R, E. McCrary, Pioneer
And Highly Respected
Colored Citizen, Is Dead
News was received here yesterday
of the passing of R. E. McCrary,
colored, "Uncle Dick” as he was
familiarly known to hosts of friends
both wnite and colored.
Death came Monday at the home of
his daughter, Mumie Evans, at Doug
las, Ga., to which place', he had gone
three weeks previous for an attended
visit. He was in feeble health when he
left Butler and doubtless continued
to grow worse. The message gave no
details as to his illness nor any in
formation as to funeral arrange
ments. However it is very probable
the remains will be brought here for
interment today or tomorrows
“Uncle Dick" was one of the most
intelligent and influential members
of his race the county has ever
known. He wax about 75 years of age
and in slavery times was owned by
tiie late Hon. Theodore Montfort, who
was exceedingly kind to him, giving
him a fair education and his freedom
following the Civil War. He contin
ued bis pursuit of an education and
became a leader to his people, at the
same time conducting himself in a
manner to gain and hold trie respect
of the whites.
Being a devout member of the
Baptist church for the colored,
1 uncle Dick" was chairman of the
word of deacons and a trustee of the
Mwd operated under the direction
oriae Baptist church for a number
of year®. His passing therefore is
'oourned by all who knew him.
Besides the daughter residing at

ENTHUSIASM OVER OUTLOOK
FOR EARLY COMPLETION OF
NO. 3 MANIFESTED AT HIGH
WAY MEETING THURSDAY.
No greater Interest has as yet ever
been siiown in the construction of
one of the main highways of the state
than was manifested at the meeting
of U. S. Highway; association held in
the thriving city of Thomaston
Thursday last. U. S. 19 and State
Route Three, as is generally known
are one and the same, and traverses
Taylor county from Upson county on
the north to Schley county on the
south. It originates at Erie, Pa., and
terminates at the Gulf of Mexico,
passing through the best section of
Georgia and. Florida.
Progress towards the early comple
tion of paving of this route, as shown
in the various reports made, was
most gratifying to the large number
of representative citizens along the
route' present at the meeting.
Quite a large delegation from But
ler attended the meeting and have
since expressed thmselves in feeling
’very grateful to Hon. James W.
Lott, of Americus, president of the
association, for his untiring efforts in
pressing the claims before the High
way Board for speedy action in the
completion of paving of this route;
also to the citizens of Thomaston for
gracious hospitality accorded them.
A number of equally interested Tay
lor county citizens were prevented
from attending the meeting by being
called to Atlanta to attend a meeting
of the Highway Board, which the
same day awarded a contract for pav
ing Route Three from Butler to the
Flint. river bridge.
The following comment was made
by President Lott at the conclusion
at the Thomaston meeting:
“Thursday's meeting at Thomaston
was the best in the history of United
States Route No. 19 association. There
was a good representation present
from practically every county along
Hie route. This is especially true of
the southwest Georgia counties. These
counties are interested more than over
in the building of permanent, hard-
surfaced. all-weather, all-season Mr:Ii-
wnvs. This is the kind of highway
the association proposes to' make
Route 19. '
“As far north as Pennsylvania tour
ists are deeply interested in the early,
completion of this highway. That it is
destined soon to become one of Geor
gia’s most important traffic arteries
was evident at Thursday’s meeting.
There was present at Thmaston two
gentlemen from Dahlonega. Both
made talks evidencing their interest
in the early completion of Route 19.
There was much appreciation for
work already done on this highway
by the state highway department.
There was also the belief, that this
work is to be continued until the
highway is finally completed. But
there was another spirit also evident.
This spirit is that nothing shall be
permitted to interfere with the con
tinuation of work on Route 19. Other
sections of Georgia have already
been given major attention by the
highway department.
‘‘Delegates at Thursday’s meeting
indicated in no uncertain terms their
determination that this basic route
shall now be rushed to completion as
quickly as possible. Then} is no
nusetion as to the economic need for
this highway. The final route has been
surveyed and determined. The vexed
ciuestions of crossing the railroad at
Rupert and the matter of avoiding
the McGarrah street crossing In
Americus are practically decided. All
that now remains is to grade and
hard-surfaee the highway itself.
“The importance of the highway is
so evident.' until no half-way meas
ures will he satisfactory to those in
terested in its immediate paving. The
indicatc-l volume of traffic that must
be handled over this highway follow
ing its completion is tremendous. On-
Iv a highway of full width and con
structed of material designed to
sustain this heavy traffic will be
sufficient. This is the kind of high
way delegates attending Thursday's
meeting expected the highway do
payment to make of Route 19. They
will be satisfied with nothing less.
“The outstanding feature of the
whole meeting, though, was the hos-
-Hal’tv extended bv Thomaston peo
ple. Never before has the association
been so well entertained. There was
no delav experienced at anv time. The
day was filled with entertainment)
whenever the business of the mooting
permitted. Thomaston Ls a busy, thriv
ing city.
Thomaston is to be congratulated
upon its development of the textile in-

