AUTOMOBILES IN MISSISSIPPI.


j Some Of the Mississippi towns are
beginning TO complain about the
!, speed with which automobile drivers
send their machines along. 1t is
right and proper TO put some re-
strictions upon the pace reckless
autoists are apt to set, but the South,
thus far, has been particularly for
tunate in possessing a comparative
ly conservative set OF automobile
owners. From the North, East and
West have come innumerable ac-
counts of accidents due to a frenzy
for fast speeding amounting almost
to insanity. Many Of these accidents
have been attributed to a species of
heartlessness which we believe does
not exist among the people Of this
section OF the country.
We refer to those reports of acct
dents wherein the automobile driv-
ers and their companions have driven
their machines and footed thelrI
horns i'll a way leading to the belief
that they enjoyed the fright of the
victims prior to the fatal accidents.
Several reports of this sort have
come from New York, at least a half
dozen are chronicled among the au-
accidents in and about
Chicago and quite as many more are
credited to San Francisco and Los
Angeles.
The South has none of these hor-
rible murders charged against it,
there have been a few fatal
accidents of the ordinary kind due
o an over degree Of r~ecklessness on !.
he part of the automobile driver. !
In placing restrictions on the pace :,
these machines both municipality ]
md Commonwealth should be as !
generous as possible, for there is no !
ioubt that the automobile is the
orerunner Of good roads. Farmers l
an very we'll afford to stand a short
eason of frightened horses and !
catering poultry if due to the fight
# the "tuff-tuff' machine by his !
ZONE. 1t means that the blessings i
4 good roads is to follow-not al 4
mere mile or so of creditable roadway /!
tut many and many miles of excel /
thoroughfare. 8
Mississippi in particular has been 1
nd is now an attractive field for the 4
utomobile owner. More than one 4
of these gentlemen have I
'oked long and earnestly at the map 1
that State with the view of sug- I
and working for an automo- I
lie way from its northern limit to I
Gulf Coast. 1t is only a ques- !
on Of time before some such road +
be built and when it becomes a
'allty it will prove of incalculable 9
alue to Mississippi and its citizens. z
