LESSENING MOTOR ACCIDENTS Statistics show that 14.000 deaths were caused in the United States in 1922 h.v automobile accidents, •in increase of 1,600 over 1921.

Of courso this is not true in every instance. Some people tmly have to bc to About traffic regulations to abide by them. Others break them every time they think they can do it and gS away With it This is the reason there's always an argument whenever the speed offtecra make case; one class kicks because it is claimed.^breach ance or some other unwilful cause led to the breacn of the regulations while the other class kicks because Ttmt^about the long and short of it but to lessen the danger of accidents in Greater New Yo ck, and thereby cut down, if possible, the number of fatal- itics resulting therefrom, Commissioner Collier has promulgated the following set of rules ^ motorists.

Keep brakes properly adjusted and equalized. When preparing to turn or stop, never stop suddenly, and always give a signitl. Look behind before backing car. In passing a vehicle going the sanie direction turn out at least 76 feet in back of it. so that there rally be a clear view of the right side. Do not try to pass if another vehicle is coming from the opposite direction. Do not try to pass another auto going in tne same direction while turning a crossing. Never drive fast with a worn or soft tire. Be careful with lights, not blinding drivers of oh-coming vehicles, and never failing to keep the toil light exposed as a warning to other drivers. . , , .... Always drive slow enough in passing children, vehicles and horses, so that a atop can be quickly made if necessary.’’ RETAIN THE FOUR YEAR TERM It is announced that at the approaching session of the legislature there will be introduced a measure repealing the present act which provides for a four- year term for all county officers. Such legislation would be a great misfortune and no good could arise from such a change. The old system has been tried and found wanting and since the new law whs S assed giving to county officers four year terms, ie public has been satisfied with it.' The fewer elec tions in the State and counties, the better. A man who hu. made a good officer should be retained, just as a man who has made a good ciork or office man. No firm or corporation would bo willing to displace a faithful and capable employeo siqapiy because he had held the positioff for a two or four year term. If an officer docs not do his duty he can bp dis- placed by a vote of the people at the end of his term and if he commits a violation of the law and unfits himself for the office to which the people elected him, it is only a matter of procedure to have him im peached and put out of office. But for the good 'of the State and counties, let us keep the present sys tem of four-year terms and those who are dissatis fied with it can have the opportunity of changing the officers who are objectionable to them-at the ballot box.

The laying aside of factional feelings and differences has ad vanced this city many years and it is to be hoped that Athens will never again be in the throes of factional politics. Let us all work to one end, and let that end be for the betterment of Athens and its people. The authorities of the State College of _ Agricul ture are to be congratulated on the splendid exhibi tion given at that institution on Saturday evening of last week. It was announced as the “Little Interna tional Live Stock Show," but it was more than that; it was a “Big” show and one which pleased everyone present and reflected much credit on those who were responsible for its sponsoring. Grace Hudson, waitress who served President Harding many meals during his vacation in the south, describes him as a “light eater”—only a howl of half-and-half for lunch, and for dinner a light meal with never any desert. Harding take life easily and isn’t digging his grave with his teeth. This, and his sensible relaxation in a good outdoor exercise (golf), keeps him healthy though his job is of a high er nervous tension than any other American’s. His is a svstem that would keep most of us fit^nd peppy. We eat «<><> much, too fast, and don’t get enough ex ercise.

There is^not a ebunty in this section making better pro gress than Oconee. This is owing to the fact that Oconee i» one of the best farming sections of Geor gia and it is settled by a very fine class of white, citizens. Its lands have been cut up into small farms and they are being worked like gardens. Farmers are not only taking the stumps but picking up. rocks from their fields. MR. JOHN BACON says that one drawback to Oglethorpe is that it has too Jargo farms and many of them arc owned by men who do not live upon them. From Lexing ton to Centerville in Wilkes coun ty, cnly three men own the land they live on. But the time has come when these large planta tions must be carved into small farms. Few land owners made more than taxes of late years from their farms who did not livo on them. There is much truth and logic in what Mr. Bacon afays. 15 CAUGHT IN 8PEED TRAP HASTINGS—A speed trap ar ranged here today, caused fifteen automnbilists, mostly from New York City, to be served with sum monses on a charge of exceeding the speed limit of fifteen miles an hour, Imposed by a vllnge ordl- nace.
