Goldsboro Paper Claims It Has Most Law-Abiding City in the State, April 27, 1926

Goldsboro Is the Most Law Abiding City in the State

Goldsboro is becoming a better city, as well as a larger one.

The News is in position to vouch for this and points to the fact that Mayor Zeno Hollowell had only one case in his court on Monday morning, as concrete evidence that Goldsboro people are growing better and better as the days pass and that there is not a more law-abiding city of 20,000 souls in the United States.

And this lone offender wasn’t charged with being drunk or disorderly or raising old Ned in general, but faced only a charge of discharging firearms within the city limits.

For this offense he paid $25 and the costs of the case.
