THE LAW OF THE ROAD.

(From the st. Adams Messenger)
There is one part of the rule Of
the road" of importance to all wao
travel the Highways, which perhaps Is
not understood as we'll as II ought
to be. It Is found in Act 14l, Sec. !,
and reads as follows: "a person
driving or riding a horse or other
draft animal or operating an automo-
bile or motor vehicle shall on over
taking n horse, draft animal. or vehi-
Gle. when It is safe and practicable
to do so, pass on the left side thereof
and the person riding or driving 4
horse or draft animal or operating an
automobile or motor vehicle shall.
when it is safe and practicable to do
so, turn to the right so as to allow
free passage on the left" This Is
plain. but it seems that there is either
no knowledge of it or II is misunder-
stood. more especially in the country
districts. 1t simply means that thu
horse or vehicle ahead should always
keep to the right 1t should not turn
out to the left so that those behnt
may keep to the right Their place
is not the right, it is at the left II
there be a misunderstanding of this
there is opportunity for accident. In
truth. such misunderstanding has
already caused accidents. Tho man
behind. expecting the man ahead to
keep to the right. makes his turn to
the left. The man ahead, not obeyinS
the 'law of the road" but not mean
ing any wrong. also turns to the left
and the crash follows. For violation
of this section of the law there is n
penalty of 81 But not so much as
to avoid a fine as to avoid an acct
dent should careful observance Of this
section be had

MALDY'S SUCCESS.
SOK,

From the Malone. y. y. Farmer)
The Watertown Times states that, witf
the death OF Representative George r.
Malby. it is expected that Speaker Mer-
rift Of Potsdam will make vigorous cam
yass to succeed him. that he will have
back of him the republican machine in
ST. Lawrence county. OF which he is the
leader, and his chances for the nominal
ton are believed to tie good. That paper
adds Significantly. however that Speak
err Merritt can run things political about
as he wants them in St. Lawrence coun-
ty. but when he extends his territory OYER
into the eastern part Of the congressional
district, which consists Of Clinton, Frank
lin. Essex and st. Lawrence counties. he
may find some opposition" This, Of
course. is from the outside. From the IN
side there seems 10 he some question
whether Mr.. Merritt will be a candidate
for this added honor, and we have already
heard the names of Major Daniels Of
Ogdenshurg and District Attorney Crap
ser Of Massena mentioned. 1t would not
be surprising to hear of other candidates
from St Lawrence. as we'll as candidates
from the other counties of the district,
and under the new direct primary law.
where no nomina ding convention is held,
It may not be perfectly clear sailing for
any favorite son. The district Will no
doubt remain unrepresented for the bal
ance OF this congressional session. which
will last only a few weeks longer: and at
the November election whoever IS elected
for the regular term to succeed Congress
man Malby will probably be also elected
10 fill the vacancy beginning with the
December session and continuing till the
fourth of next March.

ed as exempt. Mr.. Hall, who formerly
operated the Crystal pharmacy does
not follow the usual course of bank

of the act of Congress passed in 1910
which provides that an insolvcnt may
make an offer of settlement to his credi-
tors and that if majority of these
agree to adopt it before the court of
ficals. the insolvent receives his dis
charge without going through the regu'
lar process of bankruptcy. He thus
avoids being in name a bankrupt.
