RANDOM NOTES
By Old Caesar.
We failed in getting the names of
Rev. and Mrs. W. B. and Mr.
and Mrs. C. B. English last week
as among those who made their
home at Sowhatchee.
The school in 1901-1910 did well in
attendance, but after that time in
difference commenced to develop
among a few that caused a great
falling off in every way. The local
tax was voted out, which left the
school in had financial condition.
At this time the school demanded
three teachers, as the population was
rapidly increasing and the number of
children was such that with three
teachers a fine work could not be
accn^phslieu.

Our neighbor, Mr. Hardy Brown,
had a thrilling experience a few
days ago, when some one stole a
bushel of meal from him in Blakely.
Accompanied by the efficient and
genial marshal of Blakely, Mr. Carl
Hobbs, they went to a negro house
to look for it. On entering the house
a negress made to run. Mr. Hobbs
stopped her, and on sight of the
pistol she pleaded so pitifully and
with an outburst of tears, and they
decided she was innocent. But get
them to finish the story.
We believe Mr. Carl Hobbs is an
upright and truthful man and owns
a very clever dog, but that ten
pound trout and thirty-five cents in
change sounded extremely fishy to
ns.

JUST A WORD OR TWO.
We understand that there isn’t
any such thing as a Rock-Hilton Con
solidated School District. And again
we understand that we are to have
a Rock-Hilton Consolidated school —
but not district —in the future. It
is strange why those three gentle
men who were elected trustees for
the Rock-Hilton Consolidated School
can not get together on a suitable
place for the building. While they
are supposed to have level heads
and abundance of good judgment,
they make us think of three hound
pups all pulling for the same hone
for their own interests, not thinking
how it may hurt the majority. If it
could have been left with some disin
terested party and politics kept out,
it would have been erected at Hil
ton —the right and only place for it.
Then it could carry its true name
which was given it by the Superin
tendent and one of the leading trus
tees, Rock-Hilton Consolidated School.
We do hope that these three wise
men will get together and start the
ball to rolling and give the children
the benefit before they die with old
age. Don’t forget the name, Rock-
Hilton Consolidated School.

