ROADS l T NCAREI> FOR
WAvSTED MONEY.
If South Georgia counties epend
big sums in building roads and then
give little attention to keeping them
in gpod repair the good roads move
ment !s going to lose a great deal
of its popularity. Much of the money
spent for building roads will be
simply wasted unless after they are
bui’t they are kept in good shape.
Roads deteriorate very rapidly un
less they are patched whenever
patc hes are needed. Good roads pay
only when they are properly looked
after, only when holes and ruts and
cave-ins are eliminated as quickly
as they appear.
The Nashville Herald comments
as follows upon the road situation in
Berrien county:
"Berrien is spending $15,000 to
$10,000 a year on her public roads.
That is all right, but we ought to
spend $3,000 to $5,000 a year on
the upkeep of those same roads.
Berrien is making a big mistake in
spending so much for road building
and then allowing the roads to go
to ruin. They shou’d be taken care
of after they are built.”
Is that a true picture of conditions
in other South Georgia counties
than Berrien? If so, it is easy to see
that there will be a great deal of
dissatisfaction because of the spend
ing of thousands of dollars a year
in building new roads. If the coun
ties cannot afford to build new roads

FISH WAGONS NOT FINED
BY FLA. LEGISLATURE.
Crawford villa, Fla., Aug. 25, 1913.
Editor Times-Enterprise,
Thomasville, Ga.
Dear Sir: I understand that a re
port is being circulated in Georgia
to the effect that the last Legisla
ture of Florida passed a law Impos
ing a fine of ten ($10.00) dollars on
every wagon coming to the coast of
Florida for fish. I desire space
through your columns t<x correct
this statement, as no such law was
passed, nor was any other law pass
ed effecting wagons that come to the
coast for fish.
Yours very truly,
R. H. RAKER,

thousand miles, during their trip

Cairo. Aug. 27.—Linton Single

Singletary’s wounds have healed,

I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.

had not taken but about six bottles until

good than all the other medicines 1 had
tried, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and i told them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it*'
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
6uch as headache, backache, Bideache,
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
feeling?
If so. let us urge you to give Cardui a
trial. We feel confident it will help you,
Just as it has a million other women in
the past half century.
Begin taking Cardui to-day. You
