“In addition to the boll weevil,

toward Metter because, although
close to the line, it is in another
county.
The result Is Metter hasn’t a
rea.ly first class road within ten
miles of its limits. It Is pointed out
that if Candler county Is created, it
will immediately proceed to work
the roads radiating from Metter and
connecting with good roads into the
county seats of all three of the
counties from which it proposes to
take a portion of territory.
Possibly Bulloch and the other
counties have done their best in road
construction, but that has not re
lieved the situation so far as it con
cerns the people of Metter.
There are one or two other simi

people of the communities involved

has aroused protest, but not In the
