GOOD ROADS,
Gentlemen of White and Towns :
How about it? Now is the time it
you ever expect any improvement
in roads, which naturally brings
improvement along other
lines. The time was when people
gave but little thought to road
building. They followed the trails
of the wild man and the beasts ot
the mountain, they used an ox cart
as a means of transportation, later
they used four to eight head of
horses to carry a two-horse load,
today we have doubled the capacity
both as to tonage and milage.
Other counties have doubled that,
by means of automobiles and
trucks. Why not we? Today iso
day of improvement and progress ;
a faster age than that of our ances¬
tors. Gentlemen of the mountains,
the land of the skies, God's
country, just open your eyes, look
around you, see what counties
are doing in the way of
improvement and road building,
and I am sure we don’t want to be
left ploding along in the old ruts
made one hundred years ago when
toll roads and toll bridges were
were common all over the country
But progress of time and develop¬
ment of the country has done away
with nearly every one ol those
hinderances to commerce and
travel. Only two are to be found
anywhere in the country. Now the
tiling these two counties need in
my judgement is a graded road
from the Hall county line to the
Towns county line on top of the
Blue Ridge where Towns county,
us I understand, is ready and wait¬
ing to meet us and carry the road
through Towns. Then why not
get busy? We can do it and you
need not say we can’t, other coun¬
ties are doing things, why not we?
Good roads are a thing that is
used by everyone, and we all realize
the need of them, and if we will
just build some roads you will see
men of money coming into our
county, building summer homes,
developing the country, helping us
pay the tax, and making these
hills the most desirable spot in
Georgia. And there is some
thing* about this road that has
never been offered us before, and
we are in the best shape for doing
some real road building that we
have ever been,and some things are
now made possible and reasonable
that hasn’t heretofore been.
Say lets have a good road meet¬
ing in Cleveland on Monday of
court, composed of citizens of the
two counties? Adopt some plans,
go right after some help from the
goverment road fund, our claims
and needs are meritorious. Why
not do something and do it now?
If we never start we will never do
anything. Lets get our heads to¬
gether, but our shoulders to the
wheel and we can move something.
Gentlemen, the question is right
square up to you. Get you a good
roads speach ready. Let’s hear
from you. How about it Messrs.
Commissioners of Road and Rev¬
enues?
Respectfully,
J. J. Kimsev.

CLEVELAND, GEORGIA, SEP., •_>*, 1917.
WHITE ADVISES SOWING WHEAT
Dear Editor :
Will you please allow me,
through your valuable paper, to
offer some suggestion relative to
the necessity of our farmers mak¬
ing an effort to put in a large
wheat crop this fall?
Of course at the present price of
flour there is no use to argue that
we need more wheat. Every one
will admit that it a ruinous practice
for our farmers to continue to de¬
pend on thj west for our biscuit.
And there is no prospect of prices
being lower, very much, for years
to come. Then it behooves every
up-to-date farmer to get busy about
his wheat land.
It is not my purpose to attempt
to advise the best methods of culti¬
vation. You good farmers of
White county produce so much*
more to the acre than we can down
in my home county (Jackson) it
would be folly for me to offer such
advice. But let tnc urge you to
precure as good seed as possible
and plant your wheat like those of
you who are always making the
bumper yields.
As to seed wheat, there is going
to be a scarcity, we know, and 1
am going to ask you to be very
careful about grinding it all for
bread. Of course we would be
more than glad to grind it for you ;
but still we know that it is suisidal,
for both you and us, for all the
wheat to be made into bread and
none left for this fall’s sowing. As
stated above, I would advise the
use of very best seed obtain¬
able. I would not under ordinary
conditions, advise the use of toll
wheat for seed ; but in case any
011 'e has trouble obtaining seed Lift#
wishes to use toll wheat, our Mr,
Westmoreland will gladly save
back our toll for sowing. All you
will have 5 to do is to so notifly him
at the mill.
Now this is not written for the
sole purpose of boosting our mill,
not at all. But I wish to see the
White county farmer prosper; and
whether my mill grinds the wheat
crop or not, some mill will and the
farmer is benefited. Let our far¬
mers grow what they eat at home
and they will be independent of
everything. I noticed this year
that Jackson county meal and flour
made in Illinois were being sold in
Cleveland. This ought not to be
so. White county is the garden
spot of the state and can feed her¬
self when our hustling farmers
awake to thei< privileges.
Yours for a ‘‘Home Made” living,
W. E. White.
