a plea of guilty to reckless opera
tion, Lee Benjamin Pollock, Wil
mington taxi official, was fined
$15.00 and costs by Judge J. W.

parked it there and went to sleep.
At 5:00 a. rn., the Pollock car

and struck the properly parked
Skipper car. Both cars were badly
damaged.

together with that of Vesta, was
established by Tatius, king of the
Sabines, and his temple in Rome
was built by Romulus.

Watts was on the gulf with a
Chapel Hill party, composed of
A. S. Tufts, Ernest Neal, Arthur
Ward, E. W. Goodrich ana Harold
Gee. They brought in eleven bar
racuda and five amberjacks, the
16 fish averaging 25-pounds each.
