While Boys, Starting Hoboes’' Career,
Lund in Trouble—Three Sent to
Reformatory
Judge Eve went over to Ashburn Mon
day morning where he convened a spe
cial term of Turner Superior Court for
the puri>ose of hearing picas of guilty
from four white boys charged with misde
meanors. All four had been tramping
hloug the railroad when they*got into
trouble,,
One was tried at the regular term of
Superior Court on a charge of burglary
nnd acquitted. He was indicted by the
Grand Jury fo r stealing a ride on a
train and to this he plead guilty. Judge
Eve sent him to the State Reformatory.
The other three boys plead guilty to
holding up a negro man and robbing him
of $&50 in cash and a watch. This was
at the time of the freight train wreck
near Inalia, on the Georgia Southern and
Florida, about two weeks ago. The wreck
blocked the track and held up the pass
enger train ou which the negro was rid
ing. The theory was advanced at one
time that the boys wrecked the freight
for the purpose of robbing pussengerg on
the truin following but there was little
or nothing to support this . It was
thought that the hoys were hoboing ou
the train.
Judge Eve sent two of the boys to the
State Reformatory and allowed the other
to pay a fine. This boy was the son of
Mr. Aiken of Lee county, who thought
his son was visiting relatives at their
old home at Rockmart until he got »
letter saying he was in Turner county
jail. He promised to start a little re
formatory of his
New Orleans, and bad hoboed all through
the Southeast. Another said he was
from Kentucky, but the fourth declined
to give his home. 'A
county has or will'be adopted and approv
ed as links of the[ State Highway system
to be hereafter built or taken over and
paid for by the state.
b. As to what’policy will be pursued
by the state highway commission, In the
matter of refunding to the aeveraLbfun-
ties the cost of roads now under consmic-
tlon, or to he at once begun, constructed
or to bo constructed partly by Federal aid
funds, hut which! may later be adopted as
a part of the at*. system of roads.
c. As to whether or not thj» State
Highway Commission can at this time,
or some early date, make such contract
as is contemplated by the late act of
the legislature creating said Commission,
with counties now in funds and ready to
proceed with their road construction, for
immediate construction of roads approved
by uml under the supervision of the Com
mission, and for refund of the cost there-' "Wliip it to Tifton.
completed or at Borne early date
thereafter.
d. As to the width, tpaterial and gene
ral character of roads which will be gene
rally adopted'or approved by the Commis
sion us Q part of the state system.
As to whether or not, -on roads al
ready adopted and approved .as a project
to be constructed partly from Federal aid
allowances, which such projects may like
wise he adopted and approved as part of o
state highway, it Is now practicable or
ermissable upon proper application to the
Highway* Commission representing the
Federal nid, to change such Fgderal aid
project to other roads of the' several coun
ties which will not form parts of the state
system.
Whereupon motion was made and
adopted that the* Chair appoint from the
body present a Committee to be composed
of one member from each county represe n
ted at the meeting, to appear before the
State Highway Commission to be held on
Friday the 2Ctli, and present to the
Commission the several questions above
outlined for discussion, pod for such
information thereon as the Commission
ight then be able to impart.
Upon further motion duly carried, the
Chair then appointed a subcommittee

Farmer and by amendment to the motion
the Chair as spokesman for the original
committee as a whole to formulate and

ft appearing throughout discussion at
this meeting, that the ultimate success
and accomplishment of the proposed road
construction by the state, contemplated
by the legislature at the time and in its
passage of the late act creating the present
Highway Ohmmission, depends mainly if
not entirely upon the later passage and
ratification of the contemplated consti

road bond issue, as a part of tha general
plan and only practical means of state

Resolved that this organization does
endorse, and will actively support and
urge the passage by the next legislature,
of pending bills, or some such further
practical legislation as will enable the
-tate to carry through and complete at
the earliest possible date the general plan
of state road construction now contem
plated and entered upon.
Be it further resolved, that this organ!

H. S. Murray, Acting Secretary.
Mr. Editor: It seems that our County
Commissioners as welUfi the citizens of
the county generally, have an unexpected
problem to deal with, which has been im
posed by the State Engineer and the
Government Engineer if we ar c to re
ive government aid or state aid in our
ad paving projects.
My interest in this inattA- is general.
•*nly that of any other taxpayer in the
county. But if we are not going to he
able tn-pnve the present roadbed of the
National Highway as was contemplated
by practically every voter who supported
the bond issue, and are compelled to make
costly changes in supposedly the uio
permanent road in the county in order I
get government aid and state aid. tl
first question to he determined is whethi
,v c want government and state aid undi
•uch conditions?
If it is decided that we shall accept
aid under siirh conditions, I think tin
suggestions of R. K. Hinsniore in Wed
nesday's Gazette are sound and should
be carefully weighed. From my present
information. I endorse said article fully.
The people will n*»t he satisfied to cut out
lower crossings on the Highway and
» the oil mill crossing, really the
most dangerous crossing o n the road,
nnd not now as dungerous as it will he
when more improvements are made at
that poiut.
must not let personalities euter
into this matter. If the crossing problem
has to be solved let’s solve it correctly,
