WORKING TO BETTER

Model Laws That Win Probably Soon

New York, Sept 30.-The National
Highways Protective Society of New
York is working for better automo-
bile regulations in this state. The
society viii Task for the appointment
by the governor of highway commits
sion, to consist of three members,
which shall have the sole power of
issuing licenses to drivers of automo-
biles and motor cycles upon satisfac-
tory examination. The new law also
provides that the license shall be re-
voked in case the driver of a car is
found to be intoxicated or has been
arrested for reckless driving and con-
victed more than once. Another fea-
ture of the law is the imposing of an
annual tax based on the horsepower of
the machine, the rate being 81 per
horsepower The income derived
from this tax is to be used in the i'm
provement of the highways. Massa-
chusetts offers a good example of the
efficacy and excellence of most of the
points suggested.

TENNESSEE STILL A WET STATE,

One can easily imagine the chagrin
of the prohibitionists of Tennessee at
the discovery that their state is dry
only in one sense, and that it is still
a flowing well of whisky and beer to
it's neighboring dry states. Under a
recent decision of the Chancellor it
appears that the wholesalers, distil-
lers and brewers still have the right
to ship their products into other
states Under the statute the manu-
facturers of intoxicating liquors We're
not put out of business until January
1, 1910, while the sale of liquors was
stopped on July /, 1909. OF course it
was supposed that the brewers and
distillers would discontinue operations
and as the law specifically put a stop
to the sale of liquors in Tennessee no
one imagined that the wholesalers
would find any loophole by which they
could remain doing business at the
same old stands.
A test case was made by one con-
Germ. though, which asserted it's right
to do an interstate business, on the
ground that the legislature of Tonnes
see could not legislate this right
away from it. This view having been
sustained a number of the jobbers
have again resumed operations and
will proceed to fill orders from Geor-
gia and other states.
OF course this is serious weakness
in the Tennessee situation. When next
January comes the distiliers and
brewers propose to assert their legal
right to continue to manufacture pro-
vided their stuff is shipped out of
Tennessee. If the courts sustain
them in this position Tennessee will
be in the peculiar position of prohibit
ting the sale of intoxicants within
it's borders and at the same time hav-
ing them manufactured and shipped
out of the state on orders coming to
merchants doing business in its own
cities.
If it is legal for wholesaler to do
business in dry Tennessee, provided
he confines his operations purely to
an interstate business, is it not likely
that the same contention will be rails
ed in behalf of those who would like
to do an interstate business out of
Georgia, or any other dry state? 1t
may be that the Tennessee law is de-
fcient in some respects, but after all
of the prohibition legislation that has
been enacted it would indeed be pecu-
liar il such loophole was allowed
to creep into a law so recently enact
ed Evidently there are some legal
questions growing out of prohibitory
legislation that are yet unsettled.

POWER DRIVEN PLOWS IN SUMTER

If any further evidence was needed
as to the progressive character of ag-
riculture in Sumter county it is fur
nished in the statement that two of
the largest and most enterprising
farmers near Americas have ordered
plows operated by gasoline, and that
hereafter, at least in the initial break
ing up of their broad fields, the pa
tient, plodding and time-honored mule
will be dispensed with.
Other large farmers, it is said, are
contemplating introducing a similar
innovation, and it is not improbable
that when next spring comes the
ground will be broken up on score
of Sumter county farms with power
pIows.
or course a pillow of this character
can only be used to advantage on
large and we'll cleared fields. 1t has
been suggested and the suggestion
seems an eminently practicable one
that a neighborhood pillow would not
he bad fixture, a power pillow that
could be utilized on a number Of
small farms. Inasmuch as such g
plow takes the place Of eighteen
mules, and cuts a streak ii feet wide
through the field, it is apparent that
one pillow would serve a number Of
small farms in the same neighborhood
much in the same way that the great
reaping machines are said to serve
small grain growers in the West
Whether this be done, and it is not
unlikely that it will be, it is practical
ly an established fact that on all 81
the larger plantations of Sumter coun-
ty plows will soon in use. This evil
dence of the progressive spirit Of the
leading planters speaks volumes for
the future development of the county
With good roads, the highest grade
of farming implements, and men OF
this type driving agricultur ahead to
its highest development, there is nc
gainsaying the fact that the outlook
in this vicinity grows brighter with
every year. The steam or gasoline
driven plow is but one of many signs
that tell of the new spirit that has
taken possession of the land and that
is nowhere better exemplified than in
Sumter county.
