Great Opportunity.

Chattanooga, Tenn, January
l5.-Great opportunities for eX-
pnnsion of the cotton goods
trade with the South American
countries are open now that the
European mills have been cur
tailed and n number of Southern
cotton mills are taking active
steps to capture a generous
share of this trade, declares
Charles Lyon Chandler, South
American Agent of Southern
Railway, who calls attention TO
the following interesting
figures
OF the $4,000, 900 of cotton
goods imported by Chile in 1912,
only $4,000 came from this
country, Germany, whose trade
is now cut off, supplied $780,
600, and Great Britain the rest.
In the same year, Argentina
bought $50, 100000 of w h j c h
81, 527 900 came from Germany,
over $1,000, 900 from England
and only S445, 800 from this
country. OF the $4,000, 900 of
cotton goods imported by Brazil,
$3.SUo,000 came from Germany,
Sil,000,00o from England, and
only $32g,000 from this country.
Figures in regard to wooden
goods and cutlery into the South
American countries show
similar opportunity.

MOTORISTS SHOULD OBSERVE
THE "RULES OF THE ROAD"

Motor accidents are usually the result
sf failure to observe the rules of tho
road" It is estimated that more than
90 per cent. Of automobile mishaps occur
to drivers who have not formed the fine
habits" of motoring.
They fail to signal when they are go
Ing to turn right or left. They think
there is no need to signal when the road
seems deserted and they feel sure no
one Is around. These drivers should con
sider the railroad, which Is constantly
tooting or changing or moving the arms
q senlaphore signals
An drivers should observe the following
rules, in the interest of safety first
Il there is a bush, a hillock, a twisting
+ turn ahead-use your horn vigorously,
specially in the daytime. At night the
headlights give notice of your approach
and the horn becomes a supplemental
signal.
Get the habit of putting on your lights
about half hour before sundown. Then
you will be sure. The expense of the half
hours extra lighting may be charged TO
indemnity insurance.
When you are about to enter a main
road, slow down. 1t is conceded that
mainroad traffic has the right of way
SLOW down before hidden crossings at
al times. A car or team is likely to
pop out upon you when 1t Is too late to
stop or Jockey your car to safety,
Bridges and eulverts often have little
pump where they join the roadbed. Slow
down for them. A sudden, sharp shlver Is
had for tires, springs and all parts that
might suffer from vibration, including
your passengers.
II you have to repair a tire or wish to
put up your top or have to stop for any

you want to stop-pull TO the side Of the
road. The roadbed is for motion. Get out

block the road convlcts motorist OF be-
Ing jay driver.
This instruction is especially to be as
amilated by drivers of small cars
whether they want to show they can be
