AUTOMOBILISTS RESPECT
TRAFFIC RULES AT GORDON

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 12.--Atlanta au-
tomobilists pay no more attention to
the traffic laws or the traffic policemen
than do the automobilists of other
cities, but they certainly respect the
traffic laws and the traffic soldiers at
Camp Gordon, the great cantonment
thirteen miles north of Atlanta where
more than 10000 troops of the Ma
tional army will be trained to fight in
France.
Camp Gordon law requires that no
machine shall be driven at speed ex-
ceeding twelve miles an hour on any
road running through the camp, or
beside the camp, and twelve miles an
hour IS the speed limit observed by
the automobiles. Alongside the camp
runs the main road leading from At
lanta north, and there is constant
stream of travel back and forth. Driv-
ers may hit it up on the good stretches
io1 III VI tuO camp eSlAu SOubh VI thS
camp, but when they enter the military
zone they put the brakes on their ac-
celerators.
Moreover, theb last of the traffic po-
liceman warning cars to stop while
cars in the opposite direction pass a
certain stretch of road where the
width is too narrow for passing, al
ways has the desired effect.
The disregard of municipal traffic
laws and municipal officers in con-
trast with the scrupulous obedience of
military laws and military policemen
affords a striking commentary on the
difference between the respect of the
people for local authority and federal
authority

September report. The October re-
port forecasts 1,S60UU0 bales against
100000 bales forecast in September,
a decrease of 10000 bales. Produc-
ton in 1916 was / S20,939 bales,
which would mean that the present
crop with its heavy deterioration,
still will be an increase over the
previous year. Whether the deterio-
ration is of such nature as to affect
materially the prices does not yet
appear.
