The press has given publicity to contrary opinions as to the effect the $75,000,000 state bond issue for good roads would huveajpon state taxation. Some say it will increase taxation and otlieys say it will not. He that as it may Georgia roost have good roads if she would keep pace with the progress of the times and to reap that share of prosperity to whieli she is entitled. To have good roads within the next decade she must have assistance from some source. The necessary assistance can be had from the| federal government provided the people of the State will show a willingness- to help themselves. Hence the $75,000,000 proposition is before them for their disposal. If they vote for the bond issue, the State Highway Depart ment will have next’year $150,000, 000 with which to complete the State; scheme of good roads and within the next ten years the cry of poor' roads will cease in the State. It is staled that the motor tag tax, which amonnts to more than a million dollars annually, cannot under the present law be used to pay the interest on the beyids and it may be possible that additional legislation may have to be enacted to legalize it. This can be do*c at the next session of the legislature when that body provides lor the submission of the matter to the people at the next general election in November. The Tribune is heartily in favor of bonds, “and for the information of Atkinson county voters makes the statement upon what it con siders good authority that should they vote for these State bonds il will obviate the necessity of a county bond issue for that purpose. Furthermore, these State built roads will be taken over apd main tained for all time to come by the State Highway Department with out expeuse to the counties, and leave the county road force to look after the other roads of the county. The newspapers may preach the doctrine of "Buying home pro ducts” until the end of time, un less home products are presented to the buyer in attractive quality and appearance, their preaching will be in vain. This fact is dem onstrated over and over again— a customer goes in a grocery store; he sees'some couutry sausage and his first inquiry is “Who made them!” If the grocer mentions the name of some one who lias uni formally put sausage on the mar ket of good quality a sale is mmle, but is he mentions the name of some one whom the customer lias reason to believe is careless in the preparation of sausage they are passed up. “Honestly, now,” says the A 1 bany Herald, “if the Lord forgave you your trespasses on the same scale of liberality that character izes your forgiveness of those who offend you iu various ways, just how- near to forgiveness would you really be?" Take away heaven from the Bible and you discourage the ef forts of all .good men; take away hell and you encourage the wicked. The hope ol heaven is a powerful incentive for good to the righteous. Hell, if preached as forcibly as the law of God demands, is a great re straint to the wicked. * Gen. Peter C. Harris, a brother of Senator Wm. J. Harris, Adjut ant General of the army, has leave of absence until August <ll, 1922, which he will spend abroad. Upon his return he will be retired as a Major-General upon his own ap plication. His 4 year service as Adjutant General ends that date. AROUND THE CIRCLE. The news comes from Waycross that there is an epidemic of small pox at Sappvilte, a turpentine place a short distance west of Waresboro, md in that vicinity. And Dr. -cully, the city physician, reports half dozen or more cases in the • y of Waycross. The following selections have .ecu made by the republican state central committee to be postoffice jfiicials in South Georgia: Cogdell, Benjamin W. Redding; Stockton, J. E. Mathis; Uvalda, Hefuy A. Moses; Leary, Mrs. Oassie S. Bar bie; Jakin, Mrs. Ethel C. Warren. Capt. 11. If. Tift left no will and an administration of his estate will result. Messrs. T. Willingham Tift, R. W. Goodman and Ros well M. Smith will qualify as administrators. The estate, is es timated contrary to public expec tation, will not exceed $500,000. This is due largely to the shrink age of property values. Trains Nos. 6 aud 7, on the Geor gia and Florida railroad, operating betwceif Vidalia and Valdosta, were discontinued Monday. These trains have been operated at a loss for-months, and especially since Buss lines have commenced to <ly business between Douglas, Willa eoochee, Nashville, x ßay City and Valdosta. The Albany-South Georgia Fair has drawn the week of October 30- November 4 as the time of holding its 1922 exposition, and this date is expeoted to contribute material ly to its success. Yes, a fair weath er week adds hiucli to the success of any fair week, inspiring the folks to turn out and gratify their curiosity as to the progress of the year. The Omega school district of Tift county has called an election, to authorize bonds in the sum of $15,000 to erect and equip a school building, to be held Thursday, April 0. The question has been submitted to the voters twice be fore and failed, hut the board of trustees are confident that the .voters have changed their views and that success will tie the result this time. There has been much specula tion as to the fiction of Clinch county authorities in the matter of enforcing the tick eradication law. I)r. .). F. Fahay, government veterinarian superintending the work, gives out the information that building vats is proceeding rapidly and that actual dipping will commence in April. Inspect ors and line riders were selected last Monday aud will have thirty days instruction as to their duty. A dispatch from Moultrie states that the late frosts have played havoc with the watermelon crop of Colquitt county. The farmers of that county are “Earlybirds,” and they had a considerable acreage up and growing when the unexpected frost came. The farmers say, how ever, that this misfortune will not delay melon shipments very much as their practice of planting seed every week until the danger of cold is over, assures a stand when the warm spring weather comes to give them a growing impetus. Death, Sunday afternoon, claim ed one of South Georgia’s best and foremost citizens, when Judge John W. Price was called to his reward. The Tribune editor's first acquaintance with Judge Price was in 1885, when the latter was engaged iu the saw mill business at Sumner in Worth county. He was Ordinary of Worth county when the county site was moved from Isabella to Sylvester, in which office he served three terms. He was a citizen of Douglas, and high ly esteemed, at the time of his death. He is survived three sons —Robert B. Price of Tulsa,' Okla., Thomas S. Price and Ehr man D. Price aud a daughter, Mrs. C. W. Forbes, of Douglas, Ga-, also a sister. Mrs. J. 1.. Jay, Sr„ of Ma con.

