Up goes our bat in the air for
J. B. Simmons for State Senator,
he is one of the best men in the

Senator as not. Mr. Simmons is
conservative, high toned, and will
look ahead as to tlie effect of pro¬
posed laws on the people. Mossey
Creek will give him a splendid
vote, watch our predictions.
18000 ROADS
MEAN BETTER
MARKETS
Georgians are beginning to realize
that one of the surest ways to bring a
return of prosperity to this state is to
establish the system of good roads laid
out by the State Highway Department,
which will assure them better market¬
ing facilities for their diversified crops.
.So long as bad roads make the near¬
est market a day’s journey away, our
farmers will be slaves to the one crop
system. With good roads, good mar¬
kets will be brought within a few hours
of every farmer and will enable him to
produce and market crops that will
bring him money all the year round,
and free him front the credit system
which impoverishes him.
Georgia can only hope to quit paying
tribute to the north and west when she
wakes up, as those sections have done,
to the value of good roads and good
schools to the rural community. Mil¬
lions of dollars go out of this state
each year to purchase food stuffs that
can he grown right here in super-abun¬
dance, hut our farmers lack the incen¬
tive for producing these crops because
marketing conditions in the past have
been so poor. Good roads will change
all this and keep at home the money
we are paying out to enrich the west¬
ern .producer of hay, grain, meat prod¬
ucts and canned goods.
If the farmer could realize what good
roads mean to his welfare, he would
enthusiastically support the proposed
bund issue for good roads, for by this
means he will have his highways built
for him by the automobile owners of
the country without having to pay out
one cent in additional taxes. The bond
plan simply takes the income from the
automobile license fees and gasoline
tax and converts it into a fund to re¬
tire the bonds, thus making it do in
ten years wiiat otherwise it would take
thirty to accomplish.
Thinking citizens all over the state
are turning to the bond issue as the
means for helping the farmers who
have been stricken by the boll weevil
pest hack to prosperity, and they are
supporting the measure with enthu¬
siasm.
) Tactically every civic organization
in the state has endorsed the good
roads bond issue. The Farm Bureau
Federation president, Hon. J. W. Mor¬
ton, of Athens, is enthusiastically for
it, as are the majority of the Chambers
of Commerce in the state. The inter¬
esting thing about all this enthusiasm
for the bonds, however, is the fact that
the peoplo who will have to pay for
the roads under the plan, the automo¬
bile owners, are the ones moat heartily
supporting of it. They regard it as a
measure sened economy. and They say the les¬
wear tear on their cars and
the saving in gasoline consumption will
amply compensate them. The farmer
is the man who will benefit most from
the good roads and they will cost him
nothing, for only such an amount of
bonds will be issued as can be retired
by the automobile license fees and the
gasoline tax. Mora than this amount
is prohibited In the eonsthutiooil
amendment
“It is one medicine that does all
that’s claimed for it.” Thousands
have said it about Tanlac and so
will you if you try it. Cleveland
