Thus far not an Americas burglar

Americas is still dust choked, as the

WORKING THE couNTYs ROADS
Supt. PaschaI Makes Recommends
ton Thereupon

Supt, PaschaI Makes Recommends
ton Thereupon
At the recent meeting of the board
of county commissioners Supt. w. r.
Paschal, of the county roads depart
ment, made recon mendation relative
to the road work at present, which is
of general interest just now and espe-
cially to the farmers.
The Times Recorder gives space to
Supt. Paschal's communication, which
is as follows:
To the Hon. Board of Commission
ers Of Sumter county.
Gentlemen:-Havlng inspected q
large portion of the roads of our coun-
ty, [ find many places very much in
need of immediate work, and ask your
board to order all regular work to cease
for the present, so both gangs can pass
rapidly over the roads, doing what we
term, ''patch work" until they are put
in condition for fall travel, thereby
giving relief to as many citizens as pos
sible.
Until about November 18th. as
long as we can hope to keep the { ngs
away from winter quarters.
It Is impossible to maintain system
of good roads throughout the county
until they are made wide enough to
accommodate the travel and admit of
proper space for bitches of suffi oient
cap 4city to convey the water away dur,
ing the hardest rains without washing
the roadbed; also to allow the center
of the roads to take proper elevation
above the water line or drain ditch
to afford proper drainage of the soil.
The elevation of any road can only
be determined from thorough knowl~
edge of road material, as some materi-
ais Will require much greater elevation
for drainage than others to accomplish
like results.
L Ind that the main cause for the
condition of your roads are fir being
too narrow; neglect, and improper
working in the past. Narrow road
ways naturally force insufficient ditch
space that easily ill with soil
This forces the water during every
rain into the center of the road, wash
ing the roadbed lower than the side
bitches, causing the water foreman in
the roads so long after rains, until cons
slant travel soon gets them in such
condition that the public become dis~
satisfied and complain.
As soon as your road-ways can be
cleared of rocks and stumps improved
implements can be used to much great.
er advantage than now. when the
gangs will be able to get over the roads
more rapidly, and give to the public
better roads,
[ hope the roads will soon become
the county's pride. Respectfully sub
mltted. W. r. PAsCHAn, Supt.

puts total receipts here to date up to

than any other market in Georgia has
received, and puts Americus at the top
of the column on receipts. Prices
still flactuated considerably yesterday,
though buyers here still paid 1oB to
10t cents for the best grades. Res
ceipts yesterday were very good for
a midweek day and point to heavy re"

FEAR EPIDEMIC OF SMALLPOX
Georgia Towns May Be Infected With
Disease.

Americus, like every other town and
village IN Georgia, looks with appre-
hension upon a possible epidemic of
smallpox over the state with the APP
proach of cold weather. The scourge
was quite prevalent last fall, and while
Americus escaped with dozen light
cases, principally among negroes, we
may not be so fortunate again. Phys
ic ans express the belief that the dis
ease will appear this fall in more viru-
lent form, as the germs are widespread.
Already cases are cropping out all over
this part of the state, and two negro
patients are in the Sumter county pest
house now with the disease.
