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 | to li7 Ijk? C. L. Redman. JACKSON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, MAY 24th 1907.

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.

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.

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.— New York American.

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. Bubsceiber* iPifgrTrhs and Puritans.
