Be Sure An Read
This
You can be of great service to
The Times if you will phone or
write us when you have visited.
This is the only way, we can
get. all the local news of the town
and county.
This will not be much trouble
to you and The Times will appre
ciate your kindness.
We copy in connection with the
above the following from The
Greensboro Journal:
The newspaper man is blamed
for a whole lot of things he can’t
help, such as using partiality in
mentioning visitors, giving news
about, some folks and leaving oth
ers out, etc. He simply prints all
the news he can find. Some people
inform him about such things and
others do not. An editor should ’nt
be expected to know the names and
residents of your uncles, aunts and
cousins even if he should see them.
Tell us about it. It’s news that
makes the newspaper, and every
man, woman and child can be as
sociate editor if they only will.
Never apolize when you give these
bits of information to an editor,
for if there lives one so dead that
he has lost his appreciaion of sueh
favors, he is dead, indeed, to ev
ery virtue that imparts value to a
paper.
BOX SUPPER.
There will be a box supper at

lars made a thorough search of
all the rooms except those occu

WARNING TO PARENTS
Attention is hereby called to the
fact that under the law with re
ference to the operation of auto
mobiles passed in 1915, is made a
misdemeanor for any person under
sixteen years of age to operate an
automobile, and under the general
law, the owner of the car w r ould
also Ik* liable. Many complaints
have come to me about the viola
tion of this law, and f take this
method of notifying parents that
hereafter my official duty will
compel me to take notice of these
violations of law by them and
their minor children under sixteen
years of age 1 do not w ish to ein
barrass any child by makTiig a
case against him for unlawful
operation of automobiles; but, un
der the complaints that have
brought this matter to my atten
tion, 1 ask all parents to assist me
by causing their children to ob
serve this wise provision. Future
violators will make it necessary
for me to enforce this law.
Nov. 19, 1919.
H. O. Camp, Sheriff.'
All parents know that it. is con
trary to law to allow children un
der 16 years of age to drive cars,
and in allowing them to do this
they are doing a great wrong
They are encouraging children to
violate the laws of the state in
stead of learning them to respect
and obey the laws of flic state.
