GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
Will Be Held at the State Capitol
in Atlanta November 10th.
On November 10, at the State Capi
tol, will be held the biggest Good
Roads Convention ever assembled in
Georgia.
In view of the recent agitation of
Good Roads which has been conduct
ed by the leading papers in Georgia,
who have conducted State and inter
state Automobile Good Roads Con
tests, to terminate on the eve of the
convention in Atlanta, the question
remains what will be done to carry
forward this movement until the ob
jects desired (Good Roads) have
been attained. While, no doubt,
that these leading papers will con
tinue their agitation for Good Roads
on general principles, but the time
has come when this agitation must
be turned into some well-directed
channels of organized effort of the
people to produce results.
Georgia has not, as yet, any State
privisions for working the roads;
therefore, this work must be carried
on by the counties until the State
creates a highway department and
appropriates funds for road build
ing.
Money spent for Good Roads is
an investment, but when a bond
issue is called for in many counties
it fails to bring the required two
thirds vote. Herein lies the value of
organization. A campaign waged
from county to county, educating
and arousing the people over the sub
ject of Good Roads, will enable the
passage of many bond issues for
road improvement purposes. Not on
ly that, but if Good Roads Clubs are
organized in every county the peo
ple will learn the most improved,
labor-saving, money-saving methods
of road improvement; they will
know that it takes money to build
and maintain roads; they will stand
by their road authorities, who are
endeavoring to do their best to im
prove the roads; and they will see
that the moneys are wisely and
economically expended. Then these
county organizations can discuss
State aid and a State Highway De
partment, petitioning the legislature
for the enactment of these bills, be
sides many more features of public
interest.
Now, the question remains is—
do the people of Georgia want an
organized movement? Are they wil
ling to join into an organized move
ment for the purpose of securing
Good Roads?
To those who are interested — to
those who feel the need for these civ
ic improvements —to those who, from
a patriotic standpoint, want to biuld!
Good Roads, while their state is en
joying the height of prosperity and
thus leave an everlasting legacy to
their decendants. If so, they should
sacrifice a day or two of their time,
and come to Atlanta, November 10,
and enter into the discussion of the ;
solution of the good roads problem.
Every county should send two or j
three delegates at least.
At this convention a record Will be
kept, with the names and addresses
of all who attend. These attendants
will undoubtedly be Good Roads ad
vocates when they come, or will be
before they leave; so everybody who
wants to be known as a Good Roads
advocate should have his name writ
ten there.
The program will be announced
in a few days, but suffice to say
it will be interesting.

Grade On Rome & Northern Al
most Completed to Gore.
The town of Shackelton is going
up almost like some towns I have
heard of in the west. It is not
being built in a day, but is being
built in a few weeks.
There are now twelve houses up
and material on the ground for two
dozen more. Families are moving in
the houses as fast as they are
ready and it will be the prettiest lit
tle village in North Georgia.
To begin with, nature has done
her part well, then it shows the good
judgement of the parties locating the
town, it is one of the healthiest val
leys in the state, and on a beau
tifully elevated plot of ground over
looking the railroad and near one
of the boldest springs of sparkling
water in. this valley.
We certainly appreciate what these
1 people are doing for our section in
giving us a market for everything we
I have to sell, and work for all who
want it. Now we hope the good peo
ple will join in and build a school
house and have a school that will
he worth something to the eoinmu-
I nlty.
The grade on tile Rome and North-
1 ern railroad is almost complete to
Gore, and we are sure glad for we
w’on’t have to haul our freight from
Rome and Summerville much longer,
and will all be in touch with the
outside world.
I The machinery for the trolley lino
to tlie ore banks on the mountain
is coming in and work on the line
will begin soon.
