The Barrow Times Published Every Thursday A. G. LAM AH, Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Copy Six Months p One Copy One Yeah ?!■•>() " All communications must be signed by the writer Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice unjlej March 3, 1K79 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. —o 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. —-o 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. _o— • 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. o— 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. —o 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.
