To the Honorable Grand Jury, April
Term, 1926, Ben Hill County Su-
perior Court:
We, your committee appointed to
examine the books of the county of
ficers, beg to submit our report. We
have examined the books of the va
rious county officers and find them
in excellent shape and all records
easily accessible and we'll prepared,
and we wish to commend them for
their efficient work and interest in
the business of the county.
We find a smaller number of de-
linquent taxes on the books than
usual for this time of year for per-
sonal and occupation taxes for the
year 1925, but we recommend that
diligent efforts be made by this hon.
orable body to see that all these
taxes are paid and collected, as
everyone should be required to bear
his portion of the county taxes as
the law requires.
Respectfully submitted,

Motor Club Manager Points
Out Danger in Prac-
tiCe.

Outdriving traffic regulations, a
new menace in motoring, is an in
creasing cause of automobile acci-
dents, according to Todd Stops,
lIoosier Motor Club manager.
by outdr1ving traffic regulations
ia meant the habit of driving a car
on the assumption that what isn't
seen, or what hasn't happened, viii
be entirely favorable" Stoops said.
'grhe, new hazard is in a class

and headlights. In the case Of head
lights, the habit is to assume that

Illuminated there will be no imme-
date danger just beyond
Too Much, Assumed
'"The newest evil in driving is the
practice of outdriving the traffic
regulations and directions. Observa-
zion made at principal points about
the city show there is a pronounced
tendency to take too much Tor
granted. II the automobile driver
sees the stop-go signal turned in his
favor. he assumes no pedestrian VIII
get into his way. In other words
he proceeds to drive faster than the
possibilities warrant.
Remember Other Cars
"yurt because traffic officer waves
70 a motorist to come on Is no reason
why tho speed Of the car should be
too fast for quick and safe stop
should any other vehicles disregard
the officers directions and come
tearing out of g. side street. Many
local drivers have been observed to
handle their cars at intersections
Just as though what the traffic Of
flcer ordered would be obeyed by
everybody and as though nothing in
the way Of hazard could Turk just
outside the immediate sphere Of the
traffic direction.
The situation is identically the
same as driving in such a way as
To 1,0uire the brakes to work per
