JACKSON COUNTY TO VOTE ON PUBLIC ROAD BONDS.
All the counties so far voting for bonds to build better roads are
casting? a practically solid vote in favor of bonds.
They are acting the part of wisdom and manifesting a progress
iveness which unquestionably indicates the desire and determination
of every one to measure up to his duty and his obligation and have
permanent highways.
The Times is proud to know that the good old county of Jackson
will, on May 14th, submit to it’s public spirited and wide-awake peo
ple the privilege ol voting for an issue ol si00,(101 (PUBLIC ROAD
BONDS.
We feel assured this election will be overwhelmingly in favor of
the bond issue, because Jackson county is composed ol a
a citizenry all of whom love and are loyal to their county and have
a laudable ambition to see it lead in all things that are for it s ma
terial growth and for the developement of it’s wonderful resources.
The editor of the Times feels very close to Jackson when a large
portion of his years were spent, where many of his life-long and loyal
friends still abide; and next to his adopted county of Barrow his
heart and best wishes ever lean to this dear old county of his boy
hood days.
Feeling this way, we are deeply concerned in the prosperity and
well-being of it’s citizens and in every effort made for it s advance
ment.
We beg to he pardoned if any one should charge us with going
beyond our prerogatives and meddling in the altairs of a sister com
monwealth, but the coming election for bonds means so much for
Jackson county we cannot refrain from saying what we have, confi
dently believing these splendid people fully recognize it s impor
tance and that few of them will vote against bonds and oppose it’s
onward march to higher aims and greater achievements.

The counties issuing bonds for road purposes will in a short while
be fifty years ahead of those who refuse to do so.

With the different governments and the conglomiration of ideas
and demands which had to bo properly adjusted, those sitting at the
peace table over in Europe do not rest in soft and easy chairs. I lie
man afar off has little idea of the problems and complications that
must be solved.
— o
It is indeed unfortunate for a man to form the habit of criticis
ing his government. The habit grows until he secs nothing good in
it but continual abuse. When one readies this point it would be
much better for him and for his country, were lie to renounce his al
legiance and try some other country more congenial and more in ac
cord with his diseased ideas and false conceptions of government.

Walton county gave an almost solid vote last week for bonds and
lietter roads. Hurrah for Walton and the spirit actuating it s live
citizens. Their bond issue was for two hundred thousand dollars and
1809 ballots were for bonds and only 143 against bonds. No man who
thoughtfully considers will oppose bonds for building permanent
highways through his county.

How many of us are thankful that conditions are as good at the
present as they really are. They could he much worse. It is better
to be in the attitude of the old woman, than not to lie at all thankful,
for when herlmsband died and she was being condoned by her friends
said to them, “It could have been worse, the old cow might have
died.” We do not know w hether she intended to convey the fact that
the old cow was her favorite as between the two, but it does show that
the old woman wasnot a kicker and growler.
THE EGO AND SELFISHNESS IN MAN.
The man who is so selfish in his makeup and so full of t lie ego
that he will sacrifice loved ones, friends and all others to gratify his
own desires and satisfy his own ease and comfort is worth little to
his Clod, his country or to humanity.
It is hardly conceivable there are such men in this enlightened
age—men utterly insensible to all the finer instincts of real manhood,
men who at heart have no fellow feeling for the sorrows and dis
appointments of others, men who care for no one hut themselves and
who have no genuine and sublime reverence for (iod or the institu
tions trying to represent Him on earth and men who can see nothing
good in others.
But there are a few men of this type in all climes, sections and
countries, who, instead of doing their part to make the world better,
to brighter the lives of those around them, delight to bring discord
and mar the lives that yearn for love and sympathy.
Such characters seldom reach the heights of fame, where the tru
ly great delight to dwell, never breath the incense of the roses in the
elysian fields, never soar to higher and purer climes on angels wings
and are of little benefit to society or to mankind.

The sheriff of Gwinnett county lias returned to Law renceville
from Oklahoma with a man supposed to he Henry Carter, wanted for
the murder of J. S. Braswell, of Gwinnett county about fifteen years
ago. No one there can identify him as the Henry Carter of Gwinnett,
and the sheriff is in a dilemma. He brought hack a man named Carter
but may he the wrong Carter for tiie courts of Gwinnett county to
handle.

The article in this issue on the Yicory Loan by .Mr. M. G. Michael,
of Athens, zone chairman, is worth reading by every man and woman.
It flows with patriotism and appeals to every one who loves his flag
and his country and you will catch the inspiraion which prompted
Mr. Michael’s thoughts. When he says, “Victory, an honorable vic
tory is caught in the ocean’s spray and bathes, like glistening dew
from heaven, the shores of every land and clime.” What beautiful
diction, what lofty sentiment. Few could excel it.
WHAT WILL BARROW COUNTY DO?
Walton county has voted $200,000 for bonds to build better roads
and Jackson will on the 14th of next month vote an issue of SIOO,OOO
for the same purpose.
These two adjoining counties recognize what this means for their
future developement and the convenience of their people.
What will Barrow county do? Our citizens are just as loyal,
just as progressive and patriotic. They want to see Barrow with as
good roads as any other county, and her reputation for enterprise
and broadness sustained. There are few men in it’s borders who would
stop it’s onward march and oppose any move that is for the good of
it’s citizens.
There is no man in it, we feel,after due consideration would let
little petty whims and prejudices influence him to oppose his own in
terest and that of his county as a whole.
There is no one of our splendid citizens who is so selfish that lie
does not want the county to rank among the leading ones of the state.
There is not a man in it so selfish and lacking in public velfare
as to oppose PUBLIC ROAD BONDS because he may not get a first
class road through his farm as quickly as others may get one. Our
people are not built of this kind of material.
There is only one way by which we can get good roads that will
he fair and just to the present generation and the one to follow us,
and that is by issueing bonds..
If we had a bond issue sufficient to do this and also to build a
modern courthouse there would be no county in Georgia to surpass
ours.
Our people should begin to agitate this move at once and not lag
behind and neglect our opportunity. View it from a broad and pa
triotic angle, look at it unselfishly, have a righteous ambition to see
your county the equal of any other and he ready at all times to be on
the side of progress and for those things w hich help to build up and
not to tear down.
The T imes believes in the people of Barrow county, has confi
dence in them and that they are ever ready to stand firm to those
things which are wortli while.
We should lie united in a move of this kind which means so much
to us all, and we are, therefore, writing this article that we may be
gin to think at once and talk over the matter with one another, with
the earnest desire we may he of one mind on this important question.
