GEORGIA’S LEADING WEEKLY VOLUME 53. HASLETT SAYS ACCIDENT WAS , UNAVOIDABLE July 14, 1924. —Editor News-Her ald: Please allow me to say a few words about the Gwinnett County truck having a wreck with Sam Gar ner. The truck was running slow, when Sam came down the sidewalk on a bicycle, going too fast to stop and ran in front of the truck. Mr. S. J. Lane, from Norcross, and I d twenty-two convicts on the truck. It stopped in four feet, when I called to the driver, Carl Baker, to stop. I jumped off to pick the boy up but he got up by'himself. I ask ed him if he was hurt. He sajd, “No,” picked up his wheel and went on. I did not know the boy. He was up and gone so quick. I thought it was Mr. Pierce’s boy. It is true that we had no lights, but if there had been lights it wouldn’t have done any good, a sthe boy was behind the Brand Bank and would have hit the truck if it had been standing still. Respectfully, R. L. HASLETT. TEACHERS’ EXAMINATION, AU GUST 1 AND 2. The regular state Teachers’ Ex amniation will be held at Lawrence ville August 1 and 2 next.

The Bank of Gwin nett building is being put in shape for his store, now located just out of city limits on north Peachtree Road. Your correspondent under stands the vault will be left intact for the present. Even the screw door safe has not been sold. Neither has the elaborate railing and mar ble slabs for want of abuyer. Mr. Burnett needs no introduction here, having been in business off an on in Norcross for many years. Listen! In Hardwick’s Fourth of July, Watson Springs, (somewhere in Georgia) speech, among many other things he is reported to have said: “It is coming to a pretty pass in Georgia, when a secret political or ganization can tell the chief jus tice of the state whether or not he can run for public office. That is why I am making the race,'” Well, what about that as an in centive to offer for the high office of United States Senator from the Empire State of the South?

HIGHWAYS BIG AID IN STATE’S GROWTH Atlanta, Ga., July 14.—The future of Georgia, in the ©pinion of law makers, business men, manufactur ers and leading citizens generally, as shown by interviews obtained here today, absolutely depends upon the building and maintainance of a com plete system of good roads. “No matter what they cost and no matter how deeply they may plunge "Us in debt—though the bond issue plan is well taken care of by a change in the gasoline tax —we must have good, hard surfaced roads,” said one prominent law maker in discuss ing the subject. “Without good roads—the best we can get—Georgia will go into the discard, so to speak, and with good roads we are destined to be one of the great states of the union.” Traveling salesmen who have trav eled over many miles of Georgia roads point to the fact that those commu nities where good roads are main tained are blossoming like the rose and those sections where the people take no pride in their roads—perhaps due to lack of funds—are positively falling into decay, it xvas claimed. Advocates of a bond issue assert that the only cost to issuing bonds is the interest, and even then, under the proposed plan of changing the gasoline tax, it represents no extra cost to the taxpayer. Present day, hard surface, paved roads, it is claimed, can be properly maintained at less than a third the cost of dirt roads, and will last in definitely, returning, bond advocates declare, an actual cash saving that, during the life of the bonds will amount to between thirty and fifty million dollars in cash—enough ab solutely to offset the charges in in terest. It’s Great to Be a Georgian. Atlanta folk are rejoicing over the many things coming to the city from the farms of the state. Eggs are cheap and plentful, the same is true of milk-fed chickens, butter and milk are plentiful and not expensive and vegetables of all kinds are literally crowding the Atlanta market, therefore the people here are pleased and doubly so when they real ize that similar conditions probably prevail in all parts of the state. Georgia’s commissioner of agricul ture, J. J. Brown, after speaking of the great abundance of watermelons, canteloupes, peaches, apples, plums and other fruits, with butterbeans as a side dish, observes that “whether he owns his home or an automobile, thd chances are that he is living high, if he is a resident of Georgia. One with health and a chance to make an honest living has little to make him discontented.” Beyond any question Georgians are fortunate. , They get the choice things of the earth and generally they get them a few weeks ahead of other people. They enjoy fine, cool ing brezes in the summer time and warm, genial sunshine in winter, part of the time anyhow, and they have little excuse for complaining. If Georgia’s motto ever is changed it might appropriately be made to say: “We’re the Empire State of the South and we live like Kings.” Atlanta’s song of plenty can be sung with enthusiasm in every part of Georgia, for the whole state is en joying the bounty that nature gives. “JUST SEVEN DAYS TO LIVE" M. E. CHURCH SUNDAY* NIGHT A congregation almost completely filling the large auditorium was pres ent at the Methodist church las*.

With the condition above average on July Ist and forecast produc tion of about 63,000,000 bushels in dicated in the monthly report of the Georgia Cooperative Crop Reporting Service, Georgia bids fair to produce a com crop this year much larger than has been realized for the past two years.

The crop in the state, as a whole, is in better condition than it has been on this date for the past two years. Peanut Acreage Increased 25 Per cent. With the old commercial area of southern Georgia making a material increase in peanut acreage, and sev eral counties in northern Georgia, planting commercial acreage—some for the first time—the official acreage for the state is placed at 190,000, 25 percent greater than it was last year. Acreage f'or previous years: 1923, 162,000; 1922, ).60,- 000; 1921, 202,000.