Thursday Editor B. T. Allen, the Pearson Tribune, passed the seventieth milestone of life's journ ey, rounding out the full three score years and ten. They have been full years and useful years, and despite their handicap, he is today publishing, largely by his own unaided work, the best edited and neatest printed weekly news paper that reaches this office. — Tifton Gazette. VVho’d a thunk it? Editor Allen of the Pearson Tribune was seven ty years of age last Wednesday — George Washingtons birthday. He even admits his age. But a mall wifo “holds bis own” as w r ell as this veteran of the tripod can well afford to admit his age. Col. Allen is one of the best known newspaper men of South Georgia. His many friends throughout this section congratulate him on his three score and ten years. In mentioning this fact, Editor Allen says: “The Tribune editor reached his 70th birthday yesterday—three score and ten. He thanks the Great Jehovah for having dealt kindly with him, vouchsafing to him a health and strength seldom allotted to man. Life with him has been a mixture of experiences —good, bad and indifferent —ami a life of activity and toil.

ELOQUENTLY THANKFUL AT 70. Editor B. T. Allen, of the Rear son Tribune, reached his seventieth birthday a few days ago, aud this modest but soulful reference to if is made in hfs editorial columns; "The Tribune editor reached his 70th year yesterday —three score and ten. lie thanks the Great Jehovah for having dealt kindly with him.' vouchsafing to him a health and strength seldom allot ted to man. • Life with him has been am i x ture of ex perience—good, bad and indifferent —and a life of activity and toil. On the whole be has enjoyed life and desires during his future years, be they majjy or few. that his dealings his fel lows shall be just and honorable and meet the approval of the great Judge of all the earth.” "Ben” Alien is one of the few, old printer editors left in Georgia, and is of sterling mettle, an honor to the craft. We wish him many happy returns of his birthday.— Albany Herald, The Life of Three Score and Ten The following modest paragraph appeared in last week’s Pearson Tribune: "The Tribune editor reached hl» 70th year yesterday—three score and ten. He thanks the Great Jehovah lor' having dea;t kindly with him, vouchsalins to him a health and strength seldom allotted to man. Idle with him has been, a mixture ol experience—good, bad and Indlßerent—and a life ol activity and toll. (in the whole he has enjoyed life and desires during his hitnrfc veßrs, lx y many or lew. that his dealings with his tehows shall be just and honorable and meet the approval ol t he great Judge ol all the earth." The Savannah Morning News reproduced it, and termed it a “classic.”' XVe feel the same way about it, and if this sentiment could take hold of every Georgia ,editor, and stay with him until he reaches his three score and ten, what a delightful and promising profession if would be. XVe have known the Tribune editor for over a quarter of a century. At that time he was publishing the Tifton Gazette, the! only' newspaper ever published iu that city. His dealings with the fellows at that time were the same as they now are, just and honor-j able, aud so far as we have known, have been so all these years. Indeed, Brother Allen has some thing to be thankful for. Men of His type have done more to build up this once rough country and create wortli while sentiment iu it than any set of men we know. He has worked diligently and unself ishly for his fellow man, all thru these years and while bis reward may not be so great in material things of this world, be has reaped a bountiful harvest in the fact that he possesses a clear conscience, [and kept his name and character unstained and spotless thru all these years. This section of Georgia owes a lot to men of the Allon type. Mc- Intosh, of Albany, and Fieeman, of Douglas, are soldiers who fought the early battles with Ben Allen, and no one knows, like these men do, the courage it took in the early days, to be outspoken and stand straight, in their efforts to mold the right kind of sentiment in this country. Three score and ten. There arc many ups and downs in a life of seventy years. During a life j covering this period, there many ; “ships that pass in the night.” and j never make a return trip. But j Brother Allen says his "iifehasj been a mixture of experience— j good, bad, and indifferent.” He lias wisdom enough left to realize it, and most all our lives are made of similar experiences. But with it all, the Tribune editor is to be blessed. He has sealed many walls unhurt, came out of many hard battles without a scar, and now, having already served the Bibical allotment of time for man, he expresses his t hanks to the “great Jehovah for having dealt kindly with him.” The sentiment he expresses is most ATTENTION FARMERS!
