BOOD tIOADS
MEAN BETTER
MARKETS
Georgian* are beginning to realize
that one of the surest waya to bring a
return of proaperity to thia atate ia to
eatabliah the syatem of good roada laid
out by the State Highway Department,
which will aaaure them better market
ing facilitiea for their diversified crop*.
So long aa bad roada make the near
est market a day’* journey away, our
tarmers will be slaves to the one crop
syatem. With good roads, good mar
kets will be brought within a few hours
of every farmer and will enable him to
produce and market crops that will
bring him money ail the year round,
and free him from the credit system
which impoverishes him.
Georgia can only hope to quit paying
tribute to the north and west when she
wakes up, as those sections have done,
to the value of good roads and good
schools to the rural community. Mil
lions of dollars go out of this state
each year to purchase food stuffs that
can he crown right here in super-abun
dance, hut our farmers lack the incen
tive lot producing these crops finrause
marketing conditions 'in the past have
been so poor. Good roads will change
all this and keep at home the money
we arc paying out to enrich the west
ern producer of hay, grain, meat prod
ucts and tanned goods.
If the farmer could realize what good
roads "Incan to his welfare, he would
enthusiastically support the proposed
bond issue for good roads, for by this
means he will have his highways bui ; t
for him by the cutomobil ■ owner* of
the country without having to pay out
one cent in ad li'.iom I tnters. Th - bond
plan ‘imply takes the inccne from the
automobile license fees and gasoline
tax an;! converts it into a fund to re
tire the bonds, thus making it do In
ten years what otherwise it wuuid take
thirty to accomplish.
Thinking citizens all e.vcr the state
era lurring to the bond ir-sue as the
means for hoping tTTe farmers who
have been stricken !>v the boll weevil
pest hack to prosperity, and they are
supporting the measure with enthu
siasm.
Practically avsrv civic organization
in the slate has endorsed the go id
roads bond issue. The Farm Bureau
Federation president, Hon. J. \V. Mor
Ion, of Athens, is enthusiastically fot
it, as arc the raaioritv of the Chambers
of Commeree in the riatv The inti-r-
I eating thing about all this enthusiasm
Sun- ' * or the bond... however, is the fact t'l <
[The people who will have to pav for
the roads under the plan, ihe automo
bile owners, are the ones most heartily
upparting it. They regard it as a
measure of economy. They say the l--s-
sened wear and tew rq th- : r ears and
the saving in gasoline consumption w ill
amply oompensate lh-in. The farmer
is the man who will benefit most fn in
the good roads and they will cost him
nothing, for only such an amount of
bonds will be issued as can he ret it d
by the automobile license fees and the
gasoline tax. More than this amount
is prohibited in the constitutional
vnendinent.

done for me and 1
recommend it to
others, as I am sure

ful medicine, and I give you permission
to use my testimonial and my photo

troubles women often have, or feel all
run down, without any ambition or en
ergy for your regular work, take Lydia
