Richardson Leaves; McDonald
Takes Charge of J. F. Carter
Branch Store
Mr. J. F. Carter, president of
the J. F. Carter Co., was in our
otfi e Wednesday afternoon for a
short while and informed us that
his man, Ivan Richardson, in his
Cleveland branch store, would
leave with him that afternoon for
Gainesville to take a position with
him on the road. Richardson’s
place is now filled by that courte¬
ous, kind and clever young gentle¬
man, Mr. Hubert McDonald. Hu¬
bert’s many friends will be glad to
know of his accepting this position
and are confident of his success.
He is an ideal young man in every
respect, possessing abundance of
energy, integrity, public spirit
and enthusiasm. He has always
been a booster for Cleveland; he
never could be a knocker. We are
confident that the patronage of Mr.
Carter’s store here will appreciate
the selection he has made. When
you step in the store now you are
sure you will be gre;ted with a
smile because Hubert always car¬
ries a good supply—w have never
seen him out.
Mr. Carter says he expects to in¬
crease his Cleveland branch store
all along as business justifies this
increase.

Some Comments on Road Bonds
To the Voters of White County :
The question of bonds or no
bonds are now upon the people of
White county to consider, and I
wish to say that I am a bond man
for all public improvements, but
the proposition of $50,000 for the
national highway and only $15,000
for the building and repairing and
purchasing machinery, tools, etc.,
for the feed roads, is inadequate
for the project, and I am strictly
opposed to the proposition as it is
proposed.
1 would vote bonds to the amount
of $50,000 for the national highway
and $50,000 for the feed roads, and
that is the only way I would con¬
sider it, and I am quite sure that
our people down this way will go
up in almost a solid breast against
the present proposition.
1 tried in a feeble way some
time ago to impress upon tW
thorities the error which they were
about to make, as I saw the situa¬
tion, with no effect, and I would
admonish the voters to think very
seriously before they vote on lhe
present proposition.
The $15,000 will buy the mater¬
ial and tlie machinery for the
county to be used on the construc¬
tion of the national highway, and
then where will the funds come
from to apply on the feed roads?
Equal rights to all and special
privileges to none!
I am for road bonds when it is
intended for the good of all the
people.
What I might say will not in¬
fluence anyone, but it takes this to
relieve my system.
Yours very truly.
J. K. Kenimer.
I love White county. So do you.
Still we know there is something
out of fix. Wliat is that some¬
thing? In answer comes this:
We have no roads, but we pay
more road tax than almost any
county in the State. Yet we know
the funds are used honestly and to
as good advantage as can be under
the circumstances. The question
naturally arises: Where is the
trouble? For an answer we must
do something; we must sacrifice;
we must do something worth while.
We must not consider our little af¬
fairs, our Selfish opinions, but look
to the betterment of our county in
the future. You and I cannot af¬
ford to look at-little advantages to¬
wards us. We must look as our
forefathers did—r-to the welfare of
the country at large. Let us lay
down our little selfish notions.
Come half way with the other fel¬
low. We must do something dif¬
ferent to what we’ve been doing.
We must hely ourselves in order
that others may help. Let us vote
bonds! Let us get together one
time and see things go nicely; let
us pull for our county and town.
We are the ones to pull, you and I.
We know something must be done.
Respectfully submitted,
CLEVELAND, GEOR JUNE 1921.

MAINTAIN THE ROADS
‘Maintaining and keeping the
liblic highways in condition after
they are built, is just as important
building them, and no money is
by neglecting them. Kept
they are never as great cost,
arid as an asset they are invaluable
a community or section.
The Atlanta Journal most forci¬
bly says :
There can be no valid objec
ion to the proposal that federal aid
e withheld from states or counties
which refuse to provide for the up¬
of the roads constructed with
such funds. The Highway Com¬
mission of Georgia, like competent
bodies of its kind throughout the
country, insists upon steady main¬
tenance as a condition of sharing
freely in the common improvement
purse, and recently has established
an admirable system of road patrol
witli a view to discovering and
mending defects without delay.
.“This .■■ rtP Q T .» .H» the »...v onjy policy youuy under ».,««
--V Ifigh wdy.4iwiiis..xan „ be juLr
ministered efficiently and with jus¬
tice to all taxpayers. To sink
money all material in a road to
which those profiting most by its
presence will contribute nothing in
the way of maintenance is poor
business and unfair dealing.
“Regardless of how well the
work is done, it will fall far short
of its rightful term of service un¬
less it is regularly looked over and
repaired. Particularly is this true
since the tides of motor traffic be¬
gan to roll as they do today, heavy
the seasons through and ever in¬
creasing. Only the best construc¬
tion, reinforced by diligent upkeep
wilKsuffice.
“Millions upon millions of dol¬
lars have been wasted in the past
for want of road inspection and re¬
pair; and not infrequently com¬
munities which would vote readily
enough for road betterment bond
issues, have been turned against
such measures by the speedy break¬
down of the improvements made.
Proper inspection at the outset and
at close intervals afterward would
prevent most of this disappoint¬
ment,”

to
for in three monthly payments.
When he went to make the last payment he was sur¬
prised to learn that the store wanted $37. 00 rather
than $13.50 winch he expected to pay. They claimed
only one payment had been made.
This man came to the bank to ask our advice. He
said he was sure he had paid the bill—that he remem¬
bered writing a check for the payment.
It took hut a minute or two ro find that cancelled
check.
/ Of course the store gladly corrected their mistake
when the saw this cancelled check. Mistakes occur
once in a while no matter how careful you are. But
you will never have to pay an account twice when you
can show a properly c iticelled check to prove that you
have actually paid as you claim.
