LETTERS ON BOND ISSUE.
Gainesville, Ga., June 16, 1919
Mr. Editor: I am surprised to
learn that there is some misap
prhension in your county as to
my attitude toward road bonds,
and while I do not feel that my
position would amount to much
with your people, still I prefer
to be clearly understood when
so much is involved. No one was
more anxious or worked harder
for the success of bonds in this
county than myself, and cer
tainly no one was more pleased
when they carried almost unan
imously. Really I am very much
concerned for your county. Old
Forsyth is threat, it was there 1
first saw the light and spent the
whole of my youth, so naturally
I shall keenly regret any fail
ure on her part to keep abreast
of the times. Every county in
the state which has voted so far
has gone overwhelmingly for
roads, and I trust your county
may not be the first, and proba
bly the only one, to take a back
ward step.
My attitude has so long been
favorable to good court houses,
good roads and any and eevry
thing that meant progress that
it is a little surprising that any
notion to the contrary could for
a moment prevail with such as
know me.
Sincerely regretting that I’m
not able to do or say something
to bring you success, and anx
iously awaiting the outcome, 1
.am. Very truly yours,
J. C. Pruitt.
Editor: Chattahoochee district
is turning fast for bonds. I be
lieve this district will give bond
a big majority. We think it no
mistake to ask for two commis
sioners. also this will eliminate
most of the opposition to bonds
A. M. Henderson.
Editor: Bells District: Lets all
vote for bonds and help our Cos.
by government help get some
roads. This will help our county
Ben Bagley.
Editor: Ducktown district is go
ing for road bonds almost solid
We do not want a single vote
against bonds. M. L. llow ard,
L. T. Ledbetter, Geo. Bramblett
Editor: Settendown district is
changing fast for road bonds.
We have some opposition here
but think if the voters will come
■out we will give bonds a goo. 1
majority. J. R. Bramblett, W A
Holbrok.
Editor: I think Big Crock dis
trict will go for bonds by a big
majority. In fact 1 do not see
how we couuld aiiord to vot 1
against bonds causing us to
the government help W J Buice
Editor: Coal Mt. district will
give a good majority for road
bonds. I believe. I think this is
a good thing. Geo. W. Martin.
Editor: Vickery district will
give bonds a good majority.
They are changing fast for the
iast lew days. We ask for two
commissioners to help our Or
dinary. Dr. J. T. Hunter, E. 1'
Hawkins, Tom R. Poole.
Editor: We must vote for bonds
Personally 1 do not see how we
could miss the government help
by turning down road bonds.
Let’s all turn out on election
day and give bonds a big ma
jority. C. A. Milford.
Editor: We believe Hightower
district will be for road bonds
overwhelmingly. In fact there
is very little opposition here.
E. S. Sherrill, S. F. Pruitt, *■!.
D. Harris.
To the voters of Forsyth Cos.:
Several of our voters have ask
ed me to introduce a bill in the
coming legislature to create a
board of two commissioners to
assist our Ordinary in the road
building. It is my intention to
do this since I think to do this
would eliminate most of the op
position to bonds. Let us hare
bonds and good roads.
C. J. Harbin, State Senator.
New Bridge: .
Lets have good roads m r or
syth County. The best and
cheapest way to get these good
roads is to get them by bonds.
In order to get the government
aid this is the only way to build
roads. Let all the voter's come
out on election day and vote
for bonds as this will help our
county and each individual.
’ W. A. Black.
Chestatee:
To the voters of the 14th: In
order to get good roads in our
county let’s vote for bonds on
the 25th of June like all our ad
joining counties have done and
have some good roads in our
county, and sure this is the best
and only way to get highways
through our county.
J. L. McClure.
Roland:
Our district is almost solid
for good roads and road bonds.
We need good roads and if the
people will come out on the
25th and vote for bonds we will
have some good roads in our
county, which we all know is
very helpful to any county. We
must not stay at home on the
25th if we want to help our
county and ourselves.
G. E. Wallis.
Mr. Editor: In order to correct
an impression that I have been
opposed to the proposed bond
issue for Forsyth county, beg to
state that while 1 have enter
tained sonm epn'-eheusion a
bout the advisability of voting
bonds, the proceeds of whicn
would necessarily have to be
handled by one man under our
present system. I favor most
heartily good roads and shall
vote -ii favor of bonds since
there is to be introduced in the
General Assembly a bill creat
ing a Board of Commissioners
to act with our Ordinary. It is
not for lack of confidence in our
Ordinary that I prefer Commis
sioners, but think the handling
of such a sum of money is too
much responsibility to put up
on the shoulders of one man.
W. S. Davenport.
Editor: Forsyth county needs a
bond issue for road purposes
much more than many of the
counties that are voting bonds,
and I believe when the voters
are rightly informed they will
vote for bonds almost to a man
Geo. L. Heard.
BONDS, ,-at! NO BONDS. _
Bonds mean government aid
and relief to tax payers 50 per
cent or tax levy reduced one
half. The government pays the
other half. That is the U.S. will
pay 50 per cent of total cost of
all roads approved by the de
partment. This government aid
is prorated to the counties ac
oi ding to the ability of each
county to match the govern
ment dollar for dollar.
The reason we could not get
our road approved to Dawson
county line was our finance was
too weak, consequently they
gave us all we could handle at
that time.
When our application went
to Washington it was turned
down by the Attorney-General
on collateral being deficient at
that time we had no chaingang
to put up as collateral. I went
to both of our banks and got
them to sign an agreement to
finance the county’s part which
the Attorney General .turned
down, knowing it is illegal for
the county and banks to do this
kind of business under our road
law.
Later we installed our camp
and now have the convicts at
work on the roads of the county
which is accepted as our collat
eral to match the government’s
dollar which was accepted on
the road from Milton county to
Camming only.
Why tax you far away dis
tricts to build this road to Cum
rung and stop here? Why not
continue it through to Dawson
county and then from Hall Cos.
to Cherokee county line and
give practically all the districts
of the county this advantage so
you will share equally?
Bonds mean a graded soiled
road through every district in
the county. No bonds, mean all
the burdens placed on the tax
payers. Bonds mean one halt of

good ware (not cheap ware) —it’s worth a

AND REMEMEER—
The price of a Majestic Range this week
will not be increased, and there will hardly
be a great reduction for years to come, if
ever, but there may be an increase soon.
Economy is not merely spending the least
money—buying a range at too low' a price
is indeed false economy.
The first cost is not the only cost —the little
additional first cost of a Majestic is nothing

The Wonderful Unseen Riveting.
Yes, it’s rivet-tight, just like the old Majes
tic, but the rivets clinch inside of nickeled
parts, leaving nickel smooth as glass, and
there are no big, bulky bolt heads on the in
side. And, remember, rivets hold tight; bo Its

payers of the county.
This is simple and easily un
derstood to my mind.
Our bonds will be sold for
par, less cost of getting them
printed. No interest taken oui

of course, payable annualy.

know the doctrines of the bible j
as well as the preachers. They
should stand by the preacher
and see that he feeds the flock

Nearly a million Majestic Ranges, now eco
nomically, scientifically and satisfactorily
serving millions and millions of people, civil

superiority, over all others.
There is only one best. The public has judg
ed. The Majestic is recognized as the Stan
dard of all Ranges. The construction, mate

important features possessed by no other
