Telling The Truth

1t is not pleasant and profit
able always to tell the truth In
the columns of "a newspaper.
Men who tried this heretofore
have always come to grief. Only
a few days ago the editor of a
paper in Indiana grew tired of
being called a liar, and announced
that he would tell the truth in
the future; and the next issue of
the paper contained the follow
ing items:
John BONN, the LATEST mer-
chant in town, made a trip to
Belleville yesterday.
John Coyle, our grocer man,
is doing a poor business. His
store is dirty and dusty. How
can he do much?
Rev. Styx preached last Sun
day night on Charity. The ser
mon was punk.
Davis Sonkey died at his
home in this place. The doctor
gave it out as heart failure.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

Recent statistics show that auto
mobile accidents have been reduced
the past year or two when reckoned
IT proportion to the number of cars in
use. While this is true, the large in
crease in the number of automobiles
IT. service runs the list of fatalities
higher and higher each year.
1t may be expected that the increase
will continue for some time, though
the public is being awakened by the
alarming number Of accidents and
fatalities and already steps are be-
iEg taken to reduce the danger from
automobiles.
When we consider the number of
automobiles that are used, over roads
and streets of all kinds, run by driv-
ers Of all kinds-many inexperienced
and many drunk-and considering
that these cars run on rough country
roads at the same speed that rail
roads trains make on steel tracks and
good road bed it is not to be wonder
ed that there are many fatalities. The
wonder is that more deaths do not
result
Legislation SO far, has done very
little to check the speed madness.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-01-07

The law regulating the age of chauf-
feurs is not observed in this section,
and the light regulations are treated
with contempt. In cities there is a
chance to regulate the speed and con-
duct OF the automobile, but in the
country the autoist has a free hand,
usually.
In the course Of years there will be
better understanding of the dan
ger and weaknesses Of the automobile.
l. may re expected that in the course
OF time this speed madness which is
often nothing more than a disposition
OF some autoist to try out his car, will
settle down of itself and the danger
to autoist and innocent hy-standers
will be reduced.
Legislation will do its part.
Agitation will do its part.
Time will do it's part.
And the fearful accidents and
heavy losses of life will do their part
in giving us an automobile traffic
more safe and sane-Moultrie
