The Supreme Court of the United States refused to entertain the ap peal of Milledgeville property own ers to have the state supreme court reversed from its decision declaring ihe litigation asking that the pav ing of Milledgeville be declared illegal came into the courts too late. Over one hundred property own ers in the city have been fighting the legality of the law which paved the streets of Milledgeville in 1928 and 29. In the fight the case has been in the courts several years and has been carried to the highest courts in the state. The state supreme court decided a few weeks ago that the property holders were too late in asking that the law be declared illegal and it was on this decision that the case was carried to the highest court. The high tribunal de cided last week that the appeal did not warrent a hearing. Wliat action will now be taken to collect the paving assessments was not known, but it is understood that the holders of bonds will take im mediate action to make the collec tions. It is probable that the prop erty holders will be allowed to make the payments in install.nente. al though this has not been definitely decided. The case was carried into the courts in 1930 when proprety was advertised for sale to collect paving assessments. The case was taken in on affadavits ca* illegality.

After the arrival of the complete outfit the camp site will be improved, athletic grounds built and other con veniences provided for the young men while here.

SEAWARDS DEGREESMONDAY Commencement Exercises Come to a Close With Address by Hoo. Willis A. Sutton. The 44th commencement of the Georgia State College for Women came to a close Monday when de grees and diplomas were awarded 305 seniors and members of the sophomore normal group by Dr. Guy H. Wells, president of the college. The commencement exercises brought to a close one of the most successful and progressive years In the history of the college. The en rollment throughout the year has taxed the capacity of the college and many improvements have been made. The commencement program be gan when class day exercise® were held by the Senior Class south campus. This exercise w pressive. Saturday was given over entirely to alumnae activities when the in duction ceremcn* 'as held followed by the annual b« ^uet. On Sunday the Right Reverend H. J. Mikell. Bishop of the Atlanta Dis- erse of the Episcopal church deliver ed the commencement rermon. A musical program arranged by Miss Alice Lennre Tucker, with Miss Mag gie Jenkins at the organ * this road leading to Milledgeville. The section of road to be paved Is part of the Woodrow Wilson high way and connects with a road which splits the state in the center and is a short route to Florida. In urging the plan, the commis sioners of this county pointed out that Milledgeville is visited more than any city in Georgia due to the many institutions here and the^e is not now a paved highway lead ing directly from South Georgia in to Milledgeville. It was also stated that the people living South dC Mil ledgeville had no hard surfaced, all weather road on which to come to Milledgeville to transact business and Milledgeville was the trade cen ter of the large majority of the peo ple in Wilkinson county. During the past several months the road from Hardwick to the Wilkin son county line has been under construction, and has been complete ly rebuilt to be ready for paving. The county last week received a con tract to build a concrete bridge across Camp Creek as a part of this new road. The visiting commissioners were entertained at dinner by the local commissioners on their visit here. It is planned to take immediate action to have the paving approved and the work started at the earliest possible date. L. N.
