Mr. J. W. Etris. progressive
citizen of Town Creek district,was
in town jpiesday with a prtition
which asks for a change in the
road to Slabtown by surrounding
the Ed Hood bill. It was no
trouble for Mr. Etris to get signa¬
tures for this needed change.
The change asked for in the pe¬
tition will eliminate the terrible
grade on this hill by turning to the
right after crossing rhe ford at
Hood creek and going South ot the
Ed Ilood house.
The Ordinary should be eager to
grant the petition, for Mr. Etris
tells us.that he has secured enough
people to give their teams to do the
work free, and The Courier can
see no reason why the petition
should not be granted.
Fred W. Hooper, of Espanola,
Fla., son of Mr. and Mrs. T. B.
Hooper, of Mossy Creek district,
has been awarded a contract to
construct *he Ocean Shore boule¬
vard, connecting Daytona Beach
arid St. Augustine. It will be a
40 feet road bed.
Fred is a member of the Flagler
county commissioners, and his
work is receiving much praise.
The White County Grand Jury
for the April term is published in
this issue.
These men represent the various
districts of White oounty in deal¬
ing with matters of this county.
They are men of splendid charac¬
ter, sound judgment and a progres¬
sive spirit. They know what the
county needs, and after careful
deliberation will deal with those
matters in a way that will be com¬
mendable.
The duties of a Grand Juror is
particularly responsible. However,
their duties are not solely that of
issuing bills for various offenses of
the statutes. They check the
several comity officers and make
recommendations. There is no
requiring the carrying out of these
recommendations, but as they act
i 1 a capacity to look after the best
interests of the county, their rec
oinendations are usual 1 carried out.
The Courier don’t desire to be
too suggestive, but we would like
to see this honorable body have in
their presentments recoinmenda
tious dealing with the system of
county road work and the greatly
u reded repairs on the court house.
The court house is a disgrace ,o
a people who have voted bonds for
f jderal interstate highway through
it. It wont cost much to do this
work, and, to our opinion, it should
be done at once. Stucco couid be
easily placed on the outside walls,
the windows changed and the
doors fixed with a small cost to
the county.
The county can never hope to
have any improvement in the roads
until a road supervisor is employed
who has knowledge of road work
mid maintenance and some modern
machinery.
Yes, this will cost something,but
you will get something for your
money expended, whereas it is now
' the money is practically thrown

This county needs a road man
and a caterpiller tractor with
enough motive power to do some
real road worki And, to our
.pinion, we wili never have any
roads until that system is put in
force.
No man, no business nor no
county, for that matter, can stand

backward.

Judge W. E- Candler, of Blairs
ville, called a gathering of Union
county people at the noon hour of
court Monday for the purpose of
learning their sentiment on state
road bonds, which resulted in a
unanimous vote against bonds.
Judge Candler states that his
reason for calliug this meeting was
the printing of a telegram signed
by the Union County Chamber of
Commerce in The Constitution
Monday favoring bonds.
The Constitution carried a story
Wednesday in which contained
telegrams and a letter from J. P.
Davenport, editor of the North¬
east Georgian and secretary of that
organization, and B. H. Stone,
representative of Union county,
and Judge Candler.
Mr. Stone and Mr. Davenport

Candler denies that there is such
in organization now, nor may
never be.
