THE RIGHT TO DRIVE

The 17-year-old boy driver who caused the death
of pedestrian in Kansas City few days ago is held
on charge of mansaughter. His youthful companions
testified that they urged him to stop after the auto

They report that he replied: I'm sorry, folks
but I've already got $4,000 damage suit against
me- can't stop And again, to another plea, i've
had another accident and I've got to go on
Apparently the only lesson that young boy had learn
ed from his first accident that he better dodge
captre when committing other offenses against traf
fic regulations and human decency. The other acc-
dent involving the damage suit to which he referred
occurred a whole year ago. In the meantime, friends
saw he has continued driving and has always been
rather keen on speed and recklessness.
All the sound traffic rules in the world wouidn
have met this situation Prompt punishment tor ms
first offense however and denial to him of the right
to drive another car, might have helped some. Ger
tany boys with his attitude toward the matter have
no right to drive automobiles.

WASTED PEACHES

An efficient nation should be ashamed of such
news as that recently sent out from the peach region
in Georgia-and from other sections of the country
at other times Recent dispatches have announced
that within a period of 10 days peach growers IN
Georgia have thrown away approximately 4,oooooo
bushels of peaches, 5000 cars.
The reason for such wholesale waste is that the
entire crop ripened at this year and gutted
the market to such an extent that growers could not
get even shipping prices for them.
In Macon on July 21 peaches sold for eight cents
not enough to pay for the baskets crates IN
which they are packed, and leaving no allowance Tor
picking packing and hauling.
And all the while there are millions of people who
need the fresh fruit and who get it. or who need
the canned fruit in the winter and cannot afford 10
buy it. .;,o

blamed particularly or the shippers, or consumers.
ALL however, have degree OF responsibility anu, uil
81 they realize if and cooperate in solving such prob
lens all will have to suffer directly or indirectly from

Thirty-Year Age Limit
Barred Smith in Fight
For Alapaha Judgeship

A provision in the constitution Of
Georgia that requires judges of the
superior court to be thirty years Of
age disqualified Seward M. Smith,
special attorney for the state high
way department, from either ap-
pointment or election to the Judge
ship in the Alapaha circuit, it be-
came known at the state capitol
Wednesday.
Friends OF Mr.. Smith had been
active in his behalf and. it had been
reported that Governor Walker Prob
ably would appoint him as the sue
cessor of the late Judge r. G. Dick
erson, of bonneville. However. it
developed that Mr.. Smith is not old
enough to hold the office of superior
court judge, as he was not born until
January 10, 1896. Mr.. Smith com
municated this fact to the governor
when he found that he was disqual-
lfled, and withdrew an application
to nave his name placed on the bal
lot for the special election held in
the Alapaha circuit last week.
Inc constitution provides that no
person shall be a judge Of the SUI
preme or the superior court, or at
torney general, unless at the time
or his election he shall have attained
the age of thirty years; shall have
oeen a citizen of the state for three
years. and shall have practiced law
Tor seven years.
