CANNOTOSETHE CONVICTS
In Laving off and Cutting
Out New Public Roads.
Supreme Court Decision Says
Those Living Along Line ol
Proposed Road Must Do the
Work.
In view of the fact there are fre
quent petitions to the commission
ers of roads and revenues to es
tablish new public roads in t!ie
county a recent discovery that
money collected as commutation
tax or as advaloreum tax cannot be
used for the purpose of opening a
new road is of local interest,
It is stated that under the law as
construed by a supreme court de
cision the road must be laid off by
the road hands subject to road duty
along the line of the proposed road
and turned over to the county. After
that the county can improve the
road as other roads are improved.
In creating the new road law, says
the supreme court, the old law was
not repealed as a hold. Only parts
of the law were superceded by the
new load kyv.
The decision .«£ the .court will
have the effect of stopping the cut
ting of new roads -by the convict
force. The commissioners may
continue to grant**hew roads, but
tlie people living along the line will
have to do all of the work without
the expense to the county.
As there are not many people
who will be willing to do the work
necessary to cut out and lay off a
new road it is expected that the de
cision will have the effect of putting
a stop to creation of new roads.

Patronizing Blind Tigers.
Judge Felton, in the superior
court of Bibb county, passing sen
tence on a negro who had been con
victed on the. testimony of three
hite men of selling whiskey, stated
that the man who buys . whiskey is
practically as guilty as the man who
sells it, for if there were no buyers
no blind tigers would exist. The
Albany Herald, endorses what Judge
Felton said but adds:
“When a man buys whiskey from
mother who is violating the law by
oiling it to him it is mutually ijn-
be a secret and confidental trans-
ction, and if there is such a thing
“honor among thieves” the
hirsty fellow who upon his own
notion becomes a party to. an act
/hick constitutes a flagrant violation
f the law, and thereby gets his
hirst quenched, must be, a sorry
pecimen to “giveaway” the, one
ith whom lie made tlje deal. It’s
ke M kissing and telling ”
Judge Felton and the Herald are
th right, so what is to be done
out it? Why not pass a law ruak-
g it a crime to buy whiskey from
11 illegal dealer as well as a crime
sell it? There could be no regkm-
>le objection on the part of the law

WHITES EAT WEEVIL
Will be Argument lor More Strin
gent Laws Protecting the Birds.
State Entomologist Worsham,
when asked if the quail would de
stroy the boll weevil, stated that it
would not eat them at first, but had
finally come to like and destroy
great quantities of them. This i<
one of the arguments some of the
lawmakers will put forward this
summer for stringent laws to protect
the quail from further slaughter for
a period of years. Field larks and
orioles will also eat the Weevil.
A Good Habit to Drop.
This from the Newnan Herald
and Advertiser is'sound sense, and
is just as applicable to Cairo as it is
that town:
If you have the catalogue habit
drop it. You live in this town, and
should help boost it. Every time
you send off an order you hurt your
town. Spend all the money possible
in your town. The merchants are
progressive and wide-awake. They
will do more for you in a day than
the catalogue houses will in a year.
They’ll grant you twenty times as
many-favors and courtesies. Spend
your money at home. *
