GOOD ROADS BONDS
OBJECTIONS ARE
T. G. Farmer, Jr.,
Replies to Attack
Made on Good
Roads Rond
Issue
Declaring that the statement given to
the press a few days ago by Hon. J. M.
Yeomans, of Dawson, attacking the pro
posed bond issue for good roads, con
tains glaring misstatements of facts, T.
G. Farmer, Jr., managing director of
the Georgia Good Roads Association,
has issued a statement in which he
shows' how Mr. Yeomans’ article “jug
gles” facts and figures in order to find
a flaw in the plan for issuing bonds to
build good roads.
Mr. Farmer takes the Yeomans ar
ticle paragraph by paragraph and shows
that when the facts in the matter are
truly stated there cun be no grounds for
opposing the bond issue for good roads.
Quotation is made from the proposed
constitutional amendment, showing how
the issue df bonds euch year will be
limited to the income available for re
tiring them, and that no more bonds
can be issued under the law than the
automobile tug tux and gasoliue fees
will retire.
Mr. Furmer explains how every pre
caution is taken to see that the bonds
nre floated without increasing taxation,
and points out that since fully 65 per
rent of the automobile license fees and
ill be paid by cities where
he built, the question re-
Jo the city building road
country, which Mr. Furmer
ley will do gladly, if the bond
issue is voted.
Tile present system of state highways
is so charted that 82 per cent of the
population of the state will he within
five miles of a state highway, according
to the statement, and Mr. Farmer states
the bond plan will enable enmities to
build intersecting roads to these high
ways and reach most of our people with
good roads.
The only way the bond issue can bo
defeated is by n understanding it. ac
cording to Mr. Funner. ‘‘The truth
about the bond plan wins it advocates
wherever it is presented, and we expect
to try to see that every voter knows thfl
truth about it before the legislature
%leets in June,” he states.

The Friendly Path
By WALTER I. ROBINSON
SELFISHNESS
T HINK of your tusks and not of
yourself.
Most, of those who. find their dally
work monotonous and imagine they
could much greater enjoyment out
of other employment would not be
likely to make any greater headway or
find greater pleasure In doing any
other job under the sun, unless they
first had u change in their own view
point.
Usually it is not what one may he
doing, hut the spirit in which It Is
done which makes work pleasant or
undesirable. When people are con
stantly thinking of self and placing
themselves above the Importance of
the duty at hand, the task will seem
distasteful and inconsequential, re
gardless of how much Its successful
accomplishment means to the world.
The story is told of a school teacher
who hated her work and was ex
tremely anxious to become a nurse.
She complained that there was noth
ing to her life hut a mile-long trip
between two ugly fences twice a day
and the Intervening hours spent In
teaching the same monotonous lessons
over and over again. So she thought
it would be so very lovely to don a
white cap and apron and devote the
remainder of her life to curing for
the sick.
Fortunately she stated her opinion
to a clear-headed and broad-minded
physician and asked him to aid her In
finding employment as a student In
a hospital. When this man heard
why she wished to give up teaching
as a profession, he kindly told her that
she was temperamentally unfitted to
be' a nurse, for nursing meant ex
treme self-sacrifice. If she thought
ho much of herself that she couldn't
find enjoyment in the work of making
good and able Americans through
teaching, due to her constant thoughts
of self, he contended that she would
have even a smaller chance of getting
enjoyment out of the nursing pro
fession, which demanded more devo-
i tion to others’ welfare,
j ’ The you.lg woman was intelligent
enough to know that what the physi
cian told her was true. Hour after
hour she battled with herself to get
the right viewpoint, and finally she
won her battle over selfishness. Then
her work became enjoyable and sin*
so well that Its influence for
is reflected In her life and her
did it
good w
smiles.
No
vork will make one happy If he
more of himself than his Job.

Fishermen Netted Submarine.
Some fishermen out In their boats
near Hyeres made a catch that nearly
ended one boat load, reports the Lon
don Times correspondent at Paris.
They caught a submarine In one of
their nets. Tim bodt tc which the net
was attached was In danger of being
drawn under the water by an unseen
and unknown monster, and, though
frantic efforts were made to free the
boat by cutting the net away, It imgm
have gone badly with the crew If the
commander of the submarine, wonder
ing what he had run Into, had not
brought his vessel to the surface. The
boat was almost completely swamped
by the sudden rise of the submarine-,
which had to rescue the crew and tow
the boat Into port.
Had a Right to Laugh.
Three years ago, when sleighing
w0us good, I went to town with my
brother In a dilapidated sleigh. We
met another brother, who lived near us.
and I told him that I would go home
with him, as he had a good sleigh and
I wanted to make sure of getting
there. We hod gone only a short
distance when In ascending a hill the
sleigh broke down, letting us fall
backward. A team hitched to a bob
sled close behind nearly stepped on
us. The man in the sled brought me
home. My brother arrived home
later without accident. Did he laugh
at me? I guess so.—Chicago Journal.
