NEW HIGHWAY FROM
ROME TO ARMUCHEE
IS COMPLETED
To Eliminate Possibility of
High Water Making
Road Impassable
J. Hubert Griffin, of Carrollton,
president of the U. S. Highway
27 Association, announced the .
completion of a project of the
state highway department on U.
S. Highway 27, at Rome, to elim- j
inate the possibility of high wa
ter ever making the road im
passable. This construction
marks the final phase in a pro
gram designed to eliminate any
obstructions or interruptions of
traffic between Chattanooga
and Tallahassee.
Griffin said, “This project. ,
consisting of about 10 miles of
new paving leading from Rome I
towards Summerville, and a new :
concrete bridge just out of Rome, •
will eliminate the possibility of
this road being inundated dur
ing the seasonal spring floods in ,
North Georgia. The roadbed
passing through the usually sub
merged portion of the highway
right-of-way in time of flood
has been raised to a height suf
ficient to take care of the situa- .
tion under any flood conditions
and to allow local and tourist
traffic to pass at all times.”
Griffin stated, “we are very
happy to be able to report that
this work has been completed to
all of the tourist routing agen
cies who send tourists through
our section of the state. The new
paving also eliminates a curving [
section of U. S. Highway 27 and j
now gives us a fine, straight,
thoroughfare through a hereto-j
fore low-speed area.”
“We wish to commend the ac-!.
,; -n of the highway department (
j u their action taken to alleviatel.
this condition. The improving of I •
the roadbed with this kind of
construction will do much to
make this route an increasingly ,
attractive one to tourists who are.'
seeking a safe and convenient ( .
route in their journey through.]
cur state,” Griffin said.
The U. S. Highway 27 Associa
tion. representing 19 counties in ;
Western Georgia, is devoting its (
entire attention to the induce- i
ment of tourists through this ,
area. The features of the high
way drawing first attention of ;
the association are the improve
ment of the roadbed, the high
way markings and the tourist
accomodations.

Ann Williams Graduates
From Summerville High
Miss Ann Williams, one of the
outstanding students of the
Summerville High School, re
ceived her diploma at the grad
uation exercises held at the First
Baptist Church in Summerville
Tuesday night.
Miss Williams, who has always
maintained an outstanding sco
lastic record, is a charter mem
ber of the Beta Club, which she
helped organize last year. Her
scholastic record, this year, is J
such that she will receive a Beta
Club seal on her diploma.
Due to an error in the arrange
ment of the seniors as they
should have appeared for their
diplomas. Miss Williams’ name
was not called when she received
her diploma; therefore, we take
this method to assure Miss Wil
liams that it was entirely unin
tentional.—C. B. Akin. Superin-j
tendent of SummerviUs Schools.
THRASHER URGES
3 BASIC TAXES,
LARGER REVENUE
The number of Georgia’s taxes
, will be reduced from the present
487 to just three if the state tax
revision committee is able to
achieve the goal set for it by
State Auditor B. E. Thrasher, Jr.
Moreover, he told the initial
meeting of the group in Atlanta,
whatever expansion of state ser
vices is considered urgent should
[be recommended as well as a
11 simplifying of the state’s tax
‘ structure, for action by the next
I Legislature.
"I think it is important,” said
Thrasher, “that we accomplish
something revolutionary and not
flounder around and do nothing
as some committees and com
missions have done. I think the
state could raise much more rev
enue than it does now with just
three taxes —a general sales tax,
and income tax and an inheri
tance tax.”
At the organizational meeting,
Acting Gov. Thompson was
elected chairman of the commit
tee and a subcommittee was
named with Erie Cocke, Sr., At
lanta banker, as chairman, to
formulate plans for setting up a
permanent office in the city.

Unearned Vet Subsistence
Checks Must Be Returned
Veterans who receive subsist- 1
ence checks to which they are)
not entitled must return them!
to the Government, Mr. Theo-,
dore G. Thress, officer in charge
of the Veterans Administration
Rome Contact Office, today re
minded the numerous GI stu
dents preparing to leave school
for a three-month summer holi
day.
The VA officer reminded vet
erans that existing laws provide
penalties for fraudulently keep
ing overpayments.
Veterans in institutional or on
the-job training are entitled to
subsistence only while actually
in school or training, the VA of
ficer emphasized. Interruption of
training or schooling automati
cally terminates the legal right j
of the veteran to receive sub
sistence.
It is the responsibility of the
veteran to notify the VA prompt
ly when training is interrupted,
and any checks which are re
ceived because of a veterans
failure to notify the VA prompt
ly must be returned, the VA of
ficer reminded veterans.

COTTON JUMPED 70
POINTS ON TUESDAY
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 3—Cot
ton took an unprecedented jump
of nearly 70 points Tuesday
morning, according to reports
from the cotton exchanges.
The rapid rise of the market
brings the price up to nearly 13
cents a pound. Within the past
10 days the advance on quota
tions has been well nigh 200
points, an almost unheard of
condition in the market.
The sudden rise is due to the
report of the Government which
was made public Tuesday and
which stated that the cotton
crop was bad and had decreased
very much this year in compari
son with 1912.
The poor cotton crop is due
largely to a drouth in the west,
especially in Texas and Okla
homa. In Georgia, the report
showed, crop conditions are good.

GESA to Prevent
Overlapping of Vet
Subsistence Payments
Every possible effort is behm
made by the Georgia Employ
, | ment Security Agency to prevent
[the overlapping of veterans’ ed
: i ucation subsistence payments
and servicemen’s readjustment
allowances, Commissioner of La
-1 bor Ben T. Huiet said this week
- in commenting on a statement
made in Washington by a rep
-1 resentative of the Veterans Ad
ministration.
“We have enlarged our staff of
! investigators,” he explained, “in
[ order to give more prompt and
more careful consideration to
those cases in which there might
be a possibility of overlapping
payments.”
When a “GI Bill” student com
pletes, interrupts, or discontinues
[ his educational program, the
commissioner stated, it is his re
sponsibility to notify the Veter
ans Administration. However,
the interviewers in the 37 local
offices of the Georgia state em
ployment service will assist the
i student in completing and trans-
Imitting the required form.
“As soon as we discover'there
has been an overlapping of pay
ment of readjustment allowance
with subsistence allowance, we
[institute restoration procedures,”:
Mr. Huiet explained.
Field deputies of the employ- [
ment security agency investigate
the claims; and if the state of
fice finds what it considers signs
ol fraud, the deputies collect the
evidence which is turned over to [
the Labor Department’s legal I
staff for preparation.
The labor commissioner point
ed out that as soon as his legal
staff completes the preparation
of the cases his hands are tied,
inasmuch as the actual prosecu
tion of the cases rests with the
Veterans Administration and the
district attorneys of the Federal
district courts.
