“Spread” herself!
McDonough was never on a
more substantial business boom
than now.
Are yon hon \stly endeavoring to
do the best you can for the up

abonds. Watch old Henry grow
Come to think about it—Hadn't
yon better do a little thinking now
and then for yourself? Its not al
ways that other people’s rules fit
your case.
It- is plain to s »i, even the • ‘chro

is getting on a new dress and is in
the front, van for real live progress

The Compulsory
Education Bill
The Georgia Legislature should
not adopt, without amendment,
the bill which compuls parents,
guardians and trustees to send
children to school lfi weeks a year.
Some prevision should be made
for cases where the parents are
too poor to pay the tribute of the
School-book Trust. To make a
criminal out of a man because he
is poor, is to take a long step back
ward.
Is there not a single member of
the Legislature who hug the big
ness of heart and moral courage to
make the fight against the villain
ous School-book Trusts? Would
it. be too revolutionary, unconsti
tutional, paternalistic, demagogic,
etc., to stand for the principle that
the State should furnish text books
as well as teachers, —Tools as well
as workmen?
Then again, if a parent is unable
to keep paid the incidental dues,
imposed by teachers and school
boards, and thus has his children
thrown out of school, he should
not he punished.
The members of the Legislature
ought to know enough about pov
erty to deter them from penaliz
ing it. If attendance upon the
free schools is to be made compel
sory, make the schools free. The
inability to pay the various dues
and bnv the necessary books, ac
counts for a considerable amount
of illiteracy in Georgia,—and per
haps other states.
Be just, gentlemen, be just. Be
fore making it a crime fora parent
to fail to send his child to school,
remove the obstacles that are in
his way, as far as possible.
I was a school teacher myself
and know the hardships of the pro
fession, lut I think that there is
much to be said, just now, in be
half of the children Let ns hope
that the Legislature will deal fair
ly by all parties.—Jeffersonian.
Road Engineers Indispen
sable in Georgia
“l util the counties in Georgia
employ qualified road engine* rs
tor the purpose of highwav con
struction, much of the large sums
now being spent in the mainten
ance of road building convicts will
be largely wasted investments.”
“I wish yon and your great p: -
per would stress the importance ut
the county road commissioners en
gaging the services of competen’
road builders It is a waste ot
rime and money, and will briny
this good work into disrepute, un
less the roads are built by men
who know the business.”
In tnis emphatic terms two pro
ininent business men of Georgia.
R D Cole, of Nevvnan, and W. is.
YVifcham, of Atlanta, both well
known for their practical ability
and insight all over the state, in
dict the present slipshod and un
s stematic manner of road-impro
vement in Georgia. The detaihd
' lews of each of these gentlemen
are published elsewhere.
As if in direct answer to their
serious statements, comt s the ex
ample of Macon county, as related
in Tile Constitution.
Mac mccnuty has abandoned the
praotico of building roads by guess
work and antiquated method
To begin with, her co n nission
ers have retained a throughly
qualified road bJilding engineer,
and he is in absolute charge of tin
plans and exoution of highway
construction in the county.
Following his advice, roads are
beinge very where construe ted upon
r‘>e reasoning that it is esiser t:
build good highways, than to ft it.
ter away energy and time ami
u >mv or repairing inferior ones
So fch it Macon county is building
‘for keeps”
P r nane itnot natch woi k,methods
characterized the manner in which
he has taken ni> the road improve
milt crusade. It is not as a mat
ter of impulse or pastime for a day
■bat the officials who are spending
■lie money of the people view theii
problem.
In many instances the coramis
sioners have authorized their road
engineers toentirely relocate roads
rather than waste efforts on old
ones hopelessly afflicted with grad
es and roundabout courses.
They have laid down the princi
ple t hat no higlnvav shall have a
driving surface of less than 22 feet
and that 5 per cent shall be the
maxinm grade.
Macon county has also made it a
fixed custom to take good care of
her road-building convicts since
it is upon their healthy and effici
ency that snccess in road making
depends.
They are provided with ample
and sanitary quarters, and they
w irk under conditions of hours
and diet best calculated to secure
lasting and satisfactory results
The county has likewise shewn
penetrations in the respect of co
operation and method in laying
out routes. A line is now’ being
built straight through the county
to the Houston county line on one
side and the Sumpter county line
on the other. Overtures have
been made to the officials of these
counties, and it is propable that co
operative measures whereby direct
roads through these various coun
ties will soon he a thing of actual
accomplishment.
So thoroughly aroused are the
citizens of Macon over the results
obtained, that they are volunteei
intr further financial assistance to
commissioner Ore wide-awake
farmer has declared that his land
has been so enhanced in value by
the improved roadway traversing
it, that he will volnntarily in-
crease his tax returns $2 per acre.
Wlmt Macon county lias accomp
lished and is accomplishing and
planning, is possible to any other
county in Georgia.
Certain it is. that no sustained
or practical results in road build
ing can I e expected unless the re
spective counties, singly or jointly
employ competent road-building
engineers.
As Mr. Cole declares, road-build -
ing has now b* come a scierce, a
regular profession. To prosecute
it upon any assumption, is
to endanger dividends from the
vast sums and the great labor now
being expended noon the highways
ofthe state. At lanta Constitution