decision as to becoming candidate for
United States senate to succeed the
late Wm. J. Harris until I could re

with my wife as to her wishes in the
matter, but due to pressure upon me
for a decision, I have conferred with

the United States senate, believing
my 20 years experience in the house

in a U Ve5ois r mtm in ^
Montezuma, Ga., April 26.—Two
automobile accidents occurred in
Montezuma and vicinity Sunday aft -
emoon. A. C. Heath, policeman,. was
knocked down and received painful
but not serious injuries. Emmilin
Haughabook, an aged negress, was
struck by a car on the highway, suf
fering a fractured skull and other in-
iurio-t from which she \lied. Both ac
cidents were said to have been un
avoidable.
The County Agent wishes to take
this means of acknowledging the
service rendered by the County and
Local Seed Loan Committees, and to
thank them for their public-spirited
unselfish cooperation. The brunt of
the work fell upon the shoulders of
the county committee composed of
W. A. Payne, T. J. Fountain and W.

served their communities just as
faithfully and were conscientious in
every case. They were as follows:

to himself and the stat.
Taylor county has gained consider
able favorable recognition with the
State Highway Board by tiie county s
determined effort to maintain its
convict' system, recognized os one of
the very best in the state and working
its convicts on state aid roads in the
county under contracts let from time
to time by the Highway Board; m
addition to building and maintaining
the public roods of the county.
The policy as adopted by our coun
ty commissioners and heartily ap
proved by at least seventy-five per
cent of the taxpayers of the county,
affords the greatest advantage to-
wads eliminating the county’s long
standing indebtedness and reducing
the advalorem tax to the lowest mini
mum, of any plan ever undertaken or
even suggested,
In this instance it will be a bit
of gratifying news to the taxpayers
of the county to know that in addi
tion to several miles of grading on
Route 22 from which the county will
be benefitted many thousands of dol
lars, a much larger contract is be
ing negotiated between the county
commissioners and the Highway
Board for grading the 30 miles of
road traversing the county east and
west through Reynolds, Butler and
Howard, recently placed on the state
highway system and known a® Route
96. The opportunity for the county
doing this work at a larger per cent
of profit than obtained on No. 22 con

destined to become one of the most im

Enrollment in 4-H Club Work
Requested By County Agent
Owing to the press of Seed Loan
and other work, the County Agent
has been unable to organize the 4-H
club boys as early this year os in
1930 and 1931.
Taylor County has done outstand
ing 4-H club work the past two years
and our enrollment showed an in
crease last year over 1930. In ,1930
we had 75 boys enrolled, last year 96.
This year we had hoped to enroll 125
but owing to the fact that the schools
have closed in the county and that the
season is getting late we must all get
busy or our 4-H club enrollment will
fall sort of our 1932 record.
This is an appeal to all who are in
sympathy with the 4-H club move
ment to see the hov in your communi
ty who needs 4-H dub work and who
would benefit by having a 4-H project
this year, and encourage him to sign
an application card with any of the
county leader boys. These boys are:
Dan Fountain, Reynolds; Cecil Parks
Howard; Julian Gill, Butler: Guy
Adams and Lewis Garrett, Wesley;

BURGLARY FOILED IN
JUDGE McLAUGHLIN’S HOME
COLUMBUS, MONDAY NIGHT
According to information received
here yesterday a prowler Monday
night attempted to break into the res
idence of Judge C. Frank McLaugh
lin in Columbus.
The prowler, it is learned, was
frightened away when members of
the family heard him attempting to
get into a window and ordered him
to leave. They then summoned police
who arrived too late to capture him.
It was found that the would-be
burglar had placed a step ladder
against the north side of the house
under a w'indow. When a member of
tiie family called out. he jumped from
the ladder and ran from the alley.
Judge McLaughlin was away from
home at the time attending court at
Buena Vista.
