shall turn his vehicle to the right so
as to give cEe-balf the travelled road

tunity to the other to pass without
unnecessary interference" is too in
definite to be enforceable at law.
Effect of the decision is to practically
rullify the legal standing of the So

with juries trying damage suits to
decide where the faul lies in all in
stances where such suits grow out OF
collisions or accidents on the public

JURY EXEMPTIONS

MACON, Ga, Jan. 23.-Despite the
fact that the military company former
ly known as the Macon Volunteers has
been taken into the federal service
lost its identity as local organization
and is now in France as part of the
famous Rainbow division, thirty jury
exemptions, owned by that company,
are to be continued in force. This has
been decided by Judge Mathews, Of
the Bibb superior court, and Judge
Guerry of the city court of Macon. The
Hassars and the Floyd Rifles, no long

owned by them are no longer in force.
The Volunteers still maintain an
organization in Macon, with duly cleo
ed officers and also have a lease on
several store buildings on which they
Lay taxes and insurance and which
they are compelled to keep in repair
To aid in keeping up the property the
county has set aside jury exemptions
which are sold to prominent Macon
business men who would rather put
up 800 than be subject to jury service.

HOUSEWIVES Up
IN ARMS AGAINST
NEW DELIVERY
ACCUSTOMED TO ORDER AN Sc
CURE QUICK DELIVERY, NEW
ORDER is RESENTED.

The housewives Of Americus are up
in arms against the grocers and
butchers. That is, good many of
these good ladies are complaining be-
cause of the new system of deliveries
instituted by Americus merchants and
retailers generally.
Ladies accustomed to step to their
phones and order their supplies at
any hour, having these delivered lin
time for dinner" or "in time for sup
per-" as the case happened, found this
privilege cut off today, and few of
them hesitated to "speak their nina
about it to the merchants. One lady
who wanted a small purchase Tor
dinner, was told at 1870 that deliv-
cry could not be made before after
noon, and she threatened to move her
account to another grocer, while an
other housewife who ordered a juicy
roast about II o'clock, drove in her car
to the establishment from which she
first ordered, and carried the meat
home herself, after first trying every
other dealer in Americus and falling
to secure promise of delivery before
afternoon.
So the situation stands. The ladies
all say it is an outrage" to deprive
them of the sweet privilege of putting
off their household duties until the
last minute, while the merchants are
thus far-standing firm and refus-
ing to deliver purchases. except in ac-
cordance with their published sched-
ule Which side will be the first 0
give in is question time only can
deci7e. Meanwhile the growing
tension between fair customers and
erstwhile clever dealers is being OBJ
served with interest by sour bachelors
who board and thus are not worried
with petty incidents of housekeeping.

COLUMBUS ALIENS
DECLARED GUILTY
OF IRREGULARITIES

COLUMBUS, Ca, Jan. 2S.-Chief of
Police Tom More stated this morning
that in making preliminary arrange
ments for classifying the alien ene-
mics of this city he found that sew
eral unnaturalized aliens have been
continuously participating in elections
here, which is}contrary to the election
laws of the country. In one instance
he found where a foreigner who has
never been made citizen of the Unit
ed States is holding public office,
which also is violation of the law.
The chief is making further investi-
cations to ascertain whether or not
these alleged violators received their
naturalization papers in other cities.
So far as local records show, the allie
cations are correct.
1t is the intention of the chief to OBJ
tain all possible information regard
ing local alien enemies before the
date of the registration, which is Feb
luary 4. Such information as he finds
will be used in classifying the foreign
ers and disloyal Americans, besides
being submitted to the city authori-
ties for local action.
Just what action will be taken in
regard to the holding of office by a
foreign subject is not known. 1t is
known, however, that the matter has
been brought to the attention of the
local authorities and left with them
for such disposition as they may see
fit to make of it.
