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.

It was a d grace 10 the State.

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 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.
