We notice that the city council of our thriving little town of McDonough has passed an automobile ordinance, governing the speed ol automobiles, and we think this is a move in the right direction. The. town has several good ordinances that are being rigidly enforced, one of which is the dog ordinance, Several months ago, an ordinance was passed by the council, to have all dogs in the city limits muzzled for the safety and protection of the general public and it has worked very successfully, having been rigidly enforced by the proper at tention. The new automobile ordinance, if enforced as rigidly as the dog ordinance, will insure perfect safety to those who remain at home, and do not travel. “Citizen.” NOTICE.

Scene 1, —A half dozen negroes or less assemble in a quit place in the woods some Saturday night or Sunday, and engage in some quiet game of their choice, the stakes being a nickel or u dime eaoh. The horrid officers arrive, place them under arrest, the grand jury re turns a true bill, and the ocurt us ually imposes a sentence of six months or a SSO fine. Scene 2.—White hoys and nogro boys gambling on the streets of Fairburn from early morn till close of day, with marbles, the stakes being marbles-value about one half or a cent each, and the officers pass by on the other side, or stand and look on and wink at it. School boys en route to and from school stop and engage in this gambling game. White boys and negreos gambling side by side and some day these same white boys may be oalled on to serve on juries to conviot these same negro boys of-gambling: One white boy boasted to the writer that he had won over 100 marbles that after noon-small things tis true, but would not the principle have been the same had he won a hundred, a thousand, or a million dollars?

The census begins to-day, April 15, and must, be completed in two weeks in cities and in thirty days in all other areas. The enumerators will wear a badge inscribed “United States Census, 1910.” The law requires every adult person to furnish the prescribed information, but also provides thut.it shall be treated confidenti ally, so that no injury can come to any person from answering the questions. The President has issued a pio clamation, calling on all citizens to cooperate with the Census and assuring them that, it has nothing to do wi th taxation, army, or jury service, compulsory school attend ance, regulation of immigration, or enforoement of any law, and that no one can be injured by the inquiries. It is of the utmost importance that the census of population and agriculture in this state bo com plete and correct. Therefore every person should promptly, accurately, and com pletely answer the the Census questions asked by by the enum erators. Officers Elected.
