A CIVIC PROBLEM
With Tito increased amount of car
owners in our county comes tho incrcns-
< d amount of nccidents. Every car
owner should be careful how and whoro
they drive. Tho pedestrian soonts to
Ihink that they ^avo the right-of-way
and if the car owner thinks the same
then something happens.
Before getting into one of those
moods let tho largo amount of casualties
present itself to you.
Wo givo you below some figures of
the amount of people that were killed
for the past threo years:
In the year 1919 approximately 10,000
people lost their lives through the
carolcss operation of automobiles. In
1920 this number incrcnBcd to more
than 11,000; in 1921 to 12,500, and in
1922 to over 14,000. This year the fig
ures are above last year and tho year is
rot gone.
Tho traffic hazard, however, is only
one of tho causes of accidents which,
during 1922, killod more than 75,000
people and injured in the neighborhood
of 2,000,000. Accidents occur daily, not
only in our streots and at railway cross-
•ings s but in our homes, schools, public
buildings nnd industrial plants. Seven
ty-five por cent are preventable,
Tho Carroll County Chapter will hold
a Red Cross Roll Call beginning No-* - '
vombor 11th nnd continuing through ,
Novomber 29th, It is urged that ev- ?
urybody givo their help to this cnll for
membership. If you are not already a
member become one, and if yon arc
already a member renew'your mem
bership during the next call, Carroll
county’s quota for members is 700 this
year. We want to reach that quota,
and can, if everybody will give their
support. During the time from July
I, 1917, to Juno 30, 1923, the American
Red Cross spent nationally nnd through
its chapters more than $ 1(53,000,000 in
service to tho men who wore the Amer
ican uniform in tho world war nnd to
their fnmilies. During the last fiscal
ar $7,000,000 was spent in this work.
Last year tho Red Cross spent $525,000
for relief in 110 disasters. This is not
the limit of tho work of the Red Cross,
it is only a few statistics to show just
what is being done. In our immediate
community the Red Cross is being con-
inually called upon for help.
Join tho Red Cross during this cam
paign. It is only one dollar per year.
Wo want everybody enrolled.—Carroll

“It is time for us all to
change our tactics.”
Said Judge Eve, of Tifton Circuit, to the Jury:
“I am tired of talking about pistol toters, bootleg
ger* and petty thieves. They seemingly have their
place in the world and there i* apparently a never-,
failing source of supply. This jury knows the dan
gerous character of such offense* and will diligently
seek and relentlessly present such, offenders."
Therefore, \yithout excuse or apology, I am going
to plunge headlong into the subject of Agriculture.
We believe that we all should plunge headlong into
Agriculture, if for no other reason than our own
SALVATION. Let's go!
