Ti-vj way farer coming to a junction of roalu aad to use his sense of intuition. If he had any, as to which one to take. Sometimes he took tl>e rlg~t one and somctlanes he abused the county for not labeling its highways. But this unsath'factony condition i» gradually passing .away. Not rapidly, but surely. . Already some of the more Import ant cross Toad points have substantial 1 Mists at the corner wltt' arms reach ing out bealrng the guiding notice “To Plains.” or "To Smithvilee," or "To Ellaville,” as the case may be. Tills Is in keeping with trie Georgia law on the subject-which says: “Overseers s-'all measure all that part of the roads to which they may be appointed, beginning at the court- bouse, and at the end of each mile shall cot up a past or a mark In some conspicuous place wl.ic;' shall desig nate the number of miles from thenoe to the courthottae. “They Shall at the fork of each public road* place la some substan tial and conspicuous manner, a board or other mark designating ^hereon the mo3t public place to which each road directs, and If any road is altered so as to make the fork at some oth place, or as not to make necessary sign boards, they shall 'he removed.' When the duties of road overseers have fallen on the shoulders of county “Commissioners of Roads and Reve nues,’’ as In Sumter, this duty of mark ing the public highways Is obligato - y upon them. We recognize our duty In this re spect,” said Chairman Sheffield yes terday, “and we hqve begun to meet I!. By degrees we will erect suhstantl ll sign posts at all the leading cross roads, and eventually every cross ro.vl point In Sumter county will bo prop erly marked. Tils is in keeping iwUlt the county's general progressive po'• Icy. With good roads there comes In creased travel and Increased travel makes It more than ever necessary to safeguard public Interests by mark ing the highways In this manner. Sumter will not lag behind sister counties In-ttte important forward step. The law has been largely dead letter all over Georgia In the past, but It will not be such in this county at least hereafter.” and danger when the little one comes.

BRADFXBLD REGULATOR 00., Atlanta, Ga. camps be prolonged by the-admission into them a3 honorary members, of the sans of veterans. Fortf-flve years have passed since the war closed and the Inevitable dis solution of the camp3 cannot Ihe de ferred many years unless some suc.J policy as this Is pursued. Each year finds a considerable decrease In the membership of the camps. Sumter camp In the past year or two has lout some of Its most enthusiastic mem bers. Death Is making heavy inroads on the membership and the roll call Is getting pitifully smaller every twelve months. It Is felt that It Is not well that the camps should be dissolved in this way within the next few years. Those who survive another five or ten years will, In the course of nature, be very old and decrepit men, unable to keop up meetings, unable, except In rare instances, to attend re-unions. 'It is their earnest desire that the' camp fires be kept lighted, that the precious memories and records of each camp be protected and preserved, and the only solution of this. It Is pointed out, lies In the admission of the sons of vets as honorary < members, to take up the work'and carry on the camps at least for several decades to pome. The proposition seems to be meet ing with an erfiliuslastio favor. At the next general gathering of the vets of the South the organic law of the association may be altered so as to permit of this. If this is done Sum ter camp 'will not pass into a matter of memory, but will ho kept alive by the sons of the present members and those who have passed away.

Illustrating the prosperity of South west Georgia in the iye:irs of thirteen fourteen and fifteen cents cotton, comes this story from one of the towns in this section of the state. A tall and lanky farmer saunte ed into one of the village banks and stood resting his elbows on the shelf at the cashier’s'.’window. "Well, Sam,” said the cashier, what can we do for you—If you need taw hundred dollars I guess we'll try and .let you havo It—eight pi cent.” “No, Bill; I don’t want any money. "Well—?” Scm glanced furtively about t.ie bank, leinc-J over and said In a low voice: “Fact is, Bill. I’ve been keeping ni/ money an n-d the house and I've got a leetlo more than 'I want :o keep there." , Sam seemed .bashful; the words wouldn't come. ‘Well—?” said the cashier. Well, ti» fact Is Bill, I’ve got here in this pockelbook a leetlo over $8,- 000. And—and—and—I jest thought I'd call here and auk you folks what you’d charge me to take care of It for me?” ' Then Sam drew from his pocket an ancient pocketbook and counted out the bills—the -proceeds of two cotton crops.
