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. “It Is a good work, Messrs.

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. VASHTI NOTES. 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. •lknty of room for 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 the five hundred thousand of such 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.

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.
