EDR ROADS BILL
Rural Sections Hope Gordon
Lee’s Efforts for Measure
Will Meet Success.
A very great deal of interest is - felt
throughout Georgia, particularly in the
rural sections, in a bill now before the
United States senate, after having
passed the house by a tremendous ma
jority, which has for its object the
promotion of good roads construction
through Federal rental of the same for
rural mail delivery purposes.
This bill, which is pending as a rider
to the postoffice appropriation bill. and.
therefore, is more than likely to pass.
1s the compromise consolidation of
several bills introdm ed in congress for
the encouragement of good roads build
ing, and was reported to the house bv
tlte agricultural committee as a. com
mittee measure.
Gordon Lee. representative from the
Seventh Georgia congressional district,
who is a member of the agricultural
committee, was one of the leaders in
the fight to get this bill through the
committee and through the house. Mr.
Lee made a speech on the floor of the
house in favor of the measure, which
attracted wide-spread attention.
What the Bill Provides.
Stripped of its techideal terms, the
hill provides that any county in any
state of the Union, wherein rural or
star mall routes are maintained, may
build roads of a specified kind, and rent
them to the Federal government for use
of the mail service, at from sls to $25
per mile per annum, if it so elects.
Counties able and so desiring may
build these Toads, under the provisions
es the contemplated law. and thereby
find for themselves good Investments,
providing a direct financial return, nr
they may build them through bond Is
sues and depend upon the Federal rent
als to pay the interest thereon.
The roads thus rented, by the gov
ernment for the mail service would be
open, of course, to the general public.
As a matter of fact, government de
liveries would rarely be made over
these roads more than twice a day. six
days to the week.
To Encourage Good Roads.
The primary purpose of this bill is
to encourage the construction of good
roads everywhere throughout the
Union in su' lr w ise as the Federal gov
ernment may.
Manx hills have, been introduced in
congress looking to Federal aid in the
matter of good roads construction, but
congress ha.s invariably found it diffi
cult to get around the legal obstruc
tions standing between congress and
Its desires This bill, the committee, on
agriculture thinks, meets every legal
eblection and is framed to bear evenly
end throughout th*--
entire United States.
The committee on agriculture be
Iteves that this measure, while frankly
nut forward to encourage good roads
construction, may be depended upon if
generally adopted, to increase largely
the use of the rural mail service every
where Eventually, at least, the com
mittee thinks, the general construction
of roads under the provisions of this
bill will prove to be financially profits -
ble to the government, because of the
extension of the mail service, tnfi tn
the meantime it will boos vast benefit
and help to the people, particularly
the farmers and agricultural part of
the population, because of the much
better roads that will he constructed
under its provisions.
Congressman Lee gives it as his
opinion that this bill undoubtedly will
be enacted into law by the present
congress, and tha' the president will ’
sign it promptly. ,

BOARD. It
SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Thomas ‘4. Hudson, former candi
date for governor, is in Atlanta today.
He has been spending a few days on
his farm. prcparatoi\ to entering at
once upon a peaceful existence, more
or less removed from polities. Later
along—well Mr. Hudson says he may
have a try at the political game, from
one angle or another.
"1 wish to correct on<* impression
that has inadvertently gone abroad,
partly through misunderstanding and
partly through misinformation. In a
list of names given out by Mr Frank
Reynolds, purporting to be my cam
paign committee, and supposedly those
who inducted me to enter the guberna
torial contest, with promises of finan
cial support, and so on. appear the
names of Judge George Hillyer and
Judge John S. Candler. of Atlanta,
and some others.
“I wish to say that neither gentle
man had anything to do with getting
me into the gubernatorial race, nor
with getting me out. Both are my loyal
friends, and have been. 1 have nothing
but gratitude in my heart for them.
“1 wish to say that much in justice
to them, and because there is some
misapprehension about their connection
with my late campaign involving them
unpleasantly.”
Mr. Hudson will be in Atlanta for the
remainder of this week.
The governorship race is the absorbing
topic of comment among statesmen, real
and near, passing through Atlanta nowa
days.
It generally L« agreed that John M.
Slaton has the best end of the contest,
so far as present appearances go. and it
further is agreed that bp stands to win.
provided “something doesn’t happen.”
Il is not thought likely that something
will “happen. ’ of course still, one hears
a person of speculative and argumenta
tive frame of mind throw out a sugges
tion along that line now and then.
Fnr instance
‘ There Is one thing that can. and will,
seriously damage Jack Slaton's cause in
Georgia. ' said an observer of events and
things, discussing the governorship mat
ter today, “and that might, in certain cir
cumstances. actually defeat him, and that
is continued ’nagging’ of Tom Hudson,
because of something Hudson did. or is
alleged to have done, to somebody or
other of this or that political faith long
ago.
“Hudson may nr may not have been
guilty of 'ingratitude’ when he favored
Senator Smith rather than Senator Ter
rell in the contest for the succession to
Senator Clay, and he may or maj r not
have made a mistake when be ‘forsook'
one crowd for another, bark yonder some
in the dim and relatively distant
past; but if .lack Slaton’s friends want
Tom Hudson’s friends to support Jack
Slaton for governor which many of them
Incline cordially to do they will not ‘nag’
Hudson too far. nor will they seek to rub
anything in too deep’.
“There isn’t any use going into this
matter further right now. A word to the
wise is sufficient Hudson’s friends feel
mighty kindly toward Slaton now and I
hope they will continue so to feel. And
will. If only some feu of Mr Sla
ton’s foolish friends will let. them.”
And these sentiments found hearty ap
proval at the hands of the audience

( John T. Boifeulßet. private secretary lo
Senator Augustus Octavius Bacon, said:
“I attribute my very good health direct
ly to one thing above all others I take
i daily plenty of exercise, exclusively by
; way of walking
“Senator Bacon got nip into (he com
> mendable habit of walking much and
walking far. It is. by all odds, the finest
exercise in the ’rtorld. and the senator
x practices it. and has for many years.
“The senior senator from Georgia is one
1 of the noted walkers of Washington city.
. He lives on Oregon avenue, five miles
from the capitol. and he makes the round
trip afoot every day. Occasionally, com
, ing in., he may walk down as far as the
’ Raleigh hotel, and then ride un the hill
to the capitol, but he never does that un
-1 less he is unusually pressed for time.
“Chief Justice White and Mr. Justice
Holmes, of the supreme court, are great
walkers, but neither is in a class with
, Senator Bacon. The senator is 71 years
of age. and there isn’t a better specimen
of physical manhood in Washington over
1 50. He keeps his good health largely by
walking: he has sought most successfully
to I)Blance his mental activity with physi
cal exercise.
“I fell into the habit of walking with
. him. and 1 have grown very fond of the
exercise.” concluded Mr. Boifeuillet.
“Walking is fine business for any man.”

Atlanta can't get enough chickens to

before, but Tennessee is supplying the
greatest number. Fries ate a Utile un

bolding them back at present, which
partially accounts,for the short market.
"Georgia is raising man\ chickens
now. but it must go some to equal Ten
nessee," said a produce man. “If it
were not for Tennessee we would have
very few turkeys; in fact. I believe
that the price would jump to 50 cents
per pound.
"Fries are on the market now at from
22 to 25 cents per pound, and right
here is where the Georgia poultry rais
ers could best those of Tennessee.
Georgia can grow a chick to frying
size earlier than Tennessee.
"The poultry business in Georgia lias
increased marvellously In the past few
years. People will oat chicken when
nothing else will take its place. They
want chicken all the time."
