THE AUTOS RIGHT or WAY.
Autoists Have Rights, But They Are
Not Unlimited.

Editor Courier: Over ny own
signature wish to express my opin-
ion concerning a subject vital to
every citizen Of the country-a sub
ject which has hitherto been dis
cussed more readily in private than
in public. Newspaper articles of
the right kind do not appear often
!>lating to the owners Of automo-
b.les and the public interests. ! Of
course stand for progress along all
lines, and believe anything which is
beneficial to majority Of our citi-
zen5 to hc cOmmendabie. II is, how
ever, often difficult to determine the
legal and ethical relations which
ought to exist between two or more
glasses Of people, such, for instance,
rs the capitalists and the laborers of
our country. While progress in our
industrial and social life should not
be stopped outright, nor that part
OF it which bears upon the general
development OF the State or nation
in any way retarded, yet the COM
mon interests Of the different occu-
pations and professions, the different
grades OF social life, and OF the dif-
ferent colorS Of men must be zeal
ously guarded. There is an ideal
condition, and although It may be
an impoSSibility to materialiZe 1t,
we certainly ought to approach 1t
more nearly than we do.
AS | conceive the rights which be-
long to our common citizenship, "
appears that any one has right to
own and to operate an automobile
at least so long as he Injuries not his
fellow man nor detracts from his
interests in any way. But the own
ers Of machines are not the only
citizens who have rights to be pro-
tected. They have no right, legal
or moral. to monopolize the public
roads. 1t must be said, to the credit
OF automobile drivers in our county,
that they are generally very courte-
Gus. But there are exceptions.
Some men are discourtcous all the
time. Their ownership of an auto
mobile doesn't, Of course. affect
their moral character. My recon-
mendation has reference solely to
these exceptions. Rhctt Doyle.

BRAINS AND ENERGY TO Kill.
Boil W%yil-IIazy and Shiftlcss Far
mcr Prey to Pest.

Auburn, Ala, July 29.--The lazy
FARMER, the shiftless farmer, Is the
especial prey of the boil weevil
brains and energy are the only wea-
pons with which to fight the pest, ac-
coridng to DR.. Tate Butler, editor of
the Southern Farm Magazine and
Progressive Farmer, of Starksvillc,
Miss, who addressed the farmers
summer school here to-day.
Early planting of cotton, breeding
OF cotton to select early fruiting va
rietics, and rotation OF crops were
outlined by DR.. Butler as the spe-
cilic means Of thwarting the boil
weevil.
'The farmer who gets i'm the grass
IS lost" he said. "The lazy farmer,
who does not clean out his cotton by
October /, is lost"
The days session Thursday was
characterized by practical talks on
interesting phases Of farm life, in
Guiding corn breeding and selection,
home manufacture of tiles for under
drainage and instruction in draining,
fertilizers, truck farming and Sheep
raising.
In connection with the sheep in

GREENVIILE FARMERS FIGHT,
One Man in Serious Condition, tho
Other is in Jail

Grccnville, July 2S.-Bad feeling
Gus affray here yesterday between.
Arthur Roper and William Trotter,
two wcll-known farmers, about three
miles from the city, in which Trot-
ter had two ribs broken, nose
broken, skull fractured and some
other physical injuries Of more or
less serious nature. He Is in a criti-
cal condition and Roper is in Jail,
bail having been refused him by the
magistrate.
Details concerning the encounter
are contradictory and hard to obtain
accurately, but reports say that Ro-
per was in wagon in the road and
was accosled by Trotter, who, it is
said, cursed him. In the affray which
followed Roper is said to have used
rocks as his weapons. Other re-
ports are that Trottcr also had q
knife.
Both men are well known in this
section. Trotter is a middle aged
man, while Roper is about 80 years
OF age.
Roper was arrested and lodged in
jail, his bond being refused by the
magistrate until there is some change
for the better in Trotter's condition.
