SOME HINTS FOR THE AUTOMO.
BILE OWNER

Accidents to automobiles have been
increasing at a most alarming rate, ",
that it is incumbent upon every one
driving or riding in motor cars to be
more careful.
The dangers of motoring in crowded
cities, fast driving in suburbs, and
the utter disregard Of the "other fell
low" cannot be over exaggerated. I'm
fortunately there are a good many
drivers who think they own the road.
To this selfishness more than nine
tenths of all motor casualties are
due.
The chief perils which befall auto
mobiiists are skidding and collisions.
The fact that these dangers can be
entirely eliminated by careful driving
proves beyond a doubt that the acct
dents which occur are in most cases
nothing but criminal negligence. If
the driver exercises only a reasonable
care for the welfare of his passengers
and the public, accidents are prevent
ed,
In the typical collision We invariably
have the reckless driver. In most
cases of skidding the driver is re-
sponsible. If tire chains" are used,
safety is thoroughly secured, and
skidding is merely a by-word.
For the benefit of humanity some
sort of educative campaign should be
misunderstanding drivers of Their
responsibility. There are five facts
which automatically ought to suggest
themselves to the drivers every time
he grasps the wheel
/. Keep to the right of the road.
2. Release clutch-turning corners.
3. Use chains on wet pavements.
4. Slow down--stop before crossing
railroad tracks.
5. Never take chance"

THE BUSINESS VENTURE OF Two
RESOURCEFUL WOMEN

In the November Womans Home
Companion appears an account of the
successful business venture of two re-
sourceful women who, with one hun
dred dollars, capital, started a tea
room In their city. Their venture has
worked out we'll and in another year
they hope to have larger quarters,
servants and an up-to-date kitcheh.
They have gained experience, found
out the wishes of the people, paid for
their original equipment. provided At
salary for each of the two ever
month, and put something in bank for
another year Following is an extra 1t
from their account of what they did:
Every day before the opening hour
We made fudge, cocoanut and pepper-
mint candy and before the day closed
there was not piece left. Orders
were taken for chicken salad and
sandwiches, and we decid I'd to try
serving light luncheon every day
consisting of rolls. butter, something
to drink and hot dish of some kind
-patties, oysters, cream ID chicken,
deviled crabs, etc, or salad Only ona
hot dish and one kind of salad was at
tempted each day We added n sim
| pie desert to our menu, and served
club sandwiches, as we'll as AL other
varieties. A nearby Exchange furn-
ished us with homemade rolls, and
these were heated in our oven. A
friend lent us a fieless cooker SO that
we could keep our principal luncheon
dish hot and have our stove free.
I'VE did the cooking, served the
| people, cleared the tables, and WASHED
the dishes ourselves. A woman cam
in every morning to do the heavy
cleaning and sweeping for the day.
Our cash box always stood open on
the desk, and many days our guests
had to pay their own bills and make
change for themselves, for we we're too
busy to attend to 1t. Let me say that
we never lost penny by It. Twenty.
five cents was all we asked for orr
regular luncheon, with everything else

THE PILLAR OF VALUES

The roads of Sumter county are at
tracing attention ALI over the state
The Atlanta Constitution of last Sun
day contained the following editorial
THE Pillar of Values"
The big Ebaugh plantation in Sum-
ter county was recently sold for $50,
600. 1t has changed hands several
times within the past few years. Our
correspondent at Americas reports,
significantly that the enhancement of
values characterizing each transaction
has been much more marked since the
creation of Sumters magnificent sys
tenn of highways
Good roads constitute the pillar OF
values in the country, just as we'll as
paved and graded streets determine
the value of property in cities. The
principle is automatic. 1t has been
proved on an intensive scale by the
experience of Sumter, so far as the
country is concerned. The experience
of Atlanta is a dramatic illustration
for cities.
Go into the most progressive coun-
ties In Georgia, and Sumter is one of
them, and you will find good roads
You will not find bad roads. In a few
of the counties, you will find what
may be called a spotted condition
Much of the county will re cover I'd
by excellent highways. Here and there
will be corners of isolated areas with
impossible highways. If you will in
quire, you will find that these isolated
areas have the poorest values in the
county. You are apt, also, to find that
they are self-quarantined
1t is in recognition OF these facts
that The Constitution has devoted
hundreds of pages of space to the job
OF encouraging good roads in Georgia.
For if good roads comprise the pill
lar of values for the single farm and
the single county, they comprise also
the pillar of values for the whole state
No state is richer than It's roads are
straight and negotiable, the year round
Georgia ought to be the richest ter
ritory Of its size in America
1t has the natural resources, all CT
them.
1t has, In the convicts, the road
builders 1t has, in the soon-to-be-in-
augurated state supervision, the final
tool.
The rest must be left to the counties
themselves"

Every County in State
Will Observe November Is
Georgia Product Day

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 8.-(SpeciaD -.
From the Tennessee line to Florida,
and from the Savannah River to Ala
bama, Georgia is preparing for such i
demonstrations, of the availability of
her products for home-consumption
as no state has ever ventured upon
The all-Georgia dinner idea originated
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
has spread all over the state, so that
scarcely a county will be omitted and
in not few instances, several towns
in the same county will have public
dinners. President c. ]. Haden IS
talking of the prospect, after a whiri-
wind campaign of the state, says he is
convinced that not less than 200 din
ners will be held Nov 18th, at which
not an article will be seen that is not
Georgia-raised or Georgia-manufac-
tured. From the big affairs like Ar
lanta's, which will see not less than
1900 diners, and Macons which is 70
be not only all-Georgia, but Maconian
throughout, to the smallest county IL
Georgia every one is determined 10
show not only the rest of the Stata,
but even the whole country how re-
sourcelul it is alone in soil-products,
| but in manufactures.
The dinner idea grew out OF a state
ment by the department of agriculture
that Georgia could support 10000 0)
people in comfort, even if wall was
built around it shutting out every out
alton to know that some of the coun-
{ ties are so blessed that it can produce
enough by themselves, without calling
upon the rest of the State even. This
! is shown in statements from half
dozen or more. One county boasts
that it will serve 200 homegrown az
ticles at it's dinner; another sends in
list of 141 products. while hundred
is common. AS Acting Secretary Man
! ager C. d. Mckinney, of the State
Chamber, says, Georgia is greater
than even the best boosters imagined.
That the dinner of all-Georgia
articles is not local or confined to
any one section of the state is shown
by the following digest or reports re.
ceived at the state headquarters, 1901
