Reckless Driving
Brings Death To
Atlanta Negro
AUTOMOBILE RUNNING AT HIGH
RATE OF SPEED TURNED OV
ER ON HIGHWAY NEAR THE
LLOYD STATION
Billy Trimble, 23-year-old Atlanta
Negro man, was killed instantly at
3:30 Sunday morning when the car
in which he and five others were
riding turned over near the B.
Lloyd place on route 42 just south
of the Indian Springs camp ground.
- Claude Munday, driver of the car,
is held in the Butts county jail on
a charge of reckless driving and
manslaughter, according to Sheriff
J. D. Pope who investigated the
wreck.
Other occupants of the car, a late
model Buick, were only slightly in
jured. The car is a complete wreck,
Sheriff Pope said.
The accident happened, the offi
cer said, when the automobile, dri
ven at a rate of speed estimated at
80 miles an hour, failed to take the
curve and turned over several
times. Signs on the payment, Sher
iff Pope reported, indicated a ter
rific rate of speed and that the car
turned over several times before it
came to a complete stop.
Trimble was pinned beneath the
wreckage and his body was badly
mangled.
The party of Atlanta Negroes
were going to Savannah, investiga
tion revealed.

Letter From Our
Congressman
Capitol Hill, Washington, D. C.,
February 21, 1942.
My dear Constituents: On Thurs
day, February 19th, the Senate by
a vote of 75 to 5 voted to repeal that
section of the Civil Service Retire
ment Act permitting elective offi
cers, such as the President, the vice
president, cabinet officers, senators
and congressmen to come under the
retirement system by contributing
five per cent of their salaries to
the retirement fund. The House
will vote on it next Monday, and by
the time you read this letter the
so called “pensions for Congress
men” act will be repealed. It should
be repealed. It should never have
been passed. While it was not a
“pension bill” at all, for it was in
fact an annuity for which those
electing to take it would have paid
premiums just about as high as the
insurance companies charge, m for
similar annuities, yet it was mislead
ing to the public and tended to shake
their confidence in the senators and
congressmen who passed the b,ill,
and the President who signed it.
This is no time for the passage
of social security legislation; it is
not time for waste and extravagance;
it is ito time for increase in wages
or increases in profits. This is no
time for strikes or “shut-downs” in
defense industries. This is no time
for shorter hours, or time and half
time for over 40 hours a week. At
this dark hour in our American his
tory the unceasing ikbor of every
person is vitally needed. Our na
tion’s very existence is at stake in
the bitterest and costliest war we
have ever engaged in.
To win this war it is going to take
the best efforts of all the American
people, and senators and congress
men are no exception to the rule;
but on the other hand, they stand
in a position to lead the way. I
hope and pray that we forget our
selves and everything else except
the welfare of our country, and do
only the things that will lead the
American people in the right path.
More than twenty-five years ago
a Southern congressman and hero,
Richmond Pearson Hobson, warned
this country of the aims of the Jap
anese. He called it the “Yellow
Peril” and he spoke on the subject
all over the land. The danger and
attack he warned us of has come
in almost the manner he predicted.
The Japanese hordes, well trained
and seasoned by their four years
of war in China, well equipped for
modern warfare, are swarming re
lentlessly over the East Indies. The
great fortress of Singapore that
Britain hoped was impregnable has
fallen, Rangoon and the entrance to
Burma threatened and the whole pic
ture in the Far East is as black as
midnight. Australia and Hawaii
may eventually become our advance
posts to hold fast against the Ger
man and Japanese attacks, but I be
lieve that from there eventually we
will be prepared to launch such an
offensive that will not only halt the
enemy but will recapture all the lost
territory. It may take a long time
to do this, but our people will pro
duce the arms and equipment with
which to do it when all of us realize
the man-sized job that is on our
hands. We will not have time for
quarreling, bickering, thinking first
of ourselves. We must get on an
all-out war program. The example
of MacArthur and his brave band is
before us. We will not fail them.
Sincerely,
A. SIDNEY CAMP, M. C.
