VOL. XXII NO. 35 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. x The Department of Public Roads, Washington, will send one of its | THE WITHAM BANKS | ” Are Known as The Farmer’s Friend | THE BANK OF MEMO ! • I < ii Will advance to its farmer customers at a liberal rate of > < > * J; interest, twelve to thirteen cents per pound for good cotton *; when and insured in the Menlo Cotton Warehouse.
