At Regular Meeting The Board of

Sum of $50 to The Americus Light

The thanks of the Americas Light
Infantry, and of the people of Sumter

ty yesterday in voting the local COM
pany the neat little sum of $3.50, where
by the county authorities gave evil

services of this well equipped and we'll
disciplined military organization. The
Light Infantry protects the peace and
preserves order throughout Sumter
county when the services of the COM
pany are required, and upon more than
one occasion it has quelIed rioting and
maintained the peace. The men per
formed this periIous duty without fee
or reward, and the county commission
ers deemed it duty as we'll as pleas
ure to thus assist the soldier boys in
maintaining their organization. The
Americus Light Infantry is strong
right arm in Sumter county and in
Georgia in times of danger or trouble,
and every aid and encouragement
should be given the young men in their
efforts to maintain it at the present
high standard. This gift of $3.50 will
go long ways towards that end.

NO CHANGE IN ROAD WORKING
County Board So Decided at Meetir e
Monday

There Will be no change this year
from the present method of working
the public roads OF Sumter county, and
the sold road law of our forefaihers
will, necessarily, remain in force for at
least another twelve months, when
there may come change. 1a
Such Was the decision Of the county.
commissioners Monday.
And this decision is due to the,s fast
that, IN making the Ia t tax levy for
the current year, no provision was
made for road working except under
the system already prevailing.
The grand jury for the November
term of Sumter superior court, in the
general presentmente, strongly urged
upon the county commissioners the
adoption this year of an entirely differ
ent plan of working the public roads,
whereby the misdemeanor convlets
could be thus utilized.
In that way the county could get the
benefit of changing system, get b 1T
ter roads, aud the farmers saved the
cost of W rking them.
The commissioners state, however,
that at the time this recommendation
of the grand jury was made the county
board had already LEVIED the tax for
this year, AMI not auto p iiLg any
change from the present syst IN of
road working had assessed the county
taxes accordingly.
No change, therefore, can possibly
be made within the year.
This fact Is greatly to be regretted.
Sumter county needs better public
roads, and the ouly way to have them
is IN working the scores and dozens OF
misd emeanor convicts thereupon in
stead of sending them to the changing,
in which disposition the county derives
no direct benefit
Through continued and persistent
effort our roads may some time be bet
tered, but the desired change will not
come this year.
