stands charged.

May, 1910. Joseph M. Brown,
By the Governor. Governor.

FOR GOOD ROADS IN GEORGIA
LET US PULL.
With but few or no exceptions
every county in Georgia is put
ting forth some effort in behalf of
good roads. All are not using the
same methods and means, but the j
ultimate result will be a perfected
system of roadways in years to i
come. The Savannah News, us
ing Bulloch county as a subject,
has the following comment in fa
vor of good roads:
There are few counties in the i
state as progressive as Bulloch
county. That this is so is shown
by the sentiment in favor of good
roads which prevails Jhere. In
our dispatches yesterday it was
stated that the County Commis
sioners were seriously considering
the advisability of taking the
necessary steps to have bonds is
sued to the amount of .SIOO,OOO
for the construction of roads.
At present, the county has very
good roads —that is, many of her
roads have been hardened and the
other roads are in a tolerably fair
condition. What is wanted, how
ever, is that all the roads shall be
put in first-class condition, and it
is assumed that the foregoing
amount will be sufficient for that
purpose.
We don’t know- whether or not
the people would vote bonds to
the amount of SIOO,OOO for road
building, but we are of the opin
ion they would, simply because
they regard good roads from a
business point ol' view. Their ex
perience teaches them that, money
wisely and economically spent on
roads is a good investment. All :
of the people are benefited. Some
get their benefit in one way and
some in another. One man has a
motor car or a carriage and pair
of fine horses and another has
products which he wants to get
to market at the least possible
cost. It is evident that there is
but little satisfaction m a motor
car where the roads are bail and j
that bad roads greatly increase
the cost of hauling commodities
to or from market.
Bonds to the amount of SIOO,-
000 would put an annual charge j
on the county of about *5.000.
Divided among all the people in
proportion to their wealth that
would be an almost inappreciable
burden. But the burden would
be nothing at. all in comparison
with the benefits, pecuniary and
otherw'se, that would come from
good roads.
We don’t know whether or not
tfie proposition to issue bonds
w ill be submitted to the taxpayers,
but if it should be they ought to i
give it very careful consideration
and deal with it wholly from a
business point of view. If they j
become satisfied thar it would pay
them to issue bonds they should
have no hesitation in authorizing
them.

TWO STATES MAKE
SPLENDID PROGRESS
The Georgia and Alabama In
dustrial Index published at Co
lumbus, Ga., says m its regular
1 weekly issue:
“The story of Georgia-Alabnma
! for the past week fairly bristles
! with good business news. The
two states are making substantial
progress along all lines and this
fact is illustrated in a great many
; interesting and striking ways.
“At Atlanta, Ga., contracts
were awarded for $100,(KX) of sew
er construction work. The city
engineer at Birmingham, Alu.,
has just completed plans for a
SBOO,OOO drainage system for one
section of that city and bids will
be invited. At Lyons, Ga., near
ly the entire population assembl
ed to see an officer of the Wriglits
ville, Adrian & Lyons Railway
throw the first shovel full <»f dirt
in the const ruction of the new
road, and in their enthusiasm va
rious prominent citizens seized
shovels and contributed a little
free labor toward the enterprise,
“The spirit of progress seems
to have even invaded the realm of
poesy and classics, if one were to
judge solely by the name, for an
Alabama, county, Baldwin, invi
ted and received bids to build a
steel bridge across the river Styx.
“Dalton, Go., voted 125,000 of
j improvement bonds. Sparta, Ga..
Cairo, Ga., Donalsonville, Ga.
and Warrentou, Ga., also voted
bonds. Butler county, Alabama,
will vote on $1(15,000 of bonds for
I road construction, Gwinett, Geor
i gia, will also vote on good road
i bonds, and Tift county, Georgia
has called an election on the is
suance of $55,000 of bonds for the
erection of a new' courthouse. A
company is being organized at La- j
Grange, (fa., to build a $50,(M0
auditoruin.”
HORSE KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
I During a heavy thunder storm
last Sunday afternoon Rev. 1,. 1,.
Barr and wife, of Glennville, were
jon their way to visit relatives in
Toombs county, they stopped at
a vacant house near Shepard’s
Bridge, to get, out of the storm
and hitched the hows to a wire
fence. Mr. Barr had just gone
into the house and was standing on
the porch, about fifteen feet from
the horses, when there was a
blinding Hash of lightning and
the horses fell as if shot, one of
them, however, was able to get
up ui a few minutes the other was
killed instantly.
The only mark on the buggy
was a spoke knocked out of each
of three wheels.
| Mr. Barr secured a horse from
some one living near by and hitch
ed it with the horse that had been
knocked down and drove to R«idß
jviile.—Tattnall Journal, |
