Here are some of the principal requirements
of the State Automobile Law which are most
often violated:
No person under sixteen years of age shall op
erate a motor vehicle of motorcycle on any pub
lic street or highway. This applies to owners
also.
No person shall operate an auto vehicle while
under the influence of intoxicating ilquors or
drugs.
No motor vehicle or motorcycle shall be oper
ated on the public street or highway at a greater
speed than 30 miles an hour. Even when this
speed is not reasonable and safe, it shall be re
duced so as not to endanger life, limb or prop
erty.
Approaching bridges, crossings, sharp curves,
dugways, or a steep descent motor vehicles
must be slowed down to not over 10 miles an
hour and must at all times be under perfect con
trol of the driver.
Drivers must slow down when approaching
or passing any person, walking on a street or
highway, or any horse or other draft animal be
ing led, or driven thereon; or upon any bridge or
crossing’at an intersection of public streets or
highways, the operator of a motor vehicle or
motorcycle shall have the same under imme
diate control.
There are many other sections of this law,
which is a portion of the Acts of 1916 and can
be found at the office of any attorney, Justice
of the Peace or county officer. We have only
quoted the sections most frequently and flag
rantly violated, but would recommend every
owner or driver of a motor vehicle of motorcy
cle to read the law and save trouble for himself
or herself, and others.
These laws are violated every day, many times
over, in Tifton and Tift county and probably ev
ery other county and community in the state,
It is their violation that leads to accident and
jften causes loss of life. In many cases inno
cent parties are the victims of the heedlessness
or recklessness of speed fiends. To enforce
the law and prosecute reckless drivers is not
only a protection to the public against them, but
it is a protection to them against themselves.
Tifton should have a traffic officer provided
with a .motorcycle and in plain clothes, who
should have nothing to do for a few weeks but to
apprehend and prosecute violators of the traffic
laws. And we do not want such an officer for
the sole purpose of apprehending the occasion
al joyrider who comes in from the country and
who at the worst i3 only an occasional visitor.
We have well known and constant offenders
right here in town who should be made the first
and most conspicious examples.
We understand that Fitzgerald has such a
traffic officer and that the first month he was at
work the fines in speed cases not only paid the
officer’s salary but left a handsome sum in the
city treasury Tifton should try the experiment.
In the cases enumerated above we mention on
ly the state laws. The city ha3 very stringent
traffic laws which, like those of the state, have
only to be enforced to protect lives and property.
It is the protection of the innocent that we are
anxious for; the guilty will sooner or later pun
ish themselves. The only trouble is that before
they do this, they are liable to injure others.
The state automobile law requires the Secre
tary of State to call the attention of the sheriffs
in the several counties to the provisions of the
law at least once in each month and the sher
iffs are required to make investigations as to
violations of the law and swear out warrants
against and prosecute all owners or other guilty
parties.

"THIS POOR MAN'S MKIJICINK"
The Correspondent's attention Hat
been called to an editorial which appear
ed, under the above title, in the Atlanta
Constitution of recent date, and a request
was made for its reproduction in the
Gaaette. It was forwarded to the editor,
who, of course, will exercise his own
judgment in the matter. The article in
question is a protest against a proposed
law which would compel manufacturers
to print a complete formula of their
medicine on the label of the bottle con
taining it.
Now, to the average lay mind this does
not seem so dreadful, if the medicines are
all they claim to be: it does seem that
people have a right to know what they
are taking, and nobody is likely to
the formula to their own advantage,
could be learned by analysis, if another
manufacturer really cared to know, and
besides the patent would still be pro
tected by law. Oleomargarine is a harm
less product (which is more than can be
Mid of many patent medicines), but it
should not be labeled butter. Acquaint
ing people with the ingredients of which
it is composed lessens its sales, of course,
but there is no reason why they should
not eat it, if they care to. There is con
siderable truth in the Constitution’s
editorial. Some of the patent medicines
are excellent; they have been pronouned
so by more than one generation. Not
not only are they efficacious, but they
are cheap, and especially are they val
uable in that they are (or can be) al
ways on hand—no waiting to send for a
doctor in urgent cases, and having the!
Hardly a day passes pgtjent die before he can get there. And
no paying for a visit and prescription in
simple cnsoB. But why should s medi
cine lose its virtue by having its formula
known and why should a patient de
cline to take it if he knew of what it
is compounded? The probability is that
he would not know their names.
The Constitution puts down the user*
of patent medicines as 75 per cent
of all who use medicines. Not
many as that, but more than enough.

The protracted meeting at Zion Hill

The melon crop was short and the
melon* not large, but there was good
money in it, and shippers are not com
plaining. There are stories of big profits
made by local speculators—for instance,
this one; Mr. Russel Patrick, of this
county, gave $1,000 for • ten-acre field of
watermelons. At last accounts, had
•old $2,200 worth of melons from that
field, and was still selling at $400 a car.
Fuel was scarce and high in Ty Ty
last winter—even wood being hard tc
get, and coal literally "out of sight" most
of the time. A shortage of coal has al
ready been reported for next winter by
the coal markets (why there should be a
shortage, nobody seems to know), and
those of Ty Ty households that use coal
are showing their wisdom by laying in a
supply now, ordering by the carload.
THE POUR MAN'S MEDICINE
From the Atlanta Constitution.
It would be unfortunate were any legis
lation enacted in Georgia which would
make it more difficult or more expensive
for persons in straitened or moderate
circumstances to secure the fcedicine*
or household drugs of which they are of
ten in great and sometimes, pressing
need.
It has been noised about that
serious attempt will be made at the
present session of the legislature to re
quire manufacturers of patent and pro
prietary medicines to print the complete
formula on the label, in default of which
a person desiring to purchase such i
medicine will have to secure a physidan’i
prescription tor the particular article he
desires.
The injustice of such a method of deal
ing with this problem is apparent on the
face of it. There is a vast difference
between the process of separating the
sheep from the goats, and adopting i
method whereby the sheep may be drown
ed first and the goats, perhaps, permitted
to escape.
Possibly 75 per cent of the people de
pend more or less upon patent and
proprietary medicines, some of which
their fathers and mothers, and even
their grandfathers, have used before them
They have accomplished much good.
The manufacturer possesses and own*
a certain property and proprietary right
in his' formula. If his proposition is a
fake he should be obliterated: if it hm
merit—and in a vast number of instances
there is merit in them—he is entitled to
the same protection of property as is the
owner of real estate or a bank account.
The druggists over the state—and
there are hundreds of them—sell these
medicines to consumers who buy them
because they believe they are good, and
who feel they arc benefited by thm.
