A new way of stopping speeders through Norwood was used by Policeman King there other day. A Charlotte man failed to observe the speed limit and when flagged he speeded still more. Mr. King grabbed a lose wagon wheel and threw it in front of the car, to the driver’s consternation. He untangled his machine from the wobbly wheel and came back raving. “Hey! Whatcha doin?” he demanded.
“Stopping you,” replied the officer.
“You’re liable to kill a man, doing that,” the driver argued.
“So are you—driving like that” said King. The major later said $25—which was the last word.
