Grady County
Have
To Much Reckless. Driving.
We are sure that there is no intention on the-part of a great many
of those that drive cars at a greater ipeed than is the lawful limit to da
reckless driving. They no doubt feel so sure of the control i under
which they lmve their machine that they believe there is no element of
recklessness connected with f tlie fust driving. But it is the' unexpected
that happens. The time is sure to come right here hr Cairo, that if flic
present habit of fast, driving is kept up, thut fome combination of con
ditions will aris • in which a'car being too lastly jdj'iven is going to
cause a serious accident. \\’e have laws against this practice and the
only safe way so far as public life and property is concerned is to set'
that everybody observes these laws. This is not, asking too much of
any one and it is far better to insist now that this be done than to wail
until some trudegy has shocked tl^' community into a state where this
demand will be made with insistence.
DRIVE WITH REASONABLENESS AT ALL TIMES, AND
DRIVE SLOW ON CROWED STREETS.
.It seems assured now that Fort Worth will become a “million a
year” hug market this year. If the receipts for October* November and
December are up to the September record the total for the year will be
JS0.000 head, and as it is expected that November and December will
lie well above that record it seems eertain that the million mark will be
reached.
But whether the million mark is reached or not the record of
growth for the year so far is most gratifying. Every branch of the
livestock industry shows a substantial increase; and this may be expec
ted to continue from year to year. The average citizen of Fort Worth
has no idea of the extent to which the livestock industry may be reason
ably expected to grow in Fori Worth. The territory from which this
.tuck is received has just begun to develop, and as former .Senator
Bailey lias pointed out strikingly, the breaking up of the big
ranchos into stock farms wili increase rather than decrease the amount
of livestock raised. Hogs are being shipped into Fort Worth by the
e-iudoad from, counties t&q&^lii}. not have a.hog .wjtljin ( theiwbor.ders,i'o.ur
ycursjigo,, and witii* the yxcTOisjug, acre,age of „ka(gr cprn, mjjo incize,
fetcrita and similar grains,nil of which have been found to betas "good as
or. bailee,than Indian corn' for hogs, this industry will' grow fo gri&tbf
proportions'. All ( lie other branches of the livdstb -lc Industry may be
expected to develop With the country.
All o; this serves to illustrate anew the intimate ielation of the
prosperity of West Texas with the prosperity of Fort Worth. . West
Texas has just begun to grow, and byjthe’samc token-Fort 'Worth has
just begun to grow. Therefore, every real Fort'Worth booster will be
also a booster for West Texas Paper. '
The above clipping ,form the,Fort Worth Star-Telegram was han
ded to us by Mr. W. R. Hawthorn. It is a very newsy item and at
the same time it ought to lip easy for South Georgians to get some
helpful suggestions from it.. The packing plant and stock yards were
opened up at Fort Worth when tiio conditions for their support in the
Way of patronage were much-less favorable than is the outlook for the
plants now built and being,built in Georgia. We do not know just
how soon Georgia will be able to report a'million a year packing house,
but at the rate that hog production is.increasing we have an idea that
it will not lie long. ...
One of the most important points in the above clipping is the cm-
'-•i -sis that, they place on-the relation existing between the producing
; ions and the marketing centers. This point should never lie lost
cght of iii the development oT any section. What is to the benefit of
: portion of our pe iple, if it is in a' legitimate way is bound to be to
the advantage of all.
The clipping above calls attention to some feed crops that
likely should receive more attention at the hands of oar South G jjr-Ua
farmers. Those'who have tried Kaffir corn and Milo, Maize report
that they get larger yields than from corn, and they are certainly well
adapted for feeding almost.any kind of stock.
West Texas and Fort Worth are great places no doubt, but tliev
ere great because they have taken advantage of .every miam a \>und

At the risk of becoming tiresome wc want to insist that Grady ’county
should have a regularly organized county fair. Asa. stimulant, to the
development of a section there i? nothing better than a fair. This
f jet has been demonstrated too many times to leave any room for
question.
We believe that conditions.in this county are ripe at this tini"> for
the organization af an association that will insure to Grady county the
