ROAD ADVOCATES
'HOLD MEETINGS
Interest Growing in Bond
Issue for Roads of
Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga. f Aprif 19. — Sup
porters of the $75,000,000 road
bond issue are enthusiastic this
week over reports coming into
headquarters from counties
which held mass meetings last
week in the interest of the road
bonds.
In the past ten days good roads
advocates have held mass meet
ings in Eastman, Oglethorpe,
Cuthbert, Gray, Metter, Lump
kin and Dalton, at each of which
enthusiastic endorsement of the
bond campaign was given and
plans laid for perfecting county
organizations so as to get the
bond issue before the people
throughout the counties who had
not attended the mass meetings.
At Dalton eighteen North
Georgia counties represent
ed by their county commissioners,
and each county pledged its sup
port to the bond issue.
North Georgia is particularly
enthusiastic over the bond plan
of completing the state highway
system, for this section of the
state suffers more, probably, as
a result of impassible roads than
does the lower sections of the
state. Citizens of this section
contend that when the state sys
tem is completed, the mountains
of North Georgia will become as
popular summer resorts as are
the mountains of North Carolina;
therefore, instead of regarding
the proposed bond issue as a pos
sible burden upon the people,
they consider it the wisest sort
of an investment and they are
working hard to see that it goes
through. i- >
Two Men Are Shot in
Jeff Davis County.
Hazlehurst, Ga., April 17. —As
the result of a shooting affray
five miles from here yesterday
morning, Floyd Whitfield, said to
be dying, and Cliff McCormick
are in a local sanitarium and W.
H. Harrel is in the county jail.
The shooting, officers said from
information they could learn,
took place at the home of Harrell,
where the men are said to have
been listening to a phonograph.
The officers were unable to learn
the motive.
Harrel and McCormick, it is
said, had a fight and as McCor
mick was leaving the house, Har
rell is alleged to have come to
the door and started shooting at
him. Whitfield was walking be
side McCormick and was shot
in the head, but was not serious
ly wounded.
Harrell in his cell today refus
ed to make a statement.
Drowned in Satilla.
Waycross, Ga., April 18.—D.
L. Keen, of this city, was drown
ed in the Satilla River near Folks
ton early yesterday morning.
Keen, with a party of friends,
was on a fishing trip at the time,
and had volunteered to swim|the
river to secure a boat tied on the
opposite side. It was several
minutes before he was missed,
and there was no eye witness to
the tragedy. A search was con
ducted for the body, but it was
over an hour before it was dis
covered in shallow water near the
opposite shore.
The deceased was 42 years of
age, and is survived by his father,
W. D. Keen of Dublin, his wife
and five brothers, W. A., of Dub
lin, J. H., of Marianna, Fla.; Y.
C., of Wichita Falls, Tex.; L. M.
of Graceville, Fla., and T. D. of
Dublin. Mr. Keen is well known
in this city, having made his
home here for several years.
