This J. P. Jacoway, pro liac vici. Good Roads Since there has been so much talk about the goo 1 roads, I have at last got the consent of my mind to give my views on the matter without any inclination to spread out in print. I have made it a point for sometime to ascet ain what the people generaly think a bout the two gieat questions now being agitated, first building roads by convict labor. *do not know what the cost of preparation, main* tainance, guard mg,etc. will amount to, hence 1 am undesided as to whether or not it would he best for us in Dade county to work them, however, 1 am sure we need better roads and am in favor of having them, hut at the least, expense to citizens. I have always favored a road law that would bear equal on all shoulders and my opinion is we can do this only by levying a tar sufficient to do it, letting every body pav in proportion to his state and county tax and forever abolish the discrimination of working and compelling the weaker class to hear the four days burden they as a gen eral thing are the least able to bear and altogather least benefited by good roads. 1 see men digging on the roads who have not a vehicle to go over it, vet he must dig tour days or pay four dollars. 1 know, and so does every one, that these same men need four dollars worse to buy the necessaries of life or pay a doctor’s bill or perchance for medicine for his sick child or wife, than he needs good roads. I know this has been an unjust bur den imposed upon these pea pie for the last fifteen or twenty years, I know too we have all worked and paid our taxes, and have improved our main thoroughfare all the way through this county from fivehun dred to one thousand per cent in the last eighteen years. Now we have it so it is passable and some comfort in traveling it but just as we reach this point the greatest ini position that was ever thrust upon careless unthinking people lias in vades our roadthe automobile) which has virtually driven us off, there is not a family I know of hut what dreads to go on it for fear they will meet or he overtaken by one of these nuisances. I am in favor of the citizens, the wfiole tax paying concern, to pay for planting out shade trees on both side of our roads, I would be will ing to plant them at my own ex pense, through my laad, if other farmers would do the same. If we will do what we can to beautify and improve our roads, fences, stock and farming we might he able some day to induce immigra tion. I have noticed that Dade is loosing a great many of her citizens i\ e times as many a are moving in. 8, H. Austin Having been requested to write 1 short article on the recent con vict legislation and ijs relation to the Good Road problem, I take this opportunity to comply. I venture the assertion, in the outset, that there is not a o.inty BUSSELL F. TATUM LAWYER. Special'JAttention Given to Collections and Administration of] Estates.

Agentjfor all Legal Blanks at lowest price. in Georgia that would recieve as great a benefit from one good road running through it as our own county of Dade. A first class pub lie road built through the valley, from the Tennessee line to the Ala bama line, would insure to the be nefit of every individual in the county, and add to the commercial value of every acre of land in the county, as well as to every other species of property. The value thus added would be many times greater than the cost of building the road. Then, as a plain busi ness proposition, why not have the road? To build this road it would cost approximately fifty thousand dollars. Why not issue bonds, build the road at once, and beget ting the benefit of the same! The old cry of “saddling a debt on pro sperity” is puerile and senseless, when you take into consideration the fact you are bequeathing some thing of incalculable benefit. Byslightly increasing the taxes we are already paying for road purposes, and for which we have been receiving little of tangible be nefit, the bonds could be taken care of and paid off in ten orfiiteen years. By utilizing the convict labor made available by the passage of the recent convict bill, the sost of building the road could no doubt, be materially reduced from the es timate 1 have given. Unless Dade county avails herself of her oppor tunity to take and work convicts at once, s|je will be forced to act ually contribute to the building of roads in the larger and richer cou nties. This may not be a pleasing thought, but the truth nevertheless- Citizens of Dade, the questioh|j| now squarely up to you, and wharf are you going to do about it? Your represntatives in the Gen eral Assembly labored earnestly and conscientiously to protect your interests in this matter by advoca ting what is known as the Holder bill, under which, in my opinion, Dade county could have built this road, with the help of the state, without ever issuing a dollars worth of bonds. QDade county is endowed with greater possibilities than any other spot T know. The enormous power contained in her stream which at present flows idly to the Tennessee, the great wealth of minerals hid den away in her hills and moun tains, the great diversity and rich ness of soil ail simply await proper development. In conclusion, 1 would say to the people of Dade, BUILD THIS R()A D. If you are a croaker, stop it. If you are a knocker, quit it. Line up for progress and prosper ity, work togather for your own and the county’s upbuilding, and there is not a question but that old Dade will blossom as the rose. J. B. Brock.