N 0.496 .
An Act to propose to the qualified

Amendment to the Constitution of
the State of Georgia, authorizing
the creation of “The Coastal High
way District,” to be composed of
Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, Mclntosh,
Glynn and Camden counties, as a
political subdivision, body politic
and corporate, for the purpose of
aiding in the construction of a
Public Highway through said coun
ties, to provide that said Coastal
Highway District may issue bonds,
and to provide for a method of re
tiring said bonds and the payment
of the interest thereon, and for
other purposes.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Georgia, and it is hereby enacted by
authority of the same, That the
Constitution of the State of Georgia
be amended by adding the follow
ing sub-paragraph to follow Para
graph 1 of Article 7, Section 7, the
same to be known as Paragraph 1-d,
towit: “The Coastal Highway Dis
trict is hereby created as a political
subdivision, body politic and corpor
ate of this State, for the purpose of
aiding in the construction and com
pletion of the Public Highway known
as the Dixie and South Atlantic
Coastal Highw-ay, extending from the
Savannah river to the Florida line,
with the right to sue and be sued,
to have a seal, make contracts and
to do all things necessary or proper
to carry out the purpose of this
Amendment. The said district shall
be composed of the territory of the
Counties of Chatham, Bryan, Liber
ty, Mclntosh, Glynn and Camden
Counties. The said Coastal Highway
District shall have authority to issue
bonds not exceeding $900,000.00 for
the purposes aforesaid; the bonded
indebtedness of said district shall be
incurred and the expenditures of
funds derived therefrom as well as
all other matters and transactions
necessary to carry out the purposes
of the Constitutional Amendment
shall be managed, controlled and di
rected by ten commissioners, to be
selected, four from Chatham, two
from Glynn, and one each from Bry
an, Liberty, Mclntosh and Camden
counties. The said commissioners
shall be selected and vacancies filled
by the officers in charge of levying
taxes in said counties respectively,
and shall hold office for a period of
five years and until their successors
are selected and qualified. The bonds
when issued shall be ” signed and
sealed by said commissioners and
shall be a lien upon the entire prop
erty of all of the counties composing
said district, and a first lien to the
extent of the annual retirements and
interest payments thereon upon any
sums payable annually hereafter by
the State of Georgia to the said
counties respectively from amounts
collected from gasoline and oil taxes
until all bonds of said district are
retired. At or before the issuance
of said bonds the commissioners of
said district shall assess the coun
ties composing said district an
amount sufficient to pay and retire
the bonds as they come due and pay
the interest on the same. The bonds,
principal and interest, shall be re
tired within 30 years from the date
of issuance. The assessment against
each county shall be in proportion to
the taxable value of the real and
WRIGLIYS
personal property (including public
utilities) returned for taxation, as
finally adopted by the Comptroller-
General, and the proper authorities
of each county, shall at or before i
the issuance of said bonds provide
for the levying, assessment and i
collection annually of a sum suffi
cient in amount to pay the principal
and interest of such county’s part of
said indebtedness, as the same be- i
comes due, and the complete retire- ;
ment of the indebtedness within
thirty years from the date of incur- ;
ring said indebtedness. Any excess
of such taxes collected by any county <
over and above the amount necessary i
to that county’s liability for that
year, after first using the amounts
derived from gasoline and oil taxes
as hereinbefore provided, shall be
retained and the tax levied for the <
succeeding year shall be that much
less. The bonded indebtedness here
provided for shall be incurred only j
after it has been submitted to the ,
qualified voters of said district at an ,
election to be called by the said ,
District Commissioners and held in
the same manner as elections for the
incurring of a bonded indebtedness
by counties, municipalities and divis
ions. In determining the result of
the election, the vote of the entire
district shall be consolidated and
counted as a unit, each county shall
pay the expenses of the election in
that county. The vote shall be con
solidated and the result of the elec
tion declared by the District Com
missioners herein provided for. The
Superior Court of any county in said
district shall have jurisdiction to val
idate the said bonds, in conformity
with the law providing for the vali
dation of county, municipality and
division bonds; and the certification
by the clerk of the Superior Court,
taking jurisdiction of such validation
alone shall be sufficient certification.
The proceedings for the validation
may be instituted by the Solicitor
General of any Judicial Circuit with
in which any of said counties lie,
but the proceedings shall be served
upon the authorities managing the
fiscal affairs of each of said counties,
and they shall make answers there
to. Such indebtedness when incurred
shall not be considered in determin
ing the power of any of the counties
composing said district, or any other
county or municipal corporation or
political subdivision of said State,
to incur any other bonded indebted
ness.”
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted by
the authority aforesaid, That when
said Amendment shall be agreed to
by two-thirds vote of the members
elected to each House, it shall be
entered upon the Journal of each
House with the “ayes” and “nays”
thereon and published in one or
more newspapers in each congres
sional district of this State for two
months previous to the time for
holding the next general election,
and shall at the next general elec
tion be submitted to the people for
ratification. All persons voting at
said election in favor of adopting the
said proposed Amendment to the
Constitution shall have written or
printed on their ballots the words:
“For ratification of amendment to
Article Seven (7), Section Seven (7),
Paragraph One (1), of the Constitu
tion, authorizing the creation of the
Coastal Highway District as a body
corporate and politic, to be composed

to vote for members of the General
Assembly, voting thereon, shall vote
for ratification thereof, when the re
sults shall be consolidated as now
required by law in election for mem
bers of the General Assembly, then
said amendment shall become a part
of Article Seven (7), Section Severn
(7), and known as Paragraph 1-d of
the Constitution of this State, and
the Governor shall make a proclama
tion therefor as provided by law.
Approved August 18, 1924.

issue this my proclamation hereby
declaring that the proposed foregoing
