MOtOrist Are Warned
Against Violations of
Traffic Regu lations

The city board of aldermen at their
regular July meeting held Tuesday
afternoon, instructed Marshal J. Lon
McRae to warn all motorist of the viola
tions of the traffic rules and regulations
and on and after Monday July II, 1882,
to enforce the laws relative to this phase
of the matter, to insure safety for the
public at large.
Among the matters to which attention
was directed was the speeding of motor
lists and the reckless driving noted in
several instances, that will come in for
close observance by the local official.
Complaints have been made of speeding
in the residential sections of town as
we'll as fast driving on the publis square
and this must be stopped, stated the
marshal
Also the observance of the stop signs
must be practiced, stated the official,
motorist being required to come to a
full stop wherever these signs are To-
Gated. Attention is also called to the
fact slow signs and safety precautions
have been made in other parts of the
city, and observance of these are also
asked.
The matter of having two good head
lights at night, will also be strictly en-
forced, and the car owners who have
been driving with one light and known
as the "one-eyed" cars, are going to be
closely watched and this practice will
not be allowed after dark in any part
of the city. 1t is considsne4 one of the
greatest hazards of the highways in all
communities, and the local officer lays
stress upon the violation that must be
remedid.
The matter of parking is also going
to come in for it's share of attention and
such practices as parking in the middle
of the street to attend to shopping, and
other matters, blocks traffic, creates
blind traffic lane and endangers other

ing motors to cause loud noises and

High Court Orders
Election Districts
Decision Tuesday

Mississippi's redistricting act was
technically upheld Tuesday when the
state supreme court, four to two, ruled
not to interfere with the election of
congressman by districts as set out in
the Blair-White re-districting law, ac-
cording to press dispatches from the
capital city.
Both the chancery court in unction to
tie up the election machinery and the
circuit court mandamus to prevent the
secretary of state from placing district
candidates on the general election bal
lot, were reversed and the cases dis
missed, it was stated.
The high court did not rule on the
consttutionality of the Blair White act
but merly held that the lower courts did
not have jurisdiction to interfere with
the general election.
Constitutionality of the measure was
attacked by group of Pike county cit
izens in chancery court there, contending
that by combining the old seventh and
eight districts, the Legislature had not
properly redistricted the state, since un-
der the Blair-White act, az percent of
the states population is in the new
seventh and delta districts Chancellor
". w. SuIIer Helu the dCC VOlQ ana lSSu-
ed an injunction to prevent the secretary
of state from certifying candidates NOM
mated by districts. Later similar ac-
ton was started in Kinds county circuit
court where Judge Wiley H. Potter held
the act unconstitutional and mandamu-
sed Secretary Wood to receive names of
candidates from the state t-large.
Decision of the high court was expec-
ted to end the redstricting fights and
assure election of the states seven cong
ressmen this fall from the districts set
out in the Blair-W White act 1t was also
have filed for congressional seats from
the state-at-large, including former Gov
ernor Bilbo, will withdraw.
The high court stated that they were
without authority to interfere. They
were quoted as saying that the supreme
court deals alone with the civil and prop
erty rights and not with political rights.
Judges Griffith, Ethridge, McGowen and
Anderson, signed the en- banc decision
holding the courts were without author
ity to interfere. Chief Justice Sydney
Smith and Judge w. H. Cook dissented
That Congress may redistrict the act
was pointed out and is said that the ma
tional body may alter or take away the
power if found abused in any redistric-
ting plan. The election under the ruling
will be held by districts, as continued
in the new act, it is stated
