COVINGTON, GA., APRIL 24, 1924
Cepious April showers have
delayed farmers in this section
of country.
On©.,of the headlines The
News keeps standing is “Killed
at the Crossing.”
It looks like eight-hundred
dollars reward should bring the
murderers of A. Spence Wil
liams.
There was a barrel of fun at
the McAdoo convention in At
yesterday, > "nothing
lanta but
else on tap.
Daugherty is hit another
blow by the committee charg
ing him with failure to prose
cute the trusts.
A farmer in an adjoining
county says he hopes to make
about fifty gallons of fluid corn
to the acre this year.
Easter Sunday was a perfect
day and as a result the ladies
with new bonnets were as
happy as the day was long.
Georgia solons are preparing
to spend their summer vacation
the capitol city, dating from
the Third Wednesday in June.
Mayor Hopkins clean-up cam
paign proved to be a humdinger
and as a result Covington is
one of Georgia’s spotless towns.
Candidates for the legislature
and Senate who will not pledge
themselves to vote for biennial
sessions, should be left at home.
When the city paves around
city park, ’pedple passing
through Covington will be
favorably impressed with our
progressiveness.
Lucius Mallery, the Houston
county negro, who claims to be
legally dead, who was to have
been hanged today, has been
granted a stay of execution by
the state supreme court.
The song birds in Georgia’s
Capitol City this week have
drawn record breaking crowds,
and a man who couldn’t tell a
piano from an organ, if he had
on a fish and soup suit, was con
sidered among the high brows.
Secretary Paul Walker, of
Ihe Newton County Trade
Board, is allready actively at
work and getting things in
shape for a vigorous campaign
which will redound to the good
of Newton County and all her
people.
The first Tuesday in next
month will decide whether or
not Newton county is to have
that six miles of paved road on
the Atlanta Covington High
way. We certainly cannot af
ford to pass up this opportuni
ty.
If McAdoo is as enthusiasti
cally endorsed by the New York
convention as he was by Geor
gia Democrats in Atlanta yes
terday he will exceed the speed
limit in his race for president
against Coolidge. So mote it
be.
Newton is certainly fortun
ate in having two such capable
representatives as G. W. Robin
son, county agent, and Miss
Mary Norman county demon
strator. They are both tireless
workers in the field of co-opera
lion and diversifiaaftio*.
— - - -
\\ iscOllsin- will muddy the 1
water in the presidential race
this fall.
Atlanta has more fatalities
from speedy and reckless auto
mobile drivers than any city
twice its size should have. The
laws are lax or the officers who
are supposed to enforce them
are negligent. People living out
side of Atlanta are getting dubi
ous about visiting the old town,
afraid they will come back home
with a lilly in their hand and
wearing a wooden overcoat.
The paying of the bonus will
be the biggest job Uncle Sam
has undertaken since the world
war. There are approximately
four and a half million veterans
who will receive compensation,
or whose families wiH receive
compensation under the bill.
The amount of money required
to pay the bonus bill in twenty
years varies in estimates from
two to four billion dollars.
The Jingo Journals of Japan
are urging their folk to get
ready for war because the Japs
have been shut out from this
country. Japan may be made
up of all kinds of fools, but
surely there are a sufficient
number of sensible men to keep
them out of war where they
would have no more chance of
winning than a snowball would
in surviving the rays of the
noonday sun in the desert of
Sahara.
How Good Roads
Pay For Themselves
Statistics of repairs, gasoline and oil
consumption, depreciation^ and loads
hauled, demonstrate that the average
difference in cost in running a car or
truck over good hard roads and poor
is approximately 5 cents per mile.
The average mileage of all cars and
trucks in this country exceeds 6,0ft«
yearly.
There are 14,900,900 cars and trucks
running in the United State*.
A simple multiplication proves that,
if all ihe roads in the United States
were poor roads, making them all into
good roads would save more than five
times as much as is spent annually in
this nation for good roads.
Of course, all the roads are. not poor
roads, and ainre than 80 per cent of the
travel of our vehicles is over the good
roads and not pqpr ones. But if we had
good roads vehicles would travel over
them. Vehicles are now forced from
the many poor to the few good road
mites in order to avoid loss of time and
(lie tremendous cost of travel over poor
roads.

APPRECIATION
We are all fellow travelers on the
journey of life. It is a hard journey at
the best and why should we try to re
press our feeling and keep hack words
of appreciation when we know how
much good they would do these who are
serving for us 7 The help in our'
kitchens, the employes in our office, the
friends in our hearts would all be bet
ter ofT if we would but give to them
more of the words of praise and appre
ciation that we feel but fail to express.
Remember, there comes a time when
it does no good to rnurrner kindly en
couragement. The heart that would
once respond with eagerness to the
note of love will lie cold and motionless
beneath the frame that broke down trv
ins to bear life's burden's alone, with
never a helping hand or geuial smile to
cheer the way. • Remember this when
next you feel inclined to express the
words that are worth far more than you
can estimate.—Catoosa County Record.
Any individual, asking himself
whether his share of a new road tax
wilt pay him, has only to figure the
number of miles he will travel in a year
over the good road and see what he,
personally, will save. This compu
tation. of course, leaves out of calcula
tion any such fac tors as the saving he
makes by the lowering of prices of
goods he buys which travel the good
l oad, and any increase In his assets due
to increase of land values on the good
road, and any increase in earning capa
city due to the time saved on good roads.

BUSINESS METHODS
MUST BE APPLIED
The time has come when the farmer
must be a business man to be success
ful. The Rian to leaving things to fate
has about played out. He must real
more and think more; learn to make his
lands more productive; know the cost of
raising crops and stock so that he can
tell when he is making or losing money,
and study the markets so that he rnav
supply those things for which there is a
demand. Co-operative marketing will
help—legislation may sometimes afford
relief from certain ills—but the work of
readjusting inequalities about which
there is so much complaint must begin
at home-—on the farm.—Farming.

Building for Growth
T ONG in advance of actual work telephone construct::*
jL/ must be foreseen, engineered and financed.
Many men and many machines, unseen by you, are workati.
to provide you and your neighbor* with adequate service.
If you had magic eyes, you could see, all over America,
thousands of towns where work is in progress. Every working
day the Bell System's bill for new construction is over three
quarters of a million dollars.
All of this new construction benefits you. Every extension
of telephone facilities, anywhere, increases the value of tele
phone service everywhere.
Every dollar’s worth of new Bell System construction en
ables each community better to work out its own destiny and
knits it and other comiJiuoitiaa more closely together into
a national commonwealth of speech.
