July 1 a Federal fund of $2,500,000 became
available for building roads in Georgia. It will
be apportioned by the State Highway Commie-
lion at a meeting called for July 17.
The State road fund amounts this year to
$267,101.77 and this will be sent cut within the
next few days. Of the State fund, which is de
rived from automobile tax, Tift county will get
$1,347.96. Other counties in this immediate
section have been apportioned as follows: Col
quitt $2,127.31; Cook $936.65; Irwin $1,424.89;
Turner $2,231; Worth $2,110.68.
Besides this large fund, which is required by
law to be expended for road improvement work,
the government has many army trucks and much
road building material which will be given to the
counties, the only expense td them being the
cost of loading and the freight. Georgia rec
ently received its second allotment of 100 of
these trucks and several of these have not been
taken up. Tift county should apply for one of
them and for some of the road building equip
ment. This county will not participate in this
distribution of the Federal road fund, but will
have a part in the next distribution, or as sodn as
our bonds are sold and the county is ready to go
to work on a 50-50 basis.
But three millidn dollars in public money
spent on the roads in the state this summer will
help some—especialy when the counties dupli
cate the government’s investment.

NO BARBECUE AT TIFTON.
After a good deal of discussion and hesita
tion, it is apparent that Tifton will have no bar
becue on the Fourth of July this year. So far
as reported to date, there will be no other form
of public entertainment here on that day.
The proposition for a barbecue was received
with enthusiasm in some quarters and with in
difference in others. There was a general feel
ing that Tifton should do something by way of
welcome to the returned soldiers, while some
argued that there are many soldiers still over-
leas and that the welcome should be postponed
until they are all back.

does little if any good. The only safe way is to,
pick up the squares and burn them. When it
is remembered that every weevil destroyed now
cuts off a dozen or more in August, the necessity
for a vigorous and continued fight is apparent.
It is the only way to save the cotton crop—
and 35-cent ccitton is worth saving. The time
is short if effective work is to be done.
With wild-cat stills in nearly every community
in Georgia, officers hunting for whiskey should
be able to find what they are looking for without
“mussing up” the baggage of young women who
are traveling. A Moultrie girl found on arriv
al home from a summer vacation trip that her
trunk had been broken into and all the dainty
feminine belongings roughly and carelessly han
dled. She had a bottle of mouthwash in her
runk and it is supposed that some vigilant sleuth
heard it slosh and proceeded to go through the
baggage.

more liberal or accomddating banks in the South
