During the administration of the
present County Commissioners their
main program has been the c<
struction of good roads in Baldv
county and their effort has been si
cessful.
A hard surface road has been co
pitted leading to Macon. Within
year another hard surfaced road w

Already Dr. John Q. .Stewart, of
Princeton, describes it as more nearly
resembling the Earth and the other
inner planets than does Jupjter,
Saturn, Uranus or Neptune. Even

is apparently great. ‘‘Black as coal,
nearly as dense as iron, twice as
dense as the heaviest earthly surface

to the Court House where he has

the cause of others for almost a half

one. As we review it we find nviny
lessons worthy of emulation. He
carried no hatred in his heart for his
fellowmen regardless of how vigorous
ly they might have opposed him in
his views. He was always ready to
forgive and forget and whenever he
had a difference with a man he was
always the first to m»ke advances
towards reconciliation.
His splendid success in his chosen
profession should lead others to
strive forward ,to work without ceas
ing, and to sacrifice that they might
gain a place in the stars as Mr. Pot
tle has done.
The soul of a great man has gone
on. The life of a lovable character
will be no more. The achivement-v
of an outstanding jurist nnd noted
lawyer have been stopped but his
fame will live on and many genera
tions will know and hear of Joe Pot
tle for he left his imprint on this
generation.
K MORERNLY EQUIPPED OFFICE
The Union-Recorder to meet the
demands of progress and advance
ment has installed a modern news
paper and job printing plant.
The senior editor and publisher
has long ’.tad a dreai.t when The Un

dream gives him much pleasure an
satisfaction.

TRUCKS ON THE HIGHWAYS
The problem of regulating freight
carrying trucks on the paved high
ways of the states is being brought
into discussion and legisative pro
posals in several of the leading com
monwealths. Most of the paved high-
<way» have not been constructed to
hear the heavy weights carried by
many styles of modern auto trucks.
They are being built with increasing
tonnage capacity and many of them
powered to tow one, two and three
additional heavily landed trailers,
with the result of badly damaging the
roadbeds. Quite naturally highway
authorities to limit truck tonnage and
for the roads object to their being
broken down by the truck owner*
who are forcing tonnage drafts in

The right to limit the truck
loads, except on bridges, is lacking
