fiddle Georgia Masons to
Gather at Banquet Here
Mr. W. T. Anderson, editor of the
Macon Telegraph, in a speech deliver-
ered -before the Milledgeville Ki
wanis club Friday evening, made an
able and convincing argument in
favor of a state issue of bonds for
school purposes and road building.
Mr. Ander*on was heard by the
numbers of the club, and a number
j of other citizens, who were the
pecial guests of the club
The speaker was introduced by the
President Mr. L. C. Hall, and he was
given a cordial welcome.
Mr. Anderson was forceful in hi*
criticism* of the conditions that had
been brought about a shortage of $3.-
i 000,000.00 for the common school
funds, compelling tjhe ischooj:
throughout the state to close, am
the payment of the salaries of the
euchers to be delayed. It was a d
grace 10 the State. He favored
bond issue, and the appointment of
a commission composed of twelve'
appointees one from each congress
ional district to study the condition
of the schools, and to place the money
derived from the sale of the bonds,
in building up a unified educational
system.
In discussing road bonds Mr. An
derson brought out facts and figures
showing that Georgia under the pres
ent system was making slow pro
gress in building permanent roads,
and that large amounts cf money
were being wasted. He showed that

ent road far exceeded that in those
states w lich had paved roads and
It with the cost of excess gasoline
would more than pay the amount
of the bond interest. He showed that
North Carolina by issuing bonds and
building n permanent road sys
tem, had far outstiipped the other
outhern states in progress and ad
vancement. In discu:
keting advantages given the farmer
by paved roads, he cited instances,
showing the great advantages that
had come to farmers, dairymen anu
truck growers in Bibb county in get-
ing their products to market since
the highway from Macon to Atlanta
had been paved. He was convincing
in his arguments that the toll under
the present road system in the State
was far in excess of the amount of
interest thut would accrue from a
bond issue.
He favored bond., paid directly

visitors who will he here for two
days. Capt. Ennis stated that the
local lodge would begin making plans
now and every detail would be ready
to make the event the most gala ever
held in thia city. One of the big
features will be an old fashioned
Georgia barbecue .
