SOME REMARKS ON OUR
PUBLIC ROAD SYSTEM.
There has been a great deal said a
bout the working of the roads of
Butts County. The general complaint
is the high taxes and poor roads. I
think the complaint is well founded
and tne conditions will remain until
our roads are worked differently. This
is not intended as a reflection on the
commissioners nor the road overseers
for they are doing the best they can
probably with the present machinery
and the amount of money they have
to work with. The bad places in the
road eannst lie wonced well with a
road scraps. It does good work on
smooth roads but when it comes to
moving and pulling down hills tin}
scrape is no good, for that kind of
work you need about 20 convicts and
the necessary machinery for building
a tirst class road. A 16 H. P. Traction
engine will cost less, last longer and
do more work than 20 mules and with
a great deal less expense. Then you
need a rock crusher. The engine will
run that. Then you want to pull down
the hills, till up the low places and
put in rocks where needed. Then you
will have a road that it will be a
pleasure to travel over. There is
hardlv a citizen in the County that
does not remember how hard it was
to pull a load up Cabin Creek Hill
near Griffin when people used to do
their marketing there. That hill has
been graded lately until a team can
go up it in a trot. But it takes more
money we can raise by taxation to
build first class roads in our County
with the amount spent each year.
The work done is only tempory and
needs to be done over each year.
Therefore the taxes are continually
being spent and your roads are no
better. Now the remedy is to sell
bonds to the amount of $100,000.00
payable in 30 years. These bonds
could be sold at i% without any
trouble. With that amount the roads
could be put in good condition and
then it would not cost much to keep
them in good fix. The interest on the
bonds would be $4000.00 per year eo
keep the roads up That would be
S7OOO per year. Now you spend a
bout SIOOOO.OO per year and still have
no roads. The increase in the proper
ty on your Couuty caused by Jyour
good roads would more thau pay the
monev back pnd wouldn’t really cost
the people a penny. Besides, people
are coming into our county each year
and there would be more people to
pay this money back. But the cost
is nothing compared to the comfort
and pleasure of hauling good roads.
Then the people will stay on their
1 farms. There’s not so much allure
ments on the rm now when you
start to town or church with your bug
gy continually dropping in holes,
ringing over bump3, up hill and down
A person with a lot of life in him
likes to go faster than he can go o ver
a country road. He moves to town
where its convenient to ride on the
train. With good roads tke Rural
Mail Routes would be complete. Ev
®ry man’s mail wou.Ad be brought to
his home, your schools would build up
in the country for the children could
go without so much ill convenience.
You go North yoh find the country
thickly settled. Land worth from
$75.00 to $150.00 per acre and it is
not as productive as ours but they
have the finest public roads you ever
saw. Then its a delight to live in the
country and travel over such roads
as that. People who own land will
live on it, improve and beautify the
homes and make the country indeed
an ideal place to live. There ia noth
ing that will tend to build xp the
[ country and make It a pleanar.t place

BANK FIOGUST GROVE

The Twins.
The Harmon twins looked so much
alike as babies that their parents
could scarcely tell them apart. As they
grew older it became evident that to
Grandmother Harmon at least the
twins were a unit.
“You were asking me how much the
twins weigh,” said Grandmother Har
mon to a neighbor. “When I went out
that afternoon I put one of them on
the scales at the grocery and found
they weigh just twenty-six pounds.”
“Do they always weigh exactly the
same?” inquired the neighbor, nnd
Grandmjther Harmon looked quite im
patient.
“The twins?” she said. “Of course;
why hot?”
The neighbor had no reason to give,
but she rebelled a few days later when
in answer to her inquiry Grandmother
Harmon said:
“ ‘Where are the twins?’ Oh, they
got a cinder in one of their eyes, and
their mother has taken them down to
the oculist’s to have it removed, they
were fussing so over it."—Youth’s
Companion.
Where Diners Had to Be on Time.
Closely parallel to the l’ng end of
the Euston road and visible from it at
various turnings Is a street which be
longs to few men’s London. It is a
dingy, granite paved, populous street
of no attraction. Yet this street has
known better times and eager guests.
In the house he knew as 43, now oblit
erated by a big new warehouse, Dr.
William Kitchener entertained his fel
low wits and gourmets. He had am
ple means to ride his three hobbies,
optics, cookery and music. His din
ners were often elaborate experiments
in cookery, and the guests bad to rec
ognize this fact. Five minutes past 5
was the minute, and if a guest came
late the Janitor had irrevocable orders
not to admit him, for it was held by
tiie 1 mythical “committee of taste,”
of whom Kitchener was “secretary,”
that the perfection of some of the
dishes was often so evanescent that
“the delay of one minute after their
arrival at the meridian of concoction
will render them no longer worthy of
men of taste.”—T. P.’s London Weekly.
When Cleveland Said “By Gosh!”
“A long legged friend of mine, who
may be called Bill Jennings as well as
anything else,” says Emerson Hough
In Appleton’s Magazine, “always in
sisted that he was responsible for the
opening of the Cherokee country. ‘I
went down to Washington,’ said he,
‘to see Cleveland about it. I went up
to the door of Cleveland’s house—right
at the front door—and I knocked, and I
heard Cleveland holler out to me,
“Come in!” I went in, and there was
Cleveland sittin’ in the parlor, with all
his cabinet there too. I says to Cleve
land, “Cleveland, them Injuns has got
to go and tfuem eow men too.” I put It
to him right plain. Cleveland he lis

Making a Sale.
A successful salesman who was dis
cussing the principles underlying his
line of business made tire remark:
“Never go into a customer's store and
sit down while you are trying to sell
him goods. Let him sit down if he
wants to, but you stand up and tiro
the stuff at him If lie offers you a
chair say: ‘No, I thank you. I have
been sitting down too much already.’
As you stand and lie sits he has to
look up. And if there is sucli a thing
as business hypnotism in nature thnt’s
the time when it gets In its work.”
When Horses Had Fingers.
The earliest fossils from which wo
lilerive our knowledge, of the prehistoric
horse show that the modern animal
is descended from an ancestor that was
smaller than a sheep and possessed
five fingers and five toes. The earth
was largely swampy in the period of
the earliest horse, and the wider feet
were an advantage. As the earth rose
and the ground hardened, tlio digits
of the horse became useless, and the
animal gradually evolved into the one
fingered and one toed horse of today.—

SUBSCRIBER TAKES A SHOT
AT MR. TOM {AND JERRY.
Mr. Editor: In reading the columns
of your paper it seems that city poli
tics and city management has caused
some personalities to have been in
dulged in. That is because one J. R.
Carmichaels connections with the ci
ty’s affairs have not been satisfactory
to certain parties and for that reason
his name has had considerable men
tion in your paper. Now it would b
indeed very embarrasing to said Car
michael to reply to the articles but
this matter, if done at ail, will neces
sarily be left to his friends. Now in
reflecting over the past life of Mr.
Carmichael we find that hs has not
lived to himself in the past. We find
him a few years ago at the head of a
large buggy manufacturing company
thus building up the town and at the
same time giving employment to a
large number of employees. The ex
hibit be had of his buggies at the
State Fair was considerably ahead of
anything there. Then about five years
ago he saw the noed of a conpeting
bank in our city and he at once began
the organization of what is now the
First National Bank and he with his
ever pleasant officers has been a great
saving to the general public In Bank
ing matters. Before the First National
Bank was organized the other bank
had things its own way, but now mon
ey matters are not only easy Id our
city but the rate of interest is consid
erably cheaper, thus showing that
the competition between the two
banks has been advantageous to the
people. So you see J. R. has not been
without some very good deeds.
