AN ABUSED PRIVILEGE.

Both the postal authorities and the
contractor have abused the previous
exemption which the Board OF Aldermen
gracefully accorded by way of Difference
to the federal government. and now
stand together; try by specious srgu-
ments to justify themselves, and ask to
be still exempted. IL Is submitted that
this carries its own answer"
1t is hard-nay. almost impossible. for
the pedestrian TO conceive in what fash
ion the right of way is imperiIled or the

ing to keep eight feet away from a
stopped car. or TO so at less than

or generally run amuck. IL Is difficult.
says Mr.. Cobb, to see how any act OF
Congress relating to the right of way
or obstructing mails can override
local law that places only a reasonable
restraint uoon the passage OF the mails.
The earliest case in point was United
States against Hart, | Peters Circ. CT.
Reports, D. 800 (also 3 Wheeler G. e.,

by Judge Bushrod Washington and Judge
Peters, of the Circuit Court of the
United States.

Mr.. Stewart. the Second Assistant

He does not tell us just what the
governments rights are except that he
intimates that all the city streets are

peril.
This is hardly a worthy action for
a great government 10 take. viz. to
exercise one of its functions in complete
disregard of local sovereignty IL does
not do TO say that the mail contractor
will cause his drivers to be good in the

MAYNARD GIRLS
HOME PLANNED
IN GEORGIA
Leaders in Georgia Assembly Will
Support Movement for In
Stitution of Reform.

Leaders in the Georgia Assembly.
both in the House and Senate have
agreed to support a bill providing for
the establishment of a reformatory or
Industrial home for hayward girls by
the State.
The proposed move by the Legis-
lature has received the Endorsement of
most of the Superior Court judges
and all of the womens clubs in the
State.
The fact is stressed that while the
State Reformatory at Milledgeville is
designed, under the law, to take care
of both boys and girls, II has only
resources sufficient to care for way
ward boys, and that in establishing a
home for wayward girls the Legisla-
: ture will carry out what the Georgia
law already contemplates.
There is no institution in Georgia
at present where young girls who
have become hayward through cir
cumstance or environment can be
saved from threatened ruin and vice.
Legislators lndorse.
Among the Senators who have
agreed to support his measure are
Randolph Anderson, Of Chatham; D.
H. Elkin, of Ben Hill; b. S. Miller, Of
Muscogee; G. d. Perry, Of Morgan:
r. T. DuBose, of Clarke; w. w.
Stark, of Jackson; NJ. D. Irwin. Of
Gwinnett; J. w. Brown. of Barlow;

Among the members of the House
who will support the measure are E

Barlow: w. A. DOdd, Of Barlow;

The proposed institution will he
known as the Georgia State Industrial
Home for Girls 1t will be for girls
of Is years of age and under The
question of proper location for the
industrial home will be decided by a
board of managers to be appointed by
the Governor.
The measure proposes that every
girl who is committed to the institu-
ton shall be given proper moral and
intellectual training, and shall receive
training in every branch of household
work.
Judges will be empowered 10 COM
nit to this institution any girl under
l6 years of age who is guilty Of mis-
deneanor or who habitually associ-
ates with vicious or immoral per-
sons, or who is incorrigible TO such an
extent that she can not be controlled

John Holder and Passenger Have
Narrow Escape From
Injury.

John Holder and Iris Taylor had a
narrow escape from serious if not fatal
injury last Friday night when the au-
tomohile in which they were riding
crashed into anoIner car on the Dan

Holder had taken several OF the
young ladies composing the cambridge
basket ball team home in his car.
Young Taylor rode the running board
on the tripto cambridge, and after
safely depositing their passengers, Hol-
der started with his car back to New
port. ....
The boys basket ball team had made
the journey to Newport in three seat
ed trap and were Oh their way back to
cambridge, also, but had only one
cylinder IN action. Young Holder
knew this, and as he thought the Dan
bridge machine was in trouble, and as
it was going SO slowly he believed ii
was at standstili. He turned his cal
| to the lett side OF the road with-the
idea OF lending assistance, when to his
surprise the cambridge car crashed in
to his light car. Young Taylor took a
! header through the windshield, the
glass taking off portions of the skin OF
, his face. Holder was pinioncd 10 his
seat by his steering wheel, and suffer.
ed slight internal injuries. The basket
ball team was shaken up, but no one
hurt. The Holder car, though, was
badly damaged and had to be left by
