WATCHFUL WAITING

Of safety is to be expecting some

followed the chance for accident
becomes remote.-Albany Herald.

LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS

The law should be enforced
All laws should be enforced
whether popular or unpopular,
but the bandit-like manner of law
enforcement is not humane nor IS
it legal Sunday an Atlanta man
and his wife were quietly driving
along the highway when they
were stopped at the point of Il
pistol and commanded to hold up
their hands and get out of the
automobile in which they were
riding. The couple demonstrated
with the men but to no avail.
When they had been forced to
leave their machine, the men COM
menced a search of the car stat
ing that they suspected they
would find whiskey and that they
were officers of the law. The
wife of the occupant of the car
made some remark to the man de-
nouncing the manner in which he
had gone about searching the car.
when she was told that he was the
sheriff of Douglas county, and
with an oath slapped her face,
Such bandit-like procedure on
the part of officers Should subject
them to criminal prosecution and
to punishment of the severest
type under the law.

which many of the state and fed
eral officers proceed in attemp-
ting to block al ID run down peo-

LAND

Suppose Henry Ford or some 9th

pensive and safe airplanes, enabling
people to live far out in the country,
flying back and forth to work in
town.
Transportation is the chief Oh
stacle to such a system.
If the airplane overcomes this OBJ
stacle, therell be a revolution in
land values, city properties drop
ping, country sites increasing. If
you're buying land to make yom
descendants rich, the city may not
be the best bet.
