Don’t forget the fair this fall
Begin now to prepare tor ex-
hibits.
“Teddy” makes it plain that
he is sticking to the G. O. P.
Now that the election is over,
let us all pull together again,
tor the progress and upbuilding
of our city,
How about this, bachelors
and widowers? “The man that
hath a tongue, I say is no man,
If with that tongue, he cannot
win a woman.”
The political pot is simmering
but the weather is yet too cool
for it to begin boiling.
A man in Atlanta drank gas-
oline by mistake. Now, instead
of coughing, he honks.—Griffin
Herald.
There is many a stump speak?
er who would much better be at
home pulling the stumps from
hiaiown cleariog.—Exchange.
Another serious charge has
been made against Governor
Brown, and it can be proven too.
He is charged with writing
poetry.—Darien Gazette.
A story is going the rounds
that (when (the figure tor the
monument was unpacked on the
square the other day a collector
for a grocery firm in this city,
thinking that it was one of his
customers, rushed up and pre
sented a bill to the figure betore
he realized that it was not a real
live man.
Need of Uniform Aulo Laws.
Elsewhere, The Constitution
publishes a communication trom
Joseph D. Boyd, repieser.tative
in the general assembly for Spall
ding county.
His bill, prescribing uniform
numbering and uniform regula
tions for automobiles throughout
Georgia, is the first one on the
calender for the lorthcomiug
session.
Mr. Boyd’s measure, or one
similar, should be enacted into
law.
As he states, confusion arising
from conflicting numbers for cars
touring the state, is dangerous,
expensive and subversive ot en
forcement oi penalties for speed
ing or in detecting automobilists
who have ridden down passngers
or other vehicles and passed on
without stopping.
Ten years ago, there was lit
tie need for such strict legal uni
formity. Five years ago neces
sity had increased but interest
hadV'uot crystalized.
Today the need for such regu
lation is state wide and daily in
creasing.
So marvelous has been the
growth of the automobile in
every day usage that it is a com.
monplace upon Georgia roads
and in Georgia cities.
The overWhelmiDg majority ot
owners and drivers of cars are
law ^abiding,
They deserve, and should de
mand, protection from the small
element of reckless drivers who
endanger life and bring disrepute
upon the entire fraternity.
Pedestrians, drivers of other
vehicles—the public generally—
deserve and should demand such
laws and regulations as will pro-
tect them from the irresponsible
class,
Georgia has been one of the
last states to place such modern
safeguards upon her statute books
The neglect should be remed
ied this summer.—Atlanta Con
stitution.
The Free Press heartily in’
dorses the bill above referred to,
and commends it to the attention
of our represenatives, who, we
are aure, will urge its passage.
Every good citizen should be
a politician in the good sense of
that word, and that was good
advice given by one of our fore
most statesmen (to ] young (men,
to study carefully the (affairs of
the nation, that they might vote
and act intelligently. Nothing is
worse and more cowardly than
to turn affairs ot state entirely
over to the vicious and criminal.
It, is a sacred duty encumbeut
upon every citizen to register
aod vote, and so put good and
wise men in office. In thiscoun-
try the people are soverign, and
if our affairs are inefficiently
and dishonestly administered
the people are to blame. Fre.
quency of elections is no excuse
lor staying away faom the polls,
and he who shirks his duty here
is untrue to himself, his family,
and his country. “When the
righteous are in authority, the
people rejoice ; (but fwhtn the
wicked beareth rule, the people
mourn.” In municipal, county,
state and national elections
every good citizen should vote.
Don’t shirk.

Mr. W. L. Adamson Dead.
Mr. W. L . Adamson one ot
Carroll’s old and respected citir
zens departed this life on Satur
day, April 30th 1910, at his
home in Bowdon, Ga.
He was born in Henry County
Ga. June 10th, 1828 and hence
at the time of his death was near
ly 82 years of age.
For 64 years he was a profess
ed follower of the Lord Jesus
Christ, having united with the
Methodist Protestant church
when he was 18 years of age;
for more threescore years giving
his influence to that which is
noblest and best in this world to
come.
For many years, Mr Adamson
has been an honored citizen of
Carroll County, living an upright
and useful life, doing much for
the good of his country and the
uplilt and the general welfare ot
his fellow men.
A loyal hu band, wise father,
devoted brother, good neighbor,
patriotic citizen, true fiiend, and
life long Christian, his years have
not been speut in vain.
As the infirmities of age gath
ered upon him, he grew in grace
and though the outward man
gradually waned .in strength,
yet the inner man was renewed
day by day. For a long while
before his death, whether at
home or abroad, io sickness or
in health, morning and evening,
each day in prayer he committed
himself to the guiding care ot
the heavenly Father and withi
out fear, at last he fell asleep.
"Godgiveth hii blessed sleep.
Amen! so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
’Tis immortality.”
A large concourse of relatives
and friends attended his fuoeral,
which was conducted on Sunday
following his death, from the M
P Church in Bowdon of which
he was so long a faithful mem<
ber.
He leaves a wife and two
children, Mrs T A C Smith, 61
this place and Mr Ed Adamson,
of Rome and a host of relatives
and friends to mourn his depar
ture trom our midst. WED
