> s RAVORABLE COMMENT ON COL MELL'S
««« i AUTO JAILING SUGGESTION
' When Col. Tom Ivlell recently advocated in an ad-
S befoic the Kiwanis Clul> the jailing of auto-
es, instead of fining the owners, for infraction
of traffic regulations, he started something that
echoed throughout the state, and has been favor
ably-commented upon by a number of newspapers.
Col.'Mell’s unique plan was the subject recently
of-approving comment by the Savannah Morning
Newa, whose reference to the matter called forth
timely reference by the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
The iatter, using the information which the Morn
ing-Nows published conetrning the jailing of auto
mobiles, has the following to say:
'"Now comes the Savannah News with the sugges-
tiojl from ''an'experienced lawyer’ of a remedy for
curbing the reckless driving of automobiles. But
■we’H let the News tell the story. Here it is:
.*** ‘Discussing the necessity of doing something
to curb the reckless use of the deadly automo-
*bifc, for devising effective ways and means of
^’eliminating as mych speeding as possible, an
Experienced lawyer in a Georgia city has sug
gested that the automobiles themselves, in
stead of their owners or drivers, be jailed upon
conviction. -He points out that the lawful tak-
. tag up of the unruly or disorderly machine anc.
locking it ud awav from the owner for thirty
or sixty or ninety days, according to A h ?
of violation of tne traffic ru|es, wo . uld b ®
of a salutary or resultful,punishment than a fine
Ot a brief imprisonment of the person. He points
out that in his town some years ago, the bicycle,
ntiinly used by the small boys, became a posi
tive menace to the pedestrian*, both old and
young, and a danger tb the boys themselves.
Arrests and fines were not satisfactory in con-
tr tilling the growing evil, but the recorder I hit
upon the plan of taking up the bicycle instead of
the boy, and locking the wheel up for a period.
- 'the calaboose was at one time 'literally full of
, wheels of all descriptions. But the evil was
effectually stopped. The boys were punished
more by the deprivation than they would have
■ been for dad to pay a fine of a few dollars for
2 rthem. The lawyer believe* that very much the
' . .'same system could be employed with much the
.same effect upon the larger children who do not
'khow how, or do not remember, to use their
V- automobiles safely.’
■ "After all this might he a pretty good remedy
for the evil against which complaint is made. It is
■ certain that as long as the automobile Is ‘in jail* the
owner of it would not drive it recklessly. And that
S fhe object in view.
■"Jake a fellow’s automobile away from him and
. -he would be in a position where he would not break
the .’speed limit He’d have to walk as other pedes-.
triads have to do. ,
''And if fines and imprisonment will not have the
desired effect in curbing these reckless drivers
some other means should be employed that will be
effective. And certainly taking a fellow’s car
away from him would stop him.
"Besides, after a fellow has been given a chance
to comply with the traffic regulations and won’t
do it, something ought to be done that will stop
his wild driving. A man who has no regard for the
speed laws ought not to he permitted to drive a car
anyway. He’s a menace to the community.

Every Sunday aftScmoon re
ligious services .re held in
the Clarke county jail for the
benefit of the prisoners. Those
who pass -he court house late in
the afternoon on Sundays arc at
tracted by'the singing; and instru
mental music. Shortly after these
services last Sunday and; just at
twilight, a voice could be heard
pealing forth from the itop story,
not a cultivated voice, but one
carrying an expression of senti
ment, indicating a stricken con-
deioutness of the wrong-doings
for which he was incarcerated. It
was filled with much emotion and
as it was wafted into the office
of the Banner-HcraUi, carrying
.that good old song, “Rock of
Ages, cleft for Me,’’ it brought
to mind and an account published
in Public Opinion of a young wo
man in London, while on her'
death bed, and just before the
great Reaper had made his last
call, this song was faintly sung
nnd whispered by her:
“Rock of Ages, clcf.l for me.’’
Like a rjver in its flow;
Sung as only they can sing
Who life’s thorny paths have
pressed;
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest—
“Roc.; of Ages, cleft for me,
Let ine Jiide myself in Thee.”

Sung above a coffin lid;
Underneath all restfully,
All life’s.joys and sorrow hid.
Never more a storm-tossed soul,
Ncter more from wind and tide,
Ne'er more from billows roll
Wilt thou ever need to hide.
Could the sightless sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft white hair,
Could the mute and stifened lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Slid, aye still, the words would be
“Let me hide myself in Thee.”
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung:
Fell the words unconsciously
From the girlish, guileless tongue;
Sung as lit t.e children sing;
Sung as sing the birds in June;
Fell the words as light leaves down
On the current of the tune—
“Rock of Ages, cleft for ine,”
Let me hide myself in Thee ".

‘ fflemres on . what the automobile industry is doing
Are
at the present time Arp amazing. They reflect an
opinion that indicates boom times for the entire
country-
'‘'‘production of pleurure cars in the Detroit district
af present is running from 10,000 to 11,000 daily and
further increases are scheduled. The Detroit dis
trict is credited with about 85 per cent of the motor
car-iplant capacity of the country. .This means that
Automobile output of cars today is at the rate of
considerably more than 3,000,000 cars. The highest
record of production for a full year to the credit of
the ^industry was approximately 2,570,000 cars ta
1922,
. Whether the present rate of activity in the in
dustry can' be maintained is an open question but
th'e American automobile business has been in the
hahjt lately of surprising its most sanguine enthusi-
and it may continue to do so. When it i* con-
l sidered, however, that the country today possesses
I one automobile to every 9 persons, it would require
r some exceptional optimism to put faith in a sustained
market of the present scale.
