Don't forget that the Traffic Cop
i ,< not a mind iead<-i and can't 1 1* I ! ,
which way you Want to go unless you
indicate in K&nte way with* your hand*.
If you wish to turn to the right put
out th.v i tght hand. If to the left put
out the left, and if straight ahead
hold your hand Htraight in front of,
you. ? V:
Don't forget the. city- law call* for
fifteen milt s an. hour and the State
law says you must slow down to six
miles an hour when crossing a road i
or w.here road forks. This means city
? trtCts DeKalb and Broad streets.
Don't forget the city law calls for
two lights in front and one red light
on rear of all motor vehicle'#? > Said
lights to be dim on the white way.
Don't forgot to drivo to the right
and turn to left whun turning* at
street corners.
Don't forget to park your car at
an angle of 15 degrees on all streets.
It helps you to, remember to park
right on Broad street.
Don't forget and leave your motor
running when you are not in car to
operate it. Some one might hit it and
laiock the clutch in, then you would be
to blame for the results.
Don't forget to remember the other
fellow can Ik? counted on to always
do the unexpected and wonder why
you did not rrrhc v.as going to do it.
Don't for^ei. lu iuti your cur. far
enough uwav from cars parked on
y
side of street -o if a kid should run
out from behind a car you were pass
ing you would n ?t hit him,
Don't forget that horns are put on
autos as a signal to warn people and
not as a meatus to call, with, so don't
run up in front of .lack's house and
l.dow and blow your horn to kcI Jack
up to go bu'Uini;. Jack's neighbors
may want to sleep and don't care to
go hunting.
Don't forget that 75 per cent of all
auto accidents are caused by whiskey.
So i h e mist has ever been able to mix
gasoline and whiskey successfully.

Citizens of Rafting Creek Petition
Governor t or -Change.
(Friday's Sumter Item.)
The desire of more than one-third
of the qualified voters, as set forth in
the petition of Rafting Creek school
district No. 2f> (Pisgah) to annex that
section of Sumter county to Kershaw
county, if a majority of the voters so
decide, in an election to he ordered
by Governor McLeod, is set for.th in a
(ftition tiled with Governor Mil. cod
a few days ago. Th? citizens of tho
Iri laiu o of Sumter County will, of
course, regret to lose any of the ter
ritory of the county or any of the citi
zens who have been identified with
Sumter county all their liyes, but if
they tire convinced that it will be to
their advantage to leave Sumter coun
ty and affiliate with Kershaw, it is
their right to take this action and no
j one will attempt to interfere. It is
not known here what is the actuating
motive in the proposed severance of
the iclations with this county, espec
ially in view of tho fact that annexa
tion to Kershaw will not relieve the
property owners of the Pisgah section
of any taxation that has been assum
ed by Sumter county, as at present
constituted, by the issuance of $2,000,
000 bonds for the construction of the
paved highway system. The proper
ty owners of Pisgah will have to pay
their pro rata share of the * taxes
le\ ied to pay the two million dollars
of bonds, principal and interest, al
though they may vdte that section
into Kershaw county.
The Petition to the Governor.
We, the undersigned, constituting
more than one-third of the qualified
electors residing in that section of
Sumter county, consisting of Rafting
Creek School District No, 25 of said
Sumter county, do hereby respect
ful! v ? petit ion your Excellency .to pro
ceed at your earliest convenience to
appoint commissioners and to take
such other steps' as are provided by
law t'or the annexation of the afore
said section of Sumter county, con
sisting of Rafting Creek School Dis
trict No. 2fj, to the adjacent county of
Kershaw.
According to our best information
the said area of Sumter county pro
posed to be annexed to Kershaw
county contains between nine and ten
square mile* and is represented by a
plat of the same of record in Sumter
county, as ' petitioners are informed,
and that the proposed alteration of
the division line between Kershaw
and Sumter counties will leave both
counties as to area population, proper
ly values and otherwise, in full com
| planee with constitutional require
ments.
Wc therefore request that your Ex
ccllency appoint as the two commit
?loner* residing within the territory
of Sumter county proposed to bo an
nexed , H. ('. Dul're, and T. M. Rogers.
