Co-Operative Road Building.
We quote below an interesting
little item from a recent issue of
the Conyers Free Press.
‘‘The following is from the min
utes of the county eommissisners
at their meeting Tut sday;
“Proposition of citizens along
Oak iliil or Air Line road offering
to give the county 167 days work
with teams and drivers to work
the Airline road to the county j
line carried over to the July meet
ing in order that the rest of the
county may compete, and as the
commissioners desire to encourage
this kind of co-operaticn,,it is now ;
up to the community that offers I
more inducement, with the under
standing, of course, that right of
way for any and all changes be
given.
“So if you want to help your
district to get valuable graded
roads get busy and come forward
with your best offers.”
In a later issue of the same pa
per we are informed that the Oak
Hill and Air Line road has won
and has had its proposition ac
cepted by the county
oners.
It seems to us that this news ar
ticle is worthy of study by the
people of our county, and even
contains some valuable sugges
tions to us for the improvement
of our own road system.
We have always commended
the work of our Ordinary in the
fine work done on our roads dar
ing his aTu nis ration, and we
see hi n still continuing in the
good work.
Permanent road improvement,
however, is very siow work, with
the men and means at oar com
mand and so some people in those
sections of our county not yet
touched by this permanent work
have grown impatient and have
complained that thha roads in
tneir sections have not received
i '
attention.
The Rockdale county people’s
proposition to furnish aid and co
operate with the county in build
ing a road furnishes a fine sugges
tion to our people who wish good
roads without further delay.
While this particular application
of the idea of co-operation is
probably new. the idea itself is
not new. Our own law intends by
its provisions that the citizens of
each district shall work the roads
of their district, or Co-operate
with the road working force in
doing so.
With the placing upon our roads
of the convicts, the law has begin
to be little regarded and poorly
observed.
Then the co-operative plan for
the state has been adopted by
New York state.
New York’s legislature a year
or two ago adopted an excellent
public road law. A state highway
Commissioner has supervision of
all the road building in the state.
Fifty million dollars was appro
priated, to be expended in such
counties as would themselves fur
nish a certain proportionate part
of the expense and labor for the
work in such counties.
Really the conduct of our gov
ernment, in its every branch, is
co-operative. Without the co-op
eration of its citizens in the en
forcement, by public sentiment
and otherwise, and the adminis
tration of the laws by which gov
ernment is operated, our nation
would fall to pieces.
Then why not voluntary co-op
eration in road building?
The people along one road can
give many days work for such
purpose and never miss the time
so given, but receive returns many
fold in the benefits derived from
superior roads built earlier per
haps by years, than they could
otherwise be obtained.
Let our citizens in different sec
tions think of this and begin to
make bids to our Ordinary similar
to those of the Rockdale County
citizens.
Singing Convention at Bethany.
As previously announced by
your Bethany correspondent, the
first session of the Henry County
Singing Convention will meet at
Bethany church, four miles east
of McDonough, Friday and Satur
day, before the second Sunday in
September. It is not necessary to
to say that it has a good home for
the first session, for when it comes
to entertaining a Singing Conven
tion Bethany is there “with the
goods” and those fail to attend
will miss something grand.
There will be some of the best
singers in the State present. Now
I want every church in the county
at their next Conference to send
three or four delegates, select
those that will come. Lets have
the best singing convention in the
state and have it right at the start.
I am requested to announce that
Evangelist B. G. Smith will preach
I a series of sermons in the pro
tracted meeting at Sharon church,
beginning next Sunday, August
7th, assisted by the pastor, Rev.
I. G. Walker, to run one and prob
ably two week ?.
A cordi il invitation is given to
all friends in the community and
sister churches in the county —
especially singers.

W. i. Speer Continues to Receive l
Strong Endorsements for Re-
Election to Office of Treasurer
Perhaps no man seeking office j
was ever given more unanimous j
support from the Press of the State
than is being accorded Hon, W. J.
Speer, who is asking the voters of
Georgia to put him in charge of
affairs at the State Treasurer’s
office.
This gentleman served the State
in this capacity for twenty years
to the complete and entire satis
faction to all,
If the Press of Georgia is really
powerful, indications are that Mr.
Speer will be returned to the office j
of State Treasurer, for from every
section of the State comes Press
endorsements and commendations
Here are a few of the many |
comments gleaned from Georgia
papers.
From Clinch County News:
Hon. W. J. Speer, candidate for
State Treasurer, enjoys looking
back upon a clean, spotless and
uncriticised twenty year record in
public office, which to us is the
strongest, most forceful argument
that can be brought to bear touch
ing his competency and his wor
thiness. We are as willing for
him to serve us now as we were
when, he, as a Confederate sol
dier, took up his gun, went to the
front, and bared his breast to the
enemy, in defense of our property
and our homes.
From Cleveland Courier:
Mr. W. J. Speer, candidate for
State Treasurer. He filled the of
fice for many years, and if an ex
cellent record in the discharge of
official duties is what the people
waut in official, then this old Con
federate Veteran most assuredly
merits your ballot.
From the Lumpkin Independent;
Hon. W. J. Speer has large ex
perience in the administration of
the office of the State Treasurer,
and has proven himself a capable, j
vigilant and efficent custodian of;
the State’s resources, and the peo- 1
pie of Gecrgia could do no better
than to elect him to the position
again.
