An objectionable habit many driv- CTS have is to hold the middle of tho road and not bulge an inch for any other car, and one is either obliged to nearly pull up or run into the bank at the side of the road. There is mo trouble when turning corners for any one to keep on the proper side. and thereby do away with danger to them selves and others to a very great eE- tent and. make things more pIeas9nt all around.

The information he might get would

and wondered if he was crazy. linen

he was before the trenches! No men
were there. He made sure of it. Then
he crawled up to the top of the en-

crawled along the trench cautiously.

KINGS AND PAWNS.

The just-issued British and German
white books" which give the mes
sages that passed among the various
European capitals Immediately before
the outbreak of war agree closely as
to facts. They amount to these:
Austria wanted 10 punish Servia for
veXins her with political conspiracies
and for alleged conniving at the kill
ing Of her crown prince. Germany
endorsed Austrias case and gave her
carte blanch TO go ahead Russia
thought Austria's demands too sweep
ing and feared Teutonic combine to
block her advance in the Balkans.
Thus fearing the Russian bureaucracy
prepared to fight. France ached for
revenge on Germany; Austria went
ahead so fast and so far that Ger
many at the last minute, couldn't
pull her back; somebody in Russia
made the czar look like "A liar in deny
ing mobilization which had already
begun; England exhausted every dip
lomatic resource in her efforts To keep
the peace, but refused to break faith
with France; the war dogs of all the
powers got their bristles up; and, first
thing outsiders knew the war was on.
On their surface these diplomatic
exchanges reveal surprisingly little
excuse for so murderous struggle.
Below the surface, however, and be-
tween the lines, we see irresistible ha-
tired. jealOusies, vanities and distrust,
no doubt secretly egged on by pro-
fessiOnal soldiers anxious TO test the
tools Of their trade and eager for the
limelight
But the outstanding thing in these
the thing that To Ameri-
cans is hardest TO understand, is the
pitiable part taken by the people who
must now pay with their property and
their lives. During the whole period
of the interchanges they were not once
consulted \ mere handful of men, in
power under the antique claim Of di-
vine right. moved them as pawns,
blindfolded-moved them to misery or
death.
In after years, when passion shall
have cooled and the great conflict
comes 10 be reviewed calmly, there
seems certain to be- il civilization is to

NOTHING TO gE PROUD OF.

Why should we Doe proud Of those
two hundred Americans who enlisted
in Paris TO fight for France? Is that
maintaining neutrality? It's all right
enough 10 appreciate what France did
Tor us IN our days Of trial, but we
should also be grateful for the part
German soldiers played.
From our national standpoint those
Americans in Paris are no credit TO
their country. They should renouuge
their American citizenship and become
citizens of France.
The announcement that the stars
and stripes heads volunteers in
Paris is a serious reflection on the
flag, American citizens cannot afford
70 be anything else than neutral i'm
the war Of the European nations.
There must be no sham in our neu-
trallty. II must be as honest as lt is
absolute n the republic would keep

WHERE is WILLIAM OF WED.

IL a gleam OF anything humorous
can be found i'm the present situation
the non combatant world may almost
be excused for making the most OF IL
and allowing itself half smile, even
as one is inclined 10 smile at funerals
on the least provocation, merely as a
sort OF relief from the general strain.
IL has occurred 10 someone TO ask,
what has become of William of Wied
the Mpret OF Albanian" when the
storm broke. the little figurehead of
Albania, a prince and offensive to
the Albanians, was held on his totter-
ing throne by an international guard
consisting of German, French, Italian
and Austrian troops.
OF course, under the conditions these
forces could not work together for a
moment, and the first bit of news that
came through after the outburst was
that the international guard had been
ordered withdrawn. Whether II went
peacefully, or shooting at one another,
or merely looking at one another and
breathing hard, no one knows. Wheth-
er William of Wied was taken along
by some Of the forces, or whether in
the general hurry he was left tied TO
the throne, no one knew.
But a second report has come that
Albania is in a state OF anarchy and
that Prince William has fled To Venice.
The Albanians. said this dispatch,
were agreed only on two points. name
ly To pay no more taxes and TO refuse
They had had enough.
Ii is no wonder that civilized gov
eminent has become offensive TO the
semi -barbarous Albanians. when it
seems 10 represent 10 them merely the
eXaction Of taxes and the sacrifice of
their lives for something or other
about which they are not at all clear.

II have learned with the greatest

COL, JOE ABBOTT ANNOUNCES
CANDIDACY FOR LECISL AZURE

To the people of Cobb County, Geor-
gia.
In making my announcemet as
candidate for the Legislature to re-
present the people of this county in a
branch of the law making govern
ment am humbly sensible of my
own limitations and know there are
many of you who could compass
greater good than |; but | am moved
by an honorable ambition to serve
my people in this capacity and if
you should elect me as one of your
representatives l will do my best to
represent you-THE PEOPLE-and
not few organized demagogues.
Being fully conscious of the fact
that in asking your suffrage you
have complete right to know my
position on the issues that confront
us, l say to you:
County Government.
l am in favor of continuing our
present system of administering our
County affairs by board of Com
missioners elected in the five differ
ent road districts of the county. This
plan gives all sections of the county
immediate representation that in
ures to our good by bringing the
needs of the different sections to the
closer attention of our public au-
thorities.
ROADS.
| believe it best to work our con-
Vlcts upon the public roads. Good
roads tend to encourage and advance
the civilization of all the people and
our roads are a liability that we will
always have and it is only through
permanent built roads that our eX-
penditures in that direction will be
decreased and bring about an in
creased and contented population of
our whole county.
SCHOOLS.
If elected | shall support wise leg

islatton that is friendly to our schools
and that will bring them to a higher
standard. l believe our teachers
should be paid promptly and that
our school fund should reach the
schools without delay and interest
on them. Certain funds set apart
by law do not reach the county SUI
perintendents till December. shall
support such legislation that will
insure prompt payment of these
funds to the schools and | shall use
my every effort to find some way by
which the state may catch up with
her obligations to her schools. So
great state as Georgia should find
the way to promptly pay this her
greatest institution.
STATE RAILROAD.
L am opposed to the sale of the
Western & Atlantic Railroad pro-
perties and will lend my support to
the leasing of this valuable asset and
at the same time will endeavor to
obtain for the state a higher rental.
And keeping in mind that which is
fair and just l will try to secure for
this county primarily, then neces-
sarily the other counties in which
this road lies, a per centum of the
rent as a tax to aid in the expense
we have to bear in connection with
litigation for the lessees of this pro-
perty.
TAXES.
| shall seek to eliminate waste in
the administration of our govern
ment and shall strive to enforce
strict economy in our public officials
whereby our tax rate may be greatly
lowered.
Pledging myself to these princi-
pies, a square deal to the whole peo-
pie and respectfully asking your sup
port | submit my candidacy to you.
