MONEY FOR PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.

A Job for Judge Guerry When he Gets
to Congress.
From the Early County News.
If it is right and proper for congress
to appropriate large sums ofpublic mon
ey for making rivers navigable, which
after all are nothing more or less than
public highways, often usurped and abso-
lutely controlled by private corporations,
why cannot public roads--not railroads
receive at least small donations? The
construction and operation of railroads
all over the land has almost entirely obvi-
ated the necessity for keeping the rivers
navigable for the benefit of public COM
merce. Then, why do it? Early county
borders the Chattahoochee river,
and the time has been when she
was totally dependent upon steamers
plying that stream for the shipment of
her merchandise. Instead of appropriate
ing thousands of dollars for the purpose
of stirring the muddy waters and cat
in the Chattahoochee, we would like our
pro rata in hard substance put in our
county treasury and used for building a
hard, straight highway from Blakely to
Damascus. If Col. Walters or Judge
Query, which ever goes to the next
