The rimes-Enterprise has received
the following letter, which takes
a delight 111 acknowledging the good
work which the county commission
ers of Thomas are doing la bridgin-
llie places in the county where the
streams make It very wet and mud
dy In rainy weather. This work was
begun some few months ago and the
main bridge was built on the road
to Moultrie, near Coolidge, which
bas dono away with one of the
worst pieces of much-traveled road
in the county. The policy is to he
adopted generally and where ‘.be
steel and concrete bridges are neces
sary they will be built. This is a
matter which Is of grave Importance
and the road builders all over th
ounbry are 1> tilding that character
of bridges In order to make them
more lasting, save time and save re
pairs and dangerous delays dttrln
flood periods.
The letter refers to the work on
the Montlcello road, which we have
net seen, but which will doubt
less he an Immense Improvement on
the old wide creek. It says:
A great many people are d<
lighted that the Commissioners hav
begun tbe work of bridging Olivo
Creek and the mud hole half a mile
South of it.
“The importance of this highway
between Thomasvlllo and Monticel-
lo would have Justified this work
being done long ago. Olive Creek
swimming” frequently after
heavy rains, and the mud hole be
yond is impassable for a loaded tea.n
except In quite dry seasous.
"As tho road by Glen Arven seems
to be finally dried out now, with the
new work being planned we will
have a good road over which the
farmers can haul a real load of pro
duce, and the automobile owners of
Thomasville and Montictllo can
have real Joy rides when they go to
visit each other, and the Montlcello
people come to Thomasville to trade.
“There ts always a little sadness,
•hough, about these road Improve
ments, where the streams crossed
was clear and the bottom sandy.
That was more picturesque than the
bridges: and the horse liked to rest
and stick his nose into the water,
and drink, too, if his owner had
neglected to water him before leav
ing home. But the safe, easy cross
ing over the bridge, and the greatly
Increased loads that can be hauled
must compensate for the loss of
beauty, and tho horse will find tbe
pulling so much easier that he will
not need the rest he got while
drinking, and in the general im
provement no doubt his owner will
acquire tbe habit of watering him at
home.
“Tha good read kulldiag la a
great public benefactioa. it works
better than almost anything else.
Tha rich people, payiag taxes ac
cording to tba amooot of property
tbey have, neceaaarily pay the bulk
of the oost, but tbe poor people, be
ing so much more numerous get so
much the greater benefit.

missioners,

a slight typhoid fever epidemic dur
ing the summer months because of
unsanitary arrangements or contag
ion rrom files. While the fever Is
not as virulent or dangerous [n this
climate as It Is farther north, its
toll is too often death and many
homes ihrougnout Georgia ant sad
dened by its visitation.
And, too, In tills section, mosqui
toes get in their iniquitous work
.lining tbe summer months, when
their homes are made by careless
folks in tbe shallow ponds and stag
nant water In cans and buckets
around tho house. The peoplo could
avoid this If they were half-way
careful. It is a matter which vitally
afreets them, but apparently not so
as to bring Its full realisation un
til some member of the family is
desperate ly 111 and the doctor tells
why it happened.
Flies don't go a block from where
they breed. They are born and
reared in filth unspeakable; they
come from places we would not
stoop to ‘.ouch. If It were possible
to avoid It. And yet, they are wel
come vlstlors to our tables, our food
and from thence to our stomachs,
with their contagion and death. It
is wonderful, how careless the aver
age folks are, and it is pitifully sad,
especially when their sins are cruelly
visited upon them.
Keep clean and keep the sur
roundings clean and you are free
from such dangers. Let yourself
and your premises he filthy and you
Invite disease and disaster.

TURKEY TIST FuRBIOOEN
School Girls Dance It Under Another
Name and Go Happily on
Their Way.
Atlanta. May 17.—Tile high school
girls who were forbidden to dance
the turkey-trot in the school halls
at recess, have named It the “chick
en flip," and are now dancing the
same dance to their heart’s content,
under the new name.
When the school authorities de
cided to exercise supervision over
the kind of dances the girls danced
among themselves at recess, two
graceful young ladies were called
into the principal’s ofllce to give an
exhibition. The principal, of course,
is a lady.
"Well," eh*J said after seeing tho
girls take a step or two, "I don’t
think it Is as graceful or dignified as
the old way of dancing, but I don't
see anything sinful in It. What
kind of dance do you call that?"
Now it was the turkey trot that
the girls had danced, but they were
afraid to call it by its name, so one
.of them piped up:
“It is called the chicken flip."
"Well, children, you can go aheaJ
and dance the chicken flip, but take
care not to dance the turkey trot,"
admonished the teacher.

VISITORS AT CHATTANOOGA
At a formal meeting of the Board
of Trustees, held May 15, It was de
cided to lease the Young’s College
property to the Superintendent of
the Vashti Home for the extension
of that work. The name of the col
lege will not be officially changed,
and the character of the new work
will fulfill the conditions of the be
quest.
Although a small institutions an 1
standing almost alone in its work.
Vashti Home, n Thomasville enter
prise, stands for the greatest cause
and the greatest public economy in
America today. To the first propo
sition, we will all, perhaps, agree,
for Vashti stands for the protection
of young womanhood against cor- j
•ruption and ruin.
The second proposition, the great
est public economy, can be proved
by simple arithmetic.
It costs only about $125 per year
to protect and train a dependent
girl, but if not protected, but al
lowed to go astray, she becomes the
most destructive and costly element
! In society. She ruins the young
men and boys wherever she goes:
she spreads a disease that causes
eighty per cent of all of our insan
ity; she becomes tbe strongest ally
of the liquor traffic and adds her
blight to its curse.
It is estimated that eacn fallen
woman costs, on the average, aix
thousand dollars per year, a id that

Chat'anooga, May 19.—Letters
come to the officials of the Chatta
nooga Reunion Association from
various points of the South asking
if there will be room enough in
Chattanooga to accomodate the large
crowd expected. There seems to be
some fear that the community will
not be equal to the emergency.
Whn Chattanooga invited the Con
federates to hold their re-union
here, there was a clear understand
ing of what would be expected of
the community In the way of en
tertainment. All of Chattanooga
realize that it wuld be no child’s
play to entertain the reunion, but
all were equally sure that it could
be done.
