Beware.
Automobile drivers had better
watch their speedometers in the fu-
ture or they may come in contact with
a record provided by a stop watch
with which one of the officials has
been supplied. This watch and a
measurement of the distance covered'
during the time a record is kept, will !
afford damaging evidence and may be
the means of convicting joy riders
who persist in exceeding the speed 1
limit. The officer referred to is carry-
ing the watch in a handy place and
expects to put it Into use every time
his attention is attracted by fast driv-
ing within the city limits.
. There has been considerable com-
plaint about fast driving in the city
and an effort is to be made to put a
stop to the practice, which is not only
dangerous to the occupants of the car,
but to pedestrians as well. Those
who persist in the offense need not

answer to the court, or be astonish-
ed if evidence is forthcoming as to
the rate of speed at which the ma-
chine was going, for there is going to

county for the purpose of promoting
an Interest in the improved methods
of farming as laid down by the agri-
I cultural department of the govern

Archer county commissioners made
an appropriation of $400, which
amount will be duplicated by the fed-

Mr Campbell stated that he would

IT WAS DISCHARGED
A young man employed at the office
of the American Express Company,
had a very narrow escape early last
evening when a pistol with which he
was “fooling" was accidentally dis-
charged, the ball striking the desk
near by and passing out through the
floor. Fortunately the weapon was
pointed from him as well as away
from the door and sidewalk when dis
charged, otherwise the result might
have been more serious in its nature.
The young man was very much
frightened for a few momenta and
states that be will avoid another aucb
experience by having as little as pos-
sible to do with such weapons in the
future.
