FAVORS ROAD BONDS.
r«
Senator A. D. David of Gordon
county is highly in favor of a stale
bond issue lor the const ruction of
n system of Stato Highways as
designated by the present state
Highway map.
Senator Davis says be will sup
port a bond issue that can be re
tired by the automobile license
fees and gasoline tax, but that there
must not be oven a shadow of any
inereaee in the present tax rate.
Pooling the abode funds to retire a
bond issue is positively the only
way the citizens of average-age can
ever have good roads in their life
time. Also it is our only hope of
getting the millions of Federal aid
appropriation to Georgia for road
purposes.
By the bond plan! the people
who own automobiles and trucks
and tbe consumers of
would be tbe ones who would pay
the entire bond issue, and they
would pay no more than they are
now paying. The 5,500 miles of!
state highway that would be con- j
strueted would save the owners of
automobiles and trueks in Georgia

“DUST ‘EM RIGHT OR LET‘EM BITE.”
A picture drodueed by the De
partment of Agriculture, “Dust
Em Right or Let ‘Em Bite,” will
appear at The Strand Theatre on
April 7th.
The picture has as its pain pur
pose to show the n ethods to
be used by the farmer under pres
ent boll weevil conditions as con
trasted with those that were em
ployed in the past.
The various types of mnehint*ry
used ill spraying the cotton with
calcium arsenate, the latest meth
ods of flgnting the boll weevil de
veloped by gcverjjmeut experts, and
how tho farmer can get the govern
ment to protect him from inferior
material are presented fu.ly.
The picture shows (hat there is
no royal road to success ii fighting
the weevil, that the fight must be
oonductod with brains and hard
work, but that when these are ap
plied, the farmer wins and makes
good mouey at cotton raising even
under tho severest boll weevil con
ditions.

educational and industrial pictures
being exhibited by the Southern

The striking minors w li o
through their unions may think
they are doing in attempting to
puL a stop to the mining of coal
throughout this country. They
cat* succeed only as far as tbe II.
S. Government is willing for them
to succeed. Perhaps the miners
think that in their ease might is
right, and that their might is tho
union authority to make idlers
out of hundreds of thousands of
workers. Certainly there will be
tremeudous inconvenience in the
discontinuance of coal mining,but
it will no sooner bo discovered
that the supply of coal on hand is
much greater than the miners be
lieved. Be that as it may, the
government will not permitalltho
mines to close, or continue closed J
gasoline a uy considerable length of time.
