A vote for road bonds is a vote
for lower taxes in Walker county,
and better roads.
Dear to My Heart Is The Lobby
Os The Kimball House, so sings
the Georgia Solon-
Three elections, a murder tr
and July 4th.—Walker is well
supplied with excitement for the
next few weeks.

A muffler is a tine thing to put
•u a car but you cannot mufflle
some MEN even with the facts
some times.
It seems that the Georgia legis
lature rather prides itself on cr<‘.
ating now countries; it has bo
tome a menace while a mania.
Which fellow appeals to you
more—the one who is agin every
thing, or the fellow who had rath

than a pessimist at a court func

The man who is against the
road bonds in Walker county be
«ause he thinks bonds means
higher taxes will be 'agreeably

SENTIMENT FOR ROAD
. BONDS GROWING RAPIDLY
The campaign of information
relating to the bond issue for
roads in the county, is rapidly
turning the sentiment of the peo
ple toward bonds. As the people
become fully informed as to the
operation of the bond issue, and
just what bonds at this time mean
to our county, they are seeing
the wisdom of voting in this is
sue.
When it is understood that the
issue will actually lower the tax
«s, will guarantee a system of
militia district roads, will release
considerable sums of money in
each district, will bring into
Walker county $400,000 of for
*ign and new money and thereby
stimulate all business activity and
make for better times; it is hard
to see how any fair minded man
«nn tie opposed to the issue.
Those interested in the bond is
sue in the various districts she dd
see to it that all the qualified vot
ers in these districts have the op
portunity of knowing the actual j
facts concerning the issue. If ev- j
cry man and woman citizen in
the county who is qualified to vote
in the election Saturday July 2nd.,
will get informed ns to the bond
issue, the majority for bonds on
election day will be unanimous. •
Floyd County has just voted in
a $750,000 road bond issue last
Thursday by the vote of 3115 in
favor of the issue and only 67
against it. Dade, Catoosa, Murray
Polk. Floyd and all the other j
eounties in the Seventh District l
with the exception of Walker
Bartow, Chattooga and Floyd
have voted a bond issue for roads,
and Walker will vote for bonds
for her roads too July 2nd., ami

iN 60RDON COUNTY SEES II
The following communication to
Ihi* Dalton Citizen in Whitfield
county, relating to the bond issue!
for Uortlon County roads will be oi
interest to Walker county citizens,
who on July 2nd will vote on the
same question that Cordon county
settled in favor of road bonds:
There Is Only One Way
To the Editor of the Dalton Citizen:
Continuing my wire that Gordon
county had voted overwhelmingly 1
for road bonds. 1 give the following I
i data, as 1 know many citizens of
1 Whitfield are and should be inter
ested in better road, and BUNDS are
the ONLY PRACTICAL things with |
which to build them.
Our registration list is 2,683. For'
bonds, 1,770; against bonds, 313. We I
voted for a $300,000 issue to be re
tired in thirty years. The money de
rived from the sale of these bonds
will be deposited in the four hanks
of the county, prorated in propor
tion to the capital stock of each
j bank.
We have only one county commis
! sioner, having changed our county
laws by local legislation. He is paid
a salary under bond, and is on the
job ALL the time. When he called
the election for bonds he designated
f 150 miles of roads in the county that
1 the bond issue would be expended
on, an average of $2,000 per mho,
which will go a long way under 'lie
! present conditions. The above am
ount will build equally as good
roads as $5,000 per mile would in the
past three years, besides it will givej
work to local citizens who want and |
need a job, especially after crops are
laid by. 1 heard one man say that he
would vote for bonds if he knew it j
would be five years before it was:
spent on the roads—said that the
county needed some money to tide
over present conditions. 1 was sur
prised at Ibis statement, coming
from a tight listed farmer, living 10
miles out. He returns his property at
| $7,000. Another man who returns
his property in this county at $12,-
000, is 76 years old and lives in
another county. He came here elec
tion day and worked at the polls all
day FOR BONDS.
To the man who said that we
could not afford to issue bonds he
was shown that the cili/.ens of the
county had paid the amount ui the
bond issue, $300,000, in the PAST
TWO YEARS, in EXTRA deprecia
tion end upkeep of a'l kinds of ve
hicles on account of our present in
ferior roads. These figures were
based on the 1,000 cars and 3,000
buggies and wagons in the county,
and did not count (he time lost and
extra hardship on the stock.
To the man who said he did not
want to leave a debt for his child
ren to pay, was asked if he were
worth twelve million dollars would
he object to leaving a debt of three
hundred thousand dollars if the
money owed was for something his
children wanted he could only say no.
! These figures were figured from the
lax digest. The county taxes return
ed are better than $6,000,000 and the
county is easily worth twice the
amount, and free of debt.
It was also shown the town of
Calhoun would pay one-sixth of the
bond issue, and not one dollar of the
money would be expended in the
town, yet its citizens who would
have to pay this one-sixth were for
bonds almost to a man. Os the 750
votes polled in the Calhoun box, only
twenty-three were against bonds.
While not a citizen of Whittleld
county, 1 am a small taxpayer of the j
county, and would be glad to see
them issue bonds and build roads, j
It is the only way. No city ever had]
waterworks, sewerage, electric
lights, good school buildings, street
railways without a local issue. No
county has ever built roads worth
while of any length without a bond
'issue. No railroad was ever built
without a bond issue.
Yours for good roads, with a bond
issue, T. M. BOAZ.
I end but we hope that bonds wii!
| carry all over the county for we do
need good roads and can l ha\ e
! have them without money to pay for j
! the labor to build them. So come on ]
t boys and vole for bonds so our |
! county can keep up with the other j
I counties in the good work. Good |
roads means, better schools and bet-j
J |.er things for farmers in general.
Jts tiie lies! time that has ever been
: for people |o shed the seales from .
theo'r eyes that have been blinding j
them for these many years, so lets
jail step out on the progressive side
I and do something for the upbuiht- j
mg of our county, and nothing will,
| i>r nu the change quicker than good
S roads through our county from sid< j
to side. Vote for liotpls and see.. j
j, c. Jones will preach at Catlett j
next Sunday at It o’clock and \\ I i
Harris will preach at the same place |

CARDUI HELPED
! REGAIN STRENGTH
Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three
Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous
and Depressed—Read Her
Own Story of Recovery.
Paint Rock, Ala.—Mrs. C. M. Stegall,
of near here, recently related the fol-
I lowing Interesting account of her re
covery: "I was la a weakened con
dition. I was sick three years In bed,
suffering a great deal of pain, weak,
nervoua, depressed. I was so weak.
I couldn't walk across the floor; Just
had to lay and my little ones do the
work. I was almost dead. I tried
every thing I heard of, and a number of
doctors. Still I didn’t get any relief.
I 'couldn’t eat, and slept poorly. I
believe If I hadn’t heard of and taken
Cardui I would have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
"I began to eat and sleep, began to
gain my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven’t had any trou
ble since ... I sura can testify to the
good that Cardui did me. I don’t
think there is a better tonic made
and I believe It saved my life.’*
For over 40 years, thousands of wo
men have used Cardui successfully,
in the treatment of many womanly
ailments.
If you suffer as these women did,
take Cardui. It may help you, too.
