiists find the roads in this state to be almost perfect, but in building good roadc the authorities have not forgotten the importance of rigid restric tions for the automobile driver as well as the pedes trian. It is not alawys the fault or recklessness of the automobile driver which causes accidents. Pedestrians are sometimes to blame. With that lib eral view on the part of those in authority - the legis lature passed a law requiring pedestrians to walk on the left side of the roads thereby giving the middle and right hand side of the roads to the use of auto mobiles. Violation of this law subjects the offender to being guilty of a misdemeanor end a fine or sen tence can be imposed in the discretion of the court. It is true that many automobilists are reckless when driving over the public highways and many < f them seem to think that the pedestrian or the driver of vehicles not propelled by gasoline have no rights whatever to the highways. The law also provides for the punishment of such violators. It is a good law and one similar to the North Carolina law should be adopted in every state. An autoist cannot be too careful when driving over • tie' public highways. • Pedestrians are oftentimes ■•deaf or absorbed in matters and without thinking walk in front of a rapidly moving automobile and meet with either death or serious injuries. Such ac- c'dents cannot be helped, but in such instances the accident is from no fault of the driver, and the re sponsibility rests upon the thoughtless pedestrian. The time has come when there must be co-oper ation between the driver and the pedestrian, if we are to avoid accidents and death, A better under standing of the rights of autos and pedestrians rhould be encouraged and a sane and safe system of road rules adopted in communities and laws passed by the legislative bodies of the state requiring such action. , North Carolina has a good law and the people of this state will benefit by adopting one similar. THE COAL STRIKE SITUATION Annually there arises a crisis in the coal mining industry and differences between the miners and op erators grow serious and the aid of the federal as well as state governments is called in to settle or ad- .Just the differences. Such should not be the case. There is little excuse for these annual rows and bick erings over a wage scale which finally results in the price of coal being raised and the consumer suffer ing therefrom. It is alleged that these differences are brought on through an understanding between the miners and operators in order that a greater profit may be made by the operators. Whether that is true, or not, such action shoud cease and a settled «nd normal condition restored in this industry. President Coolidge has called on Governor Pin ch ot, of Pennsylvania, to intercede and undertake to settle the trouble pending in that state between the miners and operators. Whether he will succeed in the undertaking is problematic. He has a hardened and unreasonable crowd to deal with on both sides, ai]d especially so if what has been said is true as to the relation existing between employee and em ployer. The time has come when legislation should be passed controlling the output of the coal mines and fixing a scale for its production. In other word*, the time has come when all the coal mines in the country should be taken over by the government and operated. It is a too serious a matter to allow miiiers and operators to close down these industries and leave the people of the nation helpless and with- out fuel. fW L h ^-n fai . th in ,r re * Id * nt Coo,id *« and believe that he will yet work out the problem and prevent a stnko, but in order to prevent future trouble, con gress should take notice and some sane and reason able legislation passed which would forever elimi nate the operators and miners from having the con trolling hand in the manipulations of the mines of tho nation. m The boil weevil is migrating. 1st and sprinkle with poison another week and toll weevil will be conquered.
