Candler Argues Its Existence Is

The proposed Dounty <»f <’arvil*r
is to petition the incoming Legisla
ture for creation along new lines,
and with an argument not onl> novel
but perhaps winning.
Candler County i* to u.«k for ex-
- istence a a a powerful argument in
favor of good roads.
It will seek to prove its rigid to
creation as an absolute good roads
necessity—that, of course, along with
other reasons likely to appeal to in
telligent legislative consideration.

r their remoteness from their County
seats and the consequent improba
bility of very active good roads work
in their viciniti.es.
In some of these places, It s |

seat, and that brings about not only j
much dissatisfaction, but positiv
discontent.
Metter. a prosperous and hustling
town of South Georgia, is an exam
ple of this, and it is about Mettc"'|
that the proposed new county of
Candler is to be framed.
If Candler County is created, it is
contended that, with Metter as the
County swat. good roads construction
will radiate from Metter throughout
the neighboring territory and that
there will not be a farm in the new
county not soon connected with the
I County seat by ample and gufficUnt ,
roads.
There is great enthusiasm among
the people about Metter in favor of
the new county, and very little opp »-
sitlon from the people of tlie coun-
ptJes from which it is to he taken.
Candler generally is regarded as a
good new county proposition, too. and
Tt should surprise no one, therefor*.

“seal of its approval upon it.
It would be located in one of the
fagicheet and most promising sections
