"EXPENSE. |
Washington, D. C. Jan. 24.—The de
mand for good roads is not confined
to the rural districts, but on the other
hand good roads are eagerly sought
by cities throughout the country, Rep
resentative Edwards declared in a
speech in the House today, support
in the Shackleford roads bill. The
in the Shackleford roads bill. Rep
cities are glad to bear the greater
portion of good roads expenses in or
der that they may be brought more
closely in touch with the rural dis
tricts at whose expense they have
been built up, he said.
“In many sections of the country
there are small counties, with limited
population and with limited means,
which are not able to improve and
maintain their roads,” said Mr. Ed
wards, “and yet there can be no sys
tem of good roads until they are
!linked and connected from one coun
lty to another; nor can the farmers or
people gemerally get the best use out
of the roads unti Ithe highways of the
country are constructed for use of the
farmers, and they are good roads, they
may be used for any and every other
purpose; while on the other hand; if
they are constructed for automobiles
and are good roads it naturally follows
that the farmers will get the use of
them for their various purposes.
What the people want are good roads
for all purposes, and they want them
as this bill fixes it, under state control.

THE ROAD TO TELFAIR COUN

DORSED BY THEM.
The retail merchants of the city
termet at the Carnegic Hall Tuesday
evening to discuss problems of “bat
ter store keeping” and to otherwise
omote the intercsts of the city and
the people. R:! A. Maffitt was elected
chairman with J. C. Glover, secretary.
Mr. W. R. Bcwen outlined several
much nceded local improvenments
and especially stressed the nccessity
of extending the river through the
Old Field landing, to reach out for
the Telfair county trade, which lies
so close to our doors and is begging
for away to reach the Magic city of

“Trade at Home resolution ard an
endorsement of the extension of the
extension of the “good roads” build

meeting.
On motion of Mr. McCarty a com
mittee will appear before the next
meeting of the county commissioners
with a petition outlining the pro
posed extension work. Messrs. Maf
fitt, Murphy and C. L. Sanders have
the matter of advertising in charge
and will make a complete report to
the next meeting of the association.

from the meeting.

one of the most brilliant collection
of musicians the American platform
ever offered. The company was or

highest grade music, rendered in a
manner which will appeal to the mix

tist of unusual merit.
This is a very unusual company.
Aside from the superb music it offers,
the manner in which it is rendered is
worthy of note. The company is
elaborately costumed in the pictu
resque atire of the period of Louis XV
creating an efect to the eye that can
not but be appreciated by an exacting
audience. The stage fittings and light
effects are espcjally pleasing, and their
ensemble work is particularly strong.
