A Good Solution of Good Roads
Problem.
A Prominent Citizen Gives His Views
of How to Best Solve the Good
Roads Problem.
To the Editor:
There hue been u good deal writ
ten and said about the public
roads of Toombs county, and in
fact, the United States, pro and
con. If you will allow me space,
as I have not written or said much
about it. I will, in a feeble way,
give a plan I think will work out
the bad roads in our county and
hurt no one. Hold on Mr. Chron
ic Kicker, until you have read
what I propose.
In this firßt place for Culpepper
to push forward the work as best
he can, and all the moneyed men
in the county lend from .$lO to
$1 000 any amount that they may
bo able to spare for the space of 1
to 5 years at 7 per cent interest,
and through the Ordinary or some
one in authority, pay it oil'in his
state and county taxes until it is
fully paid with interest.
By the method we will be able
to carry on the good work. There
is plenty of money in circulation,
or will be this fall, and that is
better than to let the banks have
it at 1 and 5 per cent. Now under
stand me. I’m not fighting the
banks, for they are what biidged
me over, as well as others. They
can and will get all the money they
want, and I am sure they will en
dorse this plain us set forth in this
article.
I feel sure as fast as the money
is exausted more will be coming
and you can say that it will lessen
the taxes, but as soon as the roads
are put in good condition, we will
not need so much money. I know
of some men who offer from SSO
to SIOO as a donation, if the roads
will be worked that leads by their
places; also they propose to work
gratis for ten to fifteen days with
six mules and hands to get the
road clayed up.
While the spirit is up is the
time to work. Mr. Ordinary, call
a meeting of the citizens of the
county—it will not cost a cent —
and see if there is not more en
thusiasm in the people than you
ever saw before on the subject?
I know there'are seme who will
kick, I am not talking to the kick
ers. 1 am talking to real business
men, you that don’t wish to let
the county have your mouey, keep
it and don’t let on that I mean
you, for I don’t. I will lend to the
county SSOO and know more who
will do the same thing. Step up
boys, get busy and don’t let
Toombs county be the last oue to
get good roads
There is one other point I wish
to state. By the above method it
will enable the Ordinary to con
tract the roods out, as any man
who is in a hurry for a good road
would be glad to contract for
pieces of road to work on at his
idle time and in rainy seasons. It
would pay to put men to work who
have not got jobs and it would en
hance the valuation of lands all
over the country.
I know of one instance where a
man offered his land for sale be
fore the road was clayed by his
place for S2O per acre. As soon as
it was clayed he sold an option on
it for SBO per acre. A 50 per cent
increase in about 80 days. I hope
the Ordinary will see it as I do
and call a meeting at an early
date. As there is going to be a
good roads meeting iu Lyons on
July 20th, it might be advisable
that he make an effort to get a
vote on it by then.
Respectively,

Masterfulness of Presidents.
Every President begins by in
tending to do his own work in the
precise constitutional way, and
leave Congress to act upon
own judgement and initiative. M e
have had no more striking exam
ple of this than was afforded by
President Cleveland, who began
w'th strictest views as to the na
ture of a President’s duties —and
who, later on, in pursuance of
what he believed to be public ne
cessity, developed into the master
ful ruler, laying the heavy hand of
authority übon the House and
Senate. Mr. Taft did not quite
realise, in the spring of 1909, that
it was for him to formulate and
represent the large national point
of view. This was for the simple
reason that every congressman and
senator was subject to so much
pressure for his own district or
state that it was welinigh impos
sible for the two great traiff-mak
ing committees to rise to the high
demands of the situation- This
is not in criticism of Mr. Taft, be
cause his position in 1909 was a
perfect clear one, while his total
ly difierant attitude and method
in 1911 have grown out of exigen
cies that are in every way also ac
countable and clear.

The Common Sense Hay Stack.
ffl rs |
; j! { "
Stack Folded and Ready
j/U for Storage or Trans-
JJJj portation.
t
This is a Common Sense Hay Stack. Take a look at it and pass your opinion.
DESCRIPTION: —It is made of perforated piping, hingedly conncted to fold up tor storage or
transportation. Extended locked and braced for use. Upright 1 1-4 inches, 9 feet long: brackets 3-4
inches, 2 1-2 feet long, giving a stack of 5 feet in diameter and 8 feet high. Will last a life-time and
! then be as good as new. Start your mower and keep up with the shocking, no danger of loss from rain or
dew. Will cure bright and retain all its nutriment. Bright hay sells better, has greater feeding value, is
more palatable and healthy than musty or moldy hay. It can always be done with the Common Sense,
no matter what kind of weather you have. Begin early and you can use the same stacks several times in
one season. A few days in the stack, then you can bale, haul in, put in the barn or in large stacks. It
will be worth from one to several dollars per ton more than hay cured any other way. If we could al
ways have ideal weather, it is easy to save hay, but in rainy weather the only safe way is to air stack
it. Yours for more and better hay. For further particulars, call on or address
