Opposed to Bond Issue.
IN discussing ttie promised $70,000,000 bond issue by
the Good Roads Association the Cleveland Corn
ier says. “The Good Roads Association must be
reminded that the jwoplo are absolutely optioned to
any kind of Ihiikl issue just now. Before there will
ever be voted a road bond issue in Georgia there
must Ik* cleared from tin* people's mind that their
money is being improperly spent and a thorough
houso-chOiling of the many charge's, whether true
or not. being brought against the State Highway
department.
O
Large Volume in Bond
The records show that the year li>22 was a rec
ord one in the bond business. Those who had mon
ey put them in bonds. The American public show
ed more interest in bond investment than ever be
fore. Why was this? Din's it show that the peo
ple are more prosperous than ever before? Not at
all.
It shows that the business interests of this coun
try art* not so prosperous. Loans to merchants, far
mers ami other business interests are not inviting
Investments. The money lenders doubt the ability
of these lines of business to make good under pres
ent conditios.
Again, the men who in tin* past have borrowed
money and put it in farms and in building houses,
and have established business enterprises, arc o lon
ger interested in these lines of endeavor. High
taxes have made these investments poor proposi
tions. Nobody wants to build houses for rent in
Winder or hi any other city in the state of similar
size. Winder needs right now 100 medium size
house* for those who want to come to this city to
work. Recently a splendid enterprise went to Law
renceville that was offered to Winder if there had
Iven sufficient houses for its laborers. Another en
terprise went to Monroe for the same reason. Both
preferred to remain in Winder, but there were no
bouses for the labor that was m*eded.
Efforts have been put forth in this city to got peo
ple to build houses, but the line of investment is not
attractive. By the time the city, county and state
taxes are paid and the insurance, and the house is
kept in repair, there is very little left for the own
er. Some plan must lie worked out to make our
farms and city property more valuuble. Upon these
depend the prosperity of our country.
Bonds that only bring from 4 to U per cent are
far better investments now than city property or
garni lands.
The Best Kind of Charity.
WE would not not detract one iota from the impor
tance of the bibbeal injunction. “Bear ye one
another’s hardens." But xlr* hfur.c scripture says,
“Every man shall bear his own burden.” We have
been stressing tin* first injunction to the limit, wtiile
Ihe latter, which is the more important, has been
ignored by our moral and religious teachers. The
greatest of teachers said, "It is more blessed to give
than to receive." If this is truu then, we have been
depriving many of a blessing in the past. Giving
is a dangerous tiling. The recipient is often injur
ed bv receiving gift

A dry goods merchant was starting down town
when his wife reminded him of his most important
duty during the day. “Now, my dear, he sure to
send to the city for that new radio outfit, so we can
have it for Sunday. You know our old victrola Is
getting so that it is not tit to be hoard.”
And just a few blocks away the merchant who
handles victrolas and furniture was sitting at
breakfast with ids family. The conversation drift
ed around to the approach of school. “And that re
minds me, John,” said the lady, who sat at the head
of the table, “J must lie going to the city not later
than next week. I must get school clothes and see
about a fall suit, for myself, and while there per
haps I had better see about the new lace curtains
for the front window.”
An hour or two later a leading grocer stepped into
tlie bank to buy a draft, which la* was going to send
to a catalogue house for a swell bed-room suit.
“How's business?” asked the banker, “Oh, not so
very good,” replied the grocer, ’'tilings are dull
just now.”
Before the banker finished the draft a dapper
young man with a grip stepped up and asked how
everything was. The banker seemed glad to see
him. He was a representative of a big printing es
tablishment in another state. He and tin* hanker
chatted pleasantly for a few minutes, after which
flic young man inquired casually of his friend be
hind the window if he wanted anything. “Weil,
yea,” replied the banker.” “I believe I do. Print us
5000 drafts, 30,000 deposit, slips and a couple of
thousand letterheads.”
The young men thanked his friend cordially and
hustled out.
That night the local business men had a meeting
at the town' hall to discuss the growth of the mail
order evil. All the gentlemen mentioned in the nar
rative delivered short talks. They agreed that the
farmers were guilty of treason to their home mer
chants when they persisted in buying their goods
from mail order houses, and the meeting closed by
adopting strong resolutions against trading away
from home. —Exchange.
O
More Taxes Coming-.
UNDER the above caption, the Yidalia Ailpance
says: “According t<i Governor Hardwick,
neither free school books nor increased Confederate
pensions nor any of the other proposed additional
expenditures by the state will he possible unless tne
revenue of the state is increased.”
We would ask our good fr'end, Napier, are we
uonqielled to have free school books? Are we
obliged to increase the Confederate pensions? Is it
absolutely necessary that we assume any of the oth
er additional expenditures by the state?
Did you ever see any individual or any institution
that was ever satisfied with what they weire getting?
We've heard that old cry of our state institutions
being rubied unless they could get more money un
til we are tired of it. The great mass of the peo
ple are of more value than all our institutions, for
without these people we don't need any of our insti
tutions. Would there lie anything wrong in try'ng
to put as few burdtfc as inissihle upon the great
mass of working people, many of whom are not
making buckle and tongue meet?
O
Did You Ever Stop to Think?
That with keen business competition prevailing,
most business men are prone to increase their bus
iness by increased advertising.
That they realize that the people owe it to them
selves and to their pocket books to read advertise
ments.
That tin* thrifty people read the advertising col
umns because it is a business proposition to do so.
That advertised goods are t*est by test, they pro
tect tbc buyer.
That tin* merchant who builds Iris business by ad
vertising. quality and service', is the successful bus
iness man of today.
That the consistent advertiser always keeps clean,
up-to-date stocks.
That if he had not lived up to bis advertising and
liis business dealings he would not be in business
today.
That progressive business men are insuring
the soundness of their future growth by advertising.
That it pays to l*e known as a live business man;
they are judged by their advertising.—Financial

The Alpharetta Free Press is quite r’gbt when it
