RANDOM NOTES
By Old Caesar.
We were very much in hopes that
the new building of the consolidated
schools would be near completion
ere this time and the coming to
gether of the four schools would
not be later than January 1, 1925, but
now the time seems to be indefinite,
in fact, further off than when com
menced.
"Snake” last week suggested leav
ing the selection of the site to dis
interested parties. That is the big
trouble —leaving the selection of the
place to parties who possibly knew
nothing about the location of any
of the places suggested, only through
what others might say. In fact, we
believed this to be a local affair of
the schools interested, and when the
trustees were elected ALL THE
BUSINESS was put into their hands
to do as they thought best for all
concerned. We voted that ticket
and believed the gentlemen elected
were competent to handle the work,
and think so yet, were it not for
disinterested parties, who are trying
to usurp the powers vested in the
trustees.
Quite a number of the people are
getting very much wearied over this,
and would like to see the end of it.
If the trustees can not get together
and settle on the site, why go to
law? There are three places named,
Hilton, Rock Hill and Walters Ford.
Let the trustees call an election
and let the people say where it
shall be and let the place getting a
majority of the votes cast be settled
on as the location. If all his delay
and haggling is not interfering with
the progress of our boys and girls,
not tampering with their future
success, and they will do as well in
the one, two and three teacher
schools, why consolidate? Most any
one knows what the consolidation
means to the child and the teacher.
Then why let any outside influence
come in and deprive the child of
even one day, continuing the heavy
burden' on the teachers, with too
many grades, which means a loss in
teaching the lesson, and the child
gets only a smattering idea of the
lesson. Can we ruthlessly over-ride
right and justice and flagrantly dis
regard the rights of children? No!
no!
“God give us men, a time like this
demands,
Strong minds, great hearts, true
faith and willing hands.”
We want leaders, men who will
dare stand up for the rights and
liberties of the children, men who
will scorn to obstruct the way of
the child to future efficiency, men
of ability who are able to achieve
greater possibilities in constructive
education. Oh, give us
“Men who can stand before a dem
agogue
And damn his treacherous flatteries
without winking,
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live
above the fog
In public duty and in private think
ing.”
Miss Inez Brow r n left for Jackson
ville, Fla., September 20th, where
she will teach again in high school
at that place, also Miss Johnnie Myr
tice Chamabers left for Pulaski ooun
ty, Ga., September 27th, where she
is engaged to teach in the high
school. These young ladies are
among Early county’s best teachers.
It is very gratifying to their many
friends to know they occupy these
important positions away from home,
but why should Early county let
such extra teaching talent get away,
when it is so badly needed here?
Success to you, young ladies, and
may the most beautiful and richest
flowers brighten your pathway in
your chosen profession.

Our school at Sowhatchee opened
up Monday morning, with Mrs. Hel
en C. Lee, principal, and Miss Clyde
Morgan first assistant, Miss Eunice
Hay second assistant. The inclem
ency of the weather prevented many
from coming in. Only fifty-nine en
rolled.
Let everybody do their duty in
sending their children and keep the
school in the front ranks. Prove
to the teachers you appreciate their
work with regular attendance.

to the Constitution of Georgia to be j
voted on at the General election to j
be held on Tuesday, November 4th, j

An Act to propose to the qualified

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 flßethod 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 Highway, 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

rected by ten commissioners, to be
selected, four from Chatham, two
from Glynn, and one each from Bry

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 disti'ict an
amount sufficient to pay and retire
the bonds as they come due and pay

: General, and the proper authorities
lof each county, shall at or before
j the issuance of said bonds provide
! for the levying, assessment and
j 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

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
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

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

composing said district, or any other
county or municipal corporation or
political subdivision of said State,
to incur any other bonded indebted
ness.”

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

declaring that the proposed foregoing
amendment to the Constitution of
the State is submitted for ratification
